When learning Father appointed the Sole Survivor as his successor, Lawrence protested the Sole Survivor's promotion by locking himself and along with Dr. Loken in the Institute Bioscience Laboratory. Newton Oberly tried to reason with Lawrence and Loken, but to no avail. The Sole Survivor is forced to either talk down the rebel scientists or killing them.
