Bones

Bones are one of the six organs of a corpse, and one of the three you can work with in the demo. You take them out at the Autopsy Table I with the Skin and Bones technology (2 blue). In 14 of the demo’s 15 kinds of corpse the bones are of the lowest quality and need Anatomy mastery 2; one kind has quality-2 bones, which need 4 (see Corpses and organs).

Most demo bones carry no skulls. Two kinds of corpse have bones with one white skull, which is worth leaving in, since white skulls are what a grave’s quality is capped by. The quality-2 bones carry one white and one red.
