RESEARCH LAB

Five research technicians are working here.  In their white lab coats 
they all look similarly uninspired.  Their names are visible to you on 
their employee badges, identifying them as Ben, Ken, Glen, Sven, and 
Jen. 

Ben is working with a wire stripper.   
Ken is working with a soldering iron.   
Glen is working with a small Phillips screwdriver.   
Sven is working with some long-nosed pliers.   
Jen is working with a allen wrench.   

No one appears to be using the Bunsen burner, which is currently 
turned off.   

You can't discern any purpose for the activities being performed by the 
research technicians.  It occurs to you that they may simply be trying 
to appear busy so that they can continue to keep their jobs.   

The door to the reception area is open.   

Near the door there is a coatrack with a lab coat hanging on it.   

>take lab coat
Your arms are getting full, but a little rearranging lets you take it 
anyway.  You take the lab coat off the coatrack.  This reveals some 
safety goggles hanging on the coatrack.  They must have been under 
the lab coat.   

>take goggles

Jen gives the allen wrench to you.
