Dr. Brief only had a rough idea of where Dr. Gero's laboratory was.

That function could detect life signs from creatures as small as insects, making it perfect for tracking down Dr. Gero right now.
After all, this northern mountain region was particularly desolate, with few creatures capable of producing life signals. Checking them one by
