DemoLabBooksCaught == 2
 The Scrapper is aligned with the destructive force of Thinner. He is powerful and dangerous- a product of directness and the pursuit of bettering himself at all turns.  He realizes that his needs are paramount and as such accumulates power quickly. His mastery of Thinner and thus destruction is unparalleled. 
DemoLabBooksCaught == 1
 The Hero is influenced by the creative force of Paint. He is a builder and restorer and as such he draws allies to him that aid in his journey.  In his striving to improve and uplift the world around him he also uplifts himself through acts of nobility and sacrifice.

 Look around, would you? Barry and Jamface have to be here somewhere!
Try using Thinner to dissolve some walls. You can erase any wall that looks brightly colored, or you can paint blue sparkly stuff, but choose wisely...

 The other is bound to be here somewhere! Look around, would you?

 Gloryosky! I thought I'd never see anyone again! Help a poor gremlin!

 Wait, did you find my wrench?! You DID! Give it here, then watch me fly!
Jamface

 You might need to Paint in some Thinned parts of the lab, like stairs. They look blue and sparkly.
You can Paint a target by pressing the B button, just like you would use Thinner.

Barry 
DemoLab_GhengisThank()
 Thank'ee kindly, sir! A caged gremlin is a sad critter.
Don't suppose you're missing a wrench? Saw one behind the generator over there.  It's the one with the big spinning wheel!
And if you haven't rescued my buddy Jamface, please look around for him!
Mickey
