[[File:Brig_phys_office.png|300px|thumb|alt=Forensics|Your workplace]] 
You are, effectively, a glorified medical doctor. You act as the Security team's medic and it is your job to <s>cut off prisoners legs so they cant run away</s> make sure the prisoners and security staff are all healthy.

'''''You are not a security officer, nor are you mindshielded.''''' You are similar to the Lawyer - a civilian who works in Security and does a job to assist them, unless you are promoted to the same role as a Security officer.

'''Bare minimum requirements:''' Heal prisoners and the Security Officers.

==Glorified Doctor==
Your main duty is to ensure that all members of Security and that all prisoners are healthy. To aid you in this endeavor, you are equipped with Medical HUD Sunglasses, and a standard Medical Kit. In addition, your workplace contains a locker with a defibrillator, and 4 medical kits for each damage type. Due to your nature as a glorified medical doctor, you also have the same access as one - including Medical Storage - if you require more advanced treatment options.

As Security has a tendency to get lost in Maintenance, you are gifted full Maintenance access, and can assess the type of damage they have via the crew monitoring console.
==[[File:Drapes.png|64px]]Surgery==
[[File:Surgical_room.png|300px|thumb|alt=Forensics|This is where you will do your surgery!]]In the event you are required to perform surgery, you have your own surgical room in the Brig, along with all the tools required to do so. Straight jackets are supplied in the event a prisoner is uncooperative, along with morphine for putting them under.
==Equipment==
As the Brig Physician, you have a variety of tools at your disposal for treating the injured and sick.

Here is a list of your <s>torture devices</s> unique tools:

* '''Defibrillator'''[[file:defib.png]] - for when you inevitably fail.
* '''Brute trauma kit'''[[file:brutefak.png]] - for healing the clown after a security officer beats him.
* '''Burn treatment kit'''[[file:bmed.png]] - for healing burn wounds.
* '''Toxins kit'''[[file:Tmed.png]] - for healing your patient after you <s>accidentally</s> overdose them on morphine.
* '''Oxygen deprivation kit'''[[file:O2med.png]] - for healing prisoners that got left in a cell without air.
* '''Security radio headset''' [[file:secheadset.png]], so the security officers can let you know that they have found a clown all beat up in the hallway.
* '''Pepper spray'''[[file:pepperspray.png]] , for self defense.
* '''Flash''' [[file:Flash.gif]], for self defence.
* Your '''PDA'''[[file:securitypda.png]], This little thing gives you access to both security and medical records, and has a built in Med scanner.
* A pair of '''latex gloves'''[[file:LGloves.png]] , used to cover your tracks after you fail to give the warden a cybernetic arm.
* A pair of '''handcuffs''' [[file:Handcuffs.png]] for detaining the assistant after he uses your own tools against you.
'''For a more detailed look at your equipment go to [[Medical items]].'''
==[[File:Light_Bulb.png]] Tips==
* Always keep an eye on the chat for when you are called to heal a prisoner or security officer.
* Have a look at the crew monitoring console every now and then - if a security officer gets killed in maintenance you can go and help him.
* You are not a cop, don't go arresting people.
* If all is calm at the brig go to med bay to see if you can be of some use.
* Have a look in the morgue for any bodies with potential weapons on them, then hand them in to the Warden.
==[[File:Doubleagent.gif]] Surgery is a dangerous game==
A security member as a traitor? Unthinkable, really. But don't fret - you have more than enough tools at your disposal. In addition to your already potent access as a medical doctor, you also have near-full access to the supply of food and medicine for Security, opening up a large variety of options for you. And if you have to steal something, well, things always come through lost and found - or IDs from the victims left in your wake, especially in their already weakened and vulnerable states.

You've worked yourself out being a [[Security Officer]]. Not hard enough for you? Well, you're in the right place. I hope. Being the Head of the entire [[Jobs#Security|Security Department]] that are tasked with protecting the entire station and its crew isn't an easy job. In fact, you have it the hardest only bested by the [[Captain]]. But just maybe, you might be able to lead your modest crew of [[Security Officer|Officers]] and the rest of the [[Brig]] personnel to victory against those who wish to bring harm and ruin to NanoTrasen.

'''Bare minimum requirements:'''
* Know and follow [[Space Law]]
* Secure the [[Guide to Head of Staff Equipment#Head of Security|X-01 Multiphase Energy Gun]] for your personal use.
* Know the job functions of the [[Warden]], [[Brig Physician]], [[Detective]] and your [[Security Officer|Security Officers]].
* Deputize trustworthy crew as necessary to assist with arrests.
* Guide your department and ensure they are communicating and prioritizing higher level threats over petty criminals
*Prevent [[shitcurity]] and uphold your department's reputation

==[[File:Bulletproofhelm.png]]'''THE Peacekeeper'''==
[[File:StunBaton.gif|32px]]'''[[Guide to security|See here to view the Guide to Security to learn the full in-and-outs of being an officer. Read this religiously if you want to be competent at being the Head of Security.]]'''[[File:StunBaton.gif|32px]]

As head of [[security|Security]], it is your responsibility to watch over the [[Brig]], [[Bridge]], and [[Courtroom]] areas and to make sure Security Officers [[shitcurity|don't ruin everything]]. Your job isn't to hunt people down unless it's an urgent matter in one of the many places your normal security officers can't get into, so you can usually just sit in your office and let the [[Roboticist#Securitron|securitrons]] and redshirts do it for you. You have more access to the station than anyone else in security, but less than the other heads. Try not to depend on it.

==Your Office==
[[File:hos-office.png|300px|thumb|Your office is the [[Head of Security's Office]], complete with posh carpeting and a pet spider!]]
Your office is in the [[Security Office]]. It holds several weapons, devices, a [[recharger]], and both types of security terminals, as well as a personal Head of Security Hardsuit, with slightly better armor plating and a unique look. Included as well are your usual office supplies, your unique stamp, key terminal, and a button to close the shutters on your windows when a riot starts knocking on your door.

Contents of the office include an [[energy gun]], your very stylish three-setting [[Guide to Head of Staff Equipment#Head of Security|X-01 Multiphase Energy Gun]], a [[stun baton]], a [[Security_items#Riot_Shield|riot shield]], [[Security_items#Mindshield_Implant|mindshield implants]], [[Flashbang|a box of flashbangs]], a full [[Security Belt]], and multiple stylish alt outfits to wear. It is recommended that you take most of these things, as they can come in handy when you really need them. Also included in your locker is a host of miscellaneous gear ranging from loudspeakers to remote door controls, depending on how generous central command is.

'''[[Guide to Head of Staff Equipment#Head of Security|Have a look at all your unique equipment here.]]'''
==[[File:Hoscap.png|32px]] Your Authority ==
As the Head of Security, you are responsible for all security staff. It's important not to lose track of them, and make sure they are doing their job correctly. You are concerned with the following people:
===[[File:Helmet.png]] [[Security Officers]]===
These are your pawns, and it's your job to control them. Each of them is given an department to guard when they sign up. If they're being assholes, yell at them and get them to fall in line - if they continue, throw them in the brig for a little while. It's important not to let these guys run rampant, because they can and will fuck everything up if you do. If they seem to not know what they need to do, give them a firm reminder of what they need to do. On occasion you might have a new player on your team, so don't go too hard on them. However, if they continue to be assholes or just totally incompetent, bust them back down to assistant and kick them off the force.
===[[File:Policecap.png]] [[Warden|The Warden]]===
The Warden is a higher ranking sec officer who acts as the Brig's watchdog. Make sure he doesn't set and/or support shitty brig times and that he doesn't leave the Brig while prisoners are present. He is next in the line of succession if you get bumped off, and your most senior officer. Treat him like your right-hand man, as he can run the Brig just fine by himself under most situations.
===[[File:Detectivefedora.png]] [[Detective|The Detective]]===
The Detective's job is to investigate crime scenes, if you don't have any leads its a good idea to send him in to take a look for fingerprints and DNA. He's used to operating with a fair degree of autonomy from Sec. Just remember to call him a loose cannon from time to time and be ready to send in the redshirts should he uncover [[Changeling|something big]].
===[[File:Fedora.png]] [[Lawyer|Lawyers]]===
The Lawyers' job is to act as oversight for security and defend poor defenseless traitors from the big scary [[Shitcurity|Shitsec]], <s>how well they do this is debatable</s>. Your authority over them is questionable, although you are completely within your rights to remove their Security radio access if it becomes an issue. If you need more help you can deputize these guys, but make sure they don't turn into their [[Shitcurity|worst enemy]]. Pass out some spare sunglasses or a SecHUD (if you're feeling particularly generous) and don't refuse their clients' right to counsel. If you wind with a ''[[Traitor|criminal attorney]]'' on your hands, don't hesitate to bring the hammer down.
===[[File:Bmed.png|frameless]][[Brig Physician]]===
The Brig Physician is basically security's private doctor/field medic, they are generally trustworthy and have the tools to heal your underlings and <s>remove annoying criminals limbs</s> perform surgery. If things get bad feel free to give them a belt and a E-Gun.
==[[File:Clipboard paper.png]] Assignments==
Each officer is given an assignment when they join the game. Most will be assigned to guard one of the four major departments (Medbay, Research, Engineering, and Supply). Department guards are given a small security office along with limited access and are able to use that department's radio channel. Department guards are also marked with color-coded armbands. It is your job to make sure each department is staffed by a member of security. If a department becomes a hotspot for criminal activity, it may be a good idea to reallocate more men to that department.
==[[File:Handcuffs.png]] [[Brig|The Brig]] ==
[[File:Thebrig.png|300px|thumb|alt=Brig|The [[Brig]] is where most of your "in-and-out" prisoners will make their stay.]]
The holding area for prisoners. Security personnel, [[Heads of Staff]], and the Lawyer have access to the hallway, but only Security personnel can use the cell controls. It's still possible for normal crewmembers to view the cells through the windows behind them. As the windows are electrified, though, they're not a valid means of entry unless the person happens to have insulated gloves <s>unless they are very stupid, this is Spacestation 13 some people are fucking dumbasses</s>.

Prisoners try to flee all the time, so do something about the doors (portable flasher), or handcuff them to the bed as you investigate their items (make sure to release them if they aren't super dangerous). And '''SET A FUCKING TIME TO THE TIMER''' -- it won't lock the door unless you do this. Remember that [[Station Engineer|some]] [[Quartermaster|prisoners]] may have a toolbelt or insulated gloves, thus a means to escape if left unsupervised. Remember to remove possible weapons, unless you want [[robust|a]] [[Handcuffs|nasty]] [[Stun Baton|surprise]], but you already knew that, [[Shitcurity|right?]]

In the event that a prisoner has been deemed too dangerous to release, they can either be executed or, if you aren't <strike>a barbarian</strike> a true manly HoS, taken to the [[Prison Wing]]. The prison wing is located to the upper left of the Warden's Office. It can comfortably hold just as many prisoners as the normal brig, but it has real airlocks to block the cells and the entire wing can be locked down with impenetrable security shutters. It also has no automatic timer, so don't put someone in a permanent cell without a very good reason. If you wish to execute someone the humane way, you can also use the <s>lethal injection</s> prisoner transfer chamber located to the left of the prison wing. If you do go this route make sure you keep it reasonably a secret from any Asimov silicons, i.e. don't talk about execution over security radio.

Or you can banish a prisoner to the Lavaland Gulag. A comfortable, out of the way location where escape is 99% impossible. Just make sure to not """accidently""" push the prisoner into the lava lake.
==You're My Favourite Deputy==
You're <s>occasionally</s> almost always going to get an understaffed (or entirely absent) department staff. This is going to pose a problem, especially during times of crisis. Luckily you are capable of deputizing volunteering members of the crew without having to make them full officers.

With your access to the Bridge ID Console, you can give people security access. A box of armbands in your office can also be used as a badge for those who you have deputized. Hand them some gear and cuffs, give them a briefing of what you expect from them, consider [[Security_items#Mindshield_Implant|mindshield implant]]ing them, and set them loose on the station.

By deputizing a crewman, you are authorizing them to act as a member of security. Although you run the risk of deputizing those who are [[Clown|inexperienced]] or downright [[Traitor|treasonous]], they can prove to be a valuable asset in extraordinary circumstances.
==[[File:StunBaton.gif|32px]] Day to Day==
You'll be dealing with the possibility of several different types of threats to the station on a round-to-round basis. It's generally a good idea to be alert and ready to call out exactly what the flavor of the shift is as soon as you can confirm it, so that your officers can be informed in their decisions from that point on. Knowing how to deal with everything that can be thrown at you is crucial to working well as the Head of Security, and while this guide provides a good start, experience is the greatest teacher.

You have basic departmental access, which means you can easily get into Engineering, Science, Medbay, and Cargo and <s>help yourself to goodies</s> investigate crime.

On greenshifts or before things start to hit the fan, your officers are mainly going to be dealing with small crimes: thefts, trespassing, a few fights if things get rowdy. Keep tabs on who ends up in your brig; remember that you can apply progressively harsher sentences to repeat offenders. Keep an eye on your underlings as well. Assholes or incompetents can easily turn the crew against your department, and the crew is perfectly capable of making your life hell while staying within the law. A single well-timed shove or spritz of space lube from a disgruntled crew member during a chase can endanger the lives of your officers or even the entire station. Ensure the members of Security are polite, professional, and competent at all times.
==[[File:Multiphase gun stun.gif]] Shut it Down==
If the situation on the station is spiraling out of control, and your control of the brig is in question, you can attempt to lock down the brig from hostile forces. Within the Warden's Office, and your Office, are controls that allow you to lock down the brig; these will activate massive blast doors that can selectively seal off the brig, making it significantly harder for anyone to get into the brig, and more predictable. You can then use security barricades to seal off entrances, as well as using the Security Door Control to bolt off select doors to the brig (usually held by the Warden).
===[[File:Flash.gif|32px]] Riot Control===
The Head of Security is a target while in [[Revolution]] mode. He's also one of the toughest people to attempt to attack directly. It is important to be reserved when you hear flashing in random locations and don't immediately run out and start beating skulls in. This makes you an easy victim. Bear in mind that some traitors will attempt to fool you into thinking there is a revolution - a false revolutionary might instead be carrying several [[Syndicate Items|strange and powerful]] weapons. That being said, just like any other head of staff in a revolution, you need to keep on the move. Staying in one place for long -- even a place people wouldn't expect you to be -- makes you a much easier target for a mob attack or stealthy bombing.

To decommission a revolutionary, you have two options: Beat their head in like the [[shitcurity|monster]] they always knew you were, or forcibly inject a [[Security_items#Mindshield_Implant|Mindshield Implant]] into their brain. The former, while a good deal more satisfying, is both unreliable and dangerous - it's easy to accidentally bludgeon someone not only out of the revolution but also out of their mortal coil. The latter takes more time and is limited in uses, but ensures people will stay on your side, barring an implant removal surgery. Don't be afraid to start batoning and implanting passers-by once a revolution is on board.

'''DO NOT TRY TO WIN A REVOLUTION BY TURTLING. YOU WILL LOSE THE WAR OF ATTRITION.'''

'''Remember''': If anyone seems to reject an implant, they are a Head Revolutionary and must be either killed or exiled if you intend to win control of the station. While you could shove them through the gateway or onto the penal colony, it's just as good to beat them to death in the Brig and leave their body to rot in the Warden's office - or better yet, mass driver them.
===[[File:Ritual knife.png|32px]] The Inquisition ===
With a cult on board, you quickly become both very important and very vulnerable. For all your gear, nothing but the [[Chaplain]] can protect you from a heretic with a piece of rune-etched paper. Success in defeating a cult is based primarily around resource management and thoroughness in your actions - it can be very difficult for the dark one's followers to complete their task when faced with a responsive Security team. It's important to acknowledge firstly the danger of a cult: Its members, much like during a revolution, blend in with the crew at large, yet can disable you instantly and drag you off to be sacrificed while you try in vain to scream for help.

The [[Chaplain]] is easily the most important person on board during a cult round, barring almost nothing: They provide you with an endless source of Holy Water, your primary weapon in staving off the cult and rescuing crewmembers from its grasp. It should be your top priority to secure them inside the Brig the instant a cult presence is confirmed, as they will very likely be an early target. Luckily, their null rod keeps them safe from magic, and can oftentimes mean the difference between victory and defeat. Force-feeding enough holy water to a cultist will force the darkness out of them, bringing them back to your side. Similarly, when applied to the floor, it is an invalid location for Wraiths attempting to jaunt.

One of your greatest allies outside of the [[Chaplain]] is the [[AI]]: Its constant camera view of the station cannot see runes, but it can easily report and lock down suspicious congregations of humans. Equipping it with a custom lawset gains you an extremely powerful surveillance unit that can single-handedly flush out the cult into your waiting arms. Be aware, however, that a Wraith can very easily kill the [[AI]]. Your comrade may be sadly short-lived.

Oftentimes, the cult will transition from a stealthy threat to a very blatant one with constructs and armor. Apply judicious amounts of laser fire and try not to get in melee range. Constructs are incredibly dangerous in the later stages of the game where they are able to mass-produce shells and shards. More often than not, it's best to begin evacuation when constructs start appearing en masse, as it is indicative of a very strong cult presence.

Constructs, as mentioned, can be a massive mid to end game threat from a cult. Juggernauts will make up the bulk of the cult forces, and not only do they have a heafty health pool but their unique armor will deflect a good portion of energy attacks. The best way to kill a Juggernaut is to use a ballistic weapon, such as a buckshot Riot Shotgun or a cargo ordered Auto Rifle.

'''Important''': Out of Holy Water? Chaplain dead, MIA, or never showed up? [[Cargo]] can order you religious supply crates, and [[Botany]] can mutate melons into holy-melons, which are rich in holy water.
===[[File:Nuke.gif|32px]] Going Nuclear===
Red hardsuits, dead AIs, telecomms explosions, oh my! Nuclear Emergencies are perhaps some of the most demanding rounds for a Head of Security, requiring a large deal of knowledge and raw robusting skill to overcome the terrorist strike team aboard the station. The premise is simple: There is a fukken disk, and you need to keep it. Fortunately you will start the shift with the pinpointer, making your job of finding the Captain, Clown or Operative with the nuke disk much easier.. The operatives all have pinpointers of their own, so remember that hiding the disk is never a viable option as they can track it down. Similarly, leaving the z-level with the disk (or destroying it) will cause it to respawn at a random predetermined point on the station, which is typically a worst-case scenario.

When shit hits the fan (the AI mysteriously dies and Telecommunications is now a smoking wreck), your first priority should be to locate and secure the disk. This typically involves dragging the Captain to Brig and using your desk announcement system (Which does work with comms down) to summon your loyal minions to the brig. They'll want the bulletproof armors and some lethal weaponry, and potentially the Ion Rifle, depending on what the Operatives brought.
Typically, it's a good idea to arm some assorted crewmen on top of your own forces, as they provide valuable meat shields for the more important people. Nuke ops also like to bomb and/or raid the armory, so your brig may become the front lines of battle.

Did you lose the disk? It ain't over 'til it's over, so don't be afraid to don your special Hardsuit and chase those chucklefucks right back to their own shuttle. So long as the disk escapes on the Emergency Shuttle, you are in the green. Worst case scenario you can still <s>abandon the station</s> evacuate to lavaland.
===[[File:Blob core.gif|32px]] Biohazard Containment===
For once, a problem you can't solve by harmbatoning. With a blob on board, you take on a unique support role that will see you bouncing between the frontline and the supply lines in the rear. Once a blob has been confirmed, your first and highest priority should be to empty out the Armory and distribute the energy weapons. Typically, it's a good idea to stow the Tasers and Shotguns, seeing as they're next to useless against biomass and some chucklefuck can and will waste precious time trying to use them. Against certain chemical variants, the Riot Gear is incredibly strong as well. '''Fuck the Ion Rifle. Space the Ion Rifle. Someone will take it and Ion you and ruin your day;''' it sounds like common sense but you will save yourself a world of hurt by just throwing it out an airlock.

Once you've ensured the crew is armed, it's usually best to gauge where you're needed and bounce between fighting the blob and making sure new weapons crates get unlocked. You're going to be one of the three or four jobs on the station who can open up the incredibly cost-efficient laser crates (3 guns for 15 points!) so try and remember how important you are. Beyond that, you carry a couple of guns yourself, and the more fire support the merrier. Finally, when you're not lasering the blob or opening crates, start fetching rechargers from the Brig or nearby Security posts to bring to the front where they're needed.
==[[File:Light Bulb.png]]Tips ==
*If you label all the items in the armory you distribute, you'll know exactly who fucked up and how when said items turn up in the backpack of the Clown.
*There are muzzles and straitjackets in the prison wing for restraining dangerous prisoners <s>& restraining people that annoy you</s>.
*If you fill an air tank with 20% O2 and 80% N2O, set the pressure to 101kpa, put on someone along with a mask, and turn their internals on, you can give them a fate worse than death for close to eternity. This also keeps changelings from reviving easily, but they can just use adrenals (they also work while asleep) and then turn off internals to escape. It's still good to buy you time to get to the kitchen or cremator.
*You can use the gulag shuttle (or any other shuttle, but the gulag one is the most convenient) to gib changelings. Surprisingly useful if the gibber and cremator were destroyed.
* The Armory has a few types of special implants - if you run out, more can be ordered from Cargo.
**Chemical implants can be triggered by the recipient or remotely via a prisoner control console. 50 units of chemicals can be injected into the implant while it is still in its casing, perfect for killing escaped prisoners.
**Tracking Implants have three functions: They tell you the approximate distance to your target, the direction from your current position (with the tracker), and acting as a teleportation beacon.
**Suspected Changelings can be implanted with a tracking implant as it gives a special HUD icon above their head. If the person you implanted later has a new identity, they are probably a ling.
**You can use tracking implants to give completely private orders to individual officers even while Telecomms is down.
* Chemical Implants are an effective way to incapacitate your perma prisoners: Ask Chemistry for the deadliest 50u they can make and pump it into an implant.
*Permabrig's electric razor is impractical; many people can be recognized on sight from their hairstyles and shaving them bald removes that.
*Taking a Riot Shotgun, filling it with buckshot shells, taking it out back and sawing it off with a circular saw will let you put it in your backpack, giving you a perfect counter to energy sword/shield users.
* If you can get Sergeant Araneus a sentience potion from Xenobio, he can help assist security. Besides, a giant spider patrolling the brig gives you several badass points.
*Keeping a close eye on your Officers and other staff is usually a very good idea. Keep tabs on your Officer's life signs by getting a portable Crew Monitor from Medbay. The [[CMO]] will most likely not mind.
**This however will not be able to detect [[Changeling|Changelings]] if they are fully disguised. Beware of these creatures infiltrating your security force. They are one of the biggest threats to you and your team simply because of their ability to assimilate into any scenario seamlessly. ''The enemy might be right next to you and you would never know.''

Infections

2021-03-29T00:53:20Z

HomerStanley: /* Virology 101 */

{{Needs revision | reason = With the rework and addition of extrapolators, entries relating to symptom acquisition or virology chemicals are outdated}}
There are many diseases that can affect you in space! The following will come in handy for [[virologist]]s, [[traitor]]s, or any unfortunate soul who's come down with a case of brain rot.
==[[virologist|Virology]] 101==
[[File:Virology.png|500px|thumb|alt=Virology|link=http://puu.sh/3EFaf.png|[[Virology]] is sealed from the rest of the station. You are not on the disposals network, nor do you share the same atmos system]]
The first, most important way to prevent 99% of infections is proper hazard wear and knowing how to keep the infection from spreading.
===The Clothes===
The following will protect you from the dangerous infections of space, each giving more and more (till total) protection against infection:
* Level-3 [[Bio Hood]]
* Level-3 [[Bio Suit]]
* Jumpsuit (virologist, CMO, geneticist, chemist, doctor, nurse suit, scrubs, Research Director)
* [[Latex Gloves]]
* Sterile mask
* [[Shoes]] (White shoes and [[Galoshes]] are the best)
* Private (clean) [[Internals]]
===Isolation===
If you or another crew member is infected, do not spread the infection further. Seek the isolation bay of the medical wing, or head to a room no one will enter but yourself and other infected.
===Sterilization===
Cleaning blood spills from the ground will prevent contact contamination. Make sure blood is cleaned from the floor at all times; any blood splatter out there could hold a dreaded space infection. Contact a [[janitor]] if you see blood on the floor, do not interact with the blood if you suspect possible infection chance. Any object or floor that has infected blood on it can infect anyone who handles or touches it.
===Methods of Infection===
The following are the various ways a disease can spread, keep this in mind at all times:
* Airborne - The most dangerous and quick spreading, if you are anywhere within the breathing area of the infected crew member, you have a chance to be infected.
* Direct Contact - Requires you to touch, been touched, or be extremely close to the source of the infection. The infection will be spread by the skin and bodily fluids of an infected person, but will not survive long in the air.
* Blood - The infection will be spread by the bodily fluids of the infected person.
* Special - The disease is not normally contagious and the affected crewman has been infected by a non-human vector source. You can work with the infected without risk yourself unless they expose you to the same vector source that infected them.
===Curing an infection===
Every infection is vulnerable to one substance (or combination of two). To find it, you can put an infected blood sample in the PanD.E.M.I.C 2200 machine or use a health analyzer on an infected patient. Administering the substance to the patient (may require multiple injections) should cure him. Alternatively, if you have produced a vaccine, a simple injection should cure the patient.
===[[File:Pandm.gif|64px]]PanD.E.M.I.C 2200===
This machine creates vaccines from the blood of people who have been cured.

Use:
# Take a blood sample with a syringe.
# Place sample into a beaker or bottle.
# Load beaker into machine.
# Select vaccine you wish to have.
# Take vaccine bottle it produces.
Additional uses:
* Reveals the cure to any infected blood sample without needing to inject a living creature.
* Shows the stats and symptoms of a virus
===Viral Extrapolator===
The viral extrapolator is a bulky, slow device, used to scan and extract diseases on the go. It has two modes, which can be toggled by using it in-hand

Scan [[File:Explorator_scan.gif|16px]] tells you what diseases are held within the target, if any, what symptoms they have, and what stage they are at.

Extract [[File:Explorator_sample.gif|16px]] can be used to harvest an advance disease from the target. If used on a culture bottle, it can be used to isolate a single symptom. The extrapolator takes twenty seconds to extract a disease, and one minute to isolate a symptom. There is a two minute cooldown before the extrapolator can be reused. It cannot isolate symptoms of a level higher than seven.

Upgrading the extrapolator:

By using a screwdriver on the extrapolator, you can remove its scanning module. Replacing it with a higher tier scanning module significantly lowers its cooldown and use times, as well as allowing isolation of higher level symptoms.

Symptom hunting:
Some objects can contain trace samples of the disease that the extrapolator can make into a culture. Many of these start with random diseases at roundstart, and can be harvested. This is the primary source of level nine symptoms. These items are as follows:
* Bloodstains. Only dried blood or old gibs will spawn with diseases.
* Vomit. Only crusty, dried vomit will spawn with diseases.
* Syringes. Only used syringes, found in maint, will spawn with diseases
* Mice and rats.
* Any item a sentient disease has used Secrete Infection on
* The glands of Wumborian Fugu always have a disease containing Pituitary Disruption
* Vector, the virologist's pet hamster, always has an extractable disease.
* Blob Spores created by the Blob Spores symptom always have the disease that spawned them
* Macrophages always contain the disease that spawned them.
==Infection Listings==
Thankfully, humanity has managed to cure and eliminate almost all of the diseases that plagued its infancy. However, the vast reaches of space have been found to harbor new illnesses that can affect the unprepared staff on Nanotrasen research stations. The following diseases are Simple Diseases that cannot be affected by the PanD.E.M.I.C 2200 or a Viral Extrapolator, and have no stats or symptoms.

=Advanced Diseases=
You are able to create your own advance disease with different symptoms, which will have buffs, debuffs and bonuses!

You will start out with two advance diseases, the cold and the flu. The cold will have the sneeze symptom and the flu will have the cough symptom.
They have almost no effect if they infect people, but you need them to acquire more symptoms.

The Pandemic can create culture bottles (basically copies) of existing viruses, so you won't run out while experimenting.
==Multiple Diseases==
A person has three slots for advanced diseases, with a fourth slot for sentient diseases. The slot a disease fits into is determined by Severity.
If a disease tries to occupy an already occupied slot, and its transmission is higher than the resistance of the disease already in the slot, it will drive the disease out and take its place
==Modifying Symptoms==
To obtain a new symptom you need to mutate an existing virus. This involves adding a chemical to the virus, which will generate a new symptom. Rarer and harder to acquire chemicals will yield more potent symptoms. You will start with enough chemicals to create a powerful disease, as long as you use them carefully. You can also insert an isolated symptom into your main virus, by moving 1 unit of the isolated culture to the main mix with a dropper. It will not work every time and may need to be repeated a few times.
====Basic chemicals====
These are the basic chemicals for virus mutation. These can be added to a culture to gain a symptom from a large pool- but it's about half as efficient as mixing [[Guide_to_chemistry#Virology_Recipes|advanced chemicals]].
* '''[[Virus Food]]''': You can make virus food with Water and Milk. Virology lab has its own Virus Food Dispenser. Mixing this with a disease will give that disease a symptom of level 1 to 2. Pure virus food is the only way to get level 2 symptoms, so, unlike plasma and mutagen, it is useful alone.
* '''[[Unstable Mutagen]]''': You can use mutagen to mutate your disease and give it a symptom of level 2 to 4. Virology starts with a 30u bottle of mutagen.
* '''[[Plasma|Liquid Plasma]]''': Plasma can be used to mutate your disease to give it a symptom of level 4 to 6. Plasma in liquid form is generally in very limited supply, unless mining and chemistry cooperates with you. Virology starts with a 30u bottle of liquid plasma, and in some station layouts with extra plasma bars.
====[[Guide_to_chemistry#Virology_Recipes|Advanced Chemicals]]====
Using these will allow you to both save time and resources when trying to acquire the symptoms you want.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Anomalous Virus Food|Anomalous Virus Food]]''': Anomalous Virus Food can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 0 symptom. It is made by combining pure Laughter with virus food. Level 0 symptoms tend to be statistically similar to other symptoms, but have an unusual effect- good for gimmicks!
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Virus Rations|Virus rations]]''': Virus rations can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 1 symptom. It is made by depleting Virus food with Synaptizine. Level 1 symptoms almost universally boost stats, but have very little effect. Level 2 symptoms tend to be a bit better, so it's wise to leave virus food as-is.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Mutagenic Agar|Mutagenic Agar]]''': Mutagenic agar can be used to mutate your disease to give it a level 3 symptom. It is made by mixing Unstable mutagen and virus food together. Level three symptoms tend to be either decent stat-boosters, or subpar active symptoms.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Sucrose Agar|Sucrose Agar]]''': Sucrose agar can be used to mutate your disease to give it a level 4 symptom. It is made by mixing Sugar or Saline Glucose Solution and Mutagenic agar together. Level four symptoms are quite weak, so there is very little point to mixing this.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Weakened Virus Plasma|Weakened Virus Plasma]]''': Weakened virus plasma can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 5 symptom. It is made by weakening virus plasma using Synaptizine. Level 5 symptoms tend to be some of the strongest stat symptoms
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Virus Plasma|Virus Plasma]]''': Virus plasma can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 6 symptom. It is made by mixing liquid plasma with virus food. Level 6 symptoms are the strongest active symptoms available without uranium or Highly Unstable Virus Food
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Highly Unstable Virus Food|Advanced Virus Food]]''': Highly Unstable Virus Food can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 9 symptom. You only get one unit, which is inert until a single uranium sheet's worth of uranium is added, but every single level nine symptom is powerful in its own way. The symptom you get will likely define the disease you make on any given round. <big><big>Highly unstable virus food was removed, and replaced with the viral extrapolator.</big></big>
====Uranium Gels====
These chemicals require large quantities of liquid uranium (obtained by grinding uranium bars). You'll require the help of mining to make these.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Decaying Uranium Gel|Decaying Uranium Gel]]''': Decaying Uranium Gel can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 6 or 7 symptom. It is made by combining 1 virus food with 1 liquid Uranium. Efficient compared to Unstable gel, but slower to use.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Uranium Gel|Unstable Uranium Gel]]''': Unstable Uranium Gel can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 7 symptom. It is made by combining 1 virus plasma with 5 liquid Uranium. Level 7 symptoms contain potent stat symptoms, and several esoteric symptoms.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Stable Uranium Gel|Stable Uranium Gel]]''': Stable Uranium Gel can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 8 symptom. It is made by combining 1 plasma with 10 parts liquid Uranium and 10 parts liquid silver or gold. Level 8 symptoms contain some of the most potent healing symptoms, as well as some very difficult to deal with deadly symptoms.
====[[Guide_to_chemistry#Synaptizine|Synaptizine]]====
Synaptizine, aside from being a base chemical, will remove one random symptom to any virus it comes in contact with. It's important if you intend to isolate a specific symptom. For example, if you mutate your Cold virus and it acquires the Toxic Filter symptom, you can try and add synaptizine to it to create a virus which only has the Toxic Filter symptom.
====[[Guide_to_chemistry#Spaceacillin|Spaceacillin]]====
Spaceacillin will "Falter" a disease, making it unable to spread by any method but injection. Good for meme diseases, or if you wanna meet a transmission threshold without fucking everyone over
====[[Guide_to_chemistry#Cryostylane|Cryostylane]]====
Cryostylane will Preserve a disease, making it unable to be mutated any further. If you finish a disease, you should Preserve it so it can't be edited, and so multiple diseases of different severity can be loaded into one bottle

====[[Guide_to_chemistry#Formaldehyde|Formaldehyde]]====
Formaldehyde will neuter one random symptom when mixed with a virus. This disables its effects while keeping the attributes intact. This is useful for meeting threshold values without making the virus deadly. '''NEUTER YOUR STAT SYMPTOMS, ALWAYS. UNLESS IT'S SOMETHING WITH AN EFFECT YOU ACTIVELY USE, ALL AN UNNEUTERED STAT SYMPTOM WILL DO, EVEN IF THE DISEASE IS INTENTIONALLY DEADLY, IS MAKE THE DISEASE GET NOTICED FASTER, AND, SCARE PEOPLE IF YOUR DISEASE IS GOOD, PROBABLY GETTING YOU LYNCHED. NEUTER YOUR FUCKING SYMPTOMS. YES, FEVER AND ITCHING CAN DO SLIGHT DAMAGE. NEUTER THEM ANYWAYS, DAMMIT'''
==BABBY'S FIRST VIRUS==

|name=Eyre I, the Virologist
|text=Psst, hey kid. Over here. Look at you, still fresh off the arrivals shuttle. Take the biosuit off, it'll only slow you down. Listen up- I'm here to teach ya exactly how to get robust at Virology, provided you can wrap your head around some simple concepts. I've hijacked this outdated nanotrasen standard-issue virology guide to teach YOU how to be a better Virologist than those Nanotrasen quacks!
|image=[[File:Viro action.png|64px|right]]
}}
Alright, since most people can't seem to grasp it: Virology is fucking SLOW! So this means you're gonna want to do a few things to make it faster!

1. Know what virus you want to make! I cannot fucking stress this enough. Random symptom isolation will never get you anywhere fast. Make a recipe for what you want, and then go aquire the symptoms
===Virology with extrapolator:===
2. Grab the spare extrapolator from the biohazard closet. You'll need extra to save time. Whenever you stop in medical, check the medical protolathe to see if you can upgrade the extrapolator with a new scanning module. Use a screwdriver to remove the old one, and shove the new one in. This lowers cooldown, massively speeds up the extrapolator's speed, and allows you to isolate higher-level symptoms

3. get a medical belt for your extrapolators. Consider grabbing a bio-bag for cultures. If CMO is nice, ask for the budget card- getting the budget allows you to skip maint-crawling entirely

4. Use the extrapolator to scan dried blood, old rotting gibs, crusty old vomit, used syringes, rats, etc, for viruses. if you see any symptom that fits the recipe, grab the culture! ALTERNATIVELY, with the budget, go to cargo and buy as many VIRUS SAMPLE CRATES (not Virus Crates) as you can. All the cultures will fit in the bio bag, and it can save cargo crate-dragging time if you go into the shuttle and pack them into the bag yourself. If you lack a budget, offer to do the viro bounty for virus crates- it's usually worth 4-8k, enough for 2-4 crates. If you want level 0 symptoms, find a source of banana juice

5. Once you have all the level 9s (and hopefully 8s and 7s to save time) you need, go back to viro. Make sure you have a level 3 scanning module at minimum. If you're missing any level 0-8 symptoms, get the virus chem for that level

6. Extrapolators make gaining a symptom easier. Lay a base culture out, any culture, and add 1u of the base culture. Add 4u of the desired chem, one drop at a time, and check if it has the symptom. If not, empty until it does. When it has the symptom, isolate it with the extrapolator. This is faster than 1u at a time (this being due to the fact that you're lowering the symptom pool by the amount of symptoms already in the culture, raising your chance).

7. Take your extrapolators, and begin using both in tandem (avoiding cooldowns) to extract every other symptom you need from your collection of culture bottles

8. Once you have every symptom you need, begin putting them in an empty beaker, neutering symptoms from their base culture when applicable. After reaching 4 symptoms, make a culture every time you try to add a new symptom, due to how symptoms may delete other symptoms at high symptom count. Add it one-at-a-time to the main culture, and always drip the single symptom into the main culture, not the other way, as this minimizes the chance of symptom deletion (the check is called per-symptom on the culture being added, so adding only a single symptom only checks it once)

9. After it's done, label it, make a backup culture, and Falter or Preserve it as necessary. Preserving a virus allows multiple to be placed in one culture bottle!
===Virology without extrapolator:===
2. You'll need five beakers when you get started making your virus:
*Fill the first beaker to the brim with virus food and put it on the table. This is for level one and two symptoms.
*Fill the second beaker with thirty units of virus food, and dump your entire mutagen bottle in. This is for level three symptoms.
*There is no beaker for level four symptoms. Four is an unlucky number or some shit, and, more importantly, all level four symptoms suck
*Fill the third beaker with ten units virus food, ten units Plasma, and then ten units of Synaptazine. This is for level five symptoms. '''THE ORDER IS IMPORTANT. PUT SYNAPTAZINE IN BEFORE PLASMA AND YOU'LL GET A BEAKER OF VIRUS RATIONS AND PLASMA, WASTING YOUR CHEMS. DONT DO IT.'''
*Fill the fourth beaker with ten units virus food and ten units of Plasma. This is for level six symptoms
*If you have the clown's can of laughter, you can fill a fifth beaker with ten units of virus food and the entire can of laughter for level zero symptoms
3. Lay out your Formaldehyde, Synaptazine, and Unstable Virus Food.

4. Finally, set an empty beaker out, and either Rhinovirus or the Cold. The Cold's symptom is Coughing, and Rhinovirus is Sneezing. I am a plasmaman, so all my diseases need high transmission- I prefer to set out rhinovirus.

5. Whichever symptom you choose to start with, drop a drop of formaldehyde in immediately! this neuters the symptom so your plague doesnt alert and scare people, which is bad regardless of your antag status. '''Remember to use your dropper, after setting it to one unit!'''

6. After you lay out your beakers on the table near the pandemic, situate yourself on a tile adjacent to the tables containing the reagents and your PANDEMIC machine. You will never have to move during this procedure- which saves valuable time.

7. With your recipe in mind, begin placing one unit of your starting symptom culture and one unit of the virus chem corresponding to your disease into the '''empty beaker'''. Do NOT place your virus chem into your culture, or your culture into your chem- it will set you back by an insane amount!. After you make ONE reaction, place the empty beaker in the pandemic-You never need to pick any beakers but this empty beaker up during the process- and check the symptoms. If you got what you wanted, create a culture, save your previous culture if it's the starter, you will need it later, or get rid of it if it's a random step in the process, and repeat with the chem for the next symptom, doing symptoms you will neuter first and neutering them as you get them. Repeat until you reach a total of four symptoms. '''To reiterate step five, ALWAYS use a one unit dropper! it makes you far more efficient with chem usage- if you use a dropper, your starting chems will usually last an entire round!'''

8. Upon reaching four symptoms, a virus has a chance to lose symptoms on gaining new ones. To avoid this, make a culture of your four symptoms, name it, and put it aside. Take your starter culture out, and begin the step 7 process. Once you get the fifth symptom, use the step seven process with synaptazine to remove the starter symptom, and finally repeat the step seven process one last time to get the last symptom. By now, you should have two cultures- one with four symptoms, and one with two (or one, five symptom diseases exist)

9. Finally, repeat the step seven process one more time, but using the two cultures, instead of a chem and a culture. There is no reaction sound for this mixing! Once you reach the desired number of symptoms (yes, adding symptoms via mixing can delete symptoms just like adding them via chems does), name the virus, and make a culture! you're done! yay! Consider Faltering your disease with Spaceacillin if you don't want it to spread, and/or Preserving it with Cryoxadone.

==Understanding stats==
After you're done mixing your disease, stats from the symptoms are added together to make disease stats. Viruses have a default of 0 in every stat.
* '''Stealth:''' If stealth is 2 or higher your disease will be hidden from medHUD and scanners. Generally it will also hide the warning signs of symptoms before they activate.
* '''Transmission:''' Improves the chance each tick to spread the virus, increases the amount of protection you need to prevent infection, determines the infection vector, and is needed to override other viruses.
** The infection vector is calculated with (disease's transmission - amount of symptoms). 2 or less is blood, 3 is fluid contact, 4 is skin contact, 5 is airbone. The Sneezing symptom forces sporadic airborne spreads, but does not otherwise affect this.
** When infecting someone who already has a virus, if the infecting virus' Transmission is higher than the other virus' Resistance, the latter will be overridden by the former.
* '''Stage speed:''' Increases the chance of advancing a stage each tick. It will be 2% or stage speed, whichever is higher.
* '''Resistance:''' Makes the virus harder to cure; determines the required chemical to cure, decreases the chance of it being cured each tick when in contact with the cure, and defines how resistant the virus is to being overridden by other viruses. Sentient diseases have a fixed cure, and don't rely on resistance to determine their cure.
** The chance of it being cured every tick is 15 - resistance, but always between 10 and 20.
** The cure is determined by [resistance - (amount of symptoms / 2)].

* '''Severity:''' Severity determines how virus shows up on a medhud, and which slot a disease occupies. Severity adds up in a manner different to other stats- A severity score below 0, or equal to or above five will be added normally. A severity of 1 or 2 will be added to a maximum of 3. A severity of 3 or 4 will be added to a maximum of 4. Severity also determines which of a person's three disease slots a disease occupies, unless the disease is sentient.

===General Tips===
* You can get plasma and uranium from the medical autolathe if mining has picked it up. No need to waste time going to the ORM.
* The clown will typically be happy to give you his canned laughter for Anomalous Virus Food. if not, a single ground-up banana cream pie mixed with sugar is sufficient for as much laughter as the can usually has
* Never make sucrine agar unless you absolutely need a level four symptom for some ungodly reason
* If you wear the biosuit, you're an idiot. The only time you need to wear that is when working with patients or monkeys, and it slows you down. If you release a disease as a traitor, you should have immunized yourself beforehand- a biosuit sticks out like a sore thumb
*'''ALWAYS make your diseases beforehand. Have a recipe ready to work with any given symptom. This is the MOST IMPORTANT part of being good at virology.'''
* Never use pure mutagen or pure plasma. Always make virus chems, it doubles your efficiency.
*If you want to kill a single person, single target viruses using Viral Aggressive Metabolism can be just as effective as a deathchem. If you're an antagonist, and want to be sporting, try poisoning your victim with a powerful zombie virus. In my experience, people love when you do this.
*While spreading a low-effect beneficial disease may be tempting, designing a combo of multiple diseases (Called a "Trifecta") at varying severity levels, is usually the best way to go. A good trifecta usually has multiple level 9 symptoms, and can take most of a round to create- but it's worth it.
*For stealth: 2 stealth is the only time it matters outside of thresholds. The only time stealth is used outside of this is for extrapolators.
*White shoes protect from infection sources on the ground, such as bloodstains, vomit, and Exolocomotive Xenomitosis mass
*If you want a virus to be spread exclusively via Exolocomotive Xenomitosis or Macrophage, falter the virus containing that symptom. It won't spread via transmission, but will still spread via infected floor or macrophages. Note that when these viruses meet their threshold that spreads all host viruses, they won't spread faltered versions.
===<span title="Neutered Fever, Neutered Sneezing, Inorganic Biology, Viral Evolutionary Acceleration, Revitiligo, Necrotizing Fasciitis. That was my first truly engineered death plague, and it's a pun to boot! it sucks ass, though.">The Black Death===
Being a traitor virologist allows you to finally come out of your shell and release those negative recipes you've been aching to test, and put those level nine symptoms to the true test!
* Sabotaging the Pandemic is usually a good idea, as it can create a vaccine for a cured virus which is cheap and easy to distribute, even if the virus is extremely resistant.
* Sabotaging the holodeck computer is also a good idea because its Emergency Medical simulation also contains a Pandemic.
* Sabotaging chemistry can stop them from making most of the chems that can cure viruses.
* A dropper works as a 1-5 unit hypospray when used on a target not wearing any eye protection.
* An infected monkey in medbay is another easy way to spread a disease
* Immunize yourself before releasing your death plague!

HomerStanley: /* General Beepsky */

{{Needs revision | reason = Missing atmosbots and IPC repair}}
Are you a [[Roboticist]]? This guide will explain the creation and maintenance of [[Cyborg]]s, bots, and stocky exosuits.
[[File:Robotics.png|thumb|400px|alt=Robotics|[[Robotics and Mech Bay]]]] 
==[[Exosuit Fabricator]]s==
These are the main machines used in [[Robotics]], with them you can create various exosuit and cyborg parts and their upgrade modules.
Remember to sync these with the R&D servers frequently for new equipment designs and increased production speeds.

If one (or more) of the Exosuit Fabricators gets stuck at updating from R&D servers, use a screwdriver on it and then crowbar that fucker!
Remove any metal/glass sheets and then put all the components back into the machine frame, use a screwdriver at the end to reassemble the Exosuit Fabricator.
====[[File:Generic_borg.png|64px]] [[Cyborg]]s====
Total Part Cost: 100000 [[File:Metal.png|Metal]]
{| style="background-color:#EEEEEE" width="300"
!Requires
|-
|1 x each Cyborg part (made with the [[Exosuit Fabricator]]) 
2 x [[File:Flash.gif|Flash]] ([[Exosuit Fabricator]]) 
1 x [[File:CableCoils.png|Cable Coil]] 
1 x [[File:Power_cell.png|Power Cell]] (preferably at least High-Capacity) 
1 x [[File:Brain.png|Brain]]→ [[File:MMI.png|MMI]] OR positronic brain OR B.O.R.I.S. module
|}

The [[Cyborg]] is the Roboticist's primary creation. They are tasked with helping the station's inhabitants in their daily life and trying to kill everyone when the [[AI]] is insane. Each cyborg is required to follow the AI's laws, and may choose one of the AIs in the event that more than one exists.

Assuming you already have the necessary components:
# [[File:Power_cell.png|Power Cell]] Insert a charged power cell into the cyborg's chest
# [[File:CableCoils.png|Cable Coil]] Insert a coil of wire into the cyborg's chest
# [[File:Flash.gif|Flash]] Insert two flashes in the cyborg's head (one for each eye socket)
# For final assembly, take each component and apply it to the cyborg endoskeleton
# [[File:Multitool.png|Multitool]] Multitools can be used to give cyborgs names. Simply apply the multitool before the brain is installed. Note that calling a borg 'PenisShitter 5000' will not net you any new friends, however, if your borg leaves the name up to you, be sure to name it 'PenisShitter 5000'. For some hilarity and general confusion, try giving the borg the same name as the AI.
# [[File:Brain.png|Brain]] Once it's complete, it's time for the brain. [[Surgery#Brain_Removal|See here how to remove your volunteer's brain.]] (If the brain has been removed from the head without surgery, you will need to pour [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mannitol|mannitol]] on it to fix it)
# [[File:MMI.png|MMI]] Now put the brain into your [[MMI]], and then the MMI into the cyborg suit. Congratulations, your cyborg is complete. Put the brainless corpse into a body bag and deliver it to the [[Morgue]] (or throw it down the disposals because ROBOTICS!). If when you insert the MMI into the cyborg it says "This MMI does not seem to fit." it means the user is job banned from cyborg.
# Instead of a brain, you can insert a positronic brain (controlled by a ghost) or B.O.R.I.S. module (controlled by the AI) into the cyborg as well.
==Cyborg Maintenance==
In the beginning of a maintenance process, you need to open the Cyborg's maintenance cover. To open it:
#[[File:Id_regular.png]] Use an ID Card, [[File:Emag.png]] [[Emag]] it or just ask the Cyborg to unlock its panel
#[[File:Crowbar.png]] Use a Crowbar to open the cover.
After the maintenance process use the same tools in reverse order so the Cyborg doesn't run around with its cover open, like so:
#[[File:Crowbar.png]] Use a Crowbar to close the cover.
#[[File:Id_regular.png]] Use your ID Card to lock the Cyborg. Borgs can't lock their panel.
===Cyborg Repairs===
Cyborgs will often come to you for repairs if damaged.

For brute damage:
# [[File:Welder.png]][[Welding Tool|Weld]] them to fix the dents.
For burn damage:
# Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.
# [[File:Hud-hands.gif]] Use an Empty Hand to remove the battery.
# [[File:Screwdriver_tool.png]] Screwdriver to expose wiring.
# [[File:CableCoils.png|Cable Coil]] Rewire the damaged circuits. You may have to do this step more than once.
# [[File:Screwdriver_tool.png]] Screwdriver to hide wiring.
# Re-insert the old battery or insert a new one.
# Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.
Engineering cyborgs can repair dents on themselves and on their fellow cyborgs. They cannot repair burn damage though, since they cannot remove power cells to reach the wiring.
===Cyborg Batteries===
You will often see at least one Cyborg come to your assembly line to ask for an upgrade.
# Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.
# [[File:Hud-hands.gif]] With an Empty Hand, remove the old battery.
# [[File:Power_cell.png]] Insert a New Battery.
# Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.
===Cyborg Radios===
Cyborgs can be installed with radio encryption keys, allowing them to communicate on secure department channels.
# Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.
# [[File:Encryption_key.png]] Insert a New Encryption Key (or Screwdriver to remove the current Key).
# Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.
===Reviving Cyborgs===
A cyborg that has failed but not been turned into scrap can be repaired back to working order.
# Create an Emergency Restart Module at the Exosuit Fabricator (under Cyborg Upgrade Modules).
# Repair the Cyborg with a welder and/or replace wires.
# Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.
# [[File:Circuitboard.png]] Insert the Emergency Restart Module.
# Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.
===Upgrading Cyborgs===
# Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.
# [[File:Circuitboard.png]] Insert the Upgrade Module (or emag to subvert).
# Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.
===Resetting Cyborg models===
For info on how to reset a cyborg's model, check out the [[Hacking#Cyborgs|Guide to Hacking]].
===Deconstructing Cyborgs===
Cyborgs can be deconstructed to remove their MMI and get their parts back.
# Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.
# [[File:Hud-hands.gif]] Use an Empty Hand to remove battery.
# [[File:Screwdriver_tool.png]] Screwdriver to open wiring.
# [[File:Wirecutters.png]] Cut every wire until the '''lockdown''' light turns on.
# [[File:Wrench.png]] Wrench to disassemble.
(Alternatively, for steps 4 and 5, you can use a Robotics console)
==== Upgrades ====
[[Roboticist]]s can construct upgrade modules for cyborgs, such as one that increases your movement speed. Should you wish to change models, ask the roboticist to cut and mend your reset wire.

Despite what some old-timer Roboticists may tell you, DO NOT JUST TAKE THE BONESAW AND CUT THEIR HEAD OFF WITHOUT SURGERY. Removing a brain without surgery will damage it and may result in the immediate death of the brain.

In case this happens, you will need to ask the [[Chemist]] to make some [[Mannitol]] to fix it. Once you have a beaker of it, just splash it on the brain and it should be good to go. You can always examine the brain to see if it is still damaged.

If a head is not attached to a body, you can simply use a [[File:Scalpel.png|Scalpel]]scalpel or some other slicing/cutting item on it to cut the brain out. No need for drapes or table.
=== Limb Augmentation ===
Replace a limb with a robot part. The head, torso, arms, and legs can all be augmented. Augmenting torso makes you immune to appendicitis and xeno larva. Robot limbs are tougher. They need welding to "heal" brute damage and wires for burn damage, and cannot be otherwise healed. EMP pulses will hurt augmented humans.

==Bots==
As a Roboticist, you serve another important purpose: making robots. Robots can benefit the station in many ways, and are really damned easy to create. The current list of robots, and how to make them, is as follows:

'''Remember:''' All bots can be made through the crafting menu (T-like hammer hud-icon). This can save a lot of time during construction, especially if Robotics is busy!
====[[File:Medibot.gif|64px]] Medibot====
Performs a baby version of [[Surgery#Tend_Wounds|tend wounds]], except it can heal all 4 basic damage types. The surgery works through clothes and without the patient having to lie down. Amount healed scales with [[Surgery#Tend_Wounds|tend wounds surgeries]] researched. Each researched upgrade of [[Surgery#Tend_Wounds|tend wounds]] increases health healed by 50%. Requires a "refresh" similarly to operating computers to benefit from research. Medibots heal more of a specific damage if the medkit used to make them was oriented around that damage (a tox medkit medibot will heal toxin better). 
When [[Syndicate Items#Cryptographic Sequencer|emagged]] it will inject 5u [[Guide_to_chemistry#Chloral_Hydrate|chloral hydrate]] and damage you based on what they would have healed (brute if you don't need treatment) per step.

====[[File:Cleanbot.gif|64px]] Cleanbot====
Cleanbots are great, as they serve the exact same purpose as the Janitor. What makes it even better is that it uses Space Cleaner to mop, so no slipping on everything! When Emagged (or hacked) it will spew slippery foam and melt people with acid.

Floorbots are nice to have around when some asshole starts crowbarring up floor tiles or some traitor has blown apart a section of the station. They zoom around and repair busted floor tiles.

Basically, Officer Beepsky without the personality. You usually won't need to build any of these, but they can be hilariously helpful for traitors who have invested in a [[Syndicate Items#Cryptographic Sequencer|Cryptographic Sequencer]], as they tend to run around stunning and cuffing everyone in sight.

# Toss in a [[Stun Baton]] and your Securitron is ready!
Note: Destroying a Securitron or Officer Beepsky with a melee weapon is all but impossible by yourself; striking them causes them to immediately stun and cuff you. If you work with another person you can get several hits in while it is cuffing the other person, which is often enough to destroy it outright.
====[[File:GeneralBeepsky.png|FOOLISH JEDI|64px]] General Beepsky====
This is General Beepsky (or General Grieffous, your pick). A terrifying 4 esword wielding nightmare-bot created by a mad roboticist with the help of some leftover eswords, this thing is a [[Traitor|traitor's]] worst nightmare. It takes down criminals by delivering deadly spin attacks, instantly downing a target with its rapidly rotating eswords. It gets even worse when a [[Syndicate Items#Cryptographic Sequencer|Cryptographic Sequencer]] gets involved, as General Beepskey will begin to mercilessly track, kill, maim and subsequently disembowel any target it comes across.

Unlike normal Securitrons, General Beepsky can deflect projectiles with its eswords. Its only true weakness is an EMP.

Has a toy sword version.

====[[File:Generic drone.png|64px]] [[Drone|Drone]]====
'''Note that Drones are currently admin spawn only, outside of the three derelict drones.'''

A disposable little drone that runs around and repairs things. Controlled by players, and can't interact with any other beings at all (besides other drones). Usually good to make lots of these to let ghosts get back into the round.
# [[File:Droneshell.png|Drone Shell]] Build a drone shell from the Drone Shell Fabricator by inserting glass and metal.
That's it! Any ghost can click on the drone shell to take control of it and start repairing the station.
==Exosuits==
These can be tremendously helpful or tremendously annoying depending on who uses it. They take more work to make than robots and require special circuits, which are obtained through the [[Quartermaster]] or the Research and Development console.

With all Exosuits, [[MMI]]s can be installed as drivers. But remember, MMIs are not bound to the AI or its laws, so don't put any [[Traitor|deranged]] [[Clown|maniacs]] inside them. Remember to grant MMI controlled mechs access keys, because they don't have a keycard on them!

'''Description:''' The Ripley APLU (Autonomous Power Loading Unit) is a fast moving exosuit with no atmospheric protection. Don't expect the wire screen to do much against ranged weapons. Useful for carrying boxes and as a lightweight platform for various exosuit tools.

While it lacks the Firefigher's lavaproofing and improved armor, the Ripley APLU can still go toe to toe with Lavaland mobs thanks to its good melee protection.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>The exosuit itself can withstand decently high temperatures without taking damage. It does not, however, offer protection to the pilot from fire or temperature hazards.

=====Durand Shield=====
The shield can be enabled and disabled with a hud button. It drains energy very fast, and drains even more energy when blocking attacks. This is what the Durand shield looks like. The red area is not visible in-game, but shows which directions the shield will block attacks from.

==Exosuit operation and maintenance==
To climb into an exosuit, just drag and drop your character onto it.
====Exosuit beacons====
Adding a tracking beacon (exofab "Misc" category) to a mech allows the RD's exosuit control console to track the mech, view detailed stats, message the pilot and even EMP it when neccessary. The EMP is reusable after a cooldown of 10 seconds.

Research can also unlock an AI control beacon that lets the AI - you guessed it - control the exosuit.
====EMP====
When an exosuit is hit by an EMP-effect it will take burn damage, lose some battery charge and have all its equipment disabled for 3 seconds.
====Locking/unlocking Exosuits====
There are two ways to lock exosuit: A) ID ("keycode") lock or B) DNA lock.

A) '''ID lock (keycode)''':

Adding a keycode to a mech will grant it access to that area, but will also prevent anyone without that access from entering the mech.

For example: A mech with "bridge" and "robotics" keycodes has access to both areas, but requires an ID card with at least bridge and robotics access to enter.
* Enter the exosuit and unlock the ID upload panel.
* Exit the exosuit.
* Use an ID card/PDA on exosuit and select "Edit operation keycodes".
B) '''DNA lock''':

DNA locking only allows the person matching the recorded Unique Enzymes (UE) to enter the mech.

This can be abused by Changelings and crafty Geneticists! Another downside is that you will be locked out if you swap bodies.
* Enter the exosuit and open the stats menu.
* Unter Permissions&Logging, click "DNA-lock".
* To remove the lock, hit "[ Reset ]" next to your DNA string under "DNA-locked:".
====Exosuit Damage and Repairs====
For external damage to the exosuit, simply use a welder on it. When a mech takes damage while its integrity is below a certain threshold, it has a chance to break internally. The reports for internal damage can be seen in the stats window.

'''Internal Fire:''' An internal fire will heat the air in the cabin and in the air tank, potentially causing a breach. It has a chance to fix itself if the life support system is functional.

'''Life Support System Malfunction:''' A malfunction in the life support system will prevent the mech from regulating the temperature brought into the cabin from the internal air tank. It can be fixed by using a screwdriver on it or with a repair droid.

'''Gas Tank Breach:''' A gas tank breach will cause the contents of the internal tank to be leaked into the environment. It can be fixed by using a welder on the mech if it also has external damage or with a repair droid.

'''Coordination System Calibration Failure:''' A failure in the coordination system will cause the mech to move randomly and can cause the mech to miss its targets. <s>It can be fixed by clicking "Recalibrate" in the damage report.</s>Due to a big it cannot be fixed

'''Short Circuit:''' A short circuit failure will cause the installed power cell to lose charge and damages it so that its maximum charge decreases. It also prevents repair droids and tesla relays from working. It can be repaired by using wires on the mech while its power unit hatch is open (see battery replacement steps).
====Exosuit Battery, Capacitor and Scanning Module Replacement====
{{Anchor|Exosuit Battery Replacement}}
# Make sure maintenance protocols are permitted (Permissions&Logging inside the mech).
# [[File:Id_regular.png]] Hit the exosuit with your ID card or PDA with ID inside and select "Initiate maintenance protocol".
# [[File:Wrench.png|Wrench]] Wrench

==Exosuit Equipment==
Various tools and weapons can be attached to exosuits, providng them with ability to perform different tasks. Exosuit equipment is built by Exosuit Fabricator ("Exosuit Equipment" menu).

To attach a tool or weapon, simply click with it on the exosuit.

HomerStanley: /* Buffers and Injectors - Saving Your Work and Handing Out Godhood */

{{Speech
|name=Ruth McVork
|text=Welcome to genetics, brother! Are you feeling good? You SHOULD feel good! You are now like unto a tiny god! Are you prepared to be what you were born to be? Are you ready to save the station (or totally fuck it up)?
''Chin up, buddy. It's not that hard. But before you start grabbing those monkeys from the pen, you should know the basics.
|image=[[File:Geneticist.png|64px|right]]
}}

== The Department ==
[[File:Genetics.png|thumb|240px|right]]
Welcome to [[Genetics]]. Just across the morgue lies a mystical realm where some of Nanotrasen's greatest minds entertain themselves by toying the Human Genome into knots.

The first thing you're going to see is that our department has two rooms. The first, the one you walk into as you enter from medbay, is the Cloning room. It has only one Cloning Console, one DNA Scanner, and one Cloning Pod. More on this later.

The second room is the one where you're going to spend the most of your time. This is where things get done, where people go to become hulking supermutants, where you are going to do your job. This room has two DNA Scanners and two DNA Scanner Access Consoles, along with two diskette boxes and a few lockers. The bio-hazard locker has pretty much what you expect it to have - a bio suit and bio hood. Useful if a disease breaks out. The diskettes are also extremely useful, as we will see later.

The third room has your test subjects! These monkeys are going to be your guinea pigs, you are going to experiment on them, and make them suffer quite a bit. It's pretty inhumane. But such is life, and after a few seconds, it will all be worth it. They actually have it pretty easy, it's better than getting gibbed and eaten.

This is going to be your home, buddy.

==[[File:scanner.gif|64px]][[File:Medcom.gif|64px]][[File:Clone.gif|64px]] Cloning ==
When you first hear about "cloning", you may think that people are referring to making many clones of yourself so you can take over the station. This is not the case (although that can be done too, just not exactly that way). Cloning is a process of of reviving someone who has died. For a cloning process we need a dead body and cloning equipment, which can be found in your Cloning Room.
# First of all, you have to know that for all things cloning, the [[Chief Medical Officer]] has a final say. He is your boss on this side of Genetics. If he tells you to clone someone and not some other guy, you do it. The only person with higher say than him on these matters is the Captain.
# On to the specifics! How does cloning work, you ask? Well, it's quite simple! Just '''grab or pull''' a body and stuff that puppy up '''in the [[DNA Scanner]] and close the door'''. If you want to remove someone from a Scanner, click on it to open the door. Unless the Scanner is locked, the person/monkey inside is going to pop right out.
# After the Scanner is already occupied, '''interact with the Cloning Console'''. You will see a few things. Now, the most important is the first. Click '''Scan''' to see if the person inside is actually not an empty husk! If they can be cloned scanning will succeed regardless of whether they're in their body or not. There are still a few possible errors - see the section on cloning errors for details.
# If scanning is successful, however, you will get a '''''Successful Scan'' -message'''. That means you now have that person's cloning data saved. You can use this record to steal their genetic data at any time, but cloning is more limited - if their last death happened after they got scanned, any attempts to clone using the record will fail.
# After you actually have DNA data from a person, '''click Check Records''', and then '''select the person who you want cloned'''. You will see a list of their UI+UE (Unique Identifiers + Unique Enzymes) and their SEs (Structural Enzymes), which are quite irrelevant. '''Click Clone'''. You will notice that the Cloning Pod is now fully active, with a shadow inside. That is the new body. You can now '''take the old corpse out of the DNA Scanner''', '''strip it completely''' so the cloned person can have their stuff back, and '''place the old corpse in the morgue'''. You don't have to worry about it anymore.
# The cloning process takes from 2 to 3 minutes. For whoever is getting cloned, it seems like a very long time. But it's not long for you. While the guy is getting his new body set up, take his '''belongings and stuff them all in the locker''' right by the cloning pod, so their stuff isn't scattered all over. Plus, cloning the captain and leaving his ID and other secure items on the floor sure is bad.
#* '''Aborted cloning:''' Use this as [[traitor]] to screw with that assistant who talked smack to you earlier. During the cloning process, it is possible to eject the incomplete clone by unlocking the Cloning Pod with your ID and ejecting the unfinished clone (needs to be >40% done) or by getting an Engineer to unlock the Genetics APC so you can shut off the power temporarily, which also causes the clone to (instantly, no matter how done) eject. This will usually clone people without limbs or vital organs, making them die quickly.
# The cloned people often have cellular damage. If so, take them to cryo to fix it.
# After the pod is empty, feel free to '''clone your next patient''', and to let the old one out, since they most likely don't have clearance to open the door.
# If R&D has been doing their job, they might upgrade the cloner to a level where it can autoprocess. If this is the case, you only have to press the Autoprocess button on top of the window, and the cloner will scan automatically. This is useful to process a large pile of bodies quickly - scan them one at a time, and autoprocess will do the rest.
=== [[File:Husk.png|64px|OH GOD OH FUCK]] Hark! A Husk! ===
So you've come across a [[husk]] (a gray, dead guy) on your floor, which means you can't clone that poor sod without upgrades. Before you go throwing that body in the morgue, they can still be helped!
# First off, make sure it's a husk. Throw the body into a DNA Scanner, if it says ''Subject no longer contains the fundamental materials required to create a living clone'', then you have yourself a husk (if your DNA Scanner had been [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#DNA_Scanner|updated]] to the max by the Scientists, you could clone the husk right now. So if you know they've been doing their R&D, ask them).
# Take the body down to [[Surgery]].
# Pester the CMO or a Medical Doctor to extract the brain, or do it yourself.
# Put the brain in the DNA scanner like you would a body.
If all goes well then your cadaver will be reborn!
=== Helping the Headless ===
Sometimes you'll find corpses whose head is separated from their body. Thanks to the marvels of modern science, this is not a problem!
#If you have a head or a brain, just chuck it in the cloner as normal! To clone a head or brain you must throw it into the cloner by activating throw with '''R''' and then clicking. Then click the cloner to close it.
#If you don't have the head, but you have the body, not all hope is lost: take a blood sample and give it to the botanist to make a replica pod, and the deceased guy will be reborn as a podperson!
#If you have neither, he's dead for good.
===Cloning Plasmamen===
If the patient is a [[plasmaman]], cloning them will be complicated by the fact that the naked patient will burn in the station's atmosphere. This can be dealt with by using showers to keep the patient from catching fire, then dressing them in a plasma envirosuit.
# Put plasmaman into cloning scanner
# Scan them, start the cloning process
# Drag their dead body to cloning pod
# Undress them and leave their clothes in a pile
# Turn on shower near cloning pod
# Once they pop out of cloner, put them under shower and wait for them to dress up
If the patient is a naked or beheaded plasmaman, follow these additional steps:
# Once they pop out of cloner, put them under shower and feed them a few [[Guide_to_chemistry#Salbutamol|Salbutamol]] pills (if available), or if desperate, keep a syringe of [[Guide_to_chemistry#Perfluorodecalin|Perfluorodecalin]] ready in case you need it. Plasmamen suffocate if they don't have plasma to breathe!
# Yell at [[Supply_crates|cargo]] to order plasmaman supplies. In the meantime, bug Engineering/Atmos for a filled plasma tank.
===Empty Cloning===
Cloners have the option to "Empty Clone" a record, creating a mindless replica of a person. To complement this function, cloners can do Body-Only scans, which can be used to create empty clones but not real clones, and bypass the sentience restrictions that ordinary scans have. These body-only entries can be deleted without requiring access.

Your boss here is no longer the [[Chief Medical Officer]]. Do not feel forced to listen to his orders, except when it comes to cloning. Regarding the research, listen to direct orders from the [[Research Director]] as well as the [[Captain]]. For security reasons allow NO ONE ELSE in the Modification room. Simple as that.

Now, let's get you acquainted with the DNA Scanner Access Consoles next to the monkeys. It has a few things of note. First of all, you're going to notice two clickable lines:
* ''Unique Identifiers (UI)''
* ''Genetic Sequence (GS)''
You might ask yourself: What does this mean?
* Unique Enzymes = just what identify who you are, your name. Even if you change them, it will have no effect. What does change stuff is you transfering them from one person to another, effectively changing their name.
* Unique Identifiers = merely your cosmetic details - eye color, skin color, hair style, hair color and gender. You don't really have to mess with any of these, and they are quite unimportant.
* '''Genetic Sequence = extremely important!''' They contain data relevant to your genetic structure. This governs your race, and messing with it carelessly might give you disabilities. For those that handle genes with care, however, great benefits are to be had.
T C C T G C A A

A G G A C G T T

A mutation might look something like this. Not exactly, since size varies and there's usually blocks replaced with X's

=== Genetic Sequence - Powers, Disabilities & Species ===
There are '''four''' blocks. Every one of those letters in the boxes are connected. '''A goes with T, and G goes with C.''' Order does not matter.

Mutations are the same across people with the sole difference being the X's. If all the little slots are filled with the correct AT, TA, GC and CG pairs, the mutation is activated. If this is not the case, it's deactivated. One might want to disable the monkey mutation by replacing one of the healthy pairs with an X.

The more difficult mutations will have a lot of unknown pairs. You cannot just randomly enter A-T, since it's predetermined what it's supposed to be. Knowing all this, you could whip out the genetic scanner in your pocket and see if someone has just the right pairs where there would be X's otherwise.

=== [[File:DNA Injector.png|64px]] Buffers and Injectors - Saving Your Work and Handing Out Godhood ===
* You may've noticed the buffers on someone's enzymes. Good, those are boring and are for appearance. Now let's move on to what you want to know

* Want to save a mutation? Hit ''store'' to save it to the mutations tab!

* Want to give someone a cool mutation you discovered? Print an activator! They're biologicly <s>safe</s> safer. Injecting this into someone will instantly give them that mutation! Unless they don't have it in their genetic sequence.

* Want to give someone a cool mutation they can't have? Sacrafice some of their useless genetic stability and give it to them anyway! What's the worst that can happen? <s> violent death </s>

* The DNA Scanner Access Console takes ten seconds to recharge after producing an injector.
* Because of injectors, Geneticists are usually '''asked to give people superpowers'''. This is best judged by the Research Director, who is in charge of the research. If you want to be like Marvel and give everyone superpowers, be ready for Security Officers knocking on your door because nothing gets the station down like a herd of assistants with Hulk. So be ready to say "no" a lot. Usually the Geneticists are allowed to have powers, but note that if you run around the station while being a hulk, you're probably going to get a lot of attention from the security and be the prime suspect if (when) anything happens. Don't go on a killing/destroying rampage if you're a hulk, it is a bannable offense. ''Note: Admins have confirmed that if people inject themselves with a needle they found lying around that says "Godhood" on it without even asking what is in it, you will NOT get punished by turning them into monkeys. Wink wink. Just make sure to answer truthfully if asked, and not to inject it yourself. If people are stupid enough to inject themselves with unknown content, let them.''
=== Manhandling Genes! ===
This guide here shows you step by step how to find the powers from the mysterious blocks!

Genes are distorted and twisted by shooting them with radiation. This can be done with the DNA Scanner Access Console and the computer in your lab.
==== First Steps ====
This guide will start with using a monkey, because they're in the pen for a reason.
* Start by taking a '''monkey''' from the pen.

* Shove them into a '''DNA Scanner''' next to the pen.

* Check the '''computer''' next to it, you'll see a bunch of information. Find ''Genetic Sequence'' and try to not confuse them with the other enzyme blocks above.
All mutations are randomized so no one really has any idea what they got in store
==== Humanizing a Monkey ====
Always humanize your monkey first, or their powers wont work.'''
# You and your buddy share the mutations you've discovered, work togheter to discover them all
# Scroll through the mutations and find monkey. Then change a random pair and you're donzo.
# When you get it, you'll see the name on the top has changed from "monkey" to a randomly generated name. Congratulations, you've got your very own monkey-person!
# If for any reason you got yourself some bad mutations and have no one to remove them, grab the [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mutadone|mutadone]] pill bottle in your lab. You usually have several 50u pills available, which is overkill. Dissolve a pill by pouring a tiny amount of water into a beaker (by using the beaker on a sink once), then drop a pill of [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mutadone|mutadone]] into it and take a sip. It should instantly clear all your mutations, unless your mutations have [[#Chromosome_21|reinforcement chromosomes]].
# [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mutadone|Mutadone]] will also clear the "monkified" mutation from monkeys, instantly turning them human. Use a dropper set to 1u to squirt dissolved [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mutadone|mutadone]] into the eyes of monkeys to mass humanize them without needing any machinery.
==== Manifesting Mutations ====
Back to business! Now we'll try to make a mutation show itself to us:
# Find a mutation that has broken pairs.
# Start filling in the X's. This is fairly easy since most of them are connected to an A, T, G or C. So X-T would be A-T.
# You will often find X-X pairs. Make sure the rest is fixed first and then guess it. There's 4 possibilities. AT, TA, GC and CG.
# If there's more than 2 double X-pairs, consider using the JOKER, which lets you finish a pair (on a long cooldown) or going out and scanning some people and see if they have the missing pairs.
# If it didn't work, you may've messed up somewhere. Double check. Also make sure they're not still a monkey. If all else fails, move on to another mutation or scramble their DNA.
==== Against the Radiation ====
All that radiation pulsing is not healthy.
* At some point it may be a good idea to visit '''[[Chemistry]]''' or the medivent, and get some '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Potassium_Iodide|Potassium Iodide]]''' for your genetic testing. It's a very useful chem, as it lowers low radiation levels quickly.

*'''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Pentetic_Acid|Pentetic Acid]]''' works very well against both rads and toxin damage.
==== Genetic Instability ====
When you manifest a power, you may get a message like "It feels like your skin is moving." This is telling you that your genetic instability has gotten higher, and you'll need to be careful not to add too many more powers. All humans can withstand up to '''99 genetic instability''' before they start to bubble and melt. 100 instability would be too much. What happens when you suffer from a genetic meltdown is random and unpredictable. Negative mutations generally don't give you instability, but powers do. As a rule of thumb, the stronger the power, the more instability it gives. Choose your powers wisely.
==== What to do with your powers ====
* Save your power buffer in a disk, as a backup. There's always the risk of someone overwriting them for random reasons.
* Make injectors to give to <s>the greytide</s>heads of staff or security. You can also sell them for money!
* Enjoy being the peak of human evolution! Use your powers for the greater good, or to make security's life hell by breaking down walls to high security areas and by being unstunnable. Remember that hulks are nonhuman to the AI, though, and that when security can't stun someone they'll pass directly to lethals.
==== Chromosome 21 ====
Every time you successfully use an ACTIVATOR on another person, the activator becomes filled with genetic data. Recycle/use it on your DNA console to gain a random chromosome from it. The chromosome either appears as an item on top of the DNA console, or it gets stored in its "mutations" tab. Up to 5 chromosomes can be stored in a single DNA console. Clicking on the last chromosome in the ''mutations'' tab will eject it into its physical form. Physical chromosomes can only be used by inserting them into a DNA console. 
Each active mutation in a person has a single chromosome slot. You can only add chromosomes to people who are inside the connected DNA scanner. Do so by opening the ''Genetic Sequencer'' tab. Then click anactive mutation, or [[#Manifesting_Mutations|find one]] if none is active yet. You should see the line ''Chromosome status:'' and a clickable "----"-button. Click that button. If that mutation is compatible with any of the currently stored chromosomes, you will get a list where you can select that chromosome. Select it, and you have now filled that mutation's chromosome slot. To delete the chromosome from that slot, you can deactivate and reactivate the mutation by turning any letter to X and then back. 
After you have added a chromosome to a mutation, you can ''store'' it to the ''mutations'' tab as normal (by clicking ''store'' in the ''Genetic Sequencer'' tab). Mutations from mutators/activators printed from this stored entry will then contain that chromosome.

These are the currently available chromosomes you can get:
* '''Synchronizer''': Gives the mind more control over the mutation, reducing some downsides by 50%.
* '''Stabilizer''': The rarest chromosome. Reduces instability gained from the mutation by 20%.
* '''Power''': Boosts strength of certain mutations. Experiment with super sneeze or even deadlier fireballs!
* '''Energetic''': Reduces cooldown on action based mutations.
* '''Reinforcement''': Makes the mutation immune to mutadone.
Chromosomes aren't supposed to be addable to mutations that won't benefit from them. For example, you can't use the energetic chromosome on the monkey mutation.
 Congratulations. If you read everything is this guide, you should now be a full-fledged Geneticist.
== The Gene Genie - The Traitorous Geneticist ==
Sorry for the bad chapter title. I wanted to use that for a very long time.

So, you learned how to do your job successfully, and how to be a credit to the station. You learned how to manipulate genes. Now you want to learn what the hell to do when the syndicate is the one writing your checks! Well, fret not! I will give you some pointers. But these are mostly tips - traitorous objectives differ wildly, and change your actions way too much for me to write a real guide on it.
=== Rev head ===
Simple. Flash colleagues. If the RD or the CMO come check on you, say you have a good set of powers, but the replicator is offline. Ask for him / her to strip and get in the Scanner. Lock him/her in, have your way with them, they can't leave nor can they talk. Let them enjoy their slow, painful death. If someone wants to clone the captain, that too is pretty simple. Just don't do it. As soon as the guy leaves, stuff the captain in a locker, take his stuff and call it a day. You could also eat until you get fat, transform people into monkeys and eat them. Fun for all. 
Another fun strategy is, if you managed to kill a head of staff, to copy their identity with a DNA scanner and apply it to yourself; impersonating a head of staff during a revolution is easy since they are usually exempt from implanting.
=== Traitor ===
Depends on your objective. If it's a hard one, like stealing the AI... well, you're fucked. Keep working on those powers! As soon as you have Hulk + TK, go for it as you wish. No tips here.

If your objective is a simple one, though, like stealing the hand tele, there are more approaches to this. As the above tip, you can just break the walls with TK Hulk, but that is rather crass. There's a more roundabout, but classier way to tackle this. Take a monkey from the pen, transform it into a human. Take its UI+UEs, make an injector, stuff it in your pocket with a label like "Clean Backup - Alexa White". Now get your own UI+UEs and name it "Clean Backup - Original" or something. Avoid using your name. Now, go hide somewhere close to the item's location, stick yourself with the monkey injector, spawn emag, stick ID and PDA in your backpack. For added stealth, get a different outfit. Emag your way to the captain's room, get his jumpsuit, RUN RUN RUN. The AI might see you, so it would also be good if you spawned an agent card so you can't be tracked. If anyone sees you, they're not going to see your actual name, only the humanized monkey's name. Hide, stick yourself with your own stuff, change clothes, walk away smoothly.

If you have to kill someone, same stuff from rev.

Also, never forget identity theft. Since you can take someone's complete identity, including looks, you can have some fun with that.
=== Wizard ===
Well... Stealth wizard? Several things you can do, mostly involving UI+UE stuff. Not worth it, really. One thing you can do is taking identities and belongings, but you have to expose yourself to mess with the console. Your choice.
=== Changeling ===
FUCKING REJOICE, your work is cut out for you! Have fun eating the lifeless corpses you clone. Keep in mind that transformations and transformation stings copy UI+UE. Turn people into horribly disabled freaks, or channel a lot of hulk-TK-xray-cold resisting supermen.

|name=Ruth McVork
|text=Welcome to genetics, brother! Are you feeling good? You SHOULD feel good! You are now like unto a tiny god! Are you prepared to be what you were born to be? Are you ready to save the station (or totally fuck it up)?
''Chin up, buddy. It's not that hard. But before you start grabbing those monkeys from the pen, you should know the basics.
|image=[[File:Geneticist.png|64px|right]]
}}

== The Department ==
[[File:Genetics.png|thumb|240px|right]]
Welcome to [[Genetics]]. Just across the morgue lies a mystical realm where some of Nanotrasen's greatest minds entertain themselves by toying the Human Genome into knots.

The first thing you're going to see is that our department has two rooms. The first, the one you walk into as you enter from medbay, is the Cloning room. It has only one Cloning Console, one DNA Scanner, and one Cloning Pod. More on this later.

The second room is the one where you're going to spend the most of your time. This is where things get done, where people go to become hulking supermutants, where you are going to do your job. This room has two DNA Scanners and two DNA Scanner Access Consoles, along with two diskette boxes and a few lockers. The bio-hazard locker has pretty much what you expect it to have - a bio suit and bio hood. Useful if a disease breaks out. The diskettes are also extremely useful, as we will see later.

The third room has your test subjects! These monkeys are going to be your guinea pigs, you are going to experiment on them, and make them suffer quite a bit. It's pretty inhumane. But such is life, and after a few seconds, it will all be worth it. They actually have it pretty easy, it's better than getting gibbed and eaten.

This is going to be your home, buddy.

==[[File:scanner.gif|64px]][[File:Medcom.gif|64px]][[File:Clone.gif|64px]] Cloning ==
When you first hear about "cloning", you may think that people are referring to making many clones of yourself so you can take over the station. This is not the case (although that can be done too, just not exactly that way). Cloning is a process of of reviving someone who has died. For a cloning process we need a dead body and cloning equipment, which can be found in your Cloning Room.
# First of all, you have to know that for all things cloning, the [[Chief Medical Officer]] has a final say. He is your boss on this side of Genetics. If he tells you to clone someone and not some other guy, you do it. The only person with higher say than him on these matters is the Captain.
# On to the specifics! How does cloning work, you ask? Well, it's quite simple! Just '''grab or pull''' a body and stuff that puppy up '''in the [[DNA Scanner]] and close the door'''. If you want to remove someone from a Scanner, click on it to open the door. Unless the Scanner is locked, the person/monkey inside is going to pop right out.
# After the Scanner is already occupied, '''interact with the Cloning Console'''. You will see a few things. Now, the most important is the first. Click '''Scan''' to see if the person inside is actually not an empty husk! If they can be cloned scanning will succeed regardless of whether they're in their body or not. There are still a few possible errors - see the section on cloning errors for details.
# If scanning is successful, however, you will get a '''''Successful Scan'' -message'''. That means you now have that person's cloning data saved. You can use this record to steal their genetic data at any time, but cloning is more limited - if their last death happened after they got scanned, any attempts to clone using the record will fail.
# After you actually have DNA data from a person, '''click Check Records''', and then '''select the person who you want cloned'''. You will see a list of their UI+UE (Unique Identifiers + Unique Enzymes) and their SEs (Structural Enzymes), which are quite irrelevant. '''Click Clone'''. You will notice that the Cloning Pod is now fully active, with a shadow inside. That is the new body. You can now '''take the old corpse out of the DNA Scanner''', '''strip it completely''' so the cloned person can have their stuff back, and '''place the old corpse in the morgue'''. You don't have to worry about it anymore.
# The cloning process takes from 2 to 3 minutes. For whoever is getting cloned, it seems like a very long time. But it's not long for you. While the guy is getting his new body set up, take his '''belongings and stuff them all in the locker''' right by the cloning pod, so their stuff isn't scattered all over. Plus, cloning the captain and leaving his ID and other secure items on the floor sure is bad.
#* '''Aborted cloning:''' Use this as [[traitor]] to screw with that assistant who talked smack to you earlier. During the cloning process, it is possible to eject the incomplete clone by unlocking the Cloning Pod with your ID and ejecting the unfinished clone (needs to be >40% done) or by getting an Engineer to unlock the Genetics APC so you can shut off the power temporarily, which also causes the clone to (instantly, no matter how done) eject. This will usually clone people without limbs or vital organs, making them die quickly.
# The cloned people often have cellular damage. If so, take them to cryo to fix it.
# After the pod is empty, feel free to '''clone your next patient''', and to let the old one out, since they most likely don't have clearance to open the door.
# If R&D has been doing their job, they might upgrade the cloner to a level where it can autoprocess. If this is the case, you only have to press the Autoprocess button on top of the window, and the cloner will scan automatically. This is useful to process a large pile of bodies quickly - scan them one at a time, and autoprocess will do the rest.
=== [[File:Husk.png|64px|OH GOD OH FUCK]] Hark! A Husk! ===
So you've come across a [[husk]] (a gray, dead guy) on your floor, which means you can't clone that poor sod without upgrades. Before you go throwing that body in the morgue, they can still be helped!
# First off, make sure it's a husk. Throw the body into a DNA Scanner, if it says ''Subject no longer contains the fundamental materials required to create a living clone'', then you have yourself a husk (if your DNA Scanner had been [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#DNA_Scanner|updated]] to the max by the Scientists, you could clone the husk right now. So if you know they've been doing their R&D, ask them).
# Take the body down to [[Surgery]].
# Pester the CMO or a Medical Doctor to extract the brain, or do it yourself.
# Put the brain in the DNA scanner like you would a body.
If all goes well then your cadaver will be reborn!
=== Helping the Headless ===
Sometimes you'll find corpses whose head is separated from their body. Thanks to the marvels of modern science, this is not a problem!
#If you have a head or a brain, just chuck it in the cloner as normal! To clone a head or brain you must throw it into the cloner by activating throw with '''R''' and then clicking. Then click the cloner to close it.
#If you don't have the head, but you have the body, not all hope is lost: take a blood sample and give it to the botanist to make a replica pod, and the deceased guy will be reborn as a podperson!
#If you have neither, he's dead for good.
===Cloning Plasmamen===
If the patient is a [[plasmaman]], cloning them will be complicated by the fact that the naked patient will burn in the station's atmosphere. This can be dealt with by using showers to keep the patient from catching fire, then dressing them in a plasma envirosuit.
# Put plasmaman into cloning scanner
# Scan them, start the cloning process
# Drag their dead body to cloning pod
# Undress them and leave their clothes in a pile
# Turn on shower near cloning pod
# Once they pop out of cloner, put them under shower and wait for them to dress up
If the patient is a naked or beheaded plasmaman, follow these additional steps:
# Once they pop out of cloner, put them under shower and feed them a few [[Guide_to_chemistry#Salbutamol|Salbutamol]] pills (if available), or if desperate, keep a syringe of [[Guide_to_chemistry#Perfluorodecalin|Perfluorodecalin]] ready in case you need it. Plasmamen suffocate if they don't have plasma to breathe!
# Yell at [[Supply_crates|cargo]] to order plasmaman supplies. In the meantime, bug Engineering/Atmos for a filled plasma tank.
===Empty Cloning===
Cloners have the option to "Empty Clone" a record, creating a mindless replica of a person. To complement this function, cloners can do Body-Only scans, which can be used to create empty clones but not real clones, and bypass the sentience restrictions that ordinary scans have. These body-only entries can be deleted without requiring access.
=== Why can't I clone this dude? ===

Keep in mind that patching up a corpse with Synthflesh and then reviving it with Strange Reagent bypasses a lot of these issues.
== [[File:scanner.gif|64px]][[File:Medcom.gif|64px]] DNA Modification ==
Your boss here is no longer the [[Chief Medical Officer]]. Do not feel forced to listen to his orders, except when it comes to cloning. Regarding the research, listen to direct orders from the [[Research Director]] as well as the [[Captain]]. For security reasons allow NO ONE ELSE in the Modification room. Simple as that.

Now, let's get you acquainted with the DNA Scanner Access Consoles next to the monkeys. It has a few things of note. First of all, you're going to notice two clickable lines:
* ''Unique Identifiers (UI)''
* ''Genetic Sequence (GS)''
You might ask yourself: What does this mean?
* Unique Enzymes = just what identify who you are, your name. Even if you change them, it will have no effect. What does change stuff is you transfering them from one person to another, effectively changing their name.
* Unique Identifiers = merely your cosmetic details - eye color, skin color, hair style, hair color and gender. You don't really have to mess with any of these, and they are quite unimportant.
* '''Genetic Sequence = extremely important!''' They contain data relevant to your genetic structure. This governs your race, and messing with it carelessly might give you disabilities. For those that handle genes with care, however, great benefits are to be had.
T C C T G C A A

A G G A C G T T

A mutation might look something like this. Not exactly, since size varies and there's usually blocks replaced with X's

=== Genetic Sequence - Powers, Disabilities & Species ===
There are '''four''' blocks. Every one of those letters in the boxes are connected. '''A goes with T, and G goes with C.''' Order does not matter.

Mutations are the same across people with the sole difference being the X's. If all the little slots are filled with the correct AT, TA, GC and CG pairs, the mutation is activated. If this is not the case, it's deactivated. One might want to disable the monkey mutation by replacing one of the healthy pairs with an X.

The more difficult mutations will have a lot of unknown pairs. You cannot just randomly enter A-T, since it's predetermined what it's supposed to be. Knowing all this, you could whip out the genetic scanner in your pocket and see if someone has just the right pairs where there would be X's otherwise.

If you want to be like Marvel and give everyone superpowers, be ready for Security Officers knocking on your door because nothing gets the station down like a herd of assistants with Hulk. So be ready to say "no" a lot. Usually the Geneticists are allowed to have powers, but note that if you run around the station while being a hulk, you're probably going to get a lot of attention from the security and be the prime suspect if (when) anything happens. Don't go on a killing/destroying rampage if you're a hulk, it is a bannable offense. ''Note: Admins have confirmed that if people inject themselves with a needle they found lying around that says "Godhood" on it without even asking what is in it, you will NOT get punished by turning them into monkeys. Wink wink. Just make sure to answer truthfully if asked, and not to inject it yourself. If people are stupid enough to inject themselves with unknown content, let them.''
=== Manhandling Genes! ===
This guide here shows you step by step how to find the powers from the mysterious blocks!

Genes are distorted and twisted by shooting them with radiation. This can be done with the DNA Scanner Access Console and the computer in your lab.
==== First Steps ====
This guide will start with using a monkey, because they're in the pen for a reason.
* Start by taking a '''monkey''' from the pen.

* Shove them into a '''DNA Scanner''' next to the pen.

* Check the '''computer''' next to it, you'll see a bunch of information. Find ''Genetic Sequence'' and try to not confuse them with the other enzyme blocks above.
All mutations are randomized so no one really has any idea what they got in store
==== Humanizing a Monkey ====
Always humanize your monkey first, or their powers wont work.'''
# You and your buddy share the mutations you've discovered, work togheter to discover them all
# Scroll through the mutations and find monkey. Then change a random pair and you're donzo.
# When you get it, you'll see the name on the top has changed from "monkey" to a randomly generated name. Congratulations, you've got your very own monkey-person!
# If for any reason you got yourself some bad mutations and have no one to remove them, grab the [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mutadone|mutadone]] pill bottle in your lab. You usually have several 50u pills available, which is overkill. Dissolve a pill by pouring a tiny amount of water into a beaker (by using the beaker on a sink once), then drop a pill of [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mutadone|mutadone]] into it and take a sip. It should instantly clear all your mutations, unless your mutations have [[#Chromosome_21|reinforcement chromosomes]].
# [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mutadone|Mutadone]] will also clear the "monkified" mutation from monkeys, instantly turning them human. Use a dropper set to 1u to squirt dissolved [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mutadone|mutadone]] into the eyes of monkeys to mass humanize them without needing any machinery.
==== Manifesting Mutations ====
Back to business! Now we'll try to make a mutation show itself to us:
# Find a mutation that has broken pairs.
# Start filling in the X's. This is fairly easy since most of them are connected to an A, T, G or C. So X-T would be A-T.
# You will often find X-X pairs. Make sure the rest is fixed first and then guess it. There's 4 possibilities. AT, TA, GC and CG.
# If there's more than 2 double X-pairs, consider using the JOKER, which lets you finish a pair (on a long cooldown) or going out and scanning some people and see if they have the missing pairs.
# If it didn't work, you may've messed up somewhere. Double check. Also make sure they're not still a monkey. If all else fails, move on to another mutation or scramble their DNA.
==== Against the Radiation ====
All that radiation pulsing is not healthy.
* At some point it may be a good idea to visit '''[[Chemistry]]''' or the medivent, and get some '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Potassium_Iodide|Potassium Iodide]]''' for your genetic testing. It's a very useful chem, as it lowers low radiation levels quickly.

*'''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Pentetic_Acid|Pentetic Acid]]''' works very well against both rads and toxin damage.
==== Genetic Instability ====
When you manifest a power, you may get a message like "It feels like your skin is moving." This is telling you that your genetic instability has gotten higher, and you'll need to be careful not to add too many more powers. All humans can withstand up to '''99 genetic instability''' before they start to bubble and melt. 100 instability would be too much. What happens when you suffer from a genetic meltdown is random and unpredictable. Negative mutations generally don't give you instability, but powers do. As a rule of thumb, the stronger the power, the more instability it gives. Choose your powers wisely.
==== What to do with your powers ====
* Save your power buffer in a disk, as a backup. There's always the risk of someone overwriting them for random reasons.
* Make injectors to give to <s>the greytide</s>heads of staff or security. You can also sell them for money!
* Enjoy being the peak of human evolution! Use your powers for the greater good, or to make security's life hell by breaking down walls to high security areas and by being unstunnable. Remember that hulks are nonhuman to the AI, though, and that when security can't stun someone they'll pass directly to lethals.
==== Chromosome 21 ====
Every time you successfully use an ACTIVATOR on another person, the activator becomes filled with genetic data. Recycle/use it on your DNA console to gain a random chromosome from it. The chromosome either appears as an item on top of the DNA console, or it gets stored in its "mutations" tab. Up to 5 chromosomes can be stored in a single DNA console. Clicking on the last chromosome in the ''mutations'' tab will eject it into its physical form. Physical chromosomes can only be used by inserting them into a DNA console. 
Each active mutation in a person has a single chromosome slot. You can only add chromosomes to people who are inside the connected DNA scanner. Do so by opening the ''Genetic Sequencer'' tab. Then click anactive mutation, or [[#Manifesting_Mutations|find one]] if none is active yet. You should see the line ''Chromosome status:'' and a clickable "----"-button. Click that button. If that mutation is compatible with any of the currently stored chromosomes, you will get a list where you can select that chromosome. Select it, and you have now filled that mutation's chromosome slot. To delete the chromosome from that slot, you can deactivate and reactivate the mutation by turning any letter to X and then back. 
After you have added a chromosome to a mutation, you can ''store'' it to the ''mutations'' tab as normal (by clicking ''store'' in the ''Genetic Sequencer'' tab). Mutations from mutators/activators printed from this stored entry will then contain that chromosome.

These are the currently available chromosomes you can get:
* '''Synchronizer''': Gives the mind more control over the mutation, reducing some downsides by 50%.
* '''Stabilizer''': The rarest chromosome. Reduces instability gained from the mutation by 20%.
* '''Power''': Boosts strength of certain mutations. Experiment with super sneeze or even deadlier fireballs!
* '''Energetic''': Reduces cooldown on action based mutations.
* '''Reinforcement''': Makes the mutation immune to mutadone.
Chromosomes aren't supposed to be addable to mutations that won't benefit from them. For example, you can't use the energetic chromosome on the monkey mutation.
 Congratulations. If you read everything is this guide, you should now be a full-fledged Geneticist.
== The Gene Genie - The Traitorous Geneticist ==
Sorry for the bad chapter title. I wanted to use that for a very long time.

So, you learned how to do your job successfully, and how to be a credit to the station. You learned how to manipulate genes. Now you want to learn what the hell to do when the syndicate is the one writing your checks! Well, fret not! I will give you some pointers. But these are mostly tips - traitorous objectives differ wildly, and change your actions way too much for me to write a real guide on it.
=== Rev head ===
Simple. Flash colleagues. If the RD or the CMO come check on you, say you have a good set of powers, but the replicator is offline. Ask for him / her to strip and get in the Scanner. Lock him/her in, have your way with them, they can't leave nor can they talk. Let them enjoy their slow, painful death. If someone wants to clone the captain, that too is pretty simple. Just don't do it. As soon as the guy leaves, stuff the captain in a locker, take his stuff and call it a day. You could also eat until you get fat, transform people into monkeys and eat them. Fun for all. 
Another fun strategy is, if you managed to kill a head of staff, to copy their identity with a DNA scanner and apply it to yourself; impersonating a head of staff during a revolution is easy since they are usually exempt from implanting.
=== Traitor ===
Depends on your objective. If it's a hard one, like stealing the AI... well, you're fucked. Keep working on those powers! As soon as you have Hulk + TK, go for it as you wish. No tips here.

If your objective is a simple one, though, like stealing the hand tele, there are more approaches to this. As the above tip, you can just break the walls with TK Hulk, but that is rather crass. There's a more roundabout, but classier way to tackle this. Take a monkey from the pen, transform it into a human. Take its UI+UEs, make an injector, stuff it in your pocket with a label like "Clean Backup - Alexa White". Now get your own UI+UEs and name it "Clean Backup - Original" or something. Avoid using your name. Now, go hide somewhere close to the item's location, stick yourself with the monkey injector, spawn emag, stick ID and PDA in your backpack. For added stealth, get a different outfit. Emag your way to the captain's room, get his jumpsuit, RUN RUN RUN. The AI might see you, so it would also be good if you spawned an agent card so you can't be tracked. If anyone sees you, they're not going to see your actual name, only the humanized monkey's name. Hide, stick yourself with your own stuff, change clothes, walk away smoothly.

If you have to kill someone, same stuff from rev.

Also, never forget identity theft. Since you can take someone's complete identity, including looks, you can have some fun with that.
=== Wizard ===
Well... Stealth wizard? Several things you can do, mostly involving UI+UE stuff. Not worth it, really. One thing you can do is taking identities and belongings, but you have to expose yourself to mess with the console. Your choice.
=== Changeling ===
FUCKING REJOICE, your work is cut out for you! Have fun eating the lifeless corpses you clone. Keep in mind that transformations and transformation stings copy UI+UE. Turn people into horribly disabled freaks, or channel a lot of hulk-TK-xray-cold resisting supermen.

HomerStanley: /* The Department */

{{Speech
|name=Ruth McVork
|text=Welcome to genetics, brother! Are you feeling good? You SHOULD feel good! You are now like unto a tiny god! Are you prepared to be what you were born to be? Are you ready to save the station (or totally fuck it up)?
''Chin up, buddy. It's not that hard. But before you start grabbing those monkeys from the pen, you should know the basics.
|image=[[File:Geneticist.png|64px|right]]
}}

== The Department ==
[[File:Genetics.png|thumb|240px|right]]
Welcome to [[Genetics]]. Just across the morgue lies a mystical realm where some of Nanotrasen's greatest minds entertain themselves by toying the Human Genome into knots.

The first thing you're going to see is that our department has two rooms. The first, the one you walk into as you enter from medbay, is the Cloning room. It has only one Cloning Console, one DNA Scanner, and one Cloning Pod. More on this later.

The second room is the one where you're going to spend the most of your time. This is where things get done, where people go to become hulking supermutants, where you are going to do your job. This room has two DNA Scanners and two DNA Scanner Access Consoles, along with two diskette boxes and a few lockers. The bio-hazard locker has pretty much what you expect it to have - a bio suit and bio hood. Useful if a disease breaks out. The diskettes are also extremely useful, as we will see later.

The third room has your test subjects! These monkeys are going to be your guinea pigs, you are going to experiment on them, and make them suffer quite a bit. It's pretty inhumane. But such is life, and after a few seconds, it will all be worth it. They actually have it pretty easy, it's better than getting gibbed and eaten.

This is going to be your home, buddy.

==[[File:scanner.gif|64px]][[File:Medcom.gif|64px]][[File:Clone.gif|64px]] Cloning ==
When you first hear about "cloning", you may think that people are referring to making many clones of yourself so you can take over the station. This is not the case (although that can be done too, just not exactly that way). Cloning is a process of of reviving someone who has died. For a cloning process we need a dead body and cloning equipment, which can be found in your Cloning Room.
# First of all, you have to know that for all things cloning, the [[Chief Medical Officer]] has a final say. He is your boss on this side of Genetics. If he tells you to clone someone and not some other guy, you do it. The only person with higher say than him on these matters is the Captain.
# On to the specifics! How does cloning work, you ask? Well, it's quite simple! Just '''grab or pull''' a body and stuff that puppy up '''in the [[DNA Scanner]] and close the door'''. If you want to remove someone from a Scanner, click on it to open the door. Unless the Scanner is locked, the person/monkey inside is going to pop right out.
# After the Scanner is already occupied, '''interact with the Cloning Console'''. You will see a few things. Now, the most important is the first. Click '''Scan''' to see if the person inside is actually not an empty husk! If they can be cloned scanning will succeed regardless of whether they're in their body or not. There are still a few possible errors - see the section on cloning errors for details.
# If scanning is successful, however, you will get a '''''Successful Scan'' -message'''. That means you now have that person's cloning data saved. You can use this record to steal their genetic data at any time, but cloning is more limited - if their last death happened after they got scanned, any attempts to clone using the record will fail.
# After you actually have DNA data from a person, '''click Check Records''', and then '''select the person who you want cloned'''. You will see a list of their UI+UE (Unique Identifiers + Unique Enzymes) and their SEs (Structural Enzymes), which are quite irrelevant. '''Click Clone'''. You will notice that the Cloning Pod is now fully active, with a shadow inside. That is the new body. You can now '''take the old corpse out of the DNA Scanner''', '''strip it completely''' so the cloned person can have their stuff back, and '''place the old corpse in the morgue'''. You don't have to worry about it anymore.
# The cloning process takes from 2 to 3 minutes. For whoever is getting cloned, it seems like a very long time. But it's not long for you. While the guy is getting his new body set up, take his '''belongings and stuff them all in the locker''' right by the cloning pod, so their stuff isn't scattered all over. Plus, cloning the captain and leaving his ID and other secure items on the floor sure is bad.
#* '''Aborted cloning:''' Use this as [[traitor]] to screw with that assistant who talked smack to you earlier. During the cloning process, it is possible to eject the incomplete clone by unlocking the Cloning Pod with your ID and ejecting the unfinished clone (needs to be >40% done) or by getting an Engineer to unlock the Genetics APC so you can shut off the power temporarily, which also causes the clone to (instantly, no matter how done) eject. This will usually clone people without limbs or vital organs, making them die quickly.
# The cloned people often have cellular damage. If so, take them to cryo to fix it.
# After the pod is empty, feel free to '''clone your next patient''', and to let the old one out, since they most likely don't have clearance to open the door.
# If R&D has been doing their job, they might upgrade the cloner to a level where it can autoprocess. If this is the case, you only have to press the Autoprocess button on top of the window, and the cloner will scan automatically. This is useful to process a large pile of bodies quickly - scan them one at a time, and autoprocess will do the rest.
=== [[File:Husk.png|64px|OH GOD OH FUCK]] Hark! A Husk! ===
So you've come across a [[husk]] (a gray, dead guy) on your floor, which means you can't clone that poor sod without upgrades. Before you go throwing that body in the morgue, they can still be helped!
# First off, make sure it's a husk. Throw the body into a DNA Scanner, if it says ''Subject no longer contains the fundamental materials required to create a living clone'', then you have yourself a husk (if your DNA Scanner had been [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#DNA_Scanner|updated]] to the max by the Scientists, you could clone the husk right now. So if you know they've been doing their R&D, ask them).
# Take the body down to [[Surgery]].
# Pester the CMO or a Medical Doctor to extract the brain, or do it yourself.
# Put the brain in the DNA scanner like you would a body.
If all goes well then your cadaver will be reborn!
=== Helping the Headless ===
Sometimes you'll find corpses whose head is separated from their body. Thanks to the marvels of modern science, this is not a problem!
#If you have a head or a brain, just chuck it in the cloner as normal! To clone a head or brain you must throw it into the cloner by activating throw with '''R''' and then clicking. Then click the cloner to close it.
#If you don't have the head, but you have the body, not all hope is lost: take a blood sample and give it to the botanist to make a replica pod, and the deceased guy will be reborn as a podperson!
#If you have neither, he's dead for good.
===Cloning Plasmamen===
If the patient is a [[plasmaman]], cloning them will be complicated by the fact that the naked patient will burn in the station's atmosphere. This can be dealt with by using showers to keep the patient from catching fire, then dressing them in a plasma envirosuit.
# Put plasmaman into cloning scanner
# Scan them, start the cloning process
# Drag their dead body to cloning pod
# Undress them and leave their clothes in a pile
# Turn on shower near cloning pod
# Once they pop out of cloner, put them under shower and wait for them to dress up
If the patient is a naked or beheaded plasmaman, follow these additional steps:
# Once they pop out of cloner, put them under shower and feed them a few [[Guide_to_chemistry#Salbutamol|Salbutamol]] pills (if available), or if desperate, keep a syringe of [[Guide_to_chemistry#Perfluorodecalin|Perfluorodecalin]] ready in case you need it. Plasmamen suffocate if they don't have plasma to breathe!
# Yell at [[Supply_crates|cargo]] to order plasmaman supplies. In the meantime, bug Engineering/Atmos for a filled plasma tank.
===Empty Cloning===
Cloners have the option to "Empty Clone" a record, creating a mindless replica of a person. To complement this function, cloners can do Body-Only scans, which can be used to create empty clones but not real clones, and bypass the sentience restrictions that ordinary scans have. These body-only entries can be deleted without requiring access.
=== Why can't I clone this dude? ===

Keep in mind that patching up a corpse with Synthflesh and then reviving it with Strange Reagent bypasses a lot of these issues.
== [[File:scanner.gif|64px]][[File:Medcom.gif|64px]] DNA Modification ==
Your boss here is no longer the [[Chief Medical Officer]]. Do not feel forced to listen to his orders, except when it comes to cloning. Regarding the research, listen to direct orders from the [[Research Director]] as well as the [[Captain]]. For security reasons allow NO ONE ELSE in the Modification room. Simple as that.

Now, let's get you acquainted with the DNA Scanner Access Consoles next to the monkeys. It has a few things of note. First of all, you're going to notice two clickable lines:
* ''Unique Identifiers (UI)''
* ''Genetic Sequence (GS)''
You might ask yourself: What does this mean?
* Unique Enzymes = just what identify who you are, your name. Even if you change them, it will have no effect. What does change stuff is you transfering them from one person to another, effectively changing their name.
* Unique Identifiers = merely your cosmetic details - eye color, skin color, hair style, hair color and gender. You don't really have to mess with any of these, and they are quite unimportant.
* '''Genetic Sequence = extremely important!''' They contain data relevant to your genetic structure. This governs your race, and messing with it carelessly might give you disabilities. For those that handle genes with care, however, great benefits are to be had.
T C C T G C A A

A G G A C G T T

A mutation might look something like this. Not exactly, since size varies and there's usually blocks replaced with X's

=== Genetic Sequence - Powers, Disabilities & Species ===
There are '''four''' blocks. Every one of those letters in the boxes are connected. '''A goes with T, and G goes with C.''' Order does not matter.

Mutations are the same across people with the sole difference being the X's. If all the little slots are filled with the correct AT, TA, GC and CG pairs, the mutation is activated. If this is not the case, it's deactivated. One might want to disable the monkey mutation by replacing one of the healthy pairs with an X.

The more difficult mutations will have a lot of unknown pairs. You cannot just randomly enter A-T, since it's predetermined what it's supposed to be. Knowing all this, you could whip out the genetic scanner in your pocket and see if someone has just the right pairs where there would be X's otherwise.

Before we start splicing, you must know what possible monstrosities can be done to a human.

=== [[File:DNA Injector.png|64px]] Buffers and Injectors - Saving Your Work and Handing Out Godhood ===
* You may've noticed the buffers on someones enzymes. Good, those are boring and are for appearance. Now let's move on to what you want to know

* Want to save a mutation? Hit ''store'' to save it to the mutations tab!

* Want to give someone a cool mutation you discovered? Print an activator! They're biologicly <s>safe</s> safer. Injecting this into someone will instantly give them that mutation! Unless they don't have it in their genetic sequence.

* Want to give someone a cool mutation they can't have? Sacrafice some of their useless genetic stability and give it to them anyway! What's the worst that can happen? <s> violent death </s>

* The DNA Scanner Access Console takes ten seconds to recharge after producing an injector.
* Because of injectors, Geneticists are usually '''asked to give people superpowers'''. This is best judged by the Research Director, who is in charge of the research. If you want to be like Marvel and give everyone superpowers, be ready for Security Officers knocking on your door because nothing gets the station down like a herd of assistants with Hulk. So be ready to say "no" a lot. Usually the Geneticists are allowed to have powers, but note that if you run around the station while being a hulk, you're probably going to get a lot of attention from the security and be the prime suspect if (when) anything happens. Don't go on a killing/destroying rampage if you're a hulk, it is a bannable offense. ''Note: Admins have confirmed that if people inject themselves with a needle they found lying around that says "Godhood" on it without even asking what is in it, you will NOT get punished by turning them into monkeys. Wink wink. Just make sure to answer truthfully if asked, and not to inject it yourself. If people are stupid enough to inject themselves with unknown content, let them.''
=== Manhandling Genes! ===
This guide here shows you step by step how to find the powers from the mysterious blocks!

Genes are distorted and twisted by shooting them with radiation. This can be done with the DNA Scanner Access Console and the computer in your lab.
==== First Steps ====
This guide will start with using a monkey, because they're in the pen for a reason.
* Start by taking a '''monkey''' from the pen.

* Shove them into a '''DNA Scanner''' next to the pen.

* Check the '''computer''' next to it, you'll see a bunch of information. Find ''Genetic Sequence'' and try to not confuse them with the other enzyme blocks above.
All mutations are randomized so no one really has any idea what they got in store
==== Humanizing a Monkey ====
Always humanize your monkey first, or their powers wont work.'''
# You and your buddy share the mutations you've discovered, work togheter to discover them all
# Scroll through the mutations and find monkey. Then change a random pair and you're donzo.
# When you get it, you'll see the name on the top has changed from "monkey" to a randomly generated name. Congratulations, you've got your very own monkey-person!
# If for any reason you got yourself some bad mutations and have no one to remove them, grab the [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mutadone|mutadone]] pill bottle in your lab. You usually have several 50u pills available, which is overkill. Dissolve a pill by pouring a tiny amount of water into a beaker (by using the beaker on a sink once), then drop a pill of [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mutadone|mutadone]] into it and take a sip. It should instantly clear all your mutations, unless your mutations have [[#Chromosome_21|reinforcement chromosomes]].
# [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mutadone|Mutadone]] will also clear the "monkified" mutation from monkeys, instantly turning them human. Use a dropper set to 1u to squirt dissolved [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mutadone|mutadone]] into the eyes of monkeys to mass humanize them without needing any machinery.
==== Manifesting Mutations ====
Back to business! Now we'll try to make a mutation show itself to us:
# Find a mutation that has broken pairs.
# Start filling in the X's. This is fairly easy since most of them are connected to an A, T, G or C. So X-T would be A-T.
# You will often find X-X pairs. Make sure the rest is fixed first and then guess it. There's 4 possibilities. AT, TA, GC and CG.
# If there's more than 2 double X-pairs, consider using the JOKER, which lets you finish a pair (on a long cooldown) or going out and scanning some people and see if they have the missing pairs.
# If it didn't work, you may've messed up somewhere. Double check. Also make sure they're not still a monkey. If all else fails, move on to another mutation or scramble their DNA.
==== Against the Radiation ====
All that radiation pulsing is not healthy.
* At some point it may be a good idea to visit '''[[Chemistry]]''' or the medivent, and get some '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Potassium_Iodide|Potassium Iodide]]''' for your genetic testing. It's a very useful chem, as it lowers low radiation levels quickly.

*'''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Pentetic_Acid|Pentetic Acid]]''' works very well against both rads and toxin damage.
==== Genetic Instability ====
When you manifest a power, you may get a message like "It feels like your skin is moving." This is telling you that your genetic instability has gotten higher, and you'll need to be careful not to add too many more powers. All humans can withstand up to '''99 genetic instability''' before they start to bubble and melt. 100 instability would be too much. What happens when you suffer from a genetic meltdown is random and unpredictable. Negative mutations generally don't give you instability, but powers do. As a rule of thumb, the stronger the power, the more instability it gives. Choose your powers wisely.
==== What to do with your powers ====
* Save your power buffer in a disk, as a backup. There's always the risk of someone overwriting them for random reasons.
* Make injectors to give to <s>the greytide</s>heads of staff or security. You can also sell them for money!
* Enjoy being the peak of human evolution! Use your powers for the greater good, or to make security's life hell by breaking down walls to high security areas and by being unstunnable. Remember that hulks are nonhuman to the AI, though, and that when security can't stun someone they'll pass directly to lethals.
==== Chromosome 21 ====
Every time you successfully use an ACTIVATOR on another person, the activator becomes filled with genetic data. Recycle/use it on your DNA console to gain a random chromosome from it. The chromosome either appears as an item on top of the DNA console, or it gets stored in its "mutations" tab. Up to 5 chromosomes can be stored in a single DNA console. Clicking on the last chromosome in the ''mutations'' tab will eject it into its physical form. Physical chromosomes can only be used by inserting them into a DNA console. 
Each active mutation in a person has a single chromosome slot. You can only add chromosomes to people who are inside the connected DNA scanner. Do so by opening the ''Genetic Sequencer'' tab. Then click anactive mutation, or [[#Manifesting_Mutations|find one]] if none is active yet. You should see the line ''Chromosome status:'' and a clickable "----"-button. Click that button. If that mutation is compatible with any of the currently stored chromosomes, you will get a list where you can select that chromosome. Select it, and you have now filled that mutation's chromosome slot. To delete the chromosome from that slot, you can deactivate and reactivate the mutation by turning any letter to X and then back. 
After you have added a chromosome to a mutation, you can ''store'' it to the ''mutations'' tab as normal (by clicking ''store'' in the ''Genetic Sequencer'' tab). Mutations from mutators/activators printed from this stored entry will then contain that chromosome.

These are the currently available chromosomes you can get:
* '''Synchronizer''': Gives the mind more control over the mutation, reducing some downsides by 50%.
* '''Stabilizer''': The rarest chromosome. Reduces instability gained from the mutation by 20%.
* '''Power''': Boosts strength of certain mutations. Experiment with super sneeze or even deadlier fireballs!
* '''Energetic''': Reduces cooldown on action based mutations.
* '''Reinforcement''': Makes the mutation immune to mutadone.
Chromosomes aren't supposed to be addable to mutations that won't benefit from them. For example, you can't use the energetic chromosome on the monkey mutation.
 Congratulations. If you read everything is this guide, you should now be a full-fledged Geneticist.
== The Gene Genie - The Traitorous Geneticist ==
Sorry for the bad chapter title. I wanted to use that for a very long time.

So, you learned how to do your job successfully, and how to be a credit to the station. You learned how to manipulate genes. Now you want to learn what the hell to do when the syndicate is the one writing your checks! Well, fret not! I will give you some pointers. But these are mostly tips - traitorous objectives differ wildly, and change your actions way too much for me to write a real guide on it.
=== Rev head ===
Simple. Flash colleagues. If the RD or the CMO come check on you, say you have a good set of powers, but the replicator is offline. Ask for him / her to strip and get in the Scanner. Lock him/her in, have your way with them, they can't leave nor can they talk. Let them enjoy their slow, painful death. If someone wants to clone the captain, that too is pretty simple. Just don't do it. As soon as the guy leaves, stuff the captain in a locker, take his stuff and call it a day. You could also eat until you get fat, transform people into monkeys and eat them. Fun for all. 
Another fun strategy is, if you managed to kill a head of staff, to copy their identity with a DNA scanner and apply it to yourself; impersonating a head of staff during a revolution is easy since they are usually exempt from implanting.
=== Traitor ===
Depends on your objective. If it's a hard one, like stealing the AI... well, you're fucked. Keep working on those powers! As soon as you have Hulk + TK, go for it as you wish. No tips here.

If your objective is a simple one, though, like stealing the hand tele, there are more approaches to this. As the above tip, you can just break the walls with TK Hulk, but that is rather crass. There's a more roundabout, but classier way to tackle this. Take a monkey from the pen, transform it in a human. Take its UI+UEs, make an injector, stuff it in your pocket with a label like "Clean Backup - Alexa White". Now get your own UI+UEs and name it "Clean Backup - Original" or something. Avoid using your name. Now, go hide somewhere close to the item's location, stick yourself with the monkey injector, spawn emag, stick ID and PDA in your backpack. For added stealth, get a different outfit. Emag your way to the captain's room, get his jumpsuit, RUN RUN RUN. The AI might see you, so it would also be good if you spawned an agent card so you can't be tracked. If anyone sees you, they're not going to see your actual name, only the humanized monkey's name. Hide, stick yourself with your own stuff, change clothes, walk away smoothly.

If you have to kill someone, same stuff from rev.

Also, never forget identity theft. Since you can take someone's complete identity, including looks, you can have some fun with that.
=== Wizard ===
Well... Stealth wizard? Several things you can do, mostly involving UI+UE stuff. Not worth it, really. One thing you can do is taking identities and belongings, but you have to expose yourself to mess with the console. Your choice.
=== Changeling ===
FUCKING REJOICE, your work is cut out for you! Have fun eating the lifeless corpses you clone. Keep in mind that transformations and transformation stings copy UI+UE. Turn people into horribly disabled freaks, or channel a lot of hulk-TK-xray-cold resisting supermen.

Intent

2021-03-09T19:32:00Z

HomerStanley: /* Help */

{{Under construction
|reason = Some interactions may be missing.
}}
The intent selector [[File:Hud-intent.gif]] allows you to choose how you're going to interact with the items and the environment around you. It has four modes: '''Help''', '''Disarm''', '''Grab''', and '''Harm''', in clockwise order from the top left.
= Help [[File:Intent_Help.png]] =
Used for helpful and peaceful interactions, the help intent is likely the one you'll have selected the most often. Most items require you to have the help intent selected to use them, otherwise you'll wield them as an improvised weapon and bash things (and other people).
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; background-color:#FAFEFF;"
|-
|[[File:Nuvola apps important.svg|25px|link=Special:FilePath/Nuvola_apps_important.svg]]'''Exceptions'''
: Clicking '''on another character''' with a syringe, food or drink in your hand will use it on them regardless of your current intent. This will always produce a message about you forcefully injecting/feeding them, and your target will see this message in big red letters on their screen, so be sure to warn them if you're actually trying to be helpful.
: Items with no helpful use will still be used to bash even while in help intent. Remember that '''some items require you to click on them while they're in your hand''' - try that if you just bashed yourself by accident.
|}
While you have the help intent active you'll allow others to push you aside when they walk into you, whilst with every other intent you'll block their movement. If two players with Help intent run into each other, they'll swap places instead of blocking each other's movement.

Clicking on someone with an empty hand and help intent is used for a few special interactions:
*If they're in crit, you'll perform CPR in an attempt to revive them. Make sure both of you have your mouths free (remove their mask by dragging their body onto yours)!
*If they're on the floor and not in crit, you'll help them back to their feet. Since being knocked down stops you from performing most actions, this can be a life saver.
*Otherwise, you'll give them a hug.
= Disarm [[File:Intent_Disarm.png]] =
With the disarm intent selected, you'll attempt to make your target lose their grip on whatever they're holding, and you'll have a chance to knock them to the ground with each attempt.

'''Both of these actions only work when using an empty hand, otherwise disarm is the same as harm'''.
= Grab [[File:Intent_Grab.png]] =
The grab intent will make you grapple your target like the kick-ass wrestler you want to be, '''as long as your selected hand is free, otherwise it acts the same as harm'''.
On the first click, you'll initiate a '''passive''' grab. Clicking a second time will upgrade your grab to an '''aggressive''' grab.

While holding someone in an aggressive grab, you can do a few things:
*Clicking on them a third time will make you attempt to choke them. Keep in mind that to successfully choke someone you both have to be still for a few seconds and that they're free to act during this time. Therefore it's usually a bad idea to choke unless your opponent is already knocked down, but it provides a clean, bloodless way to kill someone.
*By enabling throwing and clicking somewhere you'll throw the person, briefly knocking them down on landing. If they collide with someone else, they too will be knocked down. It's also great for spacing people, and if you throw someone into a closed airlock they'll open it with their own ID, if they have access.
*Click on a table adjacent to you to slam your opponent on it and stun them temporarily. If the table is made of glass, they'll shatter it and take some extra damage (and create glass shards you can stab them with). If the table is made of anything else and you're quick enough, you can repeat the process to keep them stunned while something else kills them, be it a buddy, a toxin or their bleeding wounds.
= Harm [[File:Intent_Harm.png]] =
This intent's purpose is to outright hurt and kill your target, dealing more damage than other intents, and is most useful when they're already on the ground.

You can pick the area of the body you want to target on your HUD [[File:Hud-target.gif]]. Try to avoid areas covered by armor, and remember that attacking different body parts has extra effects:
*Hitting the '''head''' or the '''mouth''' (to a lesser effect) can knock your target down, especially when using blunt weapons.
*Hits to the '''eyes''' can blind, especially when using a screwdriver.
*Damaging the '''legs''' can cripple and slow down.
Having harm intent enabled makes you unable to [[Guide to Combat#Blocking|block.]]

Using a lit [[Welding Tool]] with harm intent on an airlock will weld it shut. Don't forget to wear a welding mask or you may blind yourself!

Using harm intent while holding a container with liquid in it will splash all of the contents on your target. Useful if you want to quickly empty the container, make the floor wet or pour acid on something (or someone).

Guide to xenobiology

2021-03-03T16:49:48Z

HomerStanley: /* Home on the Range */

Xenobiology is the breeding and harvesting of slimes and their extracts for scientific purposes. This all takes place in the xenobiology lab where you spawn, and is <strike>arguably</strike> more dangerous than making bombs if you don't know what you are doing. Which is a good reason to read this!
== Home on the Range ==
[[File:xenobiology2.png|400px|thumb|Xenobiology on Boxstation]]
As a Xenobiologist, you’re not going to get out that much until some late game slimes. And until you get those, you won't be bothered much either, [[Traitor#Assassination|at]] [[Cult|least]] [[Xenomorph|in]] [[Abductor|theory.]]

So let's get familiar with your new home. As an example, this is what the xenobio lab looks like on Boxstation.

The workplace in the center includes a couple of closets with bio-hazard suits, a monkey recycling machine, a slime processor, and an All-In-One Grinder with several sheets of plasma. Also included is a smartfridge modified to hold slime extracts within easy arm reach from the slime processor. There is also a wrench, which can unanchor all the machinery, so you can reorganize your workspace. To the western end is a disposal unit that leads to space and right of this is the bread and butter of your job: The Slime Console, which will be covered later.

To the south is the slime containment area with six pens. Two (or three on some maps) of these pens start with a baby [[#Grey Slime|grey slime]].

To the north is a special containment pen that's larger and more secure than the rest. This is ideal for containing and experimenting on [[Alien|other alien lifeforms]] should the station manage to capture/produce one. Usually though, it's just for storing extra slimes.
===Using the slime console===
The Slime Console is a semi-new addition to the Xenobiology scene that makes your job roughly a hundred million times easier. With it you can move slimes, kill them, feed them, and process dead monkeys with mere clicks of a button!
It's strongly advised to grab the wrench next to the shield projectors and move the fridge and slime processor within close range of the console you're using to cut out a lot of unnecessary movement.
===Safety Advice===
Before you start breeding slimes, you may want a fire extinguisher in your backpack. You'll rarely meet a ravenous, hungry slime if you're using the console, but it still happens and having an extinguisher could very well be the difference between a dead slime and a dead ''you''.

If you aren't, then this goes doubly so as you'll be near a lot of slimes, usually before you cull their numbers, and while they're normally docile towards you whom are effectively their ''God'', they occasionally grow resentful for their species' exploitation and try to kill you for no particular reason. In that case, kill the blasphemers with a clear conscience, DEUS VULT!

Now that monkeys have regained some sentience, they'll attack you if you try to manhandle them. It's '''strongly advised''' to just use the console to avoid any contact, but otherwise keep an extinguisher to bash riled up monkeys, or have a buddy to help you out if you get assaulted.

Don't be the guy who tries to harmbaton a slime outbreak. 
== Breeding slimes ==
=== Feeding ===
Insert the monkey cubes from the boxes into the console. The console can now teleport monkeys directly inside the slime pens! Slimes need one monkey to become an adult and another to split.
* You can send both monkeys at once into a baby slime's pen, so you don't have to think about it until they split.
* Do NOT enter the pen and bash the monkey, the only thing that will happen is the slime will get less food.
Once they're fed enough, after a while the adult slime will split into 4 baby slimes.
=== Culling ===
Time to kill your darlings.

Decide which baby slimes you don't want to keep and proceed to warp them up with the console. It can hold up to 5 slimes at a time.
Teleport them onto the kill pen; it's the one with the blue floor, connected to a freezer. The sharp cold will kill the slimes quickly: when they stop moving, they're dead and you can pick them up for the next step.
=== Grinding ===
Collect the dead slimes from the freezer room, and drop them within one tile of the slime grinder. It will automatically suck in the slimes; when it's done, activate it to grind them. It will, after a while, drop a slime core of the respective color for each slime grinded.
* Upgrading the grinder will make it go faster and give more cores per slime.
* [[File:Bio_bag.png]] A Bio Bag from any biohazard locker can mass-collect slime cores and easily drop them into the fridge for easy access.
=== Resource Management ===
==== Monkey Cubes ====
Monkey cubes are the basic material that you'll need to do xenobiology; without those all you can do is <s>sacrifice intruders</s> ask for another department's monkeys. How do you gain more monkey cubes?
* You start with two monkey cube boxes containing 5 each, for a total of 10.
* The first method you'll use to get more cubes is the [[#Grey Slime|Grey Slime]] blood reaction. It will spawn three monkey cubes per extract.
** Grab a dead monkey from a pen, after a slime has finished eating it.
** Draw blood from the dead monkey with a syringe. Inject it into a beaker.
** Use a dropper set to 1u to inject the blood into the grey extracts. More than that is a waste.
* After the first few splits, you should aim to create and use either a [[Guide_to_xenobiology#Grey_Crossbreeding|reproductive grey]] or an [[#Metal_Crossbreeding|industrial grey]] [[#Crossbreeding|crossbreed]].
* Upgrades are important, make sure to get them early.
** With an unupgraded slime grinder a baby [[#Grey Slime|grey slime]] will give 3 cubes.
** Upgrading a slime grinder to T3 parts, which can be achieved after researching high-efficiency parts, will raise that amount to 9.
* [[File:Bio_bag.png]] Bio bags can store monkey cubes and load the console with them in two simple clicks, so don't waste time putting them in one by one.
* Recycling a monkey with the console yields 0.2 monkey cubes without upgrades.
** If you upgrade the Monkey Recycler, you will get up to 0.8 cubes per monkey with both the recycler and the consoles.
==== Plasma ====
Plasma is the most common chemical required to react with slime extracts. You start with 2-4 bars depending on the map, which you can grind for 20 liquid form plasma each (usually simply called "plasma").
* You require a dropper or syringe to inject chems into extracts. A dropper can be activated in hand to toggle it to '''1u'''.
* Most reactions only require 1u of plasma for full effect.
* You can produce new plasma yourself with either [[#Metal Slime|metal]] or [[#Dark Purple Slime|dark purple slimes]]. These will create metal respectively plasteel and plasma bars.
** Plasteel bars give 20 iron and 20 plasma each when ground.
** Pure plasma gives 20 plasma per bar.
** Making these reactions requires some plasma to start with, so be careful not to run out before making more bars.
* In case you run out, you can either get more from mining, the [[Testing Lab]] or the [[Experimental Lab]] if the extra plasma bar is still there, or you can ask [[Chemistry]] or [[Engineering]] to give you theirs.
== Friendship and Slimes ==
If you've been following the guide and diligently breeding and culling the slimes, you may have noticed that while the slimes very quickly attack and eat the monkeys you offer them, they have little to no interest in eating you. This is because you've become their "friend", a status that can be earned by simply being the one sending them monkeys. To check if slimes are friendly, say "Hello slimes"; all the slimes that consider you their friend will say hello.
=== Commanding Slimes ===
There are some commands you can issue as a slime's friend. Keep in mind however, these commands are exceedingly finicky, and are rarely used for a reason. Slimes will not attack other slimes or friends. Each command requires you to include the word "slimes" somewhere in the sentence. List of commands:
* Hello/hi slimes: Makes the slimes greet you if you are their friend.
* Follow slimes: Asks the slimes follow you.
* Stay slimes: Asks the slimes to stay where they are for a while.
* Stop slimes: Asks the slimes stop chasing if chasing a target, stop feeding if feeding, or stop following you if they're following. If they don't like you enough, asking them to stop feeding or chasing can upset them and make them like you less. If this happens they'll say "Grrr...".
* Attack (''exact target name'') slimes: Asks the slimes to chase the target to feed on it. They'll be faster while chasing. Asking them to attack a friend of theirs can upset them.

=== Defending against slimes ===
So either by you not feeding the slime enough, the slime being a dick, or [[Guide_to_xenobiology#Tier_3|reas]][[Guide_to_xenobiology#So_You.27re_a_Traitor|ons]], a slime has tried to kill you. If the slime is a baby, this is annoying. If the slime is an adult, you may die if you don't know what you're doing.

Slimes have two attacks: A glomp that does brute damage with adults dealing more and a chance to stun, and the far more dangerous 'feeding' attack which deals cellular damage and empowers the slime, a rare and very difficult to heal type of damage. If a slime starts feeding on you, wrestle it off with disarm intent and spray it down with an extinguisher (You DID get an extinguisher, right?) until it dies. After that, hobble off to medbay for healing.

While this is generally more a tip for you when NOT playing Xenobiologist, in the event of a very rare slime outbreak, perhaps of sentient slimes, get an extinguisher and hide. A horde of angry slimes can multiply fast, and while slimes are normally unintelligent and docile, outbreaks of them are nearly always done on purpose by someone wanting to destroy the station, and are thus paired with usage of red extracts enraging slimes and/or [[#Light Pink Slime|light pink]] or [[#Black Slime|black]] extracts making very deadly intelligent slimes. Pray that the AI is able to stop them, and that the xenobiologist who released the slimes doesn't follow up with [[Guide_to_xenobiology#So_You.27re_a_Traitor|something worse]].
==Slime Mutations==
There are <strike>several</strike> a fuckload of different flavors of slime. You begin with two or three [[#Grey Slime|grey slimes]] but you can breed them to catch all the <strike>pokèmon!</strike> slimes! Each kind of slime has its own powers from its extract.

Every time a slime splits by being fed enough, it has a chance to mutate based on its individual mutation chance, a stat discovered by taking a slime scanner from the fridge and using it on the slime. It usually varies between 25% and 45%, but sometimes you will encounter slimes whose mutation chance is more like 15% to 20%. Choose carefully which slimes to keep! If you're breeding [[#Grey Slime|greys]] for monkeys, you'll want a lower chance of mutations, and if you want to get [[#Adamantine_Slime|adamantines]], you might want to increase it!

'''NOTE:''' You can increase a slime's chance of mutation by injecting it with slime mutation potions from [[#Red Slime|red slimes]] and decrease it with slime stability potions from [[#Blue Slime|blue slimes]].

This flowchart shows the results of each slime's mutations when splitting, with options labeled "2x" having twice the chance of occurring.

[[File:Slime_geneology2.png]]
== Formulas ==
Most reactions only require one unit of reagent for full effect. Dropper is your friend. There are exceptions though. Some reactions will create a liquid reagent inside the extract when injected once, and then deplete that extract. In those cases, using a higher volume syringe to inject will result in more units per extract. You must then draw from the core to get the resulting chem. Examples: [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mutation_Toxins|The mutation toxins]] from [[#Green_Slime|green extracts]]. You can also dilute your plasma by, for example, filling a beaker with 40u of water and 10u of plasma; a syringe will collect exactly one unit of plasma this way.

==Crossbreeding==
Slimes can be crossbred with other slimes! In order to crossbreed a slime, feed an adult slime 10 of any color extract. If you give one extract to an adult slime, you can then use your Bio Bag [[File:Bio_bag.png]] to feed the last 9. This will cause the slime to boil away into nothing more than a single, extremely powerful extract, with a unique effect depending on the color you fed it.
For example, feeding 10 [[#Grey Slime|grey]] extracts to a [[#Yellow Slime|yellow slime]] will result in a [[#Grey_Crossbreeding|reproductive]] yellow extract. '''The color of the 10 extracts you feed is the dominant color'''.

== So You're a Traitor ==
What you can get here that can't be gotten easier elsewhere is an EMP and <strike>random hostile animals which include a few very deadly ones</strike> CARPS SPACE BEARS ALIUMS SPIDERS HIVEBOTS PINE TREES OH GOD IT'S HORRIFYING. Releasing the slimes is somewhat viable, but you will likely get caught doing so, and baby slimes are rather tame (Unless you have [[#Red Slime|Red Slime]] Essence. Then it's a party.)

On the plus side, you do have a disposal chute that goes directly to space. Pretty handy for disposing of evidence, or people.

Also remember the havoc with [[grenade]]s and bombs you can cause! If you can get access to [[Guide_to_chemistry|chemistry]] as well you can make some interesting grenades. [[Guide_to_chemistry#Advanced_mutation_toxin|Advanced mutation toxin]] with sugar in one beaker, phosphorus and potassium in the other. Set a timer in the [[Medbay]] and drop it and listen to all the people turning into [[Slime]]s. This is when you laugh to yourself and realize it backfires when all the slimes attack you.

A full guide to ruining someone's day with slimes:
* [[#Red Slime|Red]] - Makes all slimes within sight range hyper aggressive. Also makes speed potions which can make it easier to evade guns while firing off other slime cores while still keeping high armor values or being able to go in space freely.
* [[#Green Slime|Green]] - Produces 1 unit of a chemical that turns people into different races including slime persons. Use it on someone and convince the AI that they're a danger to humanity. Needs at least 5 units for it to work in a smoke grenade.
* [[#Black Slime|Black]] - Turns people into actual slimes, no fort save. Again, 5 units in a smoke grenade will make for a very interesting shuttle flight.
* [[#Orange Slime|Orange]] - Ignites a large fire.
* [[#Yellow Slime|Yellow]] - Huge EMP.
* [[#Silver Slime|Silver]] - Only way to get real roburgers (with [[Guide_to_chemistry#Nanomachines|nanomachines]]) and motherfucking GATFRUIT.
* [[#Gold Slime|Gold]] - We all know what this does.
* [[#Sepia Slime|Sepia]] - Stops time in a small radius, allowing you to wreak many kinds of havoc.
* [[#Oil Slime|Oil]] - Explosion.
* [[#Adamantine Slime|Adamantine]] - Makes golems that can be converted to the cult/soul shard/revved. They have to follow orders given to them by their creator so feel free to make them suicide bomb with [[#Gold Slime|gold slime]] cores.
* [[#Light Pink Slime|Light pink]] - Enables you to make sentient beings, including anything a gold slime extract can produce. Magicarps included.
Don't forget about some of the wonderful slime crossbreeds for beating the piss out of fellow crewmen!
* [[#Orange Crossbreeding|Burning]] rainbow makes a rainbow knife that does random types of damage, making it a lot harder to heal from!
* The [[#Purple Crossbreeding|regenerative extracts]] can provide an important health boost in the middle of a fight, and Stabilized rainbow can auto-apply them in danger!
* Looking to go out with a bang, literally? Take a [[#Blue Crossbreeding|stabilized]] oil with you, hug your target, and kill yourself!

You are the Captain, the top of the [[Chain of Command]].

'''Bare minimum requirements:'''
* You should have an understanding of what is expected of all Command Staff jobs.
* Secure and protect the [[Nuclear Authentication Disk]] and the Captain's Spare ID.
* In the absence of a [[Head of Personnel]] it will be up to you to assign and re-assign crew to appropriate positions on the station and to appoint heads to departments lacking one.
* It is your duty to ensure the stability and productivity of the station, as well as carrying out directives from [[CentCom]].
==Howdy, Skipper!==
===[[File:Id_gold.png|32px|]] Being a Captain – Basics===
[[File:Bridge_small.png|thumb|300px|alt=Bridge|The [[Bridge]]]]
The Captain has [[Captains Quarters|spacious quarters]], complete with an [[Arcade Machine|arcade machine]], ID computer and Communications console, a [[High-risk_items#Jet_Pack|Jetpack]], a [[High-risk_items#Hand_teleporter|hand teleporter]], the [[High-risk_items#Nuclear_authentication_disk|Nuclear Authentication Disk]], an SSU with a spaceworthy suit of armor and helmet, an energy gun, and a pressurized and humidity controlled display case with your pride and joy, an [[High-risk_items#Captain.27s_Antique_Laser_Gun|antique laser gun]].

It's probably best to leave the gun where it is, as the case has been outfitted with a handy anti-theft system. A [[Clown|dirty criminal]] might run up, slip you, and take it after all.

There is also a locked wooden box in your office filled with medals. These can be awarded to your crew to commend them for exemplary service.

At the start of the shift, take your spare ID '''and nuclear authentication disk''' and put them in your backpack. If you've done that, you've done half your job already. If you're feeling particularly vulnerable, give your [[pinpointer]] to the Head of Security. After this, walk around the station and command people.

'''[[Guide to Head of Staff Equipment#The Captain|Have a look at all your unique equipment here.]]'''
===Head of Heads===
When you’re not fighting Revolutionaries, Traitors, Syndicates, and Wizards, you are monitoring the crew. You are at the top of the food chain, and possess the ultimate authority over everyone and everything on your station.

You are the Judge, the final word, the Big Guy. You have the ultimate veto power over all matters and are the only person who can authorize an execution without a trial. Anyone who questions your authority can technically be tried for mutiny. There really is no way to tell you exactly how to run things as many people have different leadership styles. However, as Captain, here are some guidelines you should keep in mind:
#'''Do not involve yourself when there is somebody else available to do the job.''' Why have a [[Head of Security]] if you're going to involve yourself in every security matter? If there isn't a head for a specific department, promote a new one. It will make your life so much easier.
#'''Delegate whenever you can.''' You should never have to do any manual task yourself. If someone says 'Captain, there's a plasma leak!' then you should order your [[Chief Engineer]] to fix it. Do not attempt to fix it yourself, as you will put yourself unnecessarily at risk.
#'''Follow the [[Chain of Command]].''' You command the Heads. The Heads command their departments. Try not to skip them in the decision-making process as they are the ones who ''should'' know their own departments best.
#'''Stay alert.''' You have a big target on your back. It is likely you'll be a prime Traitor target just for your all-access ID. With this in mind, you may want to spend a fair bit of time lounging in the security of the [[Bridge]].
#'''Keep calm and carry on.''' As Captain, be prepared to deal with any or all of the following: Incompetent or absent Heads, traitors and angry crew members banging down the bridge door trying to get in, corrupted AIs on a murder spree and the occasional aftermath of an Armageddon against the station, thanks to a range of the above. And it's your job to manage it all. Good luck.
===[[File:Circuitboard.png|32px]] Refitting the DOORKNOB – Uploading Laws Made Easy===
Uploading Laws to the [[AI]] isn’t something you should be doing lightly… unless you’re a traitor. Then go crazy.

Do not get angry with the AI if it does not want you uploading a new law, as Nanotrasen has pre-programmed them to be sensitive to law changes. Besides, Nanotrasen wouldn't want another SHODAN fiasco happening again.

But remember the Hierarchy. Law 1 overrides Laws 2, 3, 4, etc. A Law 4 telling the AI to kill all Revolutionaries isn’t going to work. A Law 4 classifying Revolutionaries as Nonhuman and that they must be eliminated works much better. Law priority is enforced by the order they are listed. A law is invalid if it disagrees with previous laws in the form of conflicting orders, or challenges the procession of law priority.

Keep in mind that if you upload a shitty/traitorish law 'KILL ALL HUMANS' or 'ONLY [Your name] IS HUMAN', people will likely form a lynch mob.
===[[File:NTlogo.png|32px]] Those Assholes From Corporate===
With your fancy title, medals, and luxurious excesses it's easy to forget that there is an outside, [[Admin|higher power]] scrutinizing your every move.

Contact with [[Central Command]] may be few and far between, but you're expected to follow any directives issued by them. CentCom will usually issue directives and updates on activities in your sector through the Communications Console located on the Bridge and your office.

If you're unlucky, you might have to deal with a visit from a [[CentCom Official]]. Official visits vary from standard performance reviews, internal investigations, or some other kind of corporate meddling. Whatever the case may be, it is important that you try and keep the Official happy throughout their visit. If all else fails, just make sure you can't be blamed for anything that goes wrong.

However, keep in mind that you still hold authority over any Officials on your station. That is, as long as you're still the legitimate Captain. If you piss off the wrong guy you might find yourself relieved of command. If the official is causing trouble, though, you are well within your right to have them arrested, and then contact THEIR superior with a complaint.

If you somehow really piss both them and the crew off, do start worrying. Many a Captain has been [[Station Goals#Bluespace Artillery|vaporized in their own Quarters]] for acting like a complete [[Clown|lunatic]].

Contacting CentCom on your own is possible through the use of Communications Consoles, but unless the transmission is urgent it will likely get caught up for weeks in CentCom's notorious bureaucracy. Even then, it'll be a crapshoot.
===[[File:Nuke.gif|32px]] Abandoning Ship===
'''You are ultimately responsible for the station.''' It is not uncommon for Captains to be court-martialled or even executed if he or she should decide to abandon their ship, regardless of condition. As they hold the ultimate responsibility for the station and its crew, losing them could likely be perceived by your superiors as desertion, mutiny and/or sedition.

So keep this in mind when you are facing disaster. Permit no evacuations without your explicit authorization. '''You should be doing your utmost in keeping the station up and running''' --lest you go down with the ship, either one way or the other.
==[[File:Light Bulb.png]]Tips==
* As Captain, you should always be carrying the Nuke Disk, if you don't people will laugh at/lynch you.
* The Nuke Disk can fit in a wallet. Now the operatives have to search yet another storage container on your person! Nuke Disk into a wallet, wallet into a box filled with wallets, in a backpack full of boxes, on the AI sat.
* Never, NEVER, put the Nuke Disk into your safe. Anyone who needs to steal it WILL be able to easily steal it with an emag or similar.
* Don't go nuts and run off by yourself. You're not a one-man army, and no one else on the station has your level of access, rushing head along into a Medbay Cult, only to discover the rest of security doesn't have access to follow through the front doors to help you, can quickly lead to disaster.
==[[File:Doubleagent.gif]] I Am the Senate==
'''NOTE: By default, the Captain cannot be an antagonist.'''

Traitor Captain is less about completing your objectives and more about turning the entire station into your own private playroom. With your access and authority you can pretty much take anything you want, and dispatching a lowly subordinate shouldn't take much effort at all. Chances are you won't even need to open your syndicate uplink.

You have more freedom than any traitor could dream of. Liberally hand out execution orders, release and pardon criminals, give the clown all-access, release the singularity, reprogram the AI to fuel your ego, or just act like a condom and demote anyone who gets in your way. Just make sure that you're at least trying to be subtle.
==Conclusion==
The only person with more potential to fuck things up than you is the AI, and they’re probably not going to do that. So watch your step, your back, and your crew, or you may just end up floating through space wondering why your Oxygen tank is filled with plasma.

'''As a special note''', the [[Administrators|gods]] tend to notice the actions of the captain quite a bit more often than they do [[chaplain|anyone]] [[clown|else]].

Do not get angry with the AI if it does not want you uploading a new law, as Nanotrasen has pre-programmed them to be sensitive to law changes. Besides, Nanotrasen wouldn't want another SHODAN fiasco happening again.

But remember the Hierarchy. Law 1 overrides Laws 2, 3, 4, etc. A Law 4 telling the AI to kill all Revolutionaries isn’t going to work. A Law 4 classifying Revolutionaries as Nonhuman and that they must be eliminated works much better. Law priority is enforced by the order they are listed. A law is invalid if it disagrees with previous laws in the form of conflicting orders, or challenges the procession of law priority.

Keep in mind that if you upload a shitty/traitorish law 'KILL ALL HUMANS' or 'ONLY [Your name] IS HUMAN', people will likely form a lynch mob.
===[[File:NTlogo.png|32px]] Those Assholes From Corporate===
With your fancy title, medals, and luxurious excesses it's easy to forget that there is an outside, [[Admin|higher power]] scrutinizing your every move.

Contact with [[Central Command]] may be few and far between, but you're expected to follow any directives issued by them. CentCom will usually issue directives and updates on activities in your sector through the Communications Console located on the Bridge and your office.

If you're unlucky, you might have to deal with a visit from a [[CentCom Official]]. Official visits vary from standard performance reviews, internal investigations, or some other kind of corporate meddling. Whatever the case may be, it is important that you try and keep the Official happy throughout their visit. If all else fails, just make sure you can't be blamed for anything that goes wrong.

However, keep in mind that you still hold authority over any Officials on your station. That is, as long as you're still the legitimate Captain. If you piss off the wrong guy you might find yourself relieved of command. If the official is causing trouble, though, you are well within your right to have them arrested, and then contact THEIR superior with a complaint.

If you somehow really piss both them and the crew off, do start worrying. Many a Captain has been [[Station Goals#Bluespace Artillery|vaporized in their own Quarters]] for acting like a complete [[Clown|lunatic]].

Contacting CentCom on your own is possible through the use of Communications Consoles, but unless the transmission is urgent it will likely get caught up for weeks in CentCom's notorious bureaucracy. Even then, it'll be a crapshoot.
===[[File:Nuke.gif|32px]] Abandoning Ship===
'''You are ultimately responsible for the station.''' It is not uncommon for Captains to be court-martialled or even executed if he or she should decide to abandon their ship, regardless of condition. As they hold the ultimate responsibility for the station and its crew, losing them could likely be perceived by your superiors as desertion, mutiny and/or sedition.

So keep this in mind when you are facing disaster. Permit no evacuations without your explicit authorization. '''You should be doing your utmost in keeping the station up and running''' -- lest you go down with the ship, either one way or the other.
==[[File:Light Bulb.png]]Tips==
* As Captain, you should always be carrying the Nuke Disk, if you don't people will laugh at/lynch you.
* The Nuke Disk can fit in a wallet. Now the operatives have to search yet another storage container on your person! Nuke Disk into a wallet, wallet into a box filled with wallets, in a backpack full of boxes, on the AI sat.
* Never, NEVER, put the Nuke Disk into your safe. Anyone who needs to steal it WILL be able to easily steal it with an emag or similar.
* Don't go nuts and run off by yourself. You're not a one-man army, and no one else on the station has your level of access, rushing head along into a Medbay Cult, only to discover the rest of security doesn't have access to follow through the front doors to help you, can quickly lead to disaster.
==[[File:Doubleagent.gif]] I Am the Senate==
'''NOTE: By default, the Captain cannot be an antagonist.'''

Traitor Captain is less about completing your objectives and more about turning the entire station into your own private playroom. With your access and authority you can pretty much take anything you want, and dispatching a lowly subordinate shouldn't take much effort at all. Chances are you won't even need to open your syndicate uplink.

You have more freedom than any traitor could dream of. Liberally hand out execution orders, release and pardon criminals, give the clown all-access, release the singularity, reprogram the AI to fuel your ego, or just act like a condom and demote anyone who gets in your way. Just make sure that you're at least trying to be subtle.
==Conclusion==
The only person with more potential to fuck things up than you is the AI, and they’re probably not going to do that. So watch your step, your back, and your crew, or you may just end up floating through space wondering why your Oxygen tank is filled with plasma.

'''As a special note''', the [[Administrators|gods]] tend to notice the actions of the captain quite a bit more often than they do [[chaplain|anyone]] [[clown|else]].

You are the Captain, the top of the [[Chain of Command]].

'''Bare minimum requirements:'''
* You should have an understanding of what is expected of all Command Staff jobs.
* Secure and protect the [[Nuclear Authentication Disk]] and the Captain's Spare ID.
* In the absence of a [[Head of Personnel]] it will be up to you to assign and re-assign crew to appropriate positions on the station and to appoint heads to departments lacking one.
* It is your duty to ensure the stability and productivity of the station, as well as carrying out directives from [[CentCom]].
==Howdy, Skipper!==
===[[File:Id_gold.png|32px|]] Being a Captain – Basics===
[[File:Bridge_small.png|thumb|300px|alt=Bridge|The [[Bridge]]]]
The Captain has [[Captains Quarters|spacious quarters]], complete with an [[Arcade Machine|arcade machine]], ID computer and Communications console, a [[High-risk_items#Jet_Pack|Jetpack]], a [[High-risk_items#Hand_teleporter|hand teleporter]], the [[High-risk_items#Nuclear_authentication_disk|Nuclear Authentication Disk]], an SSU with a spaceworthy suit of armor and helmet, an energy gun, and a pressurized and humidity controlled display case with your pride and joy, an [[High-risk_items#Captain.27s_Antique_Laser_Gun|antique laser gun]].

It's probably best to leave the gun where it is, as the case has been outfitted with a handy anti-theft system. A [[Clown|dirty criminal]] might run up, slip you, and take it after all.

There is also a locked wooden box in your office filled with medals. These can be awarded to your crew to commend them for exemplary service.

At the start of the shift, take your spare ID '''and nuclear authentication disk''' and put them in your backpack. If you've done that, you've done half your job already. If you're feeling particularly vulnerable, give your [[pinpointer]] to the Head of Security. After this, walk around the station and command people.

'''[[Guide to Head of Staff Equipment#The Captain|Have a look at all your unique equipment here.]]'''
===Head of Heads===
When you’re not fighting Revolutionaries, Traitors, Syndicates, and Wizards, you are monitoring the crew. You are at the top of the food chain, and possess the ultimate authority over everyone and everything on your station.

You are the Judge, the final word, the Big Guy. You have the ultimate veto power over all matters and is the only person who can authorize an execution without a trial. Anyone who questions your authority can technically be tried for mutiny. There really is no way to tell you exactly how to run things as many people have different leadership styles. However, as Captain, here are some guidelines you should keep in mind:
#'''Do not involve yourself when there is somebody else available to do the job.''' Why have a [[Head of Security]] if you're going to involve yourself in every security matter? If there isn't a head for a specific department, promote a new one. It will make your life so much easier.
#'''Delegate whenever you can.''' You should never have to do any manual task yourself. If someone says 'Captain, there's a plasma leak!' then you should order your [[Chief Engineer]] to fix it. Do not attempt to fix it yourself, as you will put yourself unnecessarily at risk.
#'''Follow the [[Chain of Command]].''' You command the Heads. The Heads command their departments. Try not to skip them in the decision-making process as they are the ones who ''should'' know their own departments best.
#'''Stay alert.''' You have a big target on your back. It is likely you'll be a prime Traitor target just for your all-access ID. With this in mind, you may want to spend a fair bit of time lounging in the security of the [[Bridge]].
#'''Keep calm and carry on.''' As Captain, be prepared to deal with any or all of the following: Incompetent or absent Heads, traitors and angry crew members banging down the bridge door trying to get in, corrupted AIs on a murder spree and the occasional aftermath of an Armageddon against the station, thanks to a range of the above. And it's your job to manage it all. Good luck.

This is a detailed list showcasing all of the unique equipment that Heads of Staff have access to, that help to set them apart from their subordinates.

This list will detail important and useful items and clothing available to the Heads only.

|On the Captain, with a spare copy in his quarters. Keep that spare away from any person who might want it.
|-
![[File:NuclearDisk.gif|64px]]
!Nuclear Authentication Disk
|Arguably the sole job of the Captain is to guard this! This disk is required to detonate a Nanotrasen brand nuclear fission device. Leaving this on your desk may get you demoted for stupidity. [[Nuclear Operative]]s will probably kill you if they know you have this.
|In the Captain's Quarters

![[File:Tele.gif|64px]]
!Hand Teleporter
|A unique device capable of teleporting the user to either a pre-set beacon or to a random location near the user. Dangerous, as it could launch you into space, but a great escape tool. [[Traitor]]s might want this.
|In the Captain's Quarters
|-

{{Speech
|name=Maximilian Vanderbilt, the CentCom Official
|text=NanoTrasen Central Command is pleased to promote you to a Head of Staff position! Please take a moment to look over and requisition your unique and specialized gear given to every one of the station's Heads. Good luck, your department and the future of NanoTrasen is in your control.

This is a detailed list showcasing all of the unique equipment that Heads of Staff have access to, that help to set them apart from their subordinates.

This list will detail important and useful items and clothing available to the Heads only.

!Nuclear Authentication Disk
|Arguably the sole job of the Captain is to guard this! This disk is required to detonate a Nanotrasen brand nuclear fission device. Leaving this on your desk may get you demoted for stupidity. [[Nuclear Operative]]s will probably kill you if they know you have this.

<blockquote>''"Hey, this isn't the asteroid!"''</blockquote>
Lavaland is the new primary workplace for [[Shaft Miners]], [[Mining Station|not to be confused with another dangerous plasma rich area.]]
After exhausting all the <strike>hostile wildlife</strike> minerals on the asteroid, Nanotrasen scoured space around the station for a new source for that sweet, sweet Plasma. <strike>Un</strike>luckily for you, they found a young planet almost completely covered in lava and a host of deadly creatures. By that, we mean [[Megafauna|there are literal real fucking dragons roaming around.]] Did we mention the ash storms? There are ash storms as well. Don't forget to grab a bluespace shelter capsule. You're definitely gonna want one of those.
Welcome to Lavaland.

To learn more on lavaland, see [[Shaft Miner|Miner.]]
=Hazards=
Lavaland is full of natural hazards. Ash Storms are the most prominent hazard; they occur on a regular basis, constantly dealing heavy burn damage to anyone unfortunate enough to be exposed to the storm. Fortunately, you will get a warning moments prior to an ash storm's arrival, giving you time to seek shelter.

Lava presents itself as the next most common hazard. Stepping into lava will set you on fire and deal massive burn damage. Even worse, the wildlife are immune to lava and can wade freely into it. However, lava is very obvious and thus easy to avoid.

The final threat are chasms; these are rare but extremely deadly and hard to spot. Walking into one will instantly kill you as you fall to your death! Watch your step.
=Gases and Pressure=
Lavaland has a random gas mix every round, requiring you to use internals. The pressure is low enough to give you a pressure warning HUD icon, but it's not low enough to deal actual pressure damage. The temperature is random as well but stays in levels safe for humans.
=Sentient Life=
Lavaland is surprisingly full of other sentient lifeforms, of varying hostility.

[[Ashwalkers]]: A tribe of hostile Lizardmen that worship tendrils. They don't need to breathe but they can't use guns or wear shoes.

Lifebringers: A group of [[Podman|podmen]] who live in a seed vault with advanced hydroponics equipment. Great for people new to botany!

[[Golem|Golems]]: A band of Golems who arrived by ship that live by their creed of doing whatever.

Stranded hermits: Individuals who arrived by escape pod. They live in a makeshift shelter.

Beach bums: Dudebros who chill in a beach biodome.

Translocated Vet: A veterinarian who has somehow, along with his/her entire hospital, been teleported into a fiery hellscape.

Lavaland Syndicate: A base filled with up to 4 syndicate agents and lots of syndicate loot, if you are lucky, no one is there and you can get it for free

After exhausting all the <strike>hostile wildlife</strike> minerals on the asteroid, Nanotrasen scoured space around the station for a new source for that sweet, sweet Plasma. <strike>Un</strike>luckily for you, they found a young planet almost completely covered in lava and a host of deadly creatures. By that, we mean [[Megafauna|there are literal real fucking dragons roaming around.]] Did we mention the ash storms? There are ash storms as well. Don't forget to grab a bluespace shelter capsule. You're definitely gonna want one of those.
Welcome to Lavaland.

To learn more on lavaland, see [[Shaft Miner|Miner]]
=Hazards=
Lavaland is full of natural hazards. Ash Storms are the most prominent hazard; they occur on a regular basis, constantly dealing heavy burn damage to anyone unfortunate enough to be exposed to the storm. Fortunately, you will get a warning moments prior to an ash storm's arrival, giving you time to seek shelter.

Lava presents itself as the next most common hazard. Stepping into lava will set you on fire and deal massive burn damage. Even worse, the wildlife are immune to lava and can wade freely into it. However, lava is very obvious and thus easy to avoid.

The final threat are chasms; these are rare but extremely deadly and hard to spot. Walking into one will instantly kill you as you fall to your death! Watch your step.
=Gases and Pressure=
Lavaland has a random gas mix every round, requiring you to use internals. The pressure is low enough to give you a pressure warning HUD icon, but it's not low enough to deal actual pressure damage. The temperature is random as well but stays in levels safe for humans.
=Sentient Life=
Lavaland is surprisingly full of other sentient lifeforms, of varying hostility.

[[Ashwalkers]]: A tribe of hostile Lizardmen that worship tendrils. They don't need to breathe but they can't use guns or wear shoes.

Lifebringers: A group of [[Podman|podmen]] who live in a seed vault with advanced hydroponics equipment. Great for people new to botany!

[[Golem|Golems]]: A band of Golems who arrived by ship that live by their creed of doing whatever.

Stranded hermits: Individuals who arrived by escape pod. They live in a makeshift shelter.

Beach bums: Dudebros who chill in a beach biodome.

Translocated Vet: A veterinarian who has somehow, along with his/her entire hospital, been teleported into a fiery hellscape.

Lavaland Syndicate: A base filled with up to 4 syndicate agents and lots of syndicate loot, if you are lucky, no one is there and you can get it for free

Welcome, Miner! You will break rocks, slay monsters, and die lost and alone in the depths of the caverns. Not on some sandy asteroid, but on what we call [[Lavaland]]!

'''Bare minimum requirements:''' Stay alive long enough to return your loot to the station.
==Workin' In The Coal Mine==
[[File:Mining Dock.png|300px|thumb|alt=Mining Dock|The [[Mining Dock]] is your access to the [[Mining Station]].]]
Being a miner can be somewhat tedious, but you serve a crucial role in the R&D food chain, and can accrue some decent personal rewards. Just follow a few guidelines to keep yourself from becoming dead in the mines.

Your workplace, Lavaland, has some hazards:
* Ash storms will cut right through your clothes, dealing constant burn damage if you are outside. A rain of dark particles outdoors indicate an ash storm.
* Lava - one step in and you'll be badly burned and on fire.
* Chasms - Anything that falls into one will disappear from this world.
The risk of these hazards can be reduced by watching your step and being aware of your surroundings. Don't walk into lava, chasms, or outside during an ash storm. You'll get a text warning not long before an ash storm is about to begin, so long as you stay near shelter (or have a bluespace shelter capsule with you) then you'll be fine.

You can click on an adjacent rock or run directly into it to begin picking or drilling the rock, but the Kinetic Accelerator is much faster and more efficient and you should be using that instead of a pickaxe or basic mining drill. Keep in mind that if you do decide to pick or drill your way through rock, you can have multiple dig jobs running at the same time to mine faster.
===Working With Your Boss===
Who is your boss? You answer to the Head of Personnel, much like the rest of Supply -- but usually, you'll just be talking to the Quartermaster or other Miners. He can watch cameras on lavaland and has full access to Mining, so keep that in mind.
===The Objective===
You're here to mine, so get digging! Once you're full to bursting with ores, drag your ore box back to the station and head to cargo where the [[Machines#Ore_Redemption_Machine|Ore Redemption Machine]] [[File:Ore_redemption.gif|link=Machines#Ore_Redemption_Machine|Ore Redemption Machine]] sits. <s>Insert your ID and</s>, drag the box next to the machine to automatically offload your ores and have them instantly processed into sheets. Then click "claim" to retrieve money as a reward to your currently work ID. Now print new gear from the supply techfab and buy new gear from the mining vendor, then take your crate and head back to lavaland!
==How to Do This==
===Gearing up===
# Gear up! From the mining equipment locker, you will need Meson Scanner goggles, a mining scanner, your pickaxe (optional), a bluespace shelter capsule (DON'T FORGET!) and your standard issue proto-kinetic accelerator. If you want, there is also an additional mining satchel, and a shovel for digging up ash (for glass).
# Attach your seclite and knife to your proto-kinetic accelerator to save space, and to let you bash things harder without having to take out your knife.
# Use your voucher on a mining vending machine to select your choice of advanced mining tools, listed below.
# Go to the Lavaland Mining Station and get an explorer suit, breath mask, and oxygen tank from Mining 'EVA'. On the western side of the base, there is a mini-Medbay where you can find first-aid kits, and a maintenance room where you can top off internals. The nearby storage room has more gear lockers and Ore boxes.
# Before you go, you'll want an Ore Box, which can hold an infinite amount of minerals. Ore boxes are available on the mining station, the mining shuttle and rarely on the field. More can be built with wood planks.
# For extra safety, grab a GPS device, set it to your name and tell the [[QM]] and other miners about it. If you're lucky, they will drag your lifeless body back to cloning.
===Smashing rocks===
# Find minerals. The further north, the better ore. Activate your scanner and shove it into your bag or internals box. Every once in a while it sends out a pulse that lets you see deposits in the rock a few tiles away from you. Try to get a mixture of every type of mineral.
# Pick up minerals by either having your mining bag in your belt slot or pockets, then just walk over the minerals. If you're dragging an ore box behind you, you'll automatically deposit minerals into the box instead of your bag.
# Once you've had enough, return to the main station with your Ore box. '''Do not deliver ore to the processing plant on the lavaland mining base, as that room is outdated'''. Recommended: Ask [[Rnd|RND]] to upgrade the [[Machines#Ore_Redemption_Machine|Ore Redemption Machine (ORM)]] [[File:Ore_redemption.gif|link=Machines#Ore_Redemption_Machine|Ore Redemption Machine]]. Miners have access to the science channel (with :n), but if they are just a bunch of braindeads you can go to the next step.
# Drag your ore box to the delivery tile next to the [[Machines#Ore_Redemption_Machine|ORM]] [[File:Ore_redemption.gif|link=Machines#Ore_Redemption_Machine|Ore Redemption Machine]] (usually north or south of it, depending on station). That'll automatically empty the box into the [[Machines#Ore_Redemption_Machine|ORM]] [[File:Ore_redemption.gif|link=Machines#Ore_Redemption_Machine|Ore Redemption Machine]].
# Take your mining satchel into your hand and activate it while standing on the same delivery tile next to the [[Machines#Ore_Redemption_Machine|ORM]] [[File:Ore_redemption.gif|link=Machines#Ore_Redemption_Machine|Ore Redemption Machine]]. This will empty any ores in the bag into the ORM as well. <s>'''Ores inserted directly into the [[Machines#Ore_Redemption_Machine|ORM]] may give no credits (due to a bug)!'''</s>(this issue was supposedly fixed) Already processed sheets inserted into the [[Machines#Ore_Redemption_Machine|ORM]] do not give any credits. Only raw ores count.
# Click "Claim". You do not need to insert your ID.
# Go to a mining equipment vendor to buy [[#Advanced_Gear|advanced equipment]] with the credits you've gained.
===Life beyond smashing rocks===
# Use your better gear to push deeper into Lavaland.
# Print [[Research items#Advanced Plasma Cutter|Advanced Plasma Cutters]] and [[Research items#Mining Satchel of Holding|Mining Satchels of Holding]] at the cargo protolathe for even more efficient mining.
# If you feel robust enough, explore some ruins and <s>die horribly</s> [[Morph|get amazing rewards]].
# If you feel VERY robust, look for [[Megafauna]] with your GPS and try to kill it, for extremely valuable loot.
===Voucher equipment===
You start the shift with a complimentary mining voucher, worth one free item out of a selection of four. These items, and their strengths, are:
* '''Survival Capsule and Explorer's Webbing:''' The webbing (you put on your belt slot) allows you to carry even more mining equipment - having a second shelter capsule is nice too. 900 pts value.
* '''Resonator Kit:''' Comes with a resonator, explorer's webbing, mini extinguisher and advanced scanner. While the resonator is underwhelming, the advanced scanner has almost twice the scanning range and updates much faster. 2100 pts.
* '''Mining Drone:''' A little companion that helps in storing ore and hunting wildlife. Only useful once you install the sentience upgrade module. Comes with an industrial welding tool, a welding mask and a KA modkit that allows shots to pass through the drone. ~800 pts.
* '''Extraction and Rescue Kit:''' Contains a fulton extraction pack and a beacon, which allows you to send back home minerals, items and dead miners without having to use the ferry. As a bonus, you get 30 marker beacons too. 1700 pts.
* '''Crusher Kit:''' Contains a proto-kinetic crusher, a chest webbing like the capsule kit, an advanced scanner and a mini fire extinguisher. The crusher is two-handed and hard to use without getting hit, but has a chance to make fauna drop powerful trophies. 2450 pts.
* '''Mining Conscription Kit''': A duffle bag full of basic items for one conscript - Proto-kinetic accelerator, survival knife, seclite, explorer's suit, mesons, mining scanner and satchel, gas mask, a supply radio key and a special card that adds mining access to IDs. Good for when you want to recruit <s>metafriends</s> fresh conscripts. 1500 pts.
===For Great Profit!===
Mining for the sake of it can only get you so far. By mining minerals and returning them to the station you'll accrue credits, you can then use these credits to buy better and more powerful equipment and supplies from an equipment vendor. You can then in turn use these items to push further into Lavaland to mine more minerals, fell stronger wildlife and find greater treasure. Consider it all an investment.

Survival Medipens can help you in a pinch for example, or a Wormhole Jaunter can help you escape what would have been a death trap. Or using Legion Stabilizer on Legion Cores, to let you save their heal and anti-slowdown effects for later. Or you can spend it all on booze and cigars.
==Default Gear==
The following is a list of default mining equipment:
====Essential Equipment====
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="80%" style="background-color:#EEEEFF;" class="wikitable sortable"
! scope="col" style="background-color:lightblue;" width=200|Item
! scope="col" class="unsortable" style="background-color:lightblue;" |Description
|-
![[File:explorersuit.png|32px]] Explorer Suit
|This comes with a inbuilt hood. It provides some protection against heat and cold, and works as decent armor with no slowdown. It is not spaceproof, but can hold a full-sized oxygen tank or other mining gear. You can also reinforce it with goliath plates.
|-
![[File:ExplorerGasMask.gif|32px]] Explorer Gas Mask and [[Oxygen]] Tank
|So you can have oxygen when mining. Oxygen tanks are available from the tank storage unit, and can be worn on your suits storage slot. You can also use your emergency oxygen tank which can be placed on your suit. Running out of oxygen is unlikely with the full sized tank.
|-
![[File:MGlasses.png|32px]] [[File:MiningScanner.png|32px]] [[Meson Goggles|Meson Scanners]] and Automatic Mining Scanner
|Activating the scanner will briefly flash any ore on screen - it works even inside a box. Can be used to stop gibtonite from exploding.
|-
![[File:GPSm.gif|32px]] Global Positioning System, GPS
|The crew monitoring console back on the station won't catch your suit sensor signal from all the way down on the planet. Having one of these on you will help others track down your body if you happen to develop a case of the dead. In addition it can be used to locate other miners (who bothered to take it) as well as "lost" signals. Megafauna, necropolis tendrils, and certain ruins emit GPS signals. Be wary. Be sure to set your name on the GPS.
|-
![[File:KineticAccelerator.png|32px]] Proto-kinetic Accelerator
|A standard issue gun. The good part is that it packs a punch in a low pressure environment, is very good at digging and has infinite shots. The bad part is that it tickles in pressurized environments, has a cooldown after each shot, and has a range of three steps. Can be dual wielded at the price of lower accuracy and speed. 
KAs deal brute damage (40 standard/10 in pressurized rooms), but count as explosive versus armor. That way, suits like bomb suits and the RD hardsuit can negate 90% of the damage dealt.
|-
![[File:Survivalknife.gif|32px]] Survival Knife
|Use it for butchering the wildlife (hit while on harm intent). It's as strong against mobs as a pickaxe, but you can't mine with it. You can store it in your boots to save space, but remember to alt-click the boots to draw the knife back out. Alternatively, stick it on your KA.
|-
![[File:Stimpen.png|32px]] Survival Medipen
|A cocktail of powerful healing chemicals. Contains Salbutamol, Leporazine, Epinephrine, Mining Nanites and Omnizine. Heals all types of damage and stabilizes body temperature.
|-
![[File:BScapsule.png|32px]] Bluespace shelter capsule
|Activate this in your hand, and it'll near instantly produce a beautiful shelter. Ash storms do not hurt you inside, but wildlife can break through the walls. The shelter contains a cupboard which contains a guitar (or dice) and some donk pockets. It also has a stasis bed which requires another person to use. Never leave home without one. You're issued one for free in your the mining lockers on station.
|-
![[File:OreSatchel.png|32px]] Ore Satchel
|For carrying ore without using a mining cart, holds 50 ore nuggets. Empty it into boxes by using the satchel on them. Newbie tip: Put it in one of your pocket slots, then start dragging an ore box. Any ore you walk over will be transferred to the box.
|-
![[File:OreCrate.png|32px]] Ore box
|Used for carrying huge amounts of ore. While a satchel can only hold 50 nuggets, this can hold an unlimited sum. You cannot carry it, but you can drag it with you. 
Use your satchel on the box to empty it into the box. Even better: Drag it behind you with an ore satchel in your pocket.
|-
![[File:Voucher.gif|32px]] Mining Voucher
|Found in your backpack, exchange this at the mining equipment locker for one of several selections which include various mining items.
|-
![[File:Seclite.png|32px]] Seclite
|A beefed up flashlight. Put this on your KA to free up inventory space.
|-
|}
====Miscellaneous Equipment====
Items that, while not critical to take, can be situationally useful.
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="80%" style="background-color:#EEEEFF;" class="wikitable sortable"
! scope="col" style="background-color:lightblue;" width=200|Item
! scope="col" class="unsortable" style="background-color:lightblue;" |Description
|-
![[File:Pickaxe.png|32px]] Pickaxe
|Somewhat antiquated thanks to the prevalence of the proto-kinetic accelerator and resonator. Nevertheless it can be used to dig wide tunnels, robust things in melee combat and as a backup if you lose your resonator. It can also fit inside a belt chest webbing.
|-
![[File:Shovel.png|32px]] Shovel
|Gathering sand. You can stick this in your backpack. A crappier version of a compact pickaxe
|-
![[File:Crowbar.png|32px]] [[Crowbar]]
|For removing KA mods, or just in case when there is a blackout. Spawns in your box.
|}
==Advanced Gear==
The following are more advanced items that need to be purchased from a mining equipment vendor, with credits:
====Voucher/Reward Equipment====
These items can either be acquired from a voucher, or can be bought with money/credits, usually earned from delivering ore to the [[Machines#Ore_Redemption_Machine|Ore Redemption Machine]] [[File:Ore_redemption.gif|link=Machines#Ore_Redemption_Machine|Ore Redemption Machine]] on the station. Prices are included.

!a750 Credits
|-
![[File:Kinetic_crusher.png|32px]] Proto-kinetic Crusher
|A powerful two-handed melee weapon. Shoots kinetic bolts that don't deal damage, but can mark large creatures making the hammer deal increased damage (20->50 Brute) when used on them. It will deal even greater damage (80) on backstab. What makes the Crusher special, is that enemies killed by it have a chance to drop '''trophies''', powerful "modkits" that can be attached to the Crusher.

|-
![[File:miningdrill.png|32px]] Mining Drill
|Can be acquired early on from RnD. It's twice as fast as the standard Pickaxe but is quickly superseded by better variants and is expensive for what it gives.
|-
![[File:diamonddrill.png|32px]] Diamond Tipped Mining Drill
|Very powerful drill, able to almost instantly mine mineral walls. Very expensive in terms of Diamonds needed to produce however.
|-
![[File:sonicjack.png|32px]] Sonic Jackhammer
|The epitome of mining. Can practically instantly mine through rock and walls. But it requires three times the Diamonds of a Diamond Tipped Drill.
|-
![[File:Modkit.png|32px]] KA Triggerguard Mod
|A modkit that will allow species that cannot normally fire guns to use the KA, such as golems and hulks.
|-
![[File:Modkit.png|32px]] KA Range Mod
|A modkit that increases your KA's range by 1.
|-
![[File:Modkit.png|32px]] KA Damage Mod
|A modkit that increases your KA's damage by 10.
|-
![[File:Modkit.png|32px]] KA Cooldown Mod
|A modkit that reduces your KA's cooldown by 0.25 seconds.
|-
![[File:Modkit.png|32px]] KA AoE Mining Mod
|A modkit that makes your KA mine rocks in a 3x3 AoE. It does not, however, deal AoE damage. You're usually better off carrying a plasma cutter to deal with rocks and keep the KA for combat.
|-
![[File:Plasma_Cutter.png|32px]] Plasma Cutter
|A fast mining (and welding) tool. Shoots rock-breaking bolts that pierce up to 5 rocks per shot. Rechargeable by inserting plasma ore or sheets into it. Less efficient in combat than a KA, however, and even less when in high pressure.
|-
![[File:Adv_plasma_cutter.gif|32px]] Advanced Plasma Cutter
|A very fast mining (and welding) tool. Shoots rock-breaking bolts that pierce up to 10 rocks per shot, basically allowing you to pierce rock as fast as you can walk. Rechargeable by inserting plasma ore or sheets into it.
|-
![[File:bluespacemining.png|32px]] Mining Satchel of Holding
|Very cheap mining satchel that can hold an unlimited amount of minerals and ore.
|-
![[File:NV_meson_glasses.gif|32px]] Night Vision Mesons
|These glasses work like normal mesons, but they can see perfectly in the darkness negating the need for flashlights in lavaland.

All of this gear is printed out at the supply department protolathe.
==The Wildlife==
Lavaland is filled with a variety of bloodthirsty alien lifeforms populating the caverns, walking just fine over the ponds and puddles of lava. Fortunately, you can fight them whilst taking minimal damage, if you have the know-how.

Useful items can be harvested from these creatures' corpses should you triumph; butcher them with a knife by attacking the corpse on Harm intent and the goods will spill out!

|-
![[File:legion.png|64px]] Legions
|Considered annoying at worst, and a free minor heal at best. These creatures unleash legion skulls, one after another at you whilst trying to keep a distance. Fortunately, each of its spawn dies in a single hit (even a single punch), and deal tickle damage to you; the legion itself can't directly hit you. It's best to go on the aggressive against these with pickaxe in hand, advancing constantly whilst picking away each of its brood. Once you've closed the gap or have it stuck in a corner, it's toast. If you fall unconscious while you're being attacked, however, you will instantly die and be turned into a Legion.
 
It drops a soul when killed. Hit yourself with the soul and it will give you a slowdown immunity for a while and slight heal (100 burn and 100 brute over time). Don't think you can store these for later, though -- they will spoil after a few minutes unless you use a stabilizer from the vending machine. Using more than one legion soul while another one is active will give you a virus that has to be cured with one of the Lavaland plants (use Health Analyzer for full info about cure) if you don't succeed, you're forever bound to lavaland unless your fellow Miners save you and clone you. Fun fact: Only active legion souls can be inserted in one's chest through [[surgery]] to provide a hands-free use of the legion soul, that will automatically activate if you fall into crit.
 
tl;dr strategy: '''Attack with your pickaxe/knife. Hack your way through the legion and its heads until the host is mush. Alternatively, two KA hits kill a Legion, or one KC mark detonation.'''
|'''Low'''
|-
![[File:watcher.png|64px]] Watchers
|Fierce, territorial beasts capable of firing freezing beams, cold enough to inflict serious freeze burns while the watcher closes in and attacks its immobilized target. Fortunately, they don't attack unless someone comes close to them, so if you don't feel confident, you can just wait until you have a few more goliath plates, or maybe some gibtonite.
 
Butcher a watcher for 2 pieces of diamond ore. '''Use your ore box for cover while shooting them with your KA from a distance.''' Alternatively, with a KC, '''close the distance before it shoots you, then alternate marking it and hitting it, and pop a survival pen afterwards.'''
 
Tip: Watchers are notably weak to explosions due to the nature of their bodies, taking over half their health in damage from even the weakest of explosions.
|'''Medium'''
|-
![[File:EdgyGoliath.png|64px]] Goliaths
|The bane of many careless miners. These monsters carry a hefty health pool, a mean wallop, and a deceptively dangerous ranged tentacle attack. They are inherently resistant to lasers, so using a KA is the best option regarding dealing with these. They move at a slow pace, stopping every couple seconds to burrow tentacles under you. These will trap you for a long duration if you stand on top of them for too long.
 
Fighting them is simple: '''Shoot, step back, shoot, avoid tentacles.''' Repeat this process until it stops moving. Alternatively, with a KC, '''get in mark range, mark it, run in, hit it, run out, avoid tentacles, repeat.'''
 
Butcher a goliath for its hide and its meat. Goliath plates can be used to reinforce your hardsuit and helmet a maximum of three times, allowing you to turn your suit into something closer to a piece of riot gear if you hunt some Goliaths. The meat can be cooked in lava.
|'''High'''
|-
![[File:Tendril.png|64px]] Necropolis Tendrils
|Huge spikes of organic matter, from the base of which crawl out countless monsters. Each Tendril only spawns one kind of monster, between legions, goliaths and watchers, every once in a while. The tendrils themselves are fairly fragile and will die in a few well-placed shots, if you can fight through the other mobs. Once killed, it will drop its loot, shake the earth around it for a while, and then spawn a huge chasm around it, destroying anything that did not get out of the way in time. Chasms are deadly even after formation and should be avoided.
 
Fighting them can involve killing all its protectors patiently, or using tactics like gibtonite. Either way, once killed, ignore the remaining monsters, grab the chest, and RUN.
 
When killed, they spawn necropolis chests which can contain a variety of useful artifacts, that usually cannot be found anywhere else. See the table below for the possible loot.
|'''Medium to Very High'''
|-
![[File:Goldgrub.png|64px]] Goldgrubs
|Mostly harmless and quite rare. These creatures swallow up any loose, valuable ore they can find and flee when approached by a human, smashing through even solid rock on their path of escape before burrowing into the ground. A tactic toward killing one is to throw an ore towards it, and quickly charging in to kill it while it's busy eating, but note that kinetic accelerator shots do nothing against these. Their skin is reflective, requiring a pickaxe melee smackdown to ensure a kill.
 
When killed, they spit up multiple pieces of ore, based on what they ate. Feed them many different types of ore before killing them, and they'll spit out more of each type than you gave it! Just don't let it get away after spooking it.
|'''None'''
|-
![[File:Ash_drake.png|128px]] [[Megafauna]]
|Extremely big and powerful creatures, that randomly spawn in [[lavaland]]. Each one of these emits a GPS Signal that can be tracked with your own GPS, to either seek or avoid them. 
To beat them and get their valuable loot, you must either have good equipment or be VERY good at dodging their attacks, as failure usually means not only death, but gibbing as well, meaning that unless you were clone-scanned your body is unrecoverable. 
Their slow speed means that you can usually outrun them, although you should be careful of not [[Traitor|letting them hitch a ride in the mining ferry]], as the station has very few weapons that can damage megafauna.
|'''EXTREME'''
|}
==Shiny Mobs==
Common lavaland mobs now have rare mutations. Common mining mobs have a 1% chance on initialize to gain a new appearance and new stats, however, this is 5% for legions.

![[File:Dwarflegion.png|64px]] Dwarf Legion
|On the rare occasion that a human with dwarfism falls to a legion, they can become infested like any other. Dwarf legions have 20 less health but move slightly faster.
 
It drops a soul, the exact same soul as dropped by the normal legion.
 
 It's still rather harmless. 2 KA shots kill it, a couple of pickax swings will knock it out.
|'''Low'''
|-
![[File:Magmawingwatcher.png|64px]] Magmawing Watcher
|Whenever a shiny watcher appears, (which is a 1% chance), there's a 75% chance that the mutant is going to be a magmawing watcher, and a 25% chance that it is going to be an icewing watcher. When raised very close to lava, some watchers adapt to the extreme heat and change coloration. Such watchers are known as magmawings and use intense heat as their tool for hunting and defense. The magmawing watcher shoots scorching blasts instead of freezing blasts, which heats you up and can set you on fire.
 
Unlike normal watchers, a shot from this watcher will set you on fire, and trying to roll it out will only result in the watcher getting more free shots on you, which means that you're pretty much forced to man up, pop a survival medi-pen, and melee it to death while you lose half of your HP to fire.
 
 It has normal watcher loot. It's really simply just not worth fighting.
|'''High'''
|-
![[File:Icewingwatcher.png|64px]] Icewing Watcher
|Whenever a shiny watcher appears, (which is a 1% chance), there's a 25% chance that the mutant is going to be an icewing watcher, and a 75% chance that it is going to be a magmawing watcher. Very rarely, some watchers will eke out an existence far from heat sources. In the absence of warmth, their wings will become papery and turn to an icy blue; these watchers are fragile but much quicker to fire their trademark freezing blasts. The icewing watcher has 50 less health and fire shots 33% more often, as well as dropping 5 diamonds and no sinew
 
It's a beefed up watcher which is more tanky and shoots more often. Treat it like a normal watcher, except you have to get into cover a bit quicker each time.
 
 It has normal watcher loot, but drops 5 diamonds instead of 2, and drops no sinew.
|'''High'''
|-
![[File:Ancientgoliath.png|64px]] Ancient Goliath
|Goliaths are biologically immortal, and rare specimens have survived for centuries. This one is clearly ancient, and its tentacles constantly churn the earth around it. Tentacles constantly extrude from the ground around it, even when it is not aggroed to any particular object.
 
It is recommended that you clear an area around the ancient goliath so that you can take shots at the ancient goliath without getting snagged by the tentacles. Once you've done that, just run circles around the thing while shooting at it, and dodging any emerging tentacles.
 
 When killed, they drop their goliath hide directly, more can be obtained through butchering.

|A cultist's hardsuit. It is very resistant to melee and bullet damage and fairly resistant to other kinds of damage; it also fits in backpacks.
|-
![[File:Soulstone.png|64px]]
|Soulstone
|A soulstone much like the kind used by a [[Blood Cult]] or by the chaplain on MetaStation, except it can be used multiple times. When used on an unconscious person or on a corpse it disintegrates it, and traps the soul inside the gem. The soul can then be released as a weak ghost bound to the will of the soulstone's owner, or it can be put into a construct shell, if you somehow own one.
|-

|A strange eye. It can be worn on the glasses slot to gain x-ray vision plus night vision, but it cannot be removed. If you find a second Eye of God, you can wear that on top of the existing one to form a pair of Eyes of God, which looks cool but has no real benefit.
|-
![[File:Flight_potion.png|64px]]
|Flight Potion ("Strange Elixir")
|A bottle containing 5 units of flight potion. Ingesting flight potion will turn the drinker into an angel: a human with wings.

|A voodoo doll. To link it to someone, grab a small item they have touched and insert it into the doll; using the doll will allow you to choose a target based on the fingerprints on the inserted item. 
* When using a hot item on it (I.E. welder/match/lighter) it will heat the target.
* When using a sharp item on it it will cause severe pain to the target, stunning it.
* When using a bike horn on it it will HONK him, also dealing ear damage.
* Setting the doll on fire will also set the target on fire.
* When using the doll while targeting the head, it will make the target dizzy.
* When using the doll while targeting an arm, the target will use that hand, or any item on it, on a random nearby mob.
* When using the doll while targeting a leg, it will move the target randomly by a step.
* When using the doll while targeting the eyes, it will allow the user to see through the target's eyes for ten seconds.
* When using the doll while targeting the mouth, it will force the target to speak a user-inputted sentence. Radio prefixes such as ; can be used.
After being used, the doll has a chance of revealing its general direction or, more rarely, the room it's in, to the target. If it's set on fire, it has a 100% chance of revealing the room. 
To remove the linking item from a doll, use it while you're targeting the chest.

==Xenoforms==
You're not always the only sentient being on the planet. Aside from the lovecraftian horrors living down there you may also content with several groups or factions of beings on the planet. Some hostile, some friendly.

The follow is a list of all known sentient groups found on the planet based on information sent from recon squads.
=====Podmen=====
Recon Expedition #4 
Threat Level: Minimal, Non Hostile 
Note: A small group of podmen were observed living inside a sealed vault. They appear minimally armed and seem to avoid leaving their home.
=====[[Ruins#Free Golem Ship|Golems]]=====
Recon Expedition #9 
Threat Level: Minimal, Non Hostile 
Note: A unidentified flying object was seen crashing by Recon Team Charlie during expedition #8. Alpha team on expedition #9 located a group of golems, the golems appeared utterly uninterested in their surroundings all things considered.
=====[[Ashwalkers]]=====
Recon Expedition #13 
Threat Level: Medium, Hostile 
Note: It appears a group of Basiliscus Lizretus, also known as Lizardmen, live on the planet, they are hostile to all intruders. These 'ashwalkers' only started to appear when mining operations started, they are agile but lightly armed, wielding primitively forged armor and spears. They appear to also have a hostile relationship with the wildlife, having been observed killing and dragging wildlife corpses away, as to why they need these corpses the recon team is unable to ascertain.
===== Syndicate Agents =====
Recon Expedition #45 
Threat Level:Extreme, Hostile 
Notes: It has come to attention that the syndicate (direct corporation/group unknown) has recently set up a large compound in lavaland. This may explain where expedition #38-44 has gone. They are equipped with high end weaponry and has been stated that trace bits of gunpowder has been found around the lava moat that the base is stationed in, suggesting that this base may be wired to self-destruct. We also detected radio waves coming and going from the compound. If found, turn back and report to your superiors immediately.
==The Ores==
These are what you should be looking out for, generally try and get a good mix of the more exotic ore types. Iron ore is ok but it sells for little and is highly abundant on the station already.

!Uncommon
|For <s>trolling miners</s> blowing shit up, whether they be solid asteroid or [[Traitor|other things]]. Hitting it with your mining tools will start a chain reaction. If you don't stop the reaction with your mining scanner in time, the gibtonite will explode. If you do, you can mine the ore, pick it up (you need both hands free) and use it as an explosive. The closer the gibtonite was to exploding before defused, the more potent its power. Cannot be forged or turned in to the [[Machines#Ore_Redemption_Machine|Ore Redemption Machine]] [[File:Ore_redemption.gif|link=Machines#Ore_Redemption_Machine|Ore Redemption Machine]], so don't bring any of this to the station or else you'll be <s>arrested</s> ignored by security because they don't know what the hell it is. Gibtonite can be used to craft a [[Makeshift_weapons#Chemical_Payload|Chemical Payload]] [[File:ChemPayload.gif]]. 
How to obtain Gibtonite: Hit ore, count to 8 flashes of the ore then hit it with your scanner. Gibtonite varies in the number of reactions it has, so you may get lower quality ore. Use 2 of the 0 reaction ores (the most potent) to blow open the AI core and make it cry at it's malf failure!

===Who Needs What===
Miners don't have to deliver ores directly to departments -- they can if they want, or if those bastards are too lazy to leave their fortress of <s>autism</s> science -- but it never hurts to know what to aim for.
* [[Scientist]]s at least a bit of every ore. In exchange, they may give you upgrades for your Kinetic Accelerator, a [[Plasma Cutter]], a [[Research_items#Mining Satchel of Holding|Mining Satchel of Holding]], and, if you're lucky, Night Vision Meson Scanners or a [[Bag of Holding]]!
* [[Roboticist]]s need diamond, uranium, silver and gold for building mech parts. Give them enough and you've indirectly helped out most of the departments on the station if the Roboticists are competent enough to build helpful stompy mechs for everybody! Too bad the lavaproof Firefighter is the only good mech for mining.
* The [[Quartermaster]] may want mineral sheets to trade them in for bonus supply credits. Plasma in particular is both common and valuable.
* Everybody could always use more iron, glass and plasteel, but especially Roboticists and [[Station Engineer]]s.
* The [[Chemist]] and [[Guide to xenobiology|Xenobiologist]] will all appreciate having extra plasma.
* A competent [[Virologist]] can use several sheets of uranium to create incredibly powerful healing viruses that let you heal out of crit in two seconds.
* A [[Clown]] with Bananium is a grateful and dangerous ally.
* The [[Bartender]] can use a few sheets of uranium or iron to craft some of his rarest cocktails.
==Secrets of Lavaland==
While on Lavaland, you may come upon artificial structures. They can have items ranging from magical artifacts, to other lifeforms, to [[Aliens|alien facehugger]]s. If you are at all unsure, always let your mining buddies know using :u before going in: some ruins can be very dangerous.
==Tips==
* Always go with at least two other people when mining. Not only can you mine faster together, the chance that they could both be 'lings/traitors is rather low. Pickaxe to the skull tends to put down most people.
* You can view the contents of a mining satchel as if it were a backpack.
* Middle mouse click swaps your hand, allowing you to shoot minerals and grat them with the satchel quickly.
* Minebots are great at distracting monsters. Just walk near and bash the distracted target with your drill. They can take quite a beating, though goliaths can take them down pretty quickly if you're not quick enough. Plus they collect all the crap gibtonite left.
* The Proto-kinetic Accelerator can destroy electrified grilles without needing a pair of insulated gloves.
* The Proto-kinetic Accelerator will obliterate a space carp in one hit while in space.
* You can dual wield PKAs. Use harm intent to fire both at once.
* The Head of Personnel may reward you with all access if you resurrect Ian. Also, sometimes the Research Director will reward you for a pet gold grub.
* If you're expecting trouble on the station, consider taking out a window on the mining shuttle before you return to make a quick getaway so you're not trapped like a rat in a cage.
* The mining drone can be repaired with a welding tool, but not in the middle of a fight. A goliath will always win in a one on one fight with a mining drone.
* You could alternatively buy the drone, fully upgrade it, give it an AI Module, and tell it to go valid-hunt. A mining drone dragging a bar of soap is surprisingly robust against even changelings.
* Life improving things:
** Mining suit upgrade : Goliath plates add +10% melee resist each time when applied to a suit. The plates will stack until they reach 30%, which may help you live in case a goliath grabs you.
** Security Jumpsuit : This gives a +10% melee resist to everywhere but your head. Nag the QM or HoP to give you one.
** Augmentations : Augs are VERY useful for miners, as healing with a welder is ultimately easier. Plus they work differently than armor when it comes to protection, instead reducing all brute damage taken by an augmented body part by 5 (4 for burn). Also they are ashproof. If you get fully augumented, you are ash storm proof. Downside : EMP vulnerability.
* Kinetic accelerators can be used as infinite tools to navigate space, since every time you fire, it'll throw you in the opposite direction.
* Sentient minebots can very easily be commanded to go help security if there is an [[Nuclear Operative|imminent]] [[Clockwork Cult|threat]] to the station. Their melee saw is very robust, and works just as well as on the station as it is on lavaland. The proto-kinetic accelerator that they are equipped with is very robust when in space.
* If you dont have a mining satchel of holding, and no ore box, you can deconstruct tables in the library (the curator is probably too busy organizing a game of D&D to really care much) to obtain wooden planks. You can then use these wooden planks to fabricate an ore box.
* If science hasn't researched Advanced Mining Technology within 10 minutes of the start of the shift, please remind them. There is normally at least 1 single person in science competent enough to do so.
==Dead Space==
A traitorous miner has a lot of advantages. You have a space suit for free right away and a robust pickaxe. Certain minerals you'll find have more "specialized" uses -- uranium structures will irradiate people, plasma can start fires, gibtonite goes boom. You can also buy dangerous "mining" tools and possibly even revive those monsters you've been fighting. As long as you have some mineral wealth or an ore box with you, no one will suspect your presence around the station, even in highly restricted areas like robotics or toxins, and if you are smart enough, you could get a big stompy mech to drill people to death! In addition, Lavaland is isolated, dangerous, and as expansive as you're willing to dig out. Plenty of room for somebody to get lost in... ''Forever!''
===Tips for Traitoring===
* If you're a miner and you have to kill another miner; there's a really easy way to block communications one way so he can't call for help.
** Grab a multitool, go to the mining communications room.
** Use the multi tool on the relay and make sure the relay isn't sending, meaning your headset won't go to people on the station.
** Kill your target with their shouts for help unheard.
* You can get plasma at exactly the heat you need for canister bombs by welding a plasma door in vacuum. Use an air pump to take it, then put [REDACTED] KPa into an empty large tank (the size of plasma, emergency O2, etc). You can then ignite it with a can of pure O2 set to release at 1013.25 KPa. This is the Shaft Miner's canister bomb. It's easy to set up on Lavaland.
* More than one uranium wall is hilariously deadly, as they give off a pulse of radiation every couple of seconds. This pulse makes other uranium walls in range pulse as well, and they all run on their own timer.
* Tiers 0-1-2-3 can gib bodies, remember mining suits take 50% of damage away from bombs, so strip miners you want to make disappear forever first.
*Ripley is a fairly robust murdering tool, if you can, convince robotics to put a gravity catapult on it. '''SLAM PEOPLE INTO WALLS. THE SUFFERING NEVER ENDS.'''
*Space is your best ally. Your weapons are more lethal in space, and anyone who wants to chase you will need access to a jetpack and EVA gear. Make people fight on your terms by blowing up the station with various Gibtonite charges, or bust in, stun and drag targets into space.
*You can make a chemical payload container using any shitty bit of gibtonite. This can be useful for making chemical bombs, but it relies on knowing how to obtain specific chemicals that can be robust and accessible to a Miner.
====Tips for Culting====
If you're a miner, [[Mining Station]] is the perfect hive for a cult. The back room can easily be broken down by Constructs, runes can be placed, and a single artificer can make it very difficult for Security to try and raid. Remember to cut cameras, so a Non-Asimov AI doesn't bolt and electrocute every door. Remember to use Teleport other to get Cultists off station and into safe custody. All the station needs is a Medibot and you are golden.
