	As a research station, there are a lot of departments of research; the study of space viruses is one of those research departments! Congratulations doctor, you have been selected to study and treat various types of viruses, and create valuable vaccines. So grab your [[latex gloves]] and get your [[breath mask]] on and hole yourself up in [[Virology]], it is time to perform some disease research.

	Unlike Robert Nevile, you will not have a huge kick-ass adventure while making diseases. You will sit in your lab and likely fuck up constantly. Just make sure the [[Chemist]] or the [[Chief Medical Officer]] are around (and attentive) or you won't be able to cure uncommon diseases and might have an outbreak. Curing diseases is typically first done by [[Chemist\|chemists]], but it's your job to turn cured blood into a vaccine, which is a much more effective treatment.

	Viruses can get loose on the station in many ways: [[random events]], [[traitor]]ous activity, and the most common way of all: your own incompetence. If you accidentally infect someone with a harmful virus, well, there is not much you can do except quarantine, treat, and ensure they aren't infectious before releasing them. Make sure only people that know [[Beyond the impossible\|exactly what they're doing]] can enter your room. Warn people beforehand that you're conducting experiments and remember to vaccinate yourself once you research a disease.

	Viruses don't always have to be something to be avoided. With a bit of work, you can engineer friendly viruses that come with a number of beneficial symptoms, such as eliminating the need to breathe, or even one that lets the body regenerate its own health when badly hurt. Just make sure you clear it with the [[CMO]] and let the station know what your friendly virus does before releasing it, or you might find yourself at the end of a pitchfork.

	Releasing a pandemic is a good way to cause chaos, creating a convenient cover for illicit activities, or straight out murdering most of the crew. As always, protecting yourself from the disease is most important. Be conservative, however. If the crew finds out it was you who released the disease, they'll be out for your blood. Releasing bad diseases (even from neglect) when not a traitor is an easy way to be banned.

	If for some reason you don't want to spread terrible death everywhere, your office is secluded and difficult to get into, making it a common base for [[cult]] activity. Don't forget to cut the cameras.
