About The Pull Request
Adds the Enhanced Interrogation Chamber as a BEPIS reward.
This security-only machine is able to implant a deep-rooted trigger phrase onto a subject; if they hear that phrase after the procedure, they will immediately enter a state of hypnotic trance, which can be used to demand truthful answers for your ongoing investigation.
The enslavement of criminal and non-criminal subjects is frowned upon by space law. Do not abuse the Enhanced Interrogation Chamber for personal gain.
Bad choice or mishandling of trigger words may lead to loss of control over the subject.
Side effects include dizziness, nausea, confusion, vomit, loss of eyesight, violent tendencies, loss of sanity, depression, oppression, loss of free will, spontaneous hypnotic trance, loss of hair, death.
Use with care.
Why It's Good For The Game
Make your own Manchurian Candidate!
Allows "rehabilitation" of dangerous criminals by security, which is more interesting than straight-up execution.
Could lead to fun situations if a team antag is caught and forced to be a mole.
It could also be used by any antag who manages to get to the sec protolathe.
However, the "conversion" is still shaky! The main cure is surgery, as the triggered trance is effectively just a brain trauma, healable with surgery. On top of this, even if the subject is unable to hear their trigger phrase, if someone else knows it they can override commands at any time. Even if that doesn't happen, it's possible that another message sneaks in before you can give your command, intercepting the hypnosis.
On top of this, the chamber has a 10% chance of giving the hypnotic stupor trauma instead of the triggered trance, making the subject even more of a wildcard.
Effectively, this is a very powerful tool in the antag-vs-security conflict, but over-reliance on it will probably bite back in amusing ways.

Round 2.

Adds a new tech to be unlocked within the B.E.P.I.S.'s major techs, called "Specialized Engineering". Within that tech are 2 new items, Heat Resistant Rods, and the Tinker's Gloves, as well as a new minor tech, the Survival Pen.
Heat Resistant Rods:
Have you ever wanted to expand Lavaland Base? Build a lava fortress worthy of your magnificence? Well, now you can! Using Heat Resistant Rods, you can make a catwalk to cross lava tiles, as well as build atop lava, without messy methods like using the RCD!
Tinker's Gloves:
This just in engineers, insulated gloves have new competition in town! The Tinker's gloves are complicated, overdesigned gloves that, while not very shockproof, allow for faster wall girder construction. No longer will you need to die of old age walling off an area when you're out of RCD ammo! Warning: This product contains no likeness to clockwork gauntlets used by the extinct cult of Rat'Var, and any such similarity is by no means intentional.
Survival Pen:
Have you ever been stuck on lavaland, trapped by your survival pod with just a few chairs, some titanium walls, and walls of ash closing in on you? Well THANK GOD you have your Rockbreaker brand Survival Pen! Allows for basic mining operations, and is portable like a standard pen!
BUT WAIT!
A watcher blocks your path. Thankfully, your expensive, diamond encrusted pen isn't just good for being the world's slowest pickaxe, it's ALSO coated in the one thing watchers crave: DIAMONDS. Toss the pen to draw the watcher's attention elsewhere.
Why It's Good For The Game
Starts to fill our B.E.P.I.S. Major Reward Techs, as intended, and fills a niche that doesn't get much play nowadays: Building on Lavaland. This was something I've had in the back of my mind since we did the first tests of the Disaster gamemode a few months ago, so each item here was made with the intention of improving the mining base should the station become un-livable. Lava-Proof Rods are beneficial in that you'll be able to cross and build over lava by the mid-end of the shift. RCDs still work as usual, but this way you won't have to worry about getting specialized engineering equipment as a member of cargo or science. The tinker's gloves are basically a variant of the nitrile gloves, but they grant a speed bonus to adding plating to metal girders, so that some kind of functional alternative to giving every engineer insulated gloves.
Survival Pens are quite honestly very niche, but getting dumb pens with extra functionality is a tradition of trade shows all over the world, so it feels right at home as a minor reward.
Also, does a tiny change to the doe sprites, just to look a little bit less old.
Changelog
cl
add: A new Technology has been implemented as a major reward in the B.E.P.I.S., Specialized Engineering, to appeal to engineering utility and new construction horizons.
tweak: Watchers will now actively consume diamond ore left lying around, alongside the new survival pens.

About The Pull Request
When #48236 was in progress, there was discussion about how a crew pinpointer was OP for paramedics. I immediately had an idea for a new one and made a PR to the paramedic PR. 81Denton asked me to make this its own PR after the paramedic PR was merged.
The proximity crew pinpointer does not point in the direction of the patient, but has a circle sprite that gets smaller larger as you get closer, so you have to search around, or combine it with the handheld crew monitor.
The circle is at maximum the smallest size after 29 tiles away, so you must be 28 or fewer tiles away for an indication that you are getting close. I welcome feedback on this. The handheld crew monitor can be used to find the area they are in.
proxpin
Demo video: https://youtu.be/_rXeJ49b-e8 (The pinpointer gets bigger rather than smaller now)
This is only attainable at the moment to paramedics as they spawn. Should it also be available elsewhere? now constructable from the Biological Technology techweb
Further changes
Moved Crew Pinpointer into premium nanomed items for 900 credits
Moved Handheld Crew monitor into premium nanomed items for 1750 credits, same price as before
Why It's Good For The Game
In #48236 it was stated that paramedics should start with the bare minimum equipment to do their job. The crew pinpointer that points them in exactly the right direction is pretty powerful, and this nerf will encourage them to either get used to the proximity one, or upgrade to the normal one at a price from the NanoMed or from techwebs.
Moving the Crew Monitor into premium was necessary to make it more of a luxury than an instant grab.
Feedback for nanomed premium prices on the normal pinpointer and the handheld monitor would help a lot
Changelog
cl JJRcop
add: New proximity crew pinpointer.
balance: Paramedic's crew pinpointer replaced with proximity crew pinpointer.
balance: The crew monitor was moved to premium items in nanomed, same with the handheld crew pinpointer

I have also shortened the description.
Several of the greps were missing the `-P` switch which caused them to
fail to match things. The EOL grep also wasn't working right so I
replaced it with the one I added to TGMC.
cl
add: Plumbing equipment is now available through the medical protolathe. It's under medical machinery boards
add: Add's a new chemistry area on metastation for chemical factories. It's located left of main surgery.
tweak: Chemistry has been turned into the Apothecary. It's basically normal chemistry, but Medical Doctors have acces aswell.
tweak: The smoke machine is now plumbing compatible. Put this knowledge to good use.
sprite: Thanks to @CRITAWAKETS for the plumbing RCD sprite!
/cl
Finally adds plumbing to the game!
Chemistry has been turned into the apothecary. For all intents and purposes it's old chem, but doctors have acces.
West of main surgery is now the new chemistry factory area.
I've also had to move stuff around alot, because you can't just add a big new room without having stuff in the way.
Currently only on metastation. I'm completely drained from adding it to meta alone and doing all maps right now will burn me out.
