necromanceranne b830ba11b7 Research Directors are now strong (the Athletics trait, that is). Suplexing a rod is an incredible workout. (#83269)
## About The Pull Request

Grants the Research Director TRAIT_STRENGTH via their skill chip. This
trait is only relevant to athletics-related activities. They still need
to actually do the workout before they see any results.

Fitness bros will overestimate the RD's power level due to their ability
to suplex an immovable rod.

Suplexing a rod grants an incredible amount of athletics skill,
increased by how many people the rod has taken out. The frequency of
this happening is bound to be pretty small, but it's a nice in-round
reward for accomplishing the task (and maybe blowing up a department as
a result), and also potentially a large number of casualties on top of
that.

## Why It's Good For The Game

The athletics changes didn't acknowledge that there is already someone
on the station that is, for some reason, unnaturally stronger than
everyone else. The Research Director. So now, fitness bros think they're
naturally swole. Mind over matter, I guess?

I just think it'd be funny if by suplexing the rod once, you gain
incredible physical power and then need to take a nap because boy that
sure was an explosive amount of strength you had to apply. Since this
only happens with looping rods, I don't imagine it will disrupt fitness
as a skill too much.

## Changelog
🆑
add: The Research Director is now actually strong.
add: Fitness bros will determine the Research Director to be stronger
than they actually are, without even working out. How does he do it?
balance: Suplexing a rod grants a large burst of athletics experience.
add: The more sentient casualties of the rod, the more experience
suplexing that rod grants. Absorb the souls of the weak and feeble.
