<h1>OPERATING MANUAL FOR MK 1 PROTOTYPE THERMOELECTRIC SUPERMATTER ENGINE 'TOMBOLA'</h1>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<h2>OPERATING PRINCIPLES</h2>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<li>The supermatter crystal serves as the fundamental power source of the engine. Upon being charged, it begins to emit large amounts of heat and radiation, as well and oxygen and phoron gas. As oxygen accelerates the reaction and reacts with phoron to start a fire, it must be filtered out. It's recommended to filter out all gases besides phoron for standard operation. </li>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<li>Gas in the reactor chamber housing the supermatter is circulated through the reactor loop, which passes through the filters and thermoelectric generators. The thermoelectric generators transfer heat from the reactor loop to the colder radiator loop, thereby generating power. Additional power is generated from internal turbines in the circulators.</li>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<li>Gas in the radiator loop is circulated through the radiator bank, located in space. This rapidly cools the air, preserving the temperature differential needed for power generation.</li>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<li>The MK 1 Prototype Thermoelectric Supermatter Engine is designed to operate at reactor temperatures of 3000K to 4000K and generate up to 1MW of power. Beyond 1MW, the thermoelectric generators will begin to lose power through electrical discharge, reducing efficiency, but additional power generation remains feasible.</li>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<li>The crystal structure of the supermatter will begin to liquefy if its temperature exceeds 5000K. This eventually results in a massive release of light, heat and radiation, disintegration of both the supermatter crystal and most of the surrounding area, and as as-of-yet poorly documented psychological effects on all animals within a 2km radius. Appropriate action should be taken to stabilize or eject the supermatter before such occurs.</li>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<h2>SUPERMATTER HANDLING</h2>
|
||
<li>Do not expose supermatter to oxygen.</li>
|
||
<li>Do not allow supermatter to contact any solid object apart from specially-designed supporting pallet.</li>
|
||
<li>Do not directly view supermatter without meson goggles.</li>
|
||
<li>While handles on pallet allow moving the supermatter via pulling, pushing should not be attempted.</li>
|
||
<li>Note that prosthetics do not protect against radiation or viewing the supermatter.</li>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<h2>STANDARD STARTUP PROCEDURE</h2>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Fill reactor loop and radiator loop with two (2) standard canisters (1871.75 moles, 20 celsius) of phoron gas each.</li>
|
||
<li>Fill the waste handling radiator loop with one (1) standard canister (1871.75 as well) of carbon dioxide gas.</li>
|
||
<li>You can confirm your canisters got enough gas in them by using your PDA's "Gas Scanner" feature, you must enable it and press your PDA against the canister.</li>
|
||
<li>Enable both the high power gas pumps near the thermo-electric generators and maximize the desired output.</li>
|
||
<li>Enable both the omni-filters and ensure they are set to filter phoron back into the system.</li>
|
||
<li>Enable the gas pump from the filters to waste handling and maximize the desired output.</li>
|
||
<li>Close the monitoring room blast doors and open the reactor blast doors,</li>
|
||
<li>Fire 12-16 pulses from emitter at supermatter crystal. The expected power output is around a megawatt. NOTE: It will take a few minutes to heat up.</li>
|
||
<li>You can confirm desired power levels by checking the computer in the minotoring room, "Supermatter Monitoring". You want 300 EPR, more is safe but no higher than 700</li>
|
||
<li>Close the reactor blast doors and keep the monitoring room blast doors closed to prevent radiation leaking.</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<h2>OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE</h2>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Ensure that radiation protection and meson goggles are worn at all times while working in the engine room.</li>
|
||
<li>Ensure that reactor and radiator loops are undamaged and unobstructed.</li>
|
||
<li>Ensure that, in a standard setup, only phoron is being filtered back into the system. Do not allow exhaust pressure to exceed 4500 kPa.</li>
|
||
<li>Ensure that engine room Area Power Controller (APC) and engine Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage unit (SMES) are properly charged.</li>
|
||
<li>Ensure that reactor temperature does not exceed 5000K. In event of reactor temperature exceeding 5000K, see EMERGENCY COOLING PROCEDURE.</li>
|
||
<li>In event of imminent and/or unavoidable delamination, see EJECTION PROCEDURE.</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<h2>EMERGENCY COOLING PROCEDURE</h2>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Open Emergency Cooling Valve 1 and Emergency Cooling Valve 2.</li>
|
||
<li>When reactor temperature returns to safe operating levels, close Emergency Cooling Valve 1 and Emergency Cooling Valve 2.</li>
|
||
<li>Adding additional gas to the loops can have a positive effect in reducing reactor temperature.</li>
|
||
<li>If reactor temperature does not return to safe operating levels, see EJECTION PROCEDURE.</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<h2>EJECTION PROCEDURE</h2>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Ensure the engine room has power. The blast doors and ejection platform are unresponsive without power.</li>
|
||
<li>Press Engine Ventilatory Control button to open engine core blast door to space. (In CE Office and next to the reactor shroud)</li>
|
||
<li>Press Emergency Core Eject button to eject supermatter crystal. (In CE Office, only) NOTE: Attempting crystal ejection while engine core vent is closed will result in ejection failure.</li>

<h1>OPERATING MANUAL FOR MK 2 PROTOTYPE TESLA ENGINE 'EDISON'S BANE'</h1>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<h2>OPERATING PRINCIPLES</h2>
|
||
<p>This big floaty ball of pure electricity can only be contained by the containment field. It periodically will discharge energy in the form of an electric shock which can be harvested for energy.</p>
|
||
<p>When you shoot the energy ball with the Particle Accelerator, it gains energy, and when enough energy is accumulated a mini-energy ball that orbits the big energy ball will be formed. This can happen as many times as you let it, each mini-ball will send off an extra shock when the energy ball pulses. Be warned, the more mini-balls the energy ball has, the more shocks it sends out at once and the further it can travel each move.</p>
|
||
<p>An energy ball will shoot bolts of electricity off at conductors, which it prioritizes in this order:
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Tesla coils</li>
|
||
<li>Grounding rods</li>
|
||
<li>People and animals</li>
|
||
<li>Machines</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Tesla Coils will attract the energy ball's bolts. They will take half the power of the bolt (if they are connected to a wire node), pump it into the powernet it is hooked to, and then will send the other half of the power to the next available conductor, which follows the criteria listed above. Preferably, this will be another coil to harness more of the power and pump it into the grid.</p>
|
||
<p>Grounding Rods are safety precautions to prevent the tesla bolts from hitting machinery or personnel. If the tesla is loose, being near one will usually keep you safe from direct shocks.</p>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<h2>STARTUP PROCEDURE</h2>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Bolt and weld down the Field Generators, ensuring they form a complete rectangle.</li>
|
||
<li>Bolt and weld down the Emitters, ensuring their fire will strike the corner Field Generators</li>
|
||
<li>Bolt down the Tesla Generator inside the rectangle formed by the Field Generators in a spot where it will be struck by fire from the Particle Accelerator</li>
|
||
<li>Bolt down Telsa Coils and Grounding Rods</li>
|
||
<li>Activate the Emitters</li>
|
||
<li>Activate each of the Field Generators, then wait until the containment field has completely formed.</li>
|
||
<li>Setup the Particle Accelerator (see our best seller "} + span_italics(""Particle Accelerator User's Guide"") + {"!) and activate it.</li>
|
||
<li>After a short time the Telsa Generator will create an energy ball, being consumed in the process.</li>

<h1>OPERATING MANUAL FOR R-UST MK 8 FUSION CORE 'TOKAMAK'</h1>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<h2>OPERATING PRINCIPLES</h2>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<li>The Tokamak is a system built that generates power off of two systems. The fusion core, AKA, the MK 8 R-UST. And the TEGs located <mark>north</mark> of the reactor shroud. </li>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<li> Using a projected field within the shroud, fuel and reactors can be kept stable and produce heat and radiation relatively safely in a controlled environment. </li>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<li> Using a gyrotron as a sort of catalyst, fuel can be ignited in carefully calculated methods, this reaction takes place in the <i>aforementioned</i> projected field. </li>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<li> While ensuring radiation is kept within the reactor chamber, and the reactor shroud, heat is allowed to be pumped and cycled to power a TEG <mark>north</mark> of the shroud, as well as a cycling coolant pipe using the temperatures of the space, or in your case, Sif's atmospheric temperatures. </li>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<li> Using the TEG to produce a small amount of energy, the R-UST can be initiated, causing a reaction that can create energy to then allow the TEG to create more energy, as well as have the R-UST produce energy on its own. These two methods together ensure the SMES and outpost both remained powered. </li>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<h2>REACTOR HANDLING</h2>
|
||
<li> Ensure you are wearing all required protective equipment when within the reactor chamber at all times. It is advised to also wear this suit in the engine control room. The minimum requires is a full radiation suit equipped with a sealed hood. Mesons are <em>not</em> required to be worn. </li>
|
||
<li> When the R-UST is not powered, both the engine control room and the shroud may be opened. When the R-UST is powered, is it safe to leave the shroud open <b>only if the engine control room is sealed</b>. </li>
|
||
<li> Wearing insulated gloves over your radiation suit is also considered good practice, however it is <em>not</em> required to be worn. </li>
|
||
<li> In order to start the R-UST and TEG system, you must be equipped with at minimum a wrench, basic knowledge of piping, the ability to follow instructions, and preferably, the ability to read or be read this guide by someone else. </li>
|
||
<li> The reactor may in rare instances require a secondary power source to start it, if this is the case, see <ins>ADDITIONAL INFORMATION <strong>1.</strong></ins> below. </li>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<h2>TEG STANDARD STARTUP PROCEDURE</h2>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li> <mark>North</mark> of the shroud lays the TEG. You will need to go there. The standard piping has a green cold loop set of pipes and a yellow hot loop set of pipes. <i>Remember that the reactor heats up the gas that is cycling through the hot loop, so it must be able to be cycle into and out of the reactor chamber freely, there is a cyan pipe that is directly connected to the reactor's core room to allow this to happen.</i> </li>
|
||
<li> The <mark>green</mark> cold loop is first as it takes longer to fill. <b>First</b> power and max the main cool-loop valve, this is located <ins>at the very north-west</ins> corner of the room. Remember that the red mark on a valve refers to which direction the valve allows gas to flow. Now power and max the <mark>north</mark> most valve that connects the cold-loop to the intake, and wrench a phoron canister to the intake. If you would like, skip to step four and return to step three after completing it. </li>
|
||
<li> Once the phoron canister is empty, unwrench it and replace it with a second canister and wrench it down in the original canister's place. The cold-loop requires two canisters of phoron gas to remain stable and safe. <i>Once the cold-loop is set up, you may power down the <b>intake</b> pipe, located adjacent <ins>south-west</ins> of the intake connector port</i>. </li>
|
||
<li> Next you will look to the hot-loop, due to contamination this loop has two ports for canisters. The <i>left</i> port is the intake. The <i>right</i> port is the outlet. For the purposes of simplicity, <b>ignore the right outlet port and valve</b> Wrench a CO<sup>2</sup> canister to the intake port and open and max the intake valve. </li>
|
||
<li> Once the CO<sup>2</sup> canister is empty, unwrench it and replace it with a second canister and wrench it down in the original canister's place. The hot-loop requires two canisters of CO<sup>2</sup> to remain stable and safe. <i>Once the hot-loop is set up, you may power down the <b>intake</b> pipe, located directly <ins>south</ins> of the intake connector port</i>.</li>
|
||
<li> While not <i>required</i> there is an omni-filter you can set-up and power on <mark>just north</mark> of the reactor shroud. It can be used to filter gas out of reactor, it is not required, however, and can be safely ignored for standard basic set-up of TEG and R-UST alike. </li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<h2>R-UST STANDARD STARTUP PROCEDURE</h2>
|
||
<h1>The Engine Control Room and what to know.</h1>
|
||
<li> <b><ins>Gyrotron Controller</ins></b> <em>This is the terminal located on the far <mark>west</mark> and controls the gyrotron. This device can be viewed as the catalyst that causes the reaction within the core and must remain turned on <b>only during use</b></em>. </li>
|
||
<li> <b><ins>Fuel Injector Control</b></ins> <em>This is the terminal <mark>adjacent</mark> to the gyrotron controller, it controls the injectors that pump fuel into the reactor core chamber and must remained turned on <b>only when in use <ins>and</ins> with the projection field powered and active</b></em>. </li>
|
||
<li> <b><ins>R-UST Core Monitoring</ins></b> <em>This is the terminal in the <mark>middle</mark> of the room. It gives you information about the status of the reactor, the core chamber, and the reaction going on within the R-UST</em>.</li>
|
||
<li> <b><ins>Engine Cooling Control</ins></b> <em>This is the terminal directly <mark>in front of you</mark> when you walk into the engine control room. This terminal controls the cooling pumps and systems within the R-UST core</em>. </li>
|
||
<li> <b><ins>Shroud Controls</ins></b> <em>There are two buttons that control and cycle the monitoring room shroud and the reactor core shroud. These are located <mark>on the sides</mark> of the monitoring room. The reactor shroud should be left open during setup. And the monitoring room shroud should be left shut <b>after</b> setup is complete</em>. </li>
|
||
<li> <b><ins>Deuterium</ins></b> <em>The standard set-up for your R-UST reaction is Deuterium-Dueterium. Go to the fuel storage chamber <mark>east</mark> of the reactor shroud and ensure you have two rods on hand for set-up. You may safely grab <b>two</b> of these rods now and insert them into the two <mark>southern</mark> fuel injectors. If you do, skip the first step below</em>.</li>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li> Collect two (2) deuterium fuel rods from the fuel storage chamber and socket them into any two fuel injectors. <i>It is adviced to use the two <mark>southern</mark> injectors to allow for easier visual checks from the engine control room.</i> </li>
|
||
<li> Assuming the room and controls are powered open both the reactor shroud and the control room shroud. If the room is not powered (which you can check by looking at the R-UST Core Monitor and seeing if the buttons are greyed out or not, if they are grey it does not have enough power). If it is unpowered or otherwise does not have sufficient power see <ins>ADDITIONAL INFORMATION <strong>1.</strong></ins> below.</li>
|
||
<li> Now, please ensure everyone in the engine control room is wearing full radiation protection gear, ensure the control room door will not be opened during set-up to prevent radiation leakage. </li>
|
||
<li> Using the R-UST Core Monitor, set <mark><b>Field Strength</b></mark> to fifty-one (51). <em>This is the minimum required to catch all injected fuel, anything lower will not be strong enough to be safe, too much higher and it could cause instability that will result in an EMP of your equipment. <i>If you read slowly, read the next steps before turning this online, as the field requires a lot of upkeep power. Once you have done so or are ready to move on, turn on the field and continue.</i></em></li>
|
||
<li> Using the Fuel Injector, turn on the two (2) injectors that have deuterium in them. <em>Understand that this alone will not cause a reaction, but using other fuel reagents, such as a tritium, the reactions would begin after this step.</em></li>
|
||
<li> Finally, using the gyrotron controller, step the fire delay to three (3) and the strength to one (1). Turn it on and close <b>the engine control room shroud</b> before leaving to reduce risks of radiation leakage.</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<h2>OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE</h2>
|
||
<li> Past this point you do not need to actively maintain the field. So long as the injectors and shield projectors are powered, the system is self-sustaining, even using the excess heat to power the TEG system <mark>north</mark> of the reactor shroud.</li>
|
||
<li> From here-on, understand that the room is now flooded with radiation, you will need to wear a full radiation-suit when going into either the engine control room, or the reactor chamber or core.</li>
|
||
<li> You will notice a jump in temperature. The pattern should be easy to spot, as the R-UST heats up slowly until a reaction happens. When that reaction happens, that is when you will notice the spike. Ensuring the room is constantly flooded with cycling a CO<sup>2</sup> coolant to ensure safe temperatures.</li>
|
||
<li> The majority of power created by this standard set-up is from the TEG, and not the actual R-UST itself. This means the R-UST can be left with lower reactives inside of it, while still ensuring the outpost is powered. Knowing this, you can also safely leave the outpost and acknowledge that periodic temperature checks are recommended. </li>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<h2>ADDITIONAL INFORMATION</h2>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li> To the <mark>east</mark> of the shroud there are three doors, the north room is the equipment storage room, the central room is the fuel storage room, and south is the SMES room. Ensure you check that both SMES are turned on before reading further... <i> if the SMES are fully unpowered, go to the <mark>north</mark> door and find the standard PACMAN and phoron prepared for you in the storage room. You insulted gloves, wire coils, and the aforementioned PACMAN/phoron for this.</i> Once you are prepared, bring the PACMAN to the SMES room. That is the <mark>south</mark> room, wire it up to the TEG lines and power the PACMAN with phoron. </li><br>
|
||
<li> Due to the TEG generating such a high amount of power, you can safely go into the SMES chamber and max out the INPUT and OUTPUT to both SMES units. One will ensure that even in the rare event of a TEG shutdown, the R-UST will have enough power to allow engineers to set up different reactions to ensure the outpost stays powered. The other SMES will ensure the outpost has some spare power until the TEG is repaired, or otherwise replaced. </li><br>

Growing a Diona is easy!
|

<p>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Take a syringe of blood from the body you wish to turn into a Diona.</li>
|
||
<li>Inject 5 units of blood into the pack of dionaea-replicant seeds.</li>
|

<li>Plant the seeds.</li>
|
||
<li>Tend to the plants water and nutrition levels until it is time to harvest the Diona.</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Note that for a successful harvest, the body from which the blood was taken from must be dead BEFORE harvesting the pod, however the pod can be growing while they are still alive. Otherwise, the soul would not be able to migrate to the new Diona body.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
It really is that easy! Good luck!

<H1>How to Clone People</H1>
|
||
So there are 50 dead people lying on the floor, chairs are spinning like no tomorrow and you haven't the foggiest idea of what to do? Not to worry!
|
||
This guide is intended to teach you how to clone people and how to do it right, in a simple, step-by-step process! If at any point of the guide you have a mental meltdown,
|
||
genetics probably isn't for you and you should get a job-change as soon as possible before you're sued for malpractice.

</ol>
|
||
|
||
<a name='1'><H3>Step 1: Acquire body</H3>
|
||
This is pretty much vital for the process because without a body, you cannot clone it. Usually, bodies will be brought to you, so you do not need to worry so much about this step. If you already have a body, great! Move on to the next step.
|
||
|
||
<a name='2'><H3>Step 2: Strip body</H3>
|
||
The cloning machine does not like abiotic items. What this means is you can't clone anyone if they're wearing clothes or holding things, so take all of it off. If it's just one person, it's courteous to put their possessions in the closet.
|
||
If you have about seven people awaiting cloning, just leave the piles where they are, but don't mix them around and for God's sake don't let people in to steal them.
|
||
|
||
<a name='3'><h3>Step 3: Put body in cloning machine</h3>
|
||
Grab the body and then put it inside the DNA modifier. If you cannot do this, then you messed up at Step 2. Go back and check you took EVERYTHING off - a commonly missed item is their headset.
|
||
|
||
<a name='4'><h3>Step 4: Scan body</h3>
|
||
Go onto the computer and scan the body by pressing 'Scan - <Subject Name Here>.' If you're successful, they will be added to the records (note that this can be done at any time, even with living people,
|
||
so that they can be cloned without a body in the event that they are lying dead on port solars and didn't turn on their suit sensors)!
|
||
If not, and it says "Error: Mental interface failure.", then they have left their bodily confines and are one with the spirits. If this happens, just shout at them to get back in their body,
|
||
click 'Refresh' and try scanning them again. If there's no success, threaten them with gibbing.
|
||
Still no success? Skip over to Step 7 and don't continue after it, as you have an unresponsive body and it cannot be cloned.
|
||
If you got "Error: Unable to locate valid genetic data.", you are trying to clone a monkey - start over.
|
||
|
||
<a name='5'><h3>Step 5: Clone body</h3>
|
||
Now that the body has a record, click 'View Records,' click the subject's name, and then click 'Clone' to start the cloning process. Congratulations! You're halfway there.
|
||
Remember not to 'Eject' the cloning pod as this will kill the developing clone and you'll have to start the process again.
|
||
|
||
<a name='6'><h3>Step 6: Get clean SEs for body</h3>
|
||
Cloning is a finicky and unreliable process. Whilst it will most certainly bring someone back from the dead, they can have any number of nasty disabilities given to them during the cloning process!
|
||
For this reason, you need to prepare a clean, defect-free Structural Enzyme (SE) injection for when they're done. If you're a competent Geneticist, you will already have one ready on your working computer.
|
||
If, for any reason, you do not, then eject the body from the DNA modifier (NOT THE CLONING POD) and take it next door to the Genetics research room. Put the body in one of those DNA modifiers and then go onto the console.
|
||
Go into View/Edit/Transfer Buffer, find an open slot and click "SE" to save it. Then click 'Injector' to get the SEs in syringe form. Put this in your pocket or something for when the body is done.
|
||
|
||
<a name='7'><h3>Step 7: Put body in morgue</h3>
|
||
Now that the cloning process has been initiated and you have some clean Structural Enzymes, you no longer need the body! Drag it to the morgue and tell the Chef over the radio that they have some fresh meat waiting for them in there.
|
||
To put a body in a morgue bed, simply open the tray, grab the body, put it on the open tray, then close the tray again. Use one of the nearby pens to label the bed "CHEF MEAT" in order to avoid confusion.
|
||
|
||
<a name='8'><h3>Step 8: Await cloned body</h3>
|
||
Now go back to the lab and wait for your patient to be cloned. It won't be long now, I promise.
|
||
|
||
<a name='9'><h3>Step 9: Cryo and clean SE injector on person</h3>
|
||
Has your body been cloned yet? Great! As soon as the guy pops out, grab them and stick them in cryo. Clonexadone and Cryoxadone help rebuild their genetic material. Then grab your clean SE injector and jab it in them. Once you've injected them,
|
||
they now have clean Structural Enzymes and their defects, if any, will disappear in a short while.
|
||
|
||
<a name='10'><h3>Step 10: Give person clothes back</h3>
|
||
Obviously the person will be naked after they have been cloned. Provided you weren't an irresponsible little shit, you should have protected their possessions from thieves and should be able to give them back to the patient.
|
||
No matter how cruel you are, it's simply against protocol to force your patients to walk outside naked.
|
||
|
||
<a name='11'><h3>Step 11: Send person on their way</h3>
|
||
Give the patient one last check-over - make sure they don't still have any defects and that they have all their possessions. Ask them how they died, if they know, so that you can report any foul play over the radio.
|
||
Once you're done, your patient is ready to go back to work! Chances are they do not have Medbay access, so you should let them out of Genetics and the Medbay main entrance.
|
||
|
||
<p>If you've gotten this far, congratulations! You have mastered the art of cloning. Now, the real problem is how to resurrect yourself after that traitor had his way with you for cloning his target.

<h1>Science For Dummies</h1>
|
||
So you want to further SCIENCE? Good man/woman/thing! However, SCIENCE is a complicated process even though it's quite easy. For the most part, it's a three step process:
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>"} + span_bold("Deconstruct") + {" items in the Destructive Analyzer to advance technology or improve the design.</li>
|
||
<li>"} + span_bold("Build") + {" unlocked designs in the Protolathe and Circuit Imprinter.</li>
|
||
<li>"} + span_bold("Repeat") + {"!</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
|
||
Those are the basic steps to furthering science. What do you do science with, however? Well, you have four major tools: R&D Console, the Destructive Analyzer, the Protolathe, and the Circuit Imprinter.
|
||
|
||
<h2>The R&D Console</h2>
|
||
The R&D console is the cornerstone of any research lab. It is the central system from which the Destructive Analyzer, Protolathe, and Circuit Imprinter (your R&D systems) are controlled. More on those systems in their own sections.
|
||
On its own, the R&D console acts as a database for all your technological gains and new devices you discover. So long as the R&D console remains intact, you'll retain all that SCIENCE you've discovered. Protect it though,
|
||
because if it gets damaged, you'll lose your data!
|
||
In addition to this important purpose, the R&D console has a disk menu that lets you transfer data from the database onto disk or from the disk into the database.
|
||
It also has a settings menu that lets you re-sync with nearby R&D devices (if they've become disconnected), lock the console from the unworthy,
|
||
upload the data to all other R&D consoles in the network (all R&D consoles are networked by default), connect/disconnect from the network, and purge all data from the database.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
"} + span_bold("NOTE:") + {" The technology list screen, circuit imprinter, and protolathe menus are accessible by non-scientists. This is intended to allow 'public' systems for the plebians to utilize some new devices.
|
||
|
||
<h2>Destructive Analyzer</h2>
|
||
This is the source of all technology. Whenever you put a handheld object in it, it analyzes it and determines what sort of technological advancements you can discover from it. If the technology of the object is equal or higher then your current knowledge,
|
||
you can destroy the object to further those sciences.
|
||
Some devices (notably, some devices made from the protolathe and circuit imprinter) aren't 100% reliable when you first discover them. If these devices break down, you can put them into the Destructive Analyzer and improve their reliability rather than further science.
|
||
If their reliability is high enough, it'll also advance their related technologies.
|
||
|
||
<h2>Circuit Imprinter</h2>
|
||
This machine, along with the Protolathe, is used to actually produce new devices. The Circuit Imprinter takes glass and various chemicals (depends on the design) to produce new circuit boards to build new machines or computers. It can even be used to print AI modules.
|
||
|
||
<h2>Protolathe</h2>
|
||
This machine is an advanced form of the Autolathe that produce non-circuit designs. Unlike the Autolathe, it can use processed metal, glass, solid phoron, silver, gold, and diamonds along with a variety of chemicals to produce devices.
|
||
The downside is that, again, not all devices you make are 100% reliable when you first discover them.
|
||
|
||
<h2>Reliability and You</h2>
|
||
As it has been stated, many devices, when they're first discovered, do not have a 100% reliability. Instead,
|
||
the reliability of the device is dependent upon a base reliability value, whatever improvements to the design you've discovered through the Destructive Analyzer,
|
||
and any advancements you've made with the device's source technologies. To be able to improve the reliability of a device, you have to use the device until it breaks beyond repair. Once that happens, you can analyze it in a Destructive Analyzer.
|
||
Once the device reaches a certain minimum reliability, you'll gain technological advancements from it.
|
||
|
||
<h2>Building a Better Machine</h2>
|
||
Many machines produced from circuit boards inserted into a machine frames require a variety of parts to construct. These are parts like capacitors, batteries, matter bins, and so forth. As your knowledge of science improves, more advanced versions are unlocked.
|
||
If you use these parts when constructing something, its attributes may be improved.
|
||
For example, if you use an advanced matter bin when constructing an autolathe (rather than a regular one), it'll hold more materials. Experiment around with stock parts of various qualities to see how they affect the end results! Be warned, however:
|
||
Tier 3 and higher stock parts don't have 100% reliability and their low reliability may affect the reliability of the end machine.

|
||
<h3>Exosuit Fabricator</h3>
|
||
The Exosuit Fabricator is the most important piece of equipment related to cyborgs. It allows the construction of the core cyborg parts. Without these machines, cyborgs cannot be built. It seems that they may also benefit from advanced research techniques.
|
||
|
||
<h3>Cyborg Recharging Station</h3>
|
||
This useful piece of equipment will suck power out of the power systems to charge a cyborg's power cell back up to full charge.
|
||
|
||
<h3>Robotics Control Console</h3>
|
||
This useful piece of equipment can be used to immobilize or destroy a cyborg. A word of warning: Cyborgs are expensive pieces of equipment, do not destroy them without good reason, or the Company may see to it that it never happens again.
|
||
|
||
|
||
<h2><a name="Modules">Cyborg Modules</h2>

||
<h2><a name="Construction">Cyborg Construction</h2>
|
||
Cyborg construction is a rather easy process, requiring a decent amount of metal and a few other supplies.<br>The required materials to make a cyborg are:
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Metal</li>
|
||
<li>Two Flashes</li>
|
||
<li>One Power Cell (Preferably rated to 15000w)</li>
|
||
<li>Some electrical wires</li>
|
||
<li>One Human Brain</li>
|
||
<li>One Man-Machine Interface</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
Once you have acquired the materials, you can start on construction of your cyborg.<br>To construct a cyborg, follow the steps below:
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Start the Exosuit Fabricators constructing all of the cyborg parts</li>
|
||
<li>While the parts are being constructed, take your human brain, and place it inside the Man-Machine Interface</li>
|
||
<li>Once you have a Robot Head, place your two flashes inside the eye sockets</li>
|
||
<li>Once you have your Robot Chest, wire the Robot chest, then insert the power cell</li>
|
||
<li>Attach all of the Robot parts to the Robot frame</li>
|
||
<li>Insert the Man-Machine Interface (With the Brain inside) into the Robot Body</li>
|
||
<li>Congratulations! You have a new cyborg!</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
|
||
<h2><a name="Maintenance">Cyborg Maintenance</h2>
|
||
Occasionally Cyborgs may require maintenance of a couple types, this could include replacing a power cell with a charged one, or possibly maintaining the cyborg's internal wiring.
|
||
|
||
<h3>Replacing a Power Cell</h3>
|
||
Replacing a Power cell is a common type of maintenance for cyborgs. It usually involves replacing the cell with a fully charged one, or upgrading the cell with a larger capacity cell.<br>The steps to replace a cell are as follows:
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Unlock the Cyborg's Interface by swiping your ID on it</li>
|
||
<li>Open the Cyborg's outer panel using a crowbar</li>
|
||
<li>Remove the old power cell</li>
|
||
<li>Insert the new power cell</li>
|
||
<li>Close the Cyborg's outer panel using a crowbar</li>
|
||
<li>Lock the Cyborg's Interface by swiping your ID on it, this will prevent non-qualified personnel from attempting to remove the power cell</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Exposing the Internal Wiring</h3>
|
||
Exposing the internal wiring of a cyborg is fairly easy to do, and is mainly used for cyborg repairs.<br>You can easily expose the internal wiring by following the steps below:
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Follow Steps 1 - 3 of "Replacing a Cyborg's Power Cell"</li>
|
||
<li>Open the cyborg's internal wiring panel by using a screwdriver to unsecure the panel</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
To re-seal the cyborg's internal wiring:
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Use a screwdriver to secure the cyborg's internal panel</li>
|
||
<li>Follow steps 4 - 6 of "Replacing a Cyborg's Power Cell" to close up the cyborg</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
|
||
<h2><a name="Repairs">Cyborg Repairs</h2>
|
||
Occasionally a Cyborg may become damaged. This could be in the form of impact damage from a heavy or fast-travelling object, or it could be heat damage from high temperatures, or even lasers or Electromagnetic Pulses (EMPs).
|
||
|
||
<h3>Dents</h3>
|
||
If a cyborg becomes damaged due to impact from heavy or fast-moving objects, it will become dented. Sure, a dent may not seem like much, but it can compromise the structural integrity of the cyborg, possibly causing a critical failure.
|
||
Dents in a cyborg's frame are rather easy to repair, all you need is to apply a welding tool to the dented area, and the high-tech cyborg frame will repair the dent under the heat of the welder.
|
||
|
||
<h3>Excessive Heat Damage</h3>
|
||
If a cyborg becomes damaged due to excessive heat, it is likely that the internal wires will have been damaged. You must replace those wires to ensure that the cyborg remains functioning properly.<br>To replace the internal wiring follow the steps below:
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Unlock the Cyborg's Interface by swiping your ID</li>
|
||
<li>Open the Cyborg's External Panel using a crowbar</li>
|
||
<li>Remove the Cyborg's Power Cell</li>
|
||
<li>Using a screwdriver, expose the internal wiring of the Cyborg</li>
|
||
<li>Replace the damaged wires inside the cyborg</li>
|
||
<li>Secure the internal wiring cover using a screwdriver</li>
|
||
<li>Insert the Cyborg's Power Cell</li>
|
||
<li>Close the Cyborg's External Panel using a crowbar</li>
|
||
<li>Lock the Cyborg's Interface by swiping your ID</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
These repair tasks may seem difficult, but are essential to keep your cyborgs running at peak efficiency.
|
||
|
||
<h2><a name="Emergency">In Case of Emergency</h2>
|
||
In case of emergency, there are a few steps you can take.
|
||
|
||
<h3>"Rogue" Cyborgs</h3>
|
||
If the cyborgs seem to become "rogue", they may have non-standard laws. In this case, use extreme caution.
|
||
To repair the situation, follow these steps:
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Locate the nearest robotics console</li>
|
||
<li>Determine which cyborgs are "Rogue"</li>
|
||
<li>Press the lockdown button to immobilize the cyborg</li>
|
||
<li>Locate the cyborg</li>
|
||
<li>Expose the cyborg's internal wiring</li>
|
||
<li>Check to make sure the LawSync and AI Sync lights are lit</li>
|
||
<li>If they are not lit, pulse the LawSync wire using a multitool to enable the cyborg's LawSync</li>
|
||
<li>Proceed to a cyborg upload console. The Company usually places these in the same location as AI upload consoles.</li>
|
||
<li>Use a "Reset" upload moduleto reset the cyborg's laws</li>
|
||
<li>Proceed to a Robotics Control console</li>
|
||
<li>Remove the lockdown on the cyborg</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
|
||
<h3>As a last resort</h3>
|
||
If all else fails in a case of cyborg-related emergency, there may be only one option. Using a Robotics Control console, you may have to remotely detonate the cyborg.
|
||
<h3>WARNING:</h3> Do not detonate a borg without an explicit reason for doing so. Cyborgs are expensive pieces of company equipment, and you may be punished for detonating them without reason.

<h1>Detective Work</h1>
|
||
|
||
Between your bouts of self-narration and drinking whiskey on the rocks, you might get a case or two to solve.<br>
|
||
To have the best chance to solve your case, follow these directions:
|
||
<p>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Go to the crime scene. </li>
|
||
<li>Take your scanner and scan EVERYTHING (Yes, the doors, the tables, even the dog). </li>
|
||
<li>Once you are reasonably certain you have every scrap of evidence you can use, find all possible entry points and scan them, too. </li>
|
||
<li>Return to your office. </li>
|
||
<li>Using your forensic scanning computer, scan your scanner to upload all of your evidence into the database.</li>
|
||
<li>Browse through the resulting dossiers, looking for the one that either has the most complete set of prints, or the most suspicious items handled. </li>
|
||
<li>If you have 80% or more of the print (The print is displayed), go to step 10, otherwise continue to step 8.</li>
|
||
<li>Look for clues from the suit fibres you found on your perpetrator, and go about looking for more evidence with this new information, scanning as you go. </li>
|
||
<li>Try to get a fingerprint card of your perpetrator, as if used in the computer, the prints will be completed on their dossier.</li>
|
||
<li>Assuming you have enough of a print to see it, grab the biggest complete piece of the print and search the security records for it. </li>
|
||
<li>Since you now have both your dossier and the name of the person, print both out as evidence and get security to nab your baddie.</li>
|
||
<li>Give yourself a pat on the back and a bottle of the ship's finest vodka, you did it!</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<p>
|
||
It really is that easy! Good luck!

<h1>Nuclear Explosives 101</h1>
|
||
Hello and thank you for choosing Stealth Assault Enterprises for your nuclear information needs. Today's crash course will deal with the operation of a Nuclear Fission Device.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
First and foremost, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING UNTIL THE BOMB IS IN PLACE. Pressing any button on the compacted bomb will cause it to extend and bolt itself into place. If this is done, to unbolt it, one must completely log in, which at this time may not be possible.<br>
|
||
|
||
<h2>To make the nuclear device functional</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Place the nuclear device in the designated detonation zone.</li>
|
||
<li>Extend and anchor the nuclear device from its interface.</li>
|
||
<li>Insert the nuclear authorisation disk into the slot.</li>
|
||
<li>Type the numeric authorisation code into the keypad. This should have been provided.<br>
|
||
"} + span_bold("Note") + {": If you make a mistake, press R to reset the device.
|
||
<li>Press the E button to log on to the device.</li>
|
||
</ul><br>
|
||
|
||
You now have activated the device. To deactivate the buttons at anytime, for example when you've already prepped the bomb for detonation, remove the authentication disk OR press R on the keypad.<br><br>
|
||
Now the bomb CAN ONLY be detonated using the timer. Manual detonation is not an option. Toggle off the SAFETY.<br>
|
||
"} + span_bold("Note") + {": You wouldn't believe how many SAARE Operatives with doctorates have forgotten this step.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
So use the - - and + + to set a detonation time between 5 seconds and 10 minutes. Then press the timer toggle button to start the countdown. Now remove the authentication disk so that the buttons deactivate.<br>
|
||
"} + span_bold("Note") + {": THE BOMB IS STILL SET AND WILL DETONATE<br><br>
|
||
|
||
Now before you remove the disk, if you need to move the bomb, you can toggle off the anchor, move it, and re-anchor.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
Remember the order:<br>
|
||
"} + span_bold("Disk, Code, Safety, Timer, Disk, RUN!") + {"<br><br>
|
||
Intelligence Analysts believe that normal corporate procedure is for the Site Manager to secure the nuclear authentication disk.<br><br>

Alright. It has come to my attention that a variety of people are unsure of what a "pipe" is and what it does.
|
||
Apparently, there is an unnatural fear of these arcane devices and their "gases." Spooky, spooky. So,
|
||
this will tell you what every device constructable by an ordinary pipe dispenser within atmospherics actually does.
|
||
You are not going to learn what to do with them to be the super best person ever, or how to play guitar with passive gates,
|
||
or something like that. Just what stuff does.<BR><BR>

An important note here is that pipes are now done in three distinct lines - general, supply, and scrubber. You can move gases between these with a universal adapter. Use the correct position for the correct location.
|
||
Connecting scrubbers to a supply position pipe makes you an idiot who gives everyone a difficult job. Insulated and HE pipes don't go through these positions.

EVA gear. Wonderful to use. It's useful for mining, engineering, and occasionally just surviving, if things are that bad. Most people have EVA training,
|
||
but apparently there are some on a space station who don't. This guide should give you a basic idea of how to use this gear, safely. It's split into three main sections:
|
||
softsuits, voidsuits, and hardsuits. General advice and instructions for modification are present as well.<BR><BR>
|
||
|
||
One important point for synthetics and people using full-body prosthetics: You obviously don't need oxygen, but you do run the risk of overheating in vacuum.
|
||
Rather than oxygen, use a suit cooling unit. Many emergency equipment stores don't hold them, unfortunately, but dedicated EVA stores will. Be aware of your heat tolerances.<BR><BR>
|
||
|
||
<h2><a name="Softsuits">Softsuits and Emergency Equipment</a></h2>
|
||
"} + span_italics("The bulkiest things this side of Alpha Centauri") + {"<BR>
|
||
These suits are the both grey ones that are stored in EVA and orange emergency suits in emergency lockers. They're the more simple to get on, but are also a lot bulkier, and provide less protection from environmental hazards such as radiation or physical impact.
|
||
As Medical, Engineering, Security, and Mining all have voidsuits of their own, these don't see much use outside of emergencies. In an emergency, knowing how to put one on can save your life.<BR><BR>
|
||
|
||
First, take the suit. It should be in three pieces: A top, a bottom, and a helmet. Put the bottom on first, shoes and the like will fit in it. If you have magnetic boots, however,
|
||
put them on on top of the suit's feet. Next, get the top on, as you would a shirt. It can be somewhat awkward putting these pieces on, due to the makeup of the suit,
|
||
but to an extent they will adjust to you. You can then find the snaps and seals around the waist, where the two pieces meet. Fasten these, and double-check their tightness.
|
||
The red indicators around the waist of the lower half will turn green when this is done correctly. Next, put on whatever breathing apparatus you're using, be it a gas mask or a breath mask. Make sure the oxygen tube is fastened into it.
|
||
Put on the helmet now, straightforward, and make sure the tube goes into the small opening specifically for internals. Again, fasten seals around the neck, a small indicator light in the inside of the helmet should go from red to off when all is fastened.
|
||
There is a small slot on the side of the suit where an emergency oxygen tank or extended emergency oxygen tank will fit,
|
||
but it is recommended to have a full-sized tank on your back for EVA.<BR><BR>
|
||
|
||
Important note: When using these, especially in emergencies, be aware of your surroundings! These suits can tear or breach more easily than any other type, especially in an environment with broken glass and metal everywhere.
|
||
If your suit is breached, you will be in deep trouble. Pressure issues can inhibit breathing even with internals.<BR><BR>
|
||
|
||
These suits tend to be wearable by most species. They're large and flexible. They might be pretty uncomfortable for some, though, so keep that in mind.<BR><BR>
|
||
|
||
<h2><a name="Voidsuits">Voidsuits</a></h2>
|
||
"} + span_italics("Heavy, uncomfortable, still the best option.") + {"<BR>
|
||
These suits come in many specialized varieties. The most common are engineering, atmospherics, security, medical, and mining varieties.
|
||
These provide a lot more protection than the standard suits, and depending on the specialization, can offer different protections.
|
||
For example, security suits have armor plating, engineering suits have radiation protection, and atmospherics suits are rated for extremely high temperatures.<BR><BR>
|
||
|
||
Similarly to the softsuits, these are split into three parts. Fastening the pant and top are mostly the same as the softsuits, with the exception that these are a bit heavier,
|
||
though not as bulky. The helmet goes on differently, with the air tube feeding into the suit and out a hole near the left shoulder, while the helmet goes on turned ninety degrees counter-clockwise,
|
||
and then is turned to face the front and sealed. There is a small button on the right side of the helmet that activates the helmet light.
|
||
The tanks that fasten onto the side slot are emergency tanks, as well as full-sized oxygen tanks, leaving your back free for a backpack or satchel.<BR><BR>
|
||
|
||
These suits generally only fit one species. NanoTrasen's are usually human-fitting by default, but there's equipment that can make modifications to the hardsuits to fit them to other species.<BR><BR>
|
||
|
||
Later-model voidsuits can have magboots and helmets installed into the suit and deployed when needed. Check the operator's manual for individual suits to see how the helmets are installed.
|
||
If a helmet is installed, you can skip it while putting the suit on, obviously. When deployed, it will deploy from the back of your neck, covering the head and sealing at the front.<BR><BR>
|
||
|
||
<h2><a name="Hardsuits">Hardsuits/Rigs</a></h2>
|
||
"} + span_italics("The fancy stuff.") + {"<BR>
|
||
Proper hardsuits are the most complex sort of EVA equipment available, and blur the line between spacesuits and smaller exosuits. They're sometimes known as 'rigs' or 'powered armor'.
|
||
These are the suits with the widest variety of uses, owing to the wide variety of equipment that can be installed on them. Like voidsuits, they come in different, specialized varieties, each one offering different protections and different equipment.
|
||
Equipment that can be installed includes weapons, power tools, mining equipment, medical equipment, AI assistants, and more.<BR><BR>
|
||
|
||
Putting these on is relatively simple. They come as compact packs, worn like a backpack and secured with a harness. Activating them, though, is a more complex process. The suit deploys from the module similarly to helmets deploying from voidsuits.
|
||
After it covers the whole body, the suit can be started. The startup sequence takes some time. The suit will automatically fit itself to your body, sealing each section individually - boots, gloves, pants, torso, and helmet - then connecting them.<BR><BR>
|
||
|
||
Operating a hardsuit is a much more complicated proposal than operating other EVA equipment. While putting them on is relatively simple, and operating basic functions like oxygen and magboots is the same as other suits, the rest is far more complex.
|
||
Consult the operator's manual for invidual pieces of equipment that you plan to use. Use of these for heavy work is only reccomended for people who have specialized training and extensive EVA experience.
|
||
The potential of a suit breach is always there, and the use of powered equipment raises it significantly.<BR><BR>
|
||
|
||
<h2><a name="Advice">Miscellaneous Advice</a></h2>
|
||
"} + span_italics("Pro tip: Safety first.") + {"<BR>
|
||
There's a lot of general advice that can be helpful for people who haven't taken a long-form instruction course. Much of this is going to be fairly obvious safety advice, but it's never bad to remind yourself of that.<BR><BR>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Magboots are important. They can be the difference between keeping your footing and needing a rescue team. A tie-off or a jetpack can substitute if necessary.</li>
|
||
<li>Be aware of breach hazards, especially in softsuits. Loss of suit pressure can be a fatal disaster.</li>
|
||
<li>Keep an eye on your internals. Having to make two trips outside is better than running out of air.</li>
|
||
<li>Similarly, keep an eye on the battery status of cooling units and other equipment.</li>
|
||
<li>In vacuum, sound doesn't carry. Use a radio or sign language for communication.</li><BR><BR>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2><a name="Equipment">Modification Equipment</a></h2>
|
||
"} + span_italics("How to actually make voidsuits fit you.") + {"<BR>
|
||
There's a variety of equipment that can modify hardsuits to fit species that can't fit into them, making life quite a bit easier.<BR><BR>
|
||
|
||
The first piece of equipment is a suit cycler. This is a large machine resembling the storage pods that are in place in some places. These are machines that will automatically tailor a suit to certain specifications.
|
||
The largest uses of them are for their cleaning functions and their ability to tailor suits for a species. Do not enter them physically. You will die from any of the functions being activated, and it will hurt the whole time you're dying.
|
||
These machines can both tailor a suit between species, and between types. This means you can convert engineering hardsuits to atmospherics, or the other way. This is useful. Use it if you can.<BR><BR>
|
||
|
||
There's also modification kits that let you modify suits yourself. These are extremely difficult to use unless you understand the actual construction of the suit. I do not reccomend using them unless no other option is available.<BR><BR>
|
||
|
||
<h2><a name="Final">Final Checks</a></h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Are all seals fastened correctly?</li>
|
||
<li>If you have modified it manually, is absolutely everything sealed perfectly?</li>
|
||
<li>Do you either have shoes on under the suit, or magnetic boots on over it?</li>
|
||
<li>Do you have internals connected and activated?</li>
|
||
<li>Do you have a way to communicate with the station in case something goes wrong?</li>
|
||
<li>Do you have a second person watching if this is a training session?</li><BR>

||
If you don't have any further issues, go out and do whatever is necessary.

<h1>A Guide to Virology, 1st Edition</h1>
|
||
Welcome to virology! <br><br>
|
||
|
||
A virologist spends much of their time isolated in the virology department fiddling with deadly and annoying plagues. This guide will get you on the right path to properly<br>
|
||
creating and curing the worst of the worst.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Anatomy of a Virus</h2>
|
||
Before you jump in to making the next Black Death, you need to understand what's what. When you pop a tray into the disease analyzer you'll get a paper listing quite a few<br>
|
||
things about that virus!<br><br>
|
||
|
||
"} + span_bold("Antigens") + {"<br>
|
||
The first thing you might notice on this analysis is the listed antigens of a virus. This, essentially, is what you need for cures. When a patient develops an antibody that<br>
|
||
matches a disease's antigen, they'll be immune to the virus.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
"} + span_bold("Transmission") + {"<br>
|
||
This will list one of three methods of transmission: airborne, contact, or blood. Airborne viruses will spread through the air, meaning if a patient is coughing or sneezing<br>
|
||
it will spread quicker. Contactviruses need some sort of, well, contact. Blood on the floor, mucus, and vomit should all be cleaned up. Blood-transmission viruses will only<br>
|
||
spread through actual blood contact, meaning an injection of the virus would be necessary to spread it.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
"} + span_bold("Species") + {"<br>
|
||
Not all viruses are compatible with all species! This will list off what can be infected by a particular virus. This can be changed through splicing. In rare cases you will<br>
|
||
get a virus that has infected crewmembers but cannot infect your lab monkeys. In these cases, you will likely have to splice different species data to safely make a cure.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
"} + span_bold("Symptoms") + {"<br>
|
||
This lists what all the virus does, along with the strength of the symptoms and their aggressiveness. A full list of symptoms and their stages can be found below.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Protection</h2>
|
||
First off, any good virologist needs to gear up!<br><br>
|
||
Your virology lab should have the following:
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Two (2) Level-3 Bio Hoods</li>
|
||
<li>Two (2) Level-3 Bio Suits</li>
|
||
<li>Two (2) sets of sealed internals</li>
|
||
<li>One (1) box of sterile masks</li>
|
||
<li>One (1) box of latex gloves</li>
|
||
</ul><br>
|
||
"} + span_bold("Make sure to gear up appropriately and take precautions to not bring the virus out of the lab!") + {"<br><br>
|
||
What needs to be worn varies from race to race, as some species cannot be affected by a virus, but<br>
|
||
precautions should always be taken to prevent accidentally carrying the virus out of containment.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Machinery</h2>
|
||
These are the types of machines that you will be expected to use in this department. Study them, know them, and make sure you use them correctly!<br><br>
|
||
|
||
"} + span_bold("Antibody Scanner") + {"<br>
|
||
A device similar to a health analyzer, when scanned over a patient it will tell you any present antibodies in their bloodstream.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
"} + span_bold("Pathogenic Isolator") + {"<br>
|
||
This device can be loaded with blood samples via a syringe. It will tell you if there is a present viral pathogen, and if so it can isolate the pathogen,<br>
|
||
producing a virus dish for further research. This is the primary means of creating virus dishes.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
"} + span_bold("Pathogenic Incubator") + {"<br>
|
||
One of the most important machines, you'll be sitting here a lot. Virus trays you produce will start small, and you will need to grow them to get anywhere.<br>
|
||
Load it with virus food (diluted milk, found in a wall mounted dispenser nearby) as well as a virus dish and turn it on. It will slowly grow the virus<br>
|
||
for analysis, splicing, or whatever other use you might find for it. It can also inject the virus into other chemicals (i.e. blood) which will allow you<br>
|
||
to artificially infect a blood sample to infect test subjects.<br><br>
|
||

<h2>Syndromes</h2>
|
||
While curing patients is the obvious side to virology, there's more you can do! For a variety of reasons you may wish to engineer your own virus through mutations<br>
|
||
and splicing. Keep in mind that infecting the whole station with a deadly virus is generally frowned upon in most societies, and even in an antagonistic role simply<br>
|
||
infecting everyone with a very deadly virus is not ideal.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
"} + span_bold("Obtaining a Sample") + {"<br>
|
||
The first step to making your own virus is to find a virus to start tinkering with. There are two ways of doing this: grabbing the pre-spawned virus dish from the<br>
|
||
freezer create in your laboratory, or taking a blood sample from an infected patient that you haven't cured yet and running it through the Pathogenic Isolator to<br>
|
||
produce a virus dish.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
In either case, you'll then need to incubate the virus in the Pathogenic Incubator until it is of sufficient size for you to work with, and ideally also run it<br>
|
||
through the Disease Analyzer to get an idea of what it does. This will also keep the rest of Medical from getting on your case about not giving them the ability to<br>
|
||
detect viral outbreaks without you, and will help prevent public lynchings if someone sneezes.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
Once that's all done, you're ready to start the real work.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
"} + span_bold("Obtaining a Sample") + {"<br>
|
||
Sometimes you just need to infect somebody. Usually, this is because you're doing some splicing work and want to make sure that you'll have some copies of a virus<br>
|
||
in reserve for future study. Fortunately, the process of deliberately infecting patients, as well as creating backups of your viruses, is actually very simple.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
If you have a virus dish and wish to infect a patient, place the dish into the "} + span_bold("Pathogenic Incubator") + {" along with a beaker full of blood. Ideally, this is the<br>
|
||
patient's (or test monkey's) blood, though anyone's will do in a pinch - just be aware of the possibility of blood rejection, and be ready to deal with it accordingly.<br>
|
||
The incubator can inject a sample of the virus into the blood, which you can then inject into the patient to infect them. Alternatively, once a blood sample is infected<br>
|
||
you may place it in either the "} + span_bold("Pathogenic Isolator") + {" or "} + span_bold("Isolation Centrifuge") + {" to make as many samples of that virus you need without destroying the sample.<br>
|
||
No infections necessary!<br><br>
|
||
|
||
"} + span_bold("Splicing") + {"<br>
|
||
To understand splicing, you must know that every virus has 4 GNA strands, each of which is tied to one of the syndromes that it can manifest. Each syndrome, and thus each<br>
|
||
strand, is ranked in order of its appearance when symptoms begin to manifest in a patient, and higher-ranked (and thus slower to appear) syndromes are likely to be more<br>
|
||
powerful than lower-ranked ones. (1) is the lowest, first symptom to manifest, and (4) is the highest, final symptom to manifest.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
The Disease Splicer will allow you to examine and manipulate a virus' GNA strands to create a virus with any syndromes that you want.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
The splicer has main three functions which allow you to modify viruses and define which GNA strands they contain. The first of these functions is the splicing function,<br>
|
||
which copies a GNA strand from an inserted virus tray to the disease splicer buffer. This is done by selecting the desired GNA strand under "Reverse Engineering".<br>
|
||
Doing so will destroy the virus tray in the process, so be sure that you have more samples of the virus on hand if you want to preserve it.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
The disease splicer’s second function is to copy whatever strand it has stored in its buffer to a disk the machine creates. These disks can be re-inserted into<br>
|
||
the disease splicer later, making their stored GNA strand immediately available for use. Unlike virus trays, disks can be reused without destroying them.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
The final function of the disease splicer is to copy over a GNA strand of its loaded virus dish with the corresponding GNA strand that is currently stored in<br>
|
||
its buffer. This effectively allows you to give a virus any set of symptoms you want, so long as it follows the rules of the ranking. A rank (1) symptom can fill<br>
|
||
any slot, while a (3) can only fill 3 and up, and a (4) can only be in the fourth slot.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
"} + span_bold("Mutating") + {"<br>
|
||
Sometimes you just don't have any of the symptoms you want. Fortunately, mutating a virus dish is very simple. Simply place a dish in the "} + span_bold("Pathogenic Incubator") + {"<br>
|
||
to get started and click 'add radiation'. This will fill up the radiation bar with each press. When the machine is on, this bar will slowly tick down as the radiation<br>
|
||
is applied to the sample. For any significant mutation the radiation should be over 500k, meaning at least half the bar. When a mutation occurs -- and multiple<br>
|
||
mutations can occur in a single sample -- there will be a ping from the machine. Once it's done growing and mutating, throw it into the analyzer and see what you got!<br><br>
|
||
|
||
With these functions in mind, the process in order for you to develop your own virus is as follows:
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Create lots of virus sample dishes.</li>
|
||
<li>If the virus dishes you have already created don't contain the syndromes that you want in<br>
|
||
your custom virus, irradiate them in the Pathogenic Incubator until they do.</li>
|
||
<li>Create backup dishes of your new viruses.</li>
|
||
<li>Strip the GNA strands that you want from your virus dishes, saving each one onto a disk.</li>
|
||
<li>Load a new virus dish into the Disease Splicer.</li>
|
||
<li>Copy over the virus dish's GNA strands with your disks.</li>
|
||
<li>Once you have your final product, you can use the Pathogenic Incubator to create a beaker<br>
|
||
of blood containing the virus. Congratulations! You are now officially a bioweapon<br>
|
||
manufacturer.</li>

||

||
<h2>Curing</h2>
|
||
Curing a virus is relatively simple, but the below will leave you without a sample to work with. If this is a concern, see 'obtaining a sample' above. Alternatively to<br>
|
||
the below, spacecillin can be used in a pinch to attempt to treat a virus if no virologist is present and someone decided to roll around in mucus. However this is not<br>
|
||
guaranteed to work, and can in fact simply make the virus more resistant to spacecillin.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
"} + span_bold("Quarantine") + {"<br>
|
||
If you or a crew member becomes infected by a virus, your first concern should be to isolate them as quickly as possible to prevent the disease from spreading. Ideally,<br>
|
||
this means getting the patient back to Virology and into a holding cell, but failing that, it's important to get them into an isolated room, shut the door, and keep anyone<br>
|
||
else from entering. It is also important to clean up any blood, vomit, or mucus left behind by the patient, as it may spread the virus as well.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
"} + span_bold("Antibodies") + {"<br>
|
||
Now that your patient is safely hidden away where they can't infect people without your permission, you want to cure them. The basic idea behind that is to get them to start<br>
|
||
synthesizing antibodies.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
Antibodies are produced by living organisms that have started to fight off a virus in their bloodstream. An organism that has produced antibodies is effectively<br>
|
||
immune to any virus that is weak to those antibodies, which are generally denoted by a short string of letters (say, "KM" or similar) to let you know which viruses they<br>
|
||
are effective against. Even better, once an organism has synthesized antibodies for itself, you can take a blood sample and use that to create more antibodies, which you<br>
|
||
can then inject into other people to cure the virus in them, or even to prevent them from catching it in the first place. And you can take blood samples from those people<br>
|
||
to make even more antibodies.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
The issue is that, most of the time, a patient's immune system is not powerful enough to create antibodies on its own (space plagues are nasty things), so you have to do that<br>
|
||
for them. You do that by injecting them with Radium.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
Since Radium is radioactive, this is obviously not something that you want to do to your actual patients. It'll cause major toxin damage when an antibody is<br>
|
||
made and quickly lead to organ failure. You get around this by using monkeys, which you can get from the box of monkey cubes very handily left on the desk in Virology for<br>
|
||
this very purpose.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
So the process of curing diseases is, really, quite simple. Find an infected patient. Make a monkey (ideally, strap this monkey to a bed in an isolation cell to make the<br>
|
||
rest of this process easier). Take a blood sample from the infected patient, then inject it into the monkey to infect the monkey. Inject the monkey with Radium. Use the antibody<br>
|
||
scanner on the monkey every few seconds until it says that the monkey has begun producing antibodies, then take a blood sample (or two or three or four) from the<br>
|
||
monkey. Put the blood sample(s) into a vial, then put the vial into the isolation centrifuge and isolate the antibodies. Voila: a bottle of virus cure. Inject it into as many<br>
|
||
people as you like, then throw the (likely dead) monkey into the disposals chute to eject its disease-ridden body into space and clean the isolation cell. Or, if you're on<br>
|
||
the ball and wish to be conservative with your limited monkey cubes, save the monkey, too.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
Congratulations! You have now cured a disease.<br><br>
|
||
|
||
The important thing to remember is that anyone injected with antibodies becomes a source of those antibodies for the future. You can take a sample of their blood<br>
|
||
and put it into the isolation centrifuge just like you did with the monkey's to produce more antibodies if you ever run out. For this reason, and because you might have<br>
|
||
gotten infected yourself in the process of synthesizing a cure, most Virologists will inject themselves with any antibodies they produce.<br><br>

<h2>Syndromes</h2>
|
||
Below are the possible syndromes of a virus and the stages they can appear at. A stage covers that stage and higher, so a stage 1 syndrome can appear at stage 4.<br>
|
||
A stage 4 syndrome, however, cannot appear any earlier than stage 4.<br><br>
