The lab also contains a slime containment area with pens, some of which start with a baby grey slime. There is also 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.

===[[File:Slime_comp.png]] Slime Console===
===[[File:Slime_comp.png]] Slime Console===
Due to CentCom budget cuts, on most stations these consoles are '''no longer readily available on shift start''', Boxstation has one available. Circuit boards to build them can now be printed in research after researching bluespace technology. It is recommended that you do so, as it 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!
The console is your main working tool when dealing with xenobiology. With it you can move slimes, kill them, feed them, and process dead monkeys with mere clicks of a button!


It's strongly advised grabbing the wrench (usually located next to the shield projectors) and moving the fridge and slime processor within close range of the console you're using as to cut out a lot of unnecessary movement.

There are some commands you can issue as a slime's friend, including "follow", "stop" and "attack". Keep in mind that these commands are exceedingly finicky, and are rarely used for a reason. Slimes will not attack other slimes or friends.

So either by you not feeding the slime enough, the slime being an 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.

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 light pink or 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]].
