You start in [[Medbay]] and literally get to play God. This is a very technical class, but there are a few simple things people can do that are still learning the ins and out of genetics. The main thing you're meant for: find super powers, fix disabilities, and cloning dead people.

===[[File:Clonebook.png]] Cloning, A How To===
Someone has died? Not to worry, SCIENCE is here!
# Grab a body.
# Throw body into the DNA Scanner (next to Cloning Console).
# Click ''Scan''. If there is no brain activity, wait a moment (half a minute or so) and try again (ghost needs to return to its body). If this fails again, skip to step 9.
# Go into ''Medical Records''.
# Hit ''Clone''.
# If you don't have Clean Structural Enzymes (Clean SEs) yet, pop body out of DNA Scanner. If you do, skip the next step.
## Take old body (and not the clone), throw into DNA Scanner next to monkey pen.
## Go into the ''Transfer Buffer'' and ''Save'' their SE formula to a blank spot.
# Make a clean SE injector from the DNA Scanner Access Console and inject them with a clean SE injector just to be safe that they don't get any seizures later on.
# Give them their clothes back and throw them out of your lab.
# You now have a dead body to play with, turn into a monkey, throw into the morgue, or just give to the chef (or do a combination thereof).

===Early Ejection===
===Early Ejection===
If you're feeling fancy and have a fuckton of bodies which need cloning, you can force an early ejection of the cloning pod by unlocking the pod with your ID and using the Eject Pod command from the right-click menu. The clone must be at least 40% done before the pod will allow you to eject it this way. The cloning pod will also eject its current unfinished clone if the room's equipment loses power. If you get a cooperative [[Engineer]] to unlock the APC for you, you can switch the power off and on to eject the clone.

You need to finish the cloning process over in Cryogenics, so make sure the Cryochambers are loaded with a [[Clonexadone]]-[[Cryoxadone]] mixture. Have some [[Alkysine]] at hand to cure their massive brain damage, too. This is known as 'Hypercloning', and it speeds up the process of cloning significantly, frees up the cloning machine for another patient, gives cryogenics and bored medical doctors something to do, and it's not inconvenient because they're naked coming out of the pod anyway.
 
===Genetic Backup===
You can take a scan off of someone while they're alive and create a genetic backup ready to be cloned in case they die. This is useful to those of especially high risk of an irretrievable death like the chief engineer or captain.
# Bug people to get scanned at genetics while they're still alive.
# Scan them.
# Press the "clone" button under their records when they die.

The cloner takes about 2:30 minutes to pop out an almost complete clone. Ejecting at 40% then sticking in a cryotube speeds up the process by only a few seconds, but does mean you can clone multiple people at once. Force ejecting by either turning off APC power or emagging the cloning tube then shoving them in the cryogenic tubes does finish them almost twice as fast AND means you can clone 3 people at the same time.
* Turning off the APC's equipment power also ejects a clone regardless of health. Good for speed cloning. Clone one to 25%, throw in cryo, clone another to 25%, throw in cryo, clone one guy until the first guy in cryo is done, repeat.

* The Genetics DNA altering console can spit out injectors for UEs and UIs as well as SEs.

* Vodka heals radiation damage.
* Genetic powers have a chance to manifest every time your SE changes. Most people inject themselves with injectors over and over to get the powers they want, but there's a trick to this: You can put a person in a scanner, set the length and power of the radiation beams to 1/1, and keep blasting some unrelated blocks. This means you get a SE change every second and almost no radiation. However, the low duration means it has a good chance to cause random disabilities. Just make sure you have a clean power SE saved in the buffer and pay attention to the block values. Even with the chance for disabilities, it's a LOT faster and safer than using injectors or copying the SE to the occupant using the buffers.
** Use a 'safe' block for the 1/1 bursts (something at or around 333-4bb on both adjacent blocks plus the block you're hitting) and you'll have to reset the SE for disabilities infrequently if ever.
* Radiation (and thus radstorms and mutagen) has a very, VERY small chance to give non-negative effects. One of the "Gotta go fast" schools of genetics is to hit a monkey person with a load of mutagen and get most of the disability blocks in five minutes.
* It can be empirically shown that, for an upgraded machine, a pulse duration of 4 seconds is the most efficient trade-off of time and success rate.

The genetics lab is located in Medbay. It is separated into two sections: Genetic Cloning and Genetic Research


Clonebook.png Genetic Cloning

This is one half of your job. Make sure you know how do it (and actually fucking do it).

Early Ejection

If you're feeling fancy and have a fuckton of bodies that need cloning, you can force an early ejection of the cloning pod by unlocking the pod with your ID and using the Eject Pod command from the right-click menu. The clone must be at least 40% done before the pod will allow you to eject it this way. The cloning pod will also eject its current unfinished clone if the room's equipment loses power. If you get a cooperative Engineer to unlock the APC for you, you can switch the power off and on to eject the clone.

You need to finish the cloning process over in Cryogenics, so make sure the Cryochambers are loaded with Cryoxadone. Have some Mannitol at hand to cure their massive brain damage, too. This is known as 'Hypercloning', and it speeds up the process of cloning significantly, frees up the cloning machine for another patient, gives cryogenics and bored medical doctors something to do, and it's not inconvenient because they're naked coming out of the pod anyway.

Genetic Research

Any geneticist worth their salt knows that manipulating the DNA of living things is their ball game.

See the Guide to Genetics when you're ready for the real SCIENCE.

Other, more subtle, modifications may be possible. As always, experimentation is encouraged!


Tips

  • If the cloning process changed your looks, you can stuff your old (dead) body in a DNA modifier, scan the UI/UE, and inject those into yourself to get your old appearance back.
  • If someone has a cavity implanted item, you can instantly remove it by monkeying them.

Being a mad scientist geneticist?!

As a traitor, you are pretty much able to do anything you want to dead people in your lab, granted you don't have a coworker or babysitter. After sticking about for a few moments, any security forces usually vanish from the room of medium priority targets, like the RD or CE. At this time, you can then loot their items and access, or even their appearance! You can easily replace people, just be sure to get rid of the original and wear the right clothes! Perhaps it will help you in the long run.

Tips for traitoring

  • Monkey SE's are a hell of a weapon.
  • Change your identity if you're caught breaking the space law. Keeps people off of you.
  • TK is still very OP. With Xray, it's nigh-unstoppable if used correctly. You can:
    • Bash people with items. If they pick the item up you can still hit them with it.
    • Steal guns out of charging units and IDs out of computers.
    • Disposal items from afar and collect your loot at cargo disposals.
    • Kill people through camera consoles.
    • Operate basic machinery including the Chem Dispenser and ChemMaster 3000.
    • And if you have x-ray you're even more unstoppable than before. You can hide in lockers in maint and scheme around all you want.
  • XRAY + TK can be used to insert the onehuman upload card from outside the upload. Unfortunately, you cannot activate the freeform module correctly.
