==Probabilistic Anomaly==
''A probabilistic anomaly has been detected near the station. Prepare for a distortion of the laws of probability.''
An event that breaches the physics of reality and forces the RNG to be stuck on the same value for 2 to 10 minutes. "Random" elements of the game will become static resulting in the possibility of arcade machines dispensing the same reward or coins flipping on the same side multiple times in a row.

''The scrubbers network is experiencing a backpressure surge. Some ejection of contents may occur.''


Air scrubbers around the station may suddenly erupt foam of various chemicals and reagents. The chemicals/reagents which may be involved in this event are: plant-b-gone, blood, charcoal, space drugs, morphine, holy water, ethanol, hot chocolate, sulphuric acid, mindbreaker toxin, rotatium, pax, laughter, concentrated barbers aid, colorful reagent, dizzying solution, tiring solution, salt, beer, hair dye, white glitter, growth serum. The severity of the surge can vary, resulting in double or 2.5 times as much reagents to appear out of all vents.

''What the duck was that?!''
 
Something of a humorous '''''DUCK''''' joke, an immovable '''''DUCK''''' will travel through the station in a straight line causing reasonable amounts of damage to the structure and killing anybody unfortunate to be in its path. They take some time to travel through the station, make an immense amount of noise, and as such are avoidable to players with quick reflexes. They will often open up secure areas, resulting in looting. If an Immovable '''''DUCK''''''s path includes the arrivals shuttle, or any of the escape pods, you will find out what happens when an unstoppable '''''DUCK''''' meets an immovable object.

==[[File:Kudzugrowth.gif|32px]] Space Vines==
''Cargo: A group calling themselves PETA whatever that means is asking to inspect your station. Do you want to check it out?''
A plant which spreads extremely rapidly around the station. Space vines will grow thicker with time, first getting thick enough to block vision, then capable of entangling people. You can resist entanglement, but it is safer to avoid the vines. Fire doors and windows will stop their growth until someone opens them, but airlocks won't. If in an open area, the vines will continue to expand until they engulf every space not blocked off! Space vines will always spawn in maintenance.
 
To fight the vines:
* Drag a goat, either Pete or one ordered from cargo into the vines. It'll eat any vine it passes into, and even quickly consume them on its own so long as there's any nearby.
*A scythe from a weed control crate is effective, along with any sharp implement.
*Plant-b-gone spray from botany and weedkiller grenades from cargo are also good options.
*Fire will also kill certain vines dead. Welders are recommended sources of burn damage instead of, oh I don't know, a flamethrower.

== [[File:ZombieTumor.png]] [[Guide_to_races#Exotic Races|Spawn Zombie]] ==
Spawns a player controlled zombie. The zombie will proceed to attack and kill anything it comes into contact with. Each attack has a chance to put a tumor that infects a crewmember transforming them into a zombie after some time. The tumor can be removed before transformation using surgery. It also can be delayed while having charcoal in your system, but this does not remove the tumor. Zombies have unlimited regeneration and come back to life after death. The quickest way to kill a zombie is to behead them.

==[[File:Cluwne.png|32px]] [[Critters#Hostile|Floor Cluwne]]==
Spawns a floor cluwne. The floor cluwne will target anyone on the station and will stalk them, throwing things at them and honking. This will get more extreme as the floor cluwne prepares to attack. When the cluwne attacks, it will EMP an area around the target as well as lube it. It will move towards it's target (though it starts out on top of them) and drag them beneath the floor and gib them. The floor cluwne will repeat this, getting faster with every crewmember it takes. That said, the floor cluwne itself is pretty vulnerable when it appears and it will remain above the floor until it reaches and kills it's target or dies, so if you just drag the target as the floor cluwne appears you can easily wail on it with a toolbox until it dies.
The resulting mask itself is still evil, and will stick to your hand if grabbed (so pull it to a recycler or banish it into a locker if you want it disposed of). If worn, it will stick to your face and turn you into a Cluwne, a clown like abomination that is Valid and can be attacked by anyone, though they themselves are still bound by rules and can only immediately retaliate.

==[[File:Cluwne.png|32px]] [[Critters#Hostile|Floor Cluwne]]==
Spawns a floor cluwne. The floor cluwne will target anyone on the station and will stalk them, throwing things at them and honking. This will get more extreme as the floor cluwne prepares to attack. When the cluwne attacks, it will EMP an area around the target as well as lube it. It will move towards it's target (though it starts out on top of them) and drag them beneath the floor and gib them. The floor cluwne will repeat this, getting faster with every crewmember it takes. That said, the floor cluwne itself is pretty vulnerable when it appears and it will remain above the floor until it reaches and kills it's target or dies, so if you just drag the target as the floor cluwne appears you can easily wail on it with a toolbox until it dies.
The resulting mask itself is still evil, and will stick to your hand if grabbed (so pull it to a recycler or banish it into a locker if you want it disposed of). If worn, it will stick to your face and turn you into a Cluwne, a clown like abomination that is Valid and can be attacked by anyone, though they themselves are still bound by rules and can only immediately retaliate.

These are random events that occur during a game regardless of gamemode. They have a relatively low chance of occurring, and are often (but not always) accompanied by a broadcasted message from CentCom. Some may only occur after so much time has elapsed during a round.

The weight stands for how likely an event is to show up. A higher weight gives it a higher chance of occurring, and a lower weight gives it a lower chance of occurring.

Unremarkable Events

Space.png Aurora Caelus

A harmless cloud of ions is approaching your station, and will exhaust their energy battering the hull. Nanotrasen has approved a short break for all employees to relax and observe this very rare event. During this time, starlight will be bright but gentle, shifting between quiet green and blue colors. Any staff who would like to view these lights for themselves may proceed to the area nearest to them with viewing ports to open space. We hope you enjoy the lights.

The space around the hull glows with varying shades of green and blue as the ions batter themselves against the station.

Probabilistic Anomaly

A probabilistic anomaly has been detected near the station. Prepare for a distortion of the laws of probability.

An event that breaches the physics of reality and forces the RNG to be stuck on the same value for 2 to 10 minutes. "Random" elements of the game will become static resulting in the possibility of arcade machines dispensing the same reward or coins flipping on the same side multiple times in a row.

Weight: 10

Goose.png Random Human-level Intelligence

Based on scans from our long-range sensors, we believe that one of the station's pets has developed very low level intelligence, and the ability to communicate.

Grants a ghost control over one of the station's simple animals/robots, priority placed on identifiable animals such as station pets and mulebots or beepsky among others.

Minimum round time: 20 Minutes

Weight: 10

Moderate Events

Anomalies

A random type of anomaly spawns in a random location on the station! These tend to cause bad things if left alone. So hop to it! To neutralize an anomaly, grab an analyzer from a toolbox and a remote signaling device. Scan the anomaly with the analyzer, then send the signal with the frequency shown! This will neutralize the anomaly and leave behind a core, a relatively valuable item to science.

The anomalies will move around, so a bit of hunting may be necessary if it happens to stray from its location.

Bluespace.gif Bluespace

Unstable bluespace anomaly detected on long range scanners. Expected location: [Location].

If left unchecked, it will eventually detonate, warping every object in the area into a random location. Virology may end up in space! Tech storage may suddenly appear in the security wing!

Minimum round time: 20 minutes

Weight: 5

Hallucination anomaly.gif Hallucination

Hallucinatory event hitting the station. Expected location: [Location].

This anomaly will spawn hallucinations of hostile mobs, which will attack anyone nearby. They deal stamina damage until their target is in stamcrit, before causing them to hallucinate being unable to breathe and eventually dying if not recovered.

Minimum round time: 20 minutes

Weight: 20

Maximum Occurrence: 5

Electricity2.gif Hyper-Energetic Flux

Vendcoffee.gif Brand Intelligence

Rampant brand intelligence has been detected aboard the station. Please stand by. The origin is believed to be a [vending machine name].

One of the machine type specified in the CentCom notice has become sentient! If not stopped, it will begin to spread a virus to all other vending machines, causing them to animate and attack anything in sight!

The origin machine can be any of the vending machines on the station, from the soda machine in escape to the cigarette dispenser in the captain's office. It will shout aggressive speech at anyone nearby and launch products at anything in sight. To stop it and prevent it from infecting any other vendors, it must be either deconstructed, its wires all cut, or just simply screwdriver the panel open and flick the speaker switch to off.

Minimum round time: 20 minutes

Minimum players: 15

Weight: 5

Generic hop.png Bureaucratic Error

A recent bureaucratic error in the Organic Resources Department may result in personnel shortages in some departments and redundant staffing in others.

Generic atmos.png Clogged Vents

The scrubbers network is experiencing a backpressure surge. Some ejection of contents may occur.

Air scrubbers around the station may suddenly erupt foam of various chemicals and reagents. The chemicals/reagents which may be involved in this event are plant-b-gone, blood, charcoal, space drugs, morphine, holy water, ethanol, hot chocolate, sulfuric acid, mindbreaker toxin, rotatium, pax, laughter, concentrated barbers aid, colorful reagent, dizzying solution, tiring solution, salt, beer, hair dye, white glitter, growth serum. The severity of the surge can vary, resulting in double or 2.5 times as many reagents to appear out of all vents.

Minimum round time: 20 minutes

Weight: 30

Virologist.png Disease Outbreak

Confirmed outbreak of level 7 viral biohazard aboard the station. All personnel must contain the outbreak.

Get your asses in gear, Medbay! A virus has somehow made it aboard the station. Could be the common cold, could be the confusing space retrovirus, could be the crippling brainrot, or a completely random Advanced Virus.

Due to the similar CentCom alert, expect many confused/dumb crewmen to fill communications with cries of "WHERE'S THE BLOB?" or "LYNCH VIRO."

The longer the round has gone on, the worse the virus!

All the lights in the brig blow, and all the cells and brig doors are bolted open, making a clear escape path for all inmates! The AI and cyborgs can get the doors shut quickly, but hacking will do in a pinch. Has a chance to affect a camera, which will either; EMP it, EMP-proof it or motion activate it. Can also affect keycard authenticators, which can cause maintenance to open or red alert to activate.

Apc frame.png Grid Check

Abnormal activity detected in the station's powernet. As a precautionary measure, the station's power will be shut off for an indeterminate duration.

Shuts down all APCs station-wide for 30 to 120 seconds, with the exception of Engineering. Usually leads to station-wide looting once Assistants crowbar open airlocks. Can be fixed early by hitting the APC's "Reset" button.

Minimum round time: 20 Minutes

Immquack.png Immovable Duck

What the duck was that?!

Something of a humorous DUCK joke, an immovable DUCK will travel through the station in a straight line causing reasonable amounts of damage to the structure and killing anybody unfortunate to be in its path. They take some time to travel through the station, make an immense amount of noise, and as such are avoidable to players with quick reflexes. They will often open up secure areas, resulting in looting. If an Immovable DUCK's path includes the arrivals shuttle, or any of the escape pods, you will find out what happens when an unstoppable DUCK meets an immovable object.

Weight: 2

Maximum Occurrence: 3

Immrod.png Immovable Rod

Something of a humorous physics joke, an immovable rod will travel through the station in a straight line causing reasonable amounts of damage to the structure and killing anybody unfortunate to be in its path. They take some time to travel through the station, make an immense amount of noise, and as such are avoidable to players with quick reflexes. They will often open up secure areas, resulting in looting.

Maximum Occurrence: 3

AI.gif Ion Storm

Ion storm detected near the station. Please check all AI-controlled equipment for errors.

All AIs aboard the station are uploaded with a random, glitched law! These new laws have random symbols for numbers, and thus are listed as the highest priority laws. New AI laws can range from bizarre and humorous to outright dangerous. A few examples include "CARGO REQUIRES THE STATION'S UNDERWEAR," "THE STATION IS HAPPIER WITHOUT VIPERS," and "JOHN SMITH IS A XENO." This sometimes results in someone having to reset the AI.

Ion storms can also cause the order of laws to be rearranged. Have fun with an AI that doesn't have "you may not harm a human" as priority #1!

Even better, Ion storms can sometimes replace laws or even whole lawsets.

If no AI is present, it will instead target airlocks and APCs. Airlocks will randomly have one of the following effects: toggle bolts, toggle emergency access, shock temporarily or have their safety and speed toggled. APCs will have one of three or all of their power channels turned off.

Bonus cargo points: 10,000

GrayCrate.png Department Resupply

Cargo: Seems we've ordered doubles of our department resupply packages this month. Can we send them to you?

The next shuttle comes loaded with a variety of free goodies. Sweet! (Does not include extra points. Dang.)

Bonus cargo points: 0

Generic nukesyndie.png Hijack Syndie

Cargo: The syndicate are trying to infiltrate your station. If you let them hijack your cargo shuttle, you'll save us a headache.

A number of syndicate mobs come aboard the supply shuttle when it next comes. Have security arm up to take them out and safely confiscate any weapons they bring with them.

Bonus cargo points: 10,000

Bee.gif It's Hip To

Cargo: One of our freighters carrying a bee shipment has been attacked by eco-terrorists. Can you clean up the mess for us?

The shuttle will contain a number of toxic bees. Bee careful not to get stung!

Bonus cargo points: 20,000

Cat.png PETA

Cargo: A group calling themselves PETA whatever that means is asking to inspect your station. Do you want to check it out?

The shuttle will contain a number of hostile critters, from rats and cats to space carps and bears.

The shuttle will contain a live explosive. Do not call this unless you can safely evacuate the area.

Bonus cargo points: 45,000

Kudzugrowth.gif Space Vines

A plant which spreads extremely rapidly around the station. Space vines will grow thicker with time, first getting thick enough to block vision, then capable of entangling people. You can resist entanglement, but it is safer to avoid the vines. Fire doors and windows will stop their growth until someone opens them, but airlocks won't. If in an open area, the vines will continue to expand until they engulf every space not blocked off! Space vines will always spawn in maintenance.

To fight the vines:

  • Drag a goat, either Pete or one ordered from cargo into the vines. It'll eat any vine it passes into, and even quickly consume them on its own so long as there's any nearby.
  • A scythe from a weed control crate is effective, along with any sharp implement.
  • Plant-b-gone spray from botany and weedkiller grenades from cargo are also good options.
  • Fire will also kill certain vines dead. Welders are recommended sources of burn damage instead of, oh I don't know, a flamethrower.

Anom.gif Wormholes

Space-time anomalies detected on the station. There is no additional data.

Wormholes start appearing randomly around the station for several minutes. Going into one of these wormholes will teleport you to a random location. Sometimes you might be lucky enough to wind up somewhere good. Sometimes you might find yourself out in the middle of space.

If you have no intention of taking the gamble, you should move around the station in Walk mode. Wormholes that spawn directly on you will not warp you, so remaining perfectly still will ensure your safety. But take care not to let some chucklefuck push you into one!

Cluwne.png Floor Cluwne

Spawns a floor cluwne. The floor cluwne will target anyone on the station and will stalk them, throwing things at them and honking. This will get more extreme as the floor cluwne prepares to attack. When the cluwne attacks, it will EMP an area around the target as well as lube it. It will move towards it's target (though it starts out on top of them) and drag them beneath the floor and gib them. The floor cluwne will repeat this, getting faster with every crewmember it takes. That said, the floor cluwne itself is pretty vulnerable when it appears and it will remain above the floor until it reaches and kills it's target or dies, so if you just drag the target as the floor cluwne appears you can easily wail on it with a toolbox until it dies.

The resulting mask itself is still evil, and will stick to your hand if grabbed (so pull it to a recycler or banish it into a locker if you want it disposed of). If worn, it will stick to your face and turn you into a Cluwne, a clown like abomination that is Valid and can be attacked by anyone, though they themselves are still bound by rules and can only immediately retaliate.

It has the ability to blood crawl this means you can sink into blood tiles which will allow you to move anywhere ya please just like if AI was viewing the station. To enter the world of the living again you must find a tile where there is blood. The common practice of the slaughter demon is to Murderbone Feed your ever-growing hunger! To do this you must knock or kill someone until they are laying down then you can drag them into a pool of blood using the same ability as you did to blood crawl but now with a person! When you blood crawl with a crew member you will hear the sounds of you feasting on them. This permanently removes that person from the shift and heals you.

Incoming subspace communication. Secure channel opened at all communication consoles.

If the station refuses to pay, attempts to pay without having enough funds in the cargo budget, or is silent for 5 minutes, a pirate shuttle arrives somewhere in space.

Pirates can activate the Data Siphon - a device that steals station funds and shuts down RnD servers as well as the cargo shuttle. However, this reveals the pirate shuttle with a GPS beacon.
