Plasmamen take twice as much damage from fire and lasers. They cannot lose blood through an IV drip or via bleeding. Chemicals, including food and drinks, can be injected into their bodies through their jumpsuits. Plasmamen are not susceptible to viruses and illnesses. | Plasmamen take twice as much damage from fire and lasers. They cannot lose blood through an IV drip or via bleeding.

Once dead, a plasmaman's chances of being brought back to life are smaller than the average crew member. Defibrillators do work, but cloning a plasmaman will almost always fail, because the developing body will burn inside the cloning pod's atmosphere. [[Surgery]] can be performed to remove a plasmaman's brain from their burning body; fortunately the brain won't burst into flames and can be used like any other brain. | Once dead, a plasmaman's chances of being brought back to life are smaller than the average crew member. Defibrillators do work, but cloning a plasmaman will almost always fail, because the developing body will burn inside the cloning pod's atmosphere. Cloning a plasmaman is possible but difficult, requiring measures such as brain transplants or building cloning machines in a room filled with plasma and no oxygen. Blood cannot be drawn out of a plasmaman, so they cannot be turned into a [[podman|Podman]] (without turning them into some other species first). | ||
[[Surgery]] can be performed to remove a plasmaman's brain from their burning body; fortunately the brain won't burst into flames and can be used like any other brain. Plasmamen contain all of the organs you'd expect from a human, and all organs can safely exist outside the body. | |||
The AI does not consider plasmamen human and is not obligated to listen to them. Also, [[Captain|certain]] [[Head of Personnel|crew members]] will show depths of racism previously reserved for the clown. Centcom also maintains a strict "Human-Only" policy for Command Staff appointments. But hey, flaming skeletons! | The AI does not consider plasmamen human and is not obligated to listen to them.
