Scientist is one of the most feared and fun jobs on station. Being a scientist means you can either make a buttload of delicious weapons, tools and gadgets through research, breed colorful slimes, make delicious fun-packing bombs, or experiment with time and space themselves. As it is predictable with the station, most scientists are not satisfied with just blowing up their testing area and frequently go and spread their flavor of fun throughout the station. This is of course a really bad idea, often resulting in jobbans - but then again, ''delicious bombs''. | Scientist is one of the most feared and fun jobs on station.

*If you're making a typical valve transfer bomb, don't follow the wiki precisely. Instead of using a plasma-super hot co2 combo in one tank and pure o2 in the other, use a tank with 80% o2 20% plasma and the other pure super hot co2. This way you get a better o2 to plasma ratio and devastating results. | *If you're making a typical valve transfer bomb, don't follow the wiki precisely.

It is recommended that you use your traitor points on items to conceal your identity, as people will want to murder and give your body to the chef after your bomb deletes your target and 3 more departments. Or, in the least, get a space suit for the huge void you just made. | ||
