===[[File:Slimeblue.png]] Xenobiology and You=== | |||
The mining department on the station holds some fulton extraction packs and [[File:Xeno carrier closed.png]] xenological containment units. It is your job to help the Scientists working the [[Xenobiology Lab]] by capturing slimes from [[Lavaland]] using these and sending them back to the lab. A lot of the slimes you encounter will be dead due to brutal fights with other lavaland monsters. The rare few that you find still alive should be sent back alive, as this helps the scientists a lot more than sending them a dead slime. | |||

* Your mining satchel will automatically pick up ores as long as it is on your immediate person (in pockets, on belt, in hands, etc.) If you are dragging an ore box, ores will automatically be dumped into that instead. | |||

A traitorous miner has a lot of advantages. You have a space suit for free right away and a robust pickaxe. Certain minerals you'll find have more "specialized" uses -- uranium structures will irradiate people, plasma can start fires, gibtonite goes boom. You can also buy dangerous "mining" tools and possibly even revive those monsters you've been fighting. As long as you have some mineral wealth or an ore box with you, no one will suspect your presence around the station, even in highly restricted areas like robotics or toxins, and if you are smart enough, you could get a big stompy mech to drill people to death!
