Viruses don't always have to be something to be avoided. With a bit of work you can engineer friendly viruses that come with a number of beneficial symptoms, such as eliminating the need to eat, or even one that lets the body regenerate its own health. Just make sure you clear it with the [[CMO]] and let the station know what your friendly virus does before releasing it, or you might find yourself at the end of a pitchfork.

* Keep good watch of the infected monkeys you test your virus on. If one were to escape they could spread the virus and you would have 2 forces of mass anger looking upon you. A good way to prevent this is always chaining moneys to their beds in separate rooms and not running about. If a monkey does get out immediately inform the gods and start making a cure.
* Putting your [[Bio Suit|biohazard suit]] on speaks volumes to the trained CMO. Avoid this if you do not want them on your back.
* After viruses reach a certain stealth level, they will not appear on [[Health scanner hud|medHUD]] interfaces and [[Health analyzer|health analyzers]] and hide warning signs of symptoms before they activate.
* Syringes can be used to safely extract blood out of infected monkeys or humans.
* Keep a good eye on your monkeys. If they were to escape, they could spread a virus, and you would have two forces of mass anger looking upon you. A way to prevent this is by chaining the monkeys to their beds in separate rooms. If a monkey does get out, immediately inform the gods and start working on making a cure.

Being a [[traitor]] is where a dangerous [[jobs|job]] like this one really shines. You can crack a virus crate open and play exciting games with the many toys inside. Brain Rot is a fine way to screw over the crew, and if people wonder about you, mumble something unintelligible. (even though a good virologist would've cured himself already).
