As a research station, there are a lot of departments of research; the study of space viruses is one of those research departments! Congratulations doctor, you have been selected to study and treat various types of viruses, and create valuable vaccines. So grab your [[latex gloves]] and get your [[breath mask]] on and hole yourself up in [[Virology]], it is time to perform some disease research. | As a research station, there are a lot of departments of research; the study of space viruses is one of those research departments!

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. | Viruses don't always have to be something to be avoided.

* | * 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 [[Adminhelp|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). | Being a [[traitor]] is where a dangerous [[jobs|job]] like this one really shines.
