The usual shift starts with running into the pen and grabbing a monkey. I have seen geneticists take about three/four minutes to only get the monkey inside the scanner. Luckily this has become better over time even if only by a little. By far the easiest, most efficient way to do this is by pulling the monkey. No fudging with intent, just open the door, CTRL+click the nearest mammal NOT YOUR COWORKER and walk back before the pen closes. You can just open the scanner by clicking on it, walking into it and walking back into your monkey. Then click the scanner and your monkey is in, all in about twenty seconds tops! | The usual shift starts with running into the pen and grabbing a monkey.

The "LOCK" button does what it promises, it locks down the scanner. Previously, you could get out of the scanner when it was locked by resisting. The true lock button is the apc, turn off the power and the scanner isn't going to open, ever. There is also a glitch that prevents your screams from being heard when inside a scanner, so if you manage to snitch someones headset of you can just throw them inside and experiment, with no one wiser. | The "LOCK" button does what it promises, it locks down the scanner.

You inject fiveteen units every time you press the button up to a visible ninety units. Untested, but the radiation seems to have a lessened effect when you overdose your monkey with this stuff. Important note: This does not cure toxins damage, this only lowers radiation levels. | ||

This button switches the computer between radiating the living hell out of your subject and saving current genetic data in the case you lost it, in case of changelings, in case of a thermonuclear war or to start yet another Uristpocalypse (alternatively, you can safe your progress this way). Asides from that, it really isn't anything but an ordinary switch. | ||

The "OUTPUT LEVEL" is how much you irradiate your monkey; it increases randomness of the scanner and exactly how much a gene changes.

At first glance, this might seem random. And it is! Each round your monkeys get assigned to a random SE string, and each block gets a reset. Never will everything be set in stone like some other jobs, which makes this all the more fun! | At first glance, this might seem random. And it is!

If you look closely | If you look closely you should be able to determine which block is the Monkey Human Gene (MHG) and how to lower it. Take a moment to look at the example above. Every block shares ONE thing in common, aside from one. | ||

Yes, no? Found it? The answer is block five. Why? It just is! And it's always random! Isn't genetics a whole lot of fun? | Yes, no? Found it? The answer is block five ([5]EF0). Why? It just is! And it's always random! Isn't genetics a whole lot of fun? In short, it's the one block with DNA higher than 799. | ||
You could attempt to radiate the monkey with the standard 1/2 settings, but that is a living hell. Instead, you tune the console to get radiation settings you like (I recommend output level 8 and pulse duration 5) and then CLICK THE FIRST NUMBER of the block. NOT the greyed out number, the BLUE one. If you happen to be colourblind, that's the second number on the left. In this case, the letter "E". It should change to either a different number, or a different letter. If it doesn't you either had an odd roll or something else mutated because your accuracy was too low because you had bad luck. When the FIRST number of the string goes below 800 (in this case, 0F0 to 7F0 works) you open your scanner. Congratulations, you have a human! | |||
