Geneticist: Difference between revisions

You start in [[Medbay]] and literally get to play God. This is a very technical class, but there are a few simple things people can do that are still learning the ins and out of genetics. The main thing you're meant for: find super powers, fix disabilities, and cloning dead people.

You need to finish the cloning process over in Cryogenics, so make sure the Cryochambers are loaded with [[Cryoxadone]]. Have some [[Mannitol]] at hand to cure their massive brain damage, too. This is known as 'Hypercloning', and it speeds up the process of cloning significantly, frees up the cloning machine for another patient, gives cryogenics and bored [[Medical Doctor|medical doctors]] something to do, and it's not inconvenient because they're naked coming out of the pod anyway.

===Genetic Backup===

You can take a scan off of someone while they're alive and create a genetic backup ready to be cloned in case they die. This is useful to those of especially high risk of an irretrievable death like the chief engineer or captain.

== Tips ==

* If the cloning process changed your looks, you can stuff your old (dead) body in a DNA modifier, scan the UI/UE, and inject those into yourself to get your old appearance back.

* If someone has a cavity implanted item, you can instantly remove it by monkeying them.

* Radiation (and thus radstorms and mutagen) has a very, VERY small chance to give non-negative effects. One of the "Gotta go fast" schools of genetics is to hit a monkey person with a load of mutagen and get most of the disability blocks in five minutes.

* It can be empirically shown that, for an upgraded machine, a pulse duration of 4 seconds is the most efficient trade-off of time and success rate.

== Being a mad <s>scientist</s> geneticist?! ==

As a [[traitor]], you are pretty much able to do anything you want to dead people in your lab, granted you don't have a [[Roboticist|coworker]] or [[Head of Security|babysitter]]. After sticking about for a few moments, any [[security]] forces usually vanish from the room of medium priority targets, like the [[Research Director|RD]] or [[Chief Engineer|CE]]. At this time, you can then loot their items and access, or even their appearance! You can easily replace people, just be sure to get rid of the original and wear the right clothes! Perhaps it will help you in the long run.

==== Tips for traitoring ====

* Monkey SE's are a hell of a weapon.

* Change your identity if you're caught breaking the space law. Keeps people off of you.

** And if you have x-ray you're even more unstoppable than before. You can hide in lockers in maint and scheme around all you want.

* XRAY + TK can be used to insert the onehuman upload card from outside the upload. Unfortunately, you cannot activate the freeform module correctly.
