* In the main DNA Scanner Access Console screen, click '''''Buffer Menu'''''. This is your buffer screen. You will notice there are THREE buffers there. More than enough. Each buffer can save either an UI, or an UI+UE, or, more importantly, an SE. Generally speaking, you will only ever bother with the SE part. | * In the main DNA Scanner Access Console screen, click '''''Buffer Menu'''''. This is your buffer screen.

* To ''' | * To '''save your work into a buffer''', once your pod is occupied, simply click ''Save to Buffer''. This will save the subjects Unique Enzymes, Unique Identifiers, and Structural Enzymes. You can make individual injectors of each of these, but not one with all. What you saved is now backed up by the console, and, if not overwritten, is now safe. Good stuff. You can relabel the buffer to make sure of what it is. For instance, calling your original test subject's SE something like "Clean Backup - Stevenson, F.", or calling an SE that has Hulk isolated something like "Hulk". Simple, but very helpful to not get lost. <br>''Note: you can transfer a buffer's content into the pod's occupant, making it easier to transfer research data between subjects. Just stick a test subject in there, click ''Buffers'', as usual, then click ''Occupant'', right after '''Transfer To:''.'' | ||
* '''Make use of all three buffers.''' Assuming you have a human with clean SEs inside your pod, you can save his SE in the first buffer, and name it Clean Backup. The last two buffers can be used to find powers. Say, once you find your first power, you save it to the second buffer. Once you get your second power working with the first, save it to the third buffer. Once you get the third power working with the others, overwrite the second buffer, since it is now irrelevant. Same thing with fourth power. | * '''Make use of all three buffers.''' Assuming you have a human with clean SEs inside your pod, you can save his SE in the first buffer, and name it Clean Backup.

* That covers buffers. But '''"what are injectors?"''' you may ask yourself. Well, injectors are tiny one-shot needles, that contain buffer data, whatever it may be. That means you can now turn that sweet, sweet Hulk buffer into a small, awesome, orange/red injector! Good stuff. To turn a buffer into an injector, simply click Injector in the options below the buffer in question, after "Transfer To:". A small needle will spawn on top of the DNA Scanner Access Console. You can now stick his baby in anyone who stands around for enough time. ''Note: The DNA Scanner Access Console takes time to replicate an injector. Something like 90 seconds or close to it.'' | * That covers buffers. But '''"what are injectors?"''' you may ask yourself.

* Because of injectors, Geneticists are usually '''asked to give people superpowers'''. This is best judged by the Research Director, who is in charge of the research. If you want to be like Marvel and give everyone superpowers, be ready for Security Officers knocking on your door because nothing gets the station down like a herd of assistants with Hulk. So be ready to say "no" a lot. Usually the Geneticists are allowed to have powers, but note that if you run around the station while being a hulk, you're probably going to get a lot of attention from the security and be the prime suspect if (when) anything happens. Don't go on a killing/destroying rampage if you're a hulk, it is a bannable offense. ''Note: Admins have confirmed that if people inject themselves with a needle they found lying around that says "Godhood" on it without even asking what is in it, you will NOT get punished by turning them into monkeys. Wink wink. Just make sure to answer truthfully if asked, and not to inject it yourself. If people are stupid enough to inject themselves with unknown content, let them.'' | * Because of injectors, Geneticists are usually '''asked to give people superpowers'''.

* | * '''Diskettes''' can use them to backup your work as well! With one in your hand, click the DNA Scanner Access Console. Now enter the Buffer screen. Click ''Save To'' in there to save the data to the diskette. If the diskette is not write-protected, the data is going in there! From the main screen, you can eject the disk from the console. You can also load data from a diskette much the same way. Except you click in ''Load From'' in the buffer screen, instead of ''Save To''. | ||
