Guide to genetics: Difference between revisions

* First of all, you have to know that, for all things cloning, the [[CMO]] has a final say. He is your boss on this side of genetics. If he tells you to clone someone and not some other guy, you do it. The only person with higher say than him on these matters is the Captain.

* On to the specifics! How does cloning work, you ask? Well, it's quite simple! Just put a '''grab or pull''' him/her and stuff that puppy up '''in the [[DNA Modifier]] and close the door'''. If you want to remove someone from a DNA Modifier, click on it to open the door. Unless the modifier is locked, the person/monkey inside is going to pop right out.

* After the modifier is already occupied, '''interact with the console'''. You will see a few things. Now, the most important is the first. Click '''Scan''' to see if the person inside is actually not an empty husk! If there is no ghost inside the corpse, you will get a ''"Mental interface failure!"''-message, and you will not be able to clone that person. If that happens, try waiting a minute and try again. Attempting to scan their body will notify them via the chat log. If they still do not respond, however, take the corpse to the morgue and be done with it. Corpses who seem to have suicided with ''no hope of recovery'' cannot be cloned and you should be taken straigh to the morgue.

* If there IS a [[ghost]] in that corpse, however, you will get a '''successful scan -message'''. That means you now have that person's cloning data saved. You can use that at any time. But, after it's used, it's erased from the records. The only way you can save a person's genetic data is with a Cloning Diskette, which is found in the DNA Modification room.

* After you actually have DNA data from a person, '''click Check Records''', and then '''select the person who you want to have cloned'''. You will see a list of their UI+UE and their SEs, which are quite irrelevant. '''Click Clone'''. You will notice that the Cloning Pod is now fully active, with a shadow inside. That is the new body. You can now '''take the old corpse out of the DNA Modifier''', '''strip it completely''' so the cloned person can have his/her stuff back, and '''place the old corpse in the morgue'''. You don't have to worry about it anymore.

* The cloning process takes from 2 to 3 minutes. For whoever is getting cloned, it seems like a very long time. But it's not long for you. While the guy is getting his new body set up, take his '''belongings and stuff them all in the locker''' right by the cloning pod, so their stuff isn't scattered all over. Plus, cloning the captain and leaving his ID and other secure items on the floor sure is bad.
