==Research==
The Research Lab terminal can be accessed in the Laboratory.
It brings up options for fighting Mush, increasing the glory for Humans and gives a couple useful commodities.

A BIOS setting can limit research to be done only by Biologists and Medics.
You have to be clean (not dirty) to be able to do research, so wearing the [[Stainproof Apron]] when participating is recommended.

Many of the research options only become available when certain items or people are present.
If these conditions are not met, the research option is not visible, but the progress made on them is preserved.
*The most important items for research are
**[[Mush Sample]], this can be later replaced by a Xyloph DB entry
** [[Mush Genome Disk]] can be obtained by finishing a Xyloph DB entry
*The presence of Zhong Chun in the Laboratory, can be replaced by a Xyloph DB entry later
* The death of a Mush agent (the place of death is irrelevant, it can be even outside Daedalus)

Participating in research costs 2 AP, and the efficiency depends on the skills [[Biologist]] and [[Medic]]. The CPU Priority settings in BIOS can also affect this.

The glory gained for certain research projects is immediately obtained by all living humans upon completion, and an additional glory can be earned when reaching [[Sol]] or [[Eden]].
[[Chun]] earns an additional 4 glory each time a research requiring her presence is completed.
[[Finola]] earns an additional 3 glory for all Mush-related research.

* The names of the participants are scrambled, but the number of letters remain the same (including space). This affects all previous communication on Mush channel as well.
**3 letters: Hua, Ian
**4 letters: Chao, Chun
**5 letters: Paola
**6 letters: Finola, Frieda, Gioele, Janice, Jin Su, Raluca, Roland
**7 letters: Kuan Ti, Stephen, Eleesha
**8 letters: Terrence
