Revision as of 11:49, 6 January 2014
Research plays an extremely vital role of fighting the
Mush menace, slowing their advance and complicating their foul deeds. Eventually, as research grows more complex and advanced tools become available, a permanent Mush cure and a a distant Utopian world can even be discovered. Nothing is impossible for the resourceful crew for the Daedalus!
Mechanics
The Research Lab terminal can be accessed in the Laboratory. It brings up options for fighting
Mush, granting the crew bonus
Glory and provides a number of useful commodities.
Research can be a Dirty affair, and since NERON will lock unclean personnel out of the research console, wearing the Stainproof Apron when participating is recommended to avoid long treks to the shower.
Participating in research costs 2
, and the efficiency is increased for
Biologist and
Medic characters:
| Icon | Description | Efficiency |
|---|---|---|
| |
Neither |
Base efficiency |
| |
|
Base efficiency + 4-6% |
| |
|
Base efficency + 8-12% |
The BIOS affects research in that the Crew Lock can be set to Research, limiting participation to
Biologist and
Medic characters, and CPU Priority can also be set to Research, increasing efficiency by 1%.
TODO: Percentage needs confirmation
Many research options have certain conditions that must be met before they become available, including the presence of certain objects or characters in the Laboratory. If these conditions are not met, the research option will not be visible, though any progress made on them is preserved. The most important conditions for research are:
- Presence of a Mush Sample (can be replaced by decoding a Xyloph DB entry
- Presence of the Mush Genome Disk, which can be obtained by decoding a Xyloph DB entry
- The presence of
Zhong Chun (can be replaced by decoding a Xyloph DB entry
- The death of a
Mush agent (the place of death is irrelevant, it can be even outside Daedalus)
The
gained for certain research projects is immediately obtained by all living humans upon completion, and an additional
can be earned when reaching Sol or Eden.
Chun earns an additional 4
each time a research requiring her presence is completed.
Finola earns an additional 3
for all Mush-related research.

Pheromodem
Humans can access the Mush channel (read and write), but their names are obfuscated:
- Everyone talks as "Mush"
- 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
The Mush see their channel just like before.
