Revision as of 11:59, 6 January 2014

Research plays an extremely vital role of fighting the Icon 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 Icon Mush, granting the crew bonus Glory 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 Action Point, and the efficiency is increased for Icon Biologist and Icon Medic characters:

Icon Description Efficiency
0.png Neither Icon Biologist nor Icon Medic Base efficiency
1.png Icon Biologist or Icon Medic (i.e. only one) Base efficiency + 4-6%
2.png Icon Biologist and Icon Medic (i.e. both) Base efficency + 8-12%

The BIOS affects research in that the Crew Lock can be set to Research, limiting participation to Icon Biologist and Icon Medic characters, and CPU Priority can also be set to Research, increasing efficiency by 1%. Icon 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:


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. Icon Chun earns an additional 4 Glory each time a research requiring her presence is completed. Icon Finola earns an additional 3 Glory for all Mush-related research.

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.
