Do you wish to overthrow all jobs on the station? Do you wish to be at the most bombed place on the entire station? Do you want to make an ungodly amount of explosives and drones? If any of these match, this is a job for you!

The goal of the research assistant role is for you, the player, to learn about how to be a scientist! Focus on learning and improving and having fun over anything else.

Sections of Science

Robotics

Robotics is the synthetic lifeblood of the station.

Robotics is a department that strives to create as many synthetic lives as they can to help the station and it's crew. Roboticists can make small and helpful bots, such as medibots. They may also focus on more expensive creations like cyborgs and mechs like the Ripley.

Anomalous Research

Anomalous Research is a subdepartment of R&D focused around the containment and manipulation of various unique anomalies.

One of R&D's main ways to harvest research points, and the leading cause of headaches in captains of non-coordinated stations. These anomalies can be extremely dangerous to the station if left alone so be careful!

Xenoarcheology

Xenoarcheology is the other main methodology for producing research points.

This methodology for harvesting is simultaneously safer for the station and more dangerous for science personnel. This section of science involves a lot of trial and error to figure out to activate alien artifacts. These artifacts can be really mild or really dangerous depending on their depth.
