About the PR
The CDC has begun outsourcing its pathogen analysis efforts to willing research facilities. There's nothing in the boxes yet, and the CDC is rather stingy in how many samples they are willing to provide.

I plan to make more PRs to fix pathology. Here is a living design doc that I am using to guide my work: https://hackmd.io/@XyzzyThePretender/B10Kp-DP5


Why's this needed?
This is the first part of a hopefully long set of changes in order to rework pathology back into modern Goon. Changing the QM console is relatively simple compared to the pathology files. There are still significant issues to address:
- What happens when a CDC crate is destroyed
- How to generate and spawn a sample (where should the generation code be?)
- How to calculate the reward for returning analyzed samples
- Fixing the hang on the '3-crate limit' message on the QM console
- Code style errors

This PR won't be ready to merge for some time.
