Cool idea for Diseases and zlevels. - atomic1fire - 05-27-2014
Going to other zlevels, for example from telescience, should carry a risk of catching strange or unknown diseases. In addition telescience accidents could probably carry a small rate of infection if something is released on the station. That risk could be minor or dangerous depending on what and were.
for instance "Does this room have dead bodies in it? yes. We should totally not go in there without a biosuit"
It would be a good supplement to telescience and pathology (if that ever comes back), having to go find dead test subjects or scan members of the crew. Also warning people not to go near strange corpses without a disease resistant uniform.
In addition it would be a good way to explain where all these diseases come from. I mean it's not like zombie disease just happens to be on the spaceship at random.

In Star Trek, the teleporters were smart enough to take out the foreign nasties you might bring back in or on you. Perhaps a filter unit could be added to the teleporter system that needs to be repaired to work, but would remove most pathogens from you. Perhaps said filter could be tampered with...

If pathology was readded you could maybe be an even bigger jerk and figure out what's inside the filter, and then mix and match.
