Just put their lab closer to the main hall.
People complain about geneticists sitting in their lab all round doing nothing, BUT at the same time they see no issue in isolating genetics even more by placing them the further.
Some locations are going to be visited wether they're directly next to the main hallway or a bit farther.
Transposing one of them with genetics would cause more interactions with the crew for a few reasons.
- People don't necessarily want to go out of their way to get powers especially since they can expect only useless things half the time from activators, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't mind a quick injector if they don't have to get out of their way to acquire it. Don't neglect that, even if it takes no time to go through maint or medbay to get there, it's still a movement you don't bother to do unless maybe you're a traitor or preparing to combat one.
- A consequence of the first : more direct interaction with the crew (instead of sometimes ignored calls for visitors over the radio) means they just -have- to take the crew into consideration. You can't ignore people bashing windows to get in, and you're going to get more of that and more often if you keep ignoring people now that your department is in the open.
You're also more likely to get attacked by a traitor I guess ? Depending on how much more you're attacked, you may start paying more attention to the radio and to who's passing by your department, now that it's no longer at a dead end.
I was thinking (for cog1) about where robotics is. People are going to use robotics wether it's located closer to the main hall or where genetics is at the moment. The benefits for both the crew and the geneticists would be greater than the loss of roboticists' view on the main hallway.
But that's never going to happen, people just hate this department. It's hated because of the braindead (lack of) behavior of some geneticists (it seems?), but see no issue making this problem bigger by isolating them.
