GENETICS

[Dr_Bee]

I played geneticist today, not by choice, I wanted to be the HoP. I decided to set an example and be a good helpful geneticist so I walked around scanning practically the entire crew with my PDA, letting the other geneticist know I was doing that over the medical channel. When I got back he'd fucked off and I found out that the scans were bugged and unusable. So I started trying to work on monkeys but as soon as I grabbed one they all filled me with staples and beat me into crit. Once I'd got healed up and stuck one in each scanner at last, everything went smoothly until I realised I'd seen a gene in both monkeys and decided to print out both incomplete genes so I could complete it. At that point, the computers became so laggy that they were basically impossible to work with. Over the course of the round I mentioned several times that I was scanning people, and that I was happy to check the genes of anyone who volunteered, but nobody listened to any of it.

So I don't think genetics is in an OK state at all.

yea, welcome to new genetics. you get no respect and the social half of the job is bugged. just giving genetics a pair of cuffs would make it a little more bearable.
