the plasma spore research could be centered around feeding and breeding the lil suckers to manage their explosive tendencies and find a way to grind them up/milk them for self-sustaining plasma supply, to the point of bottling fresh canisters of plasma for engineers to burn or selling the new plasma thru qm
they could collect gene scans of other critters too and stick them in a gene machine that takes research budget funds to spit out a critter for them to kill/let loose/eat/dissect for its wendigo arms. if you want to make it hard for jerks to spam killer critters, just up the price needed to copy the dangerous ones, and boost the price for each successive copy. it using research dept funds will also theoretically demand some degree of budgetary oversight from the captain, hop, research director, or ai.
naturally these department functions have significant terrorist applications, as you can imagine
but maybe they could try to make harmless domesticated pet ice spiders for you too :3
you could also try to make these guys in charge of the monkey taming/training/mind controlling shit that people keep suggesting. space pokemon monkey knife fight
