Failsafe switch for Research.

[Vengarr]

Like Ursula said, literally the entire point of the station's existence is research. It wouldn't make sense to have provisions to lock that stuff down.

The station clearly only exists as a tax dodge for NanoTrasen, since no actual research takes place in Research. Even the Artifact Lab only cares about turning the things on, not how or why they work.

Besides being funny, the other reason I'm suggesting this is to give an incentive for science to toe the line. Being selected as a traitor scientist is like winning the lottery. You have a million ways to fuck up the station with zero oversight, conveniently located in a nice, secluded part of the station where your colleagues don't ask too many questions as long as you don't touch their stuff. In my ideal station, the Research Director is nervously patrolling the halls to ensure he does not get flushed out the airlock along with his office.
