Periodical Science Department Information Post

Welcome to the ship, to all of the new people I have been accidentally ignoring since the last release from the pod caverns. I discovered a new species of slug in the water at hydroponics and I've spent the last few weeks cultivating and breeding my own tank of them because I believe I'm starting to lose my mind.

In any case, my name is Dr. Luis Sera and I'm the Chief Science Officer and head of the Science Department on this lovely vessel. The Science Department is responsible for scientific research and development in all areas of practice-- physics, chemistry, biology, and anything else that doesn't fall under Engineering or Medical. We are called upon to assist other departments of the ship and crew members in commissioned scientific work. If you are experienced in any discipline of science and this sounds like a good time to you, you are welcome to inquire about joining the department.

Joining the department gives you free access to the Contagion Laboratory across the hall from Medbay, given that you agree with two simple stipulations:

1. All projects using department facilities and resources must receive ethical approval by the Chief Science Officer (myself.)
2. You will not work on anything that has more than a reasonable chance it is going to explode, infect, mutate, or otherwise horribly kill us all.

There is also absolutely no biological weaponry research allowed in department facilities. It gives me a headache and I have had way too many headaches for one lifetime.

Other than that, you're free to pursue your own avenues of work. Good deal, right?

This announcement is also to let you know that we are always accepting new projects. So if you are a crew member and you are in need of some type of specific research, please let me know and I will see the project handed off to a capable member of our staff. We are here to help you in any way we can.

In any case, if you are interested in joining or commissioning the department, please contact me here and let me know.

- Dr. L. Sera
