So you're going to be the caretaker of a [[Psionic Mantis|bunch]] of [[Chaplain|fanatic]] [[Scientist|researchers]] with access to some of the most dangerous things on the station!

Alongside your department, you are dedicated to discovering the secrets of the Noösphere and furthering our knowledge of the universe. As such, you will generally find yourself with a great degree of freedom on how you want to accomplish that exploration. Just keep an eye on the glimmer levels.

== Organize Your Cultists ==
The Mystagogue is in charge of the Epistemics department and oversees the duties of [[Research and Development]]. While they will ideally have <s>cultists</s> Scientists under them to aid in research, they are expected to have at least a fundamental understanding of how to operate their department in the event of having a lack of staff. It's very important to understand what is and is not allowed in your department, your department is able to create controlled items that your scientists can get in trouble for even making these include (but are not limited to) All bluespace tech (yes even magic crayons), Jaws of life, and Quantum Switch Inverters.

=== Directing Research ===

As the Mystagogue the bread and butter of your work aboard the station is ensuring research is done. It is your job to lead the broadening of our understanding of the universe around us, discovering new technologies that allow everyone on board to do their jobs better and more efficiently. This may sound like a complicated and scary endeavour but thankfully due to the miracles of modern science, research is now completed through spending "Research Points" on the technology of your choice at the Research Computer. However you do have the option of researching with your research Digi-Board so if your members are not listening to you, disabling the Research Computer and managing research yourself will allow for more control at the cost of efficiency.

[[Scientist|Scientists]] will be your primary subordinates. They will be working with [[Xenoarcheology|analysing artefacts]], [[Anomalous Research|dealing with anomalies]] or [[The Oracle|requisitioning things for the oracle]]. You may want to ensure that all these jobs are manned by assigning your scientists roles at the start of the shift but usually they can be flexible if they know what they are doing.

Don't forget to check on the Scientists every now and then to ensure they are doing their jobs. If there's not much to do, direct them around the station in search of whatever object [[the Oracle]] demands of you.

Make sure that the [[Psionic Mantis]] is available and alive for emergencies. They will be invaluable for making a record of the station's [[psionics]] for when Code White may run around. However it's important to keep them in check for if they start mindbreaking people that is like a serious felony and thats seriously not great.

The [[Chaplain]] has the habit of trying to build a cult. If this cult becomes violent or disrespectful to other people's beliefs its recomended that you do something about it and call security if it becomes extreme.

Research Points can be obtained from the following sources:
* Passive generation from Glimmer Probers
* Completing quests for the Oracle
* Destroying alien artifacts after researching their properties
* The discovery of new diseases by the Medical staff
* Analyzing Anomalies

=== Your Defence ===
At the start of each shift, the Mystagogue is one of the more vulnerable heads of staff on board. Unlike the other heads, you don't get fancy defence capabilities but you get a cool Hand Teleporter. Keep it safe and don't lose it.

As Mystagogue, you also have access to a Book of Mysteries. This mystical book contains many secrets, and can allow you to make a mystical wall only passable by you. so make sure to thoroughly investigate its wonders if you find it strapped to you! To deal with supernatural beings such as Wisps or [[Revenant|Revenants]] you get the Dispel [[Psionics|psionic ability]]. It can also be used against anomalies however it takes about two shots with dispel so using dispel with a CHIMP or APE would be a good idea.

== Communication ==
Communicate and cooperate with other departments if Anomalies or Artefacts appear on the station that need investigation or dispelment. You, and your team, are not able to be everywhere all at once. Remember to, once in a while, advertise for the crew to call out locations of anomalies if they see one.

You will also be the person in charge of managing the [[glimmer]] and the [[Construction|constructions]] of probers and drainers. If glimmer gets too high you are allowed to call [[Alert_Procedure#White_Alert|White Alert]] to incite people to stop using their psionic powers and get mindbroken if needed

== Glimmer and You ==

Glimmer is a measurement of the average noöspheric pressure. The noösphere is a field linking the minds of all sentient beings. The study of Glimmer is what separates you from the puny minded ingrates known as scientists on other stations. Delving into the noösphere using your Glimmer Probers is a gateway to great knowledge and how you will gain perform much of your initial research.

You will be the person in charge of managing the [[glimmer]] and the [[Construction|constructions]] of probers and drainers. If glimmer gets too high (past 500Ψ or 400Ψ if things are getting out of control) you are allowed to call [[Alert_Procedure#White_Alert|White Alert]] to incite people to get mindbroken so they stop using their psionic powers.

As your probers do their work, the average glimmer level on the station will rise. If the level grows past 500Ψ the probers themselves will begin to spark with latent psionic energy and you may find yourself unable to turn them off as they become self sustaining.

In cases of emergencies like this, you are recommended to build Glimmer [[Glimmer#Drainers|Drainers]]. You need ectoplasm from this which can be found in higher amounts due to glimmer mites, revenants, and glimmer wisps spawning pretty rapidly when glimmer exceeds 500Ψ. However <s>Bribing</s> asking a Botanist to make some Cosmic Revenants at the start of a shift is a good idea as they get a good source of ectoplasm when ground up.

|guides=[[Supply Crates]], [[Shuttle Piloting]]
|aliases=Deck Worker, Inventory Associate, "techie", "cargie"}}
Cargo Technician's job is to supply the station's crew with what they need and dispose of excess items to get zorks in the bank. Cargo's responsibilities aren't too complicated. You take orders and keep items moving through the department as efficiently as possible. It's the execution that matters.

Orders typically are placed either by you or anyone else at the cargo request terminal in the front of the department. The order needs to be then approved by someone with 'Orders' access, typically the [[Logistics Officer]]. You may also get access from the LO to have Orders access yourself! Regardless, as the person submitting the order, you are the first line of defence against the worst Space Crime of all, budget mismanagement.

==Your responsibilities==
Your responsibilities as a cargo technician are, as described above, generally straightforward. You need to make money in order to fill requests for other departments and your own. If you don't have money, you won't have AME fuel, or guns when Syndicate have inevitably bombed out the armory. Most of the time the bulk of your cash comes from Salvage, but early on, having you or one of your fellow technicians go and raid the station's maintenance tunnels for items to sell is not a terrible idea.

Importantly, it is NOT your job to empty the station of everything worth selling/deconstructing. Hallways and maintenance tunnels may have things worth selling and are typically free-game. However regarding objects around a department, you may want to check with the Head of that Department first.

Do not take objects that would reasonably be useful where they are. For example selling chairs and tables at a bar, a vending machine in the hallways or medical supplies from [[Medical]] can be annoying to other players (regardless of how much they are worth or how low your funds are).

If low on funds, there are plenty of departments that can [[Construction|make you objects]] to sell (even [[Hydroponics]] can operate without power). Your role is to expect the unexpected and get funds and supplies BEFORE an emergency situation if possible.

If you think an order is suspicious, ask the crewmember for a stamp or to fill out a request so you have it in writing who requested it. If something expensive is being requested, ask the crewmember to provide something to trade for it. While orders are slow, it's also a good idea to grab things to sell.

==Your equipment==
[[File:Appraisal Tool.png|64px]]

As a cargo technician your equipment is very basic, though you do come with an appraisal tool in your pocket. This appraisal tool allows you to scan items about the station and determine their value. This will allow you to get some starting funds in your account while you wait for [[Salvage Specialist|salvage]] to get items worth selling or for [[Botanist|botany]] to make surplus plants.

==Cargo Ordering Computer==
[[File:ComputerCargoOrder.png|64px]]

You use the ordering computer to put in orders for the shuttle to buy from other stations. When you open the UI you should see a vast list of crates you can order; anything from dice games to firearms. When someone at the front desk asks for something it's your job to input what they asked for into the computer, preferably under their name. You can click on anything from the list to view its description and price. Just below that is the quantity you are ordering and the name of the person who ordered it as well as the reason it's being ordered. After you input what you want the order needs to be approved by someone with Orders access. This is typically the LO or Captain, however, the LO may upgrade your access to give you Orders access as well.

==Cargo Request Computer==
[[File:ComputerCargoRequest.png|64px]]

The request computer is what you use to recall and call the station's logistics shuttle. It is rather simple to learn however if you screw up it can easily mess up several orders.

Once you have some accepted orders you are going to want to call the shuttle meaning you should open the UI and find the call shuttle button. You should also see all the accepted orders under the button, these are the orders that will be on the shuttle.

After you dock the shuttle and unload it you are going to want to recall it. Once you move the shuttle 250m away from the station you can press the recall button which will have replaced the call button. Before you can call the shuttle again you will have to wait a short time. Recalling the shuttle when there is anything on the cargo pallets will sell those objects. Try to avoid calling the shuttle then immediately recalling it as it will sell all the orders you just called in. At a loss.

The Logistics Shuttle is also just that, for all of Logistics. There may be a time when Salvage wants to borrow it in order to ferry items or make major hauls. Always work with the rest of your department in order to make sure everyone can use the shuttle to their advantage.

==Shuttle Console==
[[File:ShuttleConsole.png|64px]]

[[File:External Airlock Example.png|frame|alt=An example of how to use external airlocks. Note the nubs of the airlock pointing at each other.|An example of how to use external airlocks. Note the nubs of the airlock pointing at each other.]]

This is what you use to actually pilot the shuttle. Once the shuttle is called it will appear a short distance out from the station. It's your job to locate the cargo docking ports and dock while avoiding punting the salvagers into deep space. (Usually, salvage is nearby cargo, which means that the 'unknown objects' that salvage draws in are usually nearby your docking area.)

Once you have unloaded the shuttle and have put all the items you wish to sell on, you will want to undock with the station and fly 250m away from it.

Left click the shuttle computer to take control of your shuttle.

Controls are:
*WASD to strafe forward, left, backwards and right,
*Q and E to spin left and right respectfully,
*Spacebar to brake. '''When in doubt, hold the brakes.'''

To select '''docking mode''', right click the console and toggle mode. While in docking mode, '''A''' is for thrusting left and '''D''' is for thrusting right. This is useful for parallel parking.

External airlock [Docking] are used for docking with ships/stations that also have docking airlocks. Once you have two docking airlocks face to face, right click the docking airlock and select the '''Dock''' verb. If successful, the docks will both open and you will be attached to the other vessel.

==Keeping Cargo tidy==
[[File:Cargo mess.png|thumb|An example of a messy Cargo]]

Make sure to organize any spare items that might be making a mess on the floor. To get rid of any empty crates that you don't need, use a screwdriver to take them apart. Put whatever you don't need on tables or inside other crates.

A paper trail can be useful if you're trying to track down who ordered what for certain heads. Having folks fill out a paper, or just jotting down weird orders and stamping them with approved can help certain investigations and encourages extra roleplay, which is always good. It might even make your [[Logistics Officer]] happy to have proper [[paperwork]].

|guides=[[Research_and_Development|Research]], [[Robotics]], (whenever a surgery guide gets added put it here :p)
|aliases=N/A}}

The Roboticist is the person on station with the duty to create Cyborgs that work as essentially extra crew members, or to repair IPC crew members who have taken damage. Just like a scientist you are under the full lead of the Mystagogue however you have to worry less about glimmer and research as opposed to normal scientists. With that being said if things are not going well for epistemics or an anomaly needs to be found you should still be helping when you don't have the ability to make Borg's.

__TOC__
== Cyborgs ==
:''Main Article: [[Robotics|Cyborgs]]''

The main function of a Roboticist on station is to create borgs. Borgs are meant to be a helping subservient hand to other departments or your own. Borgs have their own set of laws that they must follow that are more important than anything other than server rules, these laws go from top to bottom in importance and if one law contradicts another the upper law will be the one it follows. You can heal Borgs by by simply using a welder on them and in a short time they will be back to full health. You make a Borg by making all the parts and just attaching them to a frame then adding 2 flashes and some lv's. Then you need to give the borg a brain by putting a biological brain into a Man Machine Interface or make a positronic brain from your Fabricator. After that your borg can choose its chassis of choice and get to work on the station or serving others. You can put in new batteries or take out the brain by unlocking it by alt clicking and using a screwdriver to open its panel.

== IPC's ==
The other function of a Roboticist is to do work on the species of the IPC's. IPC's can be healed by using a welder to heal brute damage, Plastic to stop bleeding, glass to fix eye damage, and lv's to fix burning damage. IPC limbs can be made in the exosuit Fabricator as well as oil packs that IPC's use in place of blood.

The Mantis' main goal should be to make a list of all psionic sophonts on station and if needed also mindbreak them if glimmer gets too far out of hand and Code White is called. Your main ability is Metapsionic pulse which is used to detect psionic activity nearby, every time the noosphere sends out a pulse you should recheck the crew on board. While at first this does seem boring and mind numbing to constantly recheck the 30-80 crew members on station it's as fun as you make it, have a lil fun with it, use it as a chance to talk to people and get better with RP. Whenever you can get a list of all Psionics you find down on paper and show it to the Captain and Mystagogue and stamp it for added razzle dazzle. Your final job should it come down to it is assisting security and the Mystagogue if Glimmer wisps, Revenants, or other mysterious Glimmer related entities appear as your anti-psychic knife is very strong against them.

* Don’t forget you’re a member of Epistemics. You have the access and ability to progress research or control glimmer in the absence of acolytes.

* Telepathic speech comes through anonymously. While it can help you identify crew members with powers and can be used to communicate even when asleep however it can never be fully trusted.

The Mantis' main goal should be to make a list of all psionic sophonts on station and if needed also mindbreak them if glimmer gets too far out of hand and Code White is called. Your main ability is Metapsionic pulse which is used to detect psionic activity nearby, every time the noosphere sends out a pulse you should recheck the crew on board. While at first this does seem boring and mind numbing to constantly recheck the 30-80 crew members on station it's as fun as you make it, have a lil fun with it, use it as a chance to talk to people and get better with RP. Whenever you can get a list of all Psionics you find down on paper and show it to the Captain and Mystagogue and stamp it for added razzle dazzle. Your final job should it come down to it is assisting security and the Mystagogue if Glimmer wisps, Revenants, or other mysterious Glimmer related entities appear as your anti-psychic knife is very strong against them.

* Don’t forget you’re a member of Epistemics. You have the access and ability to progress research or control glimmer in the absence of acolytes.

* Telepathic speech comes through anonymously. While it can help you identify crew members with powers and can be used to communicate even when asleep however it can never be fully trusted.

* Psychics aren’t inherently evil. There are many who never use their powers or can be called upon to help in times of need. Don’t underestimate a trusted friend’s ability to gather information with Telegnosis.

* Unless on Code White, psionics are protected just like any other sophont. Only mindbreaker people with express permission of Captain, the Head of Security, or Mystagouge.

The Scientist is one of the stations intrepid researchers dedicated to discovering the secrets of the Noösphere and furthering our knowledge of the universe. Led by the [[Mystagogue|Mystagogue]], you journey around the station in search of whatever object the Oracle demands of you. Develop cool psychic powers and explore the mysteries of whatever strange alien artifact that Salvage drags through your doors next. Researchers should be trying to research more things and upgrading the station. For example some things on your agenda to upgrade or make for other departments are Cloning, Cargo telepad, industrial ore processor board, and things that people ask from you within reason. While it is tempting to upgrade all your equipment and make yourself every role in one, it is ill advised to only focus on getting stuff for yourself and instead help the rest of the station become the best it can be. Remember that if you don't help logistics they can't get you mats quickly, if you don't help medical they can't heal you <s>when</s> if you die to an artifact or anomaly, etc.

__TOC__
== Research ==
:''Main Article: [[Research_and_Development|Guide to Research]]''

As a scientist the bread and butter of your work aboard the station is doing research. It is your job to broaden our understanding of the universe around us, discovering new technologies that allow everyone on board to do their jobs better and more efficiently. This may sound like a complicated and scary endeavor but thankfully due to the miracles of modern science, research is now completed through spending "Research Points" on the technology of your choice at the Research Computer.

Research Points can be obtained from the following sources:
* Passive generation from Glimmer Probers
* Completing quests for the Oracle
* Destroying alien artifacts after researching their properties
* The discovery of new diseases by the Medical staff
* Analyzing Anomalies

== The Noösphere, Glimmer, and You ==
:''Main Article: [[Glimmer|Guide to Glimmer]]''

Glimmer is a measurement of the average noöspheric pressure. The noösphere is a field linking the minds of all sentient beings. The study of Glimmer is what separates our research departments in the Delta sector from those on other stations. Delving into the noösphere using your Glimmer Probers is a gateway to great knowledge and how you will gain perform much of your initial research.

Exploring the noösphere is not without risks however. As your probers do their mysterious work, the average glimmer level on the station will rise. Crewmembers will develop new and potentially dangerous psionic powers which will only fuel this growth as they are used. If the levels grow too high the probers themselves will begin to spark with latent psionic energy and you may find yourself unable to turn them off as they become self sustaining.

In cases of emergencies like this, you are recommended to build Glimmer Drainers and to help engineering move the Glimmer Probers to somewhere they can safely be disposed of, as the discharge of noöspheric energies tends to be... explosive. If you are unable to create Drainers due to having researching Advanced Musicology at request of the [[Clown|Clown]], your stations [[Chaplain|Chaplain]] may also be able to assist. Their help will not come without sacrifice however.

== The Oracle ==
:''Main Article: [[The Oracle|The Oracle]]''

== Xenoarchaelogy ==
:''Main Article: [[Xenoarcheology|Guide to Xenoarcheology]]''

Xenoarchaeology is an epistemics subdepartment focused on researching and experimenting on alien artifacts.

=== Artifacts ===
Artifacts consist of a randomly-generated graph structure. They consist of nodes connected to each other by edges, the traversal of which is the main goal of the scientists working on them. Each node has two main components: a stimulus and a reaction. A stimulus is an external behavior that triggers a reaction. Some reactions are instantaneous effects while others are permanent changes. Triggering the reaction causes the artifact to move through one of the node's edges to an adjacent node.

With these basic principles, you can begin to grasp how the different nodes of an artifact are interconnected, and how one can move between them by repeatedly activating nodes. While it might seem random to an untrained eye, a skilled scientist can learn to understand the internal structure of any artifact.

=== Artifact Analyzer and Analysis Console ===
The main equipment that you'll be using for Xenoarchaeology is the artifact analyzer and the analysis console. You can use these to create reports that contain valuable information about an artifact. To set them up, simply link them with a multitool, set an artifact on top of the analyzer, and press the Scan button. Using the console, you can extract the latent build up of energies from the artifact in exchange for research points. '''Sacrificing an artifact may result in a massive increase in glimmer.'''

Applefish33: Added a few more reactions, stimuli, and changed how edges work because they work differently on this server than others. unsure if this is a glitch but it will still help new player figure it out faster

{{Needs revision
|reason=Information may be outdated due to the Rebase Update. It could also use more information on how to activate things.
|image=RebaseWork.png
}}
Xenoarcheology is a method of point generation for [[Research_and_Development|R&D]] utilizing randomly generated artifacts. It is the job of [[Scientist|scientists]] to discover and activate the secrets of these artifacts.

__TOC__

== Equipment ==
The actual experimentation of artifacts uses a variety of equipment that can be found scattered around the station. This specifically focuses on the specific items used and contained within the xenoarcheology lab.

[[File:Analysis-console-ui.png|thumb|400px|''The analysis console ui before a scan.'']]
=== Analysis Console ===

[[File:Analysis Console.gif|64px]]

The analysis console is the main method of getting information about the artifacts that are being researched. In order to properly use it, it must be linked to an artifact analyzer via multitool as well as have a research server selected.

From the console itself, the screen displays information about the last artifact scanned. The buttons along the side perform various functions:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Button Name !! Description
|-
| Server List || Opens a menu for selecting a research server.
|-
| Scan || Scans the artifact currently on top of the linked pad. Scanning has a large energy intake and takes about a minute to complete for base-level artifact analyzers.
|-
| Print || Prints a paper copy of the scan. Can only print one copy per scan. Useful for manually organizing scans.
|-
| Extract || Extracts the research points from the artifact. The amount of points is based on how many nodes have been activated and will increase the glimmer count.
|}

=== Artifact Analyzer ===
[[File:Analyzer-full.png|64px]]

The artifact analyzer is a machine used in conjunction with the analysis console to scan artifacts to discover information about them. It can be upgraded with machine parts in order to reduce its power intake as well as the duration of its scans. Artifacts are scanned by placing them on this machine and then pressing the "scan" button on the console, which will cause it to scan. The scan will be interrupted by either the artifact being moved off of the artifact analyser or by the artifact being activated.

=== Node Scanner ===
[[File:Node Scanner.png|64px]]

The archaeologist's friend. It's able to identify the node ID of the artifact.

== Artifacts ==
[[File:Artifact-lineup.png|448px]]

Artifacts are the core of Xenoarcheology and are what scientists will be analyzing and experimenting on. Artifacts can take on a variety of random appearances and can be acquired in various ways, such as through finding them in the lab at the start of the round, purchasing them from [[Cargo Technician|Logistics]], getting them from [[Salvage Specialist|Salvage]], or finding them from the Bluespace Anomaly station event.

Artifacts consist of randomly generated "trees" which dictates the artifacts behavior. Each tree consists of various "nodes" which the artifact can be inside of. Nodes each contain a "trigger" and an "effect". Effects can be both passive, constantly occurring while inside the node, or active, occurring only when the artifacts trigger is met. Triggers cause the artifact to shift to a random adjacent node in the tree.

The activation of the various nodes is the main goal of Xenoarcheology. Unlocking the nodes of an artifact increases its value, both in research points and in spacebucks.

== Analysis Interpretation ==
[[File:Analysis-console-scan.png]]

Each scan of the artifact analyzer gives various data about the artifact:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! In-Game Phrase !! Meaning !! Description
|-
| NODE_ID || ID || A unique ID number corresponding to each node. Can be used for identification.
|-
| DEPTH || Node tree depth || The distance from the starting node of the tree. Higher depths correspond to more dangerous and harder to activate artifacts which in turn increase the value when discovered.
|-
| ACTIVATED || Activation || Whether or not the "trigger" for the node has been activated.
|-
| STIMULUS || Trigger || A hint about the specific trigger for this node. Usually gives a good idea about what activates the artifact.
|-
| REACTION || Effect || A hint about the effect for this node. Usually is vague and non-specific.
|-
| EDGES || Neighboring nodes || The number of nodes that are adjacent to the current node minus one meaning if you have an artifact with 3 edges it has 2 possible paths on Delta V. Other servers do not have this quirk.
|-
| CURRENT_VALUE || Point value || The number of research points that the artifact will give if extracted.
|}

It is important to note that each scan functions as a static snapshot of the current node. It does not update with the artifact and will only update when scanned again.

=== Stimulus ===
Some of the given hints for triggering an artifact are used for different scenarios, see Physical trauma which can vary from hugging it to attacking it. Things that deal with atmospheric changes, radiation, or beating the artifacts butt can scale with the depth so don't give up if it seems to not do much

|aliases="Mysta"}}
So you're going to be the caretaker of a [[Psionic Mantis|bunch]] of [[Chaplain|fanatic]] [[Scientist|researchers]] with access to some of the most dangerous things on the station!

Alongside your department, you are dedicated to discovering the secrets of the Noösphere and furthering our knowledge of the universe. As such, you will generally find yourself with a great degree of freedom on how you want to accomplish that exploration. Just keep an eye on the glimmer levels.

__TOC__

== Organize Your Cultists ==
The Mystagogue is in charge of the Epistemics department and oversees the duties of [[Research and Development]]. While they will ideally have <s>cultists</s> Scientists under them to aid in research, they are expected to have at least a fundamental understanding of how to operate their department in the event of having a lack of staff.

=== Directing Research ===

As the Mystagogue the bread and butter of your work aboard the station is ensuring research is done. It is your job to lead the broadening of our understanding of the universe around us, discovering new technologies that allow everyone on board to do their jobs better and more efficiently. This may sound like a complicated and scary endeavour but thankfully due to the miracles of modern science, research is now completed through spending "Research Points" on the technology of your choice at the Research Computer.

[[Scientist|Scientists]] will be your primary subordinates. They will be working with [[Xenoarcheology|analysing artefacts]], [[Anomalous Research|dealing with anomalies]] or [[The Oracle|requisitioning things for the oracle]]. You may want to ensure that all these jobs are manned by assigning your scientists roles at the start of the shift but usually they can be flexible if they know what they are doing.

Don't forget to check on the Scientists every now and then to ensure they are doing their jobs. If there's not much to do, direct them around the station in search of whatever object [[the Oracle]] demands of you.

Make sure that the [[Psionic Mantis]] is available and alive for emergencies. They will be invaluable for making a record of the station's [[psionics]] for when Code White may run around.

The [[Chaplain]] has the habit of trying to build a cult and decorporealize people they shouldn't. If they manage to bypass your supervision and start decorporealizing people without consent, notify security immediately and have them stripped of rank.

Research Points can be obtained from the following sources:
* Passive generation from Glimmer Probers
* Completing quests for the Oracle
* Destroying alien artifacts after researching their properties
* The discovery of new diseases by the Medical staff
* Analyzing Anomalies

=== Your Defence ===
At the start of each shift, the Mystagogue is one of the more vulnerable heads of staff on board. Unlike the other heads, you don't get fancy defence capabilities but you get a cool Hand Teleporter. Keep it safe and don't lose it.

As Mystagogue, you also have access to a Book of Mysteries. This mystical book contains many secrets, and can allow you to make a mystical wall only passable by you. so make sure to thoroughly investigate its wonders if you find it strapped to you! To deal with supernatural beings such as Wisps or [[Revenant|Revenants]] you get the Dispel [[Psionics|psionic ability]]. It can also be used against anomalies.

== Communication ==
Communicate and cooperate with other departments if Anomalies or Artefacts appear on the station that need investigation or dispelment. You, and your team, are not able to be everywhere all at once. Remember to, once in a while, advertise for the crew to call out locations of anomalies if they see one.

You will also be the person in charge of managing the [[glimmer]] and the [[Construction|constructions]] of probers and drainers. If glimmer gets too high you are allowed to call [[Alert_Procedure#White_Alert|White Alert]] to incite people to stop using their psionic powers and get mindbroken if needed

== Glimmer and You ==

Glimmer is a measurement of the average noöspheric pressure. The noösphere is a field linking the minds of all sentient beings. The study of Glimmer is what separates you from the puny minded ingrates known as scientists on other stations. Delving into the noösphere using your Glimmer Probers is a gateway to great knowledge and how you will gain perform much of your initial research.

You will be the person in charge of managing the [[glimmer]] and the [[Construction|constructions]] of probers and drainers. If glimmer gets too high (past 500Ψ or 400Ψ if things are getting out of control) you are allowed to call [[Alert_Procedure#White_Alert|White Alert]] to incite people to get mindbroken so they stop using their psionic powers.

As your probers do their work, the average glimmer level on the station will rise. If the level grows past 500Ψ the probers themselves will begin to spark with latent psionic energy and you may find yourself unable to turn them off as they become self sustaining.

In cases of emergencies like this, you are recommended to build Glimmer [[Glimmer#Drainers|Drainers]]. You need ectoplasm from this which is luckily can be found in higher amounts due to glimmer mites, revenants, and glimmer wisps spawning relatively

The Roboticist is the person on station with the duty to create Cyborgs that work as essentially extra crew members, or to repair IPC crew members who have taken damage. Just like a scientist you are under the full lead of the Mystagogue however you have to worry less about glimmer and research as opposed to normal scientists. With that being said if things are not going well for epistemics or an anomaly needs to be found you should still be helping when you don't have the ability to make Borg's.

So you're going to be the caretaker of a [[Psionic Mantis|bunch]] of [[Chaplain|fanatic]] [[Scientist|researchers]] with access to some of the most dangerous things on the station!

Alongside your department, you are dedicated to discovering the secrets of the Noösphere and furthering our knowledge of the universe. As such, you will generally find yourself with a great degree of freedom on how you want to accomplish that exploration. Just keep an eye on the glimmer levels.

__TOC__

== Organize Your Cultists ==
The Mystagogue is in charge of the Epistemics department and oversees the duties of [[Research and Development]]. While they will ideally have <s>cultists</s> Scientists under them to aid in research, they are expected to have at least a fundamental understanding of how to operate their department in the event of having a lack of staff.

=== Directing Research ===

As the Mystagogue the bread and butter of your work aboard the station is ensuring research is done. It is your job to lead the broadening of our understanding of the universe around us, discovering new technologies that allow everyone on board to do their jobs better and more efficiently. This may sound like a complicated and scary endeavour but thankfully due to the miracles of modern science, research is now completed through spending "Research Points" on the technology of your choice at the Research Computer.

[[Scientist|Scientists]] will be your primary subordinates. They will be working with [[Xenoarcheology|analysing artefacts]], [[Anomalous Research|dealing with anomalies]] or [[The Oracle|requisitioning things for the oracle]]. You may want to ensure that all these jobs are manned by assigning your scientists roles at the start of the shift but usually they can be flexible if they know what they are doing.

Don't forget to check on the Scientists every now and then to ensure they are doing their jobs. If there's not much to do, direct them around the station in search of whatever object [[the Oracle]] demands of you.

Make sure that the [[Psionic Mantis]] is available and alive for emergencies. They will be invaluable for making a record of the station's [[psionics]] for when Code White may run around.

The [[Chaplain]] has the habit of trying to build a cult and decorporealize people they shouldn't. If they manage to bypass your supervision and start decorporealizing people without consent, notify security immediately and have them stripped of rank.

Research Points can be obtained from the following sources:
* Passive generation from Glimmer Probers
* Completing quests for the Oracle
* Destroying alien artifacts after researching their properties
* The discovery of new diseases by the Medical staff
* Analyzing Anomalies

=== Your Defence ===
At the start of each shift, the Mystagogue is one of the more vulnerable heads of staff on board. Unlike the other heads, you don't get fancy defence capabilities but you get a cool Hand Teleporter. Keep it safe and don't lose it.

As Mystagogue, you also have access to a Book of Mysteries. This mystical book contains many secrets, and can allow you to make a mystical wall only passable by you. so make sure to thoroughly investigate its wonders if you find it strapped to you! To deal with supernatural beings such as Wisps or [[Revenant|Revenants]] you get the Dispel [[Psionics|psionic ability]]. It can also be used against anomalies.

== Communication ==
Communicate and cooperate with other departments if Anomalies or Artefacts appear on the station that need investigation or dispelment. You, and your team, are not able to be everywhere all at once. Remember to, once in a while, advertise for the crew to call out locations of anomalies if they see one.

You will also be the person in charge of managing the [[glimmer]] and the [[Construction|constructions]] of probers and drainers. If glimmer gets too high you are allowed to call [[Alert_Procedure#White_Alert|White Alert]] to incite people to stop using their psionic powers and get mindbroken if needed

== Glimmer and You ==

Glimmer is a measurement of the average noöspheric pressure. The noösphere is a field linking the minds of all sentient beings. The study of Glimmer is what separates you from the puny minded ingrates known as scientists on other stations. Delving into the noösphere using your Glimmer Probers is a gateway to great knowledge and how you will gain perform much of your initial research.

You will be the person in charge of managing the [[glimmer]] and the [[Construction|constructions]] of probers and drainers. If glimmer gets too high (past 500Ψ or 400Ψ if things are getting out of control) you are allowed to call [[Alert_Procedure#White_Alert|White Alert]] to incite people to get mindbroken so they stop using their psionic powers.

As your probers do their work, the average glimmer level on the station will rise. If the level grows past 500Ψ the probers themselves will begin to spark with latent psionic energy and you may find yourself unable to turn them off as they become self sustaining.

In cases of emergencies like this, you are recommended to build Glimmer [[Glimmer|Drainers]]. You need ectoplasm from this which is luckily can be found in higher amounts due to glimmer mites, revenants, and glimmer wisps spawning relatively

Applefish33: Cyborgs can choose what form they want so this line is irrelevant

{{Needs revision
|reason=Largely the robotics system of SS14 has not been extensively developed upon as of writing this page. Furthermore, this page derives quite a bit of its content from the upstream wiki's page on the same subject matter.
|image=RebaseWork.png
}}
Are you a Roboticist? This guide will explain the creation and maintenance of Cyborgs, bots, MODsuits, and stocky Exosuits.

[[File:EdgeRoboticsLab.png|thumb|Robotics lab on Edge Station]]

== Exosuit Fabricator ==
[[File:ExosuitFabricator.png|64px]]

These are the main machines used in Robotics, with them you can create various cyborg parts and their upgrade modules. Remember to sync these with the R&D servers frequently for new equipment designs and increased production speeds.

=== Cyborgs ===
[[File:Cyborg.png|64px]]

The Cyborg is the Roboticist's primary creation. They are tasked with helping the station's inhabitants in their daily life. Each cyborg is required to follow their AI's laws.

To be able to create a cyborg from scratch you'll need 45 x [[File:SteelStack.png]] steel and 9 x [[File:GlassStack.png]] glass to create the cyborg parts. 
Then you will need the following items in this order:

1 x [[File:CyborgEndoskeleton.png]] cyborg endoskeleton 
1 x of each Cyborg part 
1 x [[File:MediumPowerCell.png]] power cell (preferably High-Capacity) 
1 x [[File:LVCables.png]] LV Cable 
2 x [[File:Flash.png]] flashes 
1 x [[File:OrganHumanBrain.png]] → [[File:MMI.png]] MMI OR [[File:PositronicBrain.png]] positronic brain

== Cyborg Maintenance ==
In it's current form maintenance is relatively easy.

=== Cyborg Repairs ===
If the cyborg is damaged, all you have to do is use a welder to fix the damage.

A cyborg that has failed but not been turned into scrap can be repaired back to working order. All you need to do is repair it and use a defibrillator to reset its circuits

=== Cyborg Batteries ===
You will often see a Cyborg come to your assembly line to ask for an upgrade. To change the battery: 
# Open the maintenance panel using a screwdriver.
# Remove the old battery by pressing the REMOVE button next to the battery charge.
# Insert a new power cell.
# Close the maintenance panel using a screwdriver.

=== Cyborg Modules ===
Roboticists can create a bunch of modules that allows for a cyborg to do various work. The ability to insert a module depends on the model of cyborg, however generic modules are available for all models. Cyborgs are limited to a total of 3 modules, except the Generic module which gets 5 modules, so make sure you give them what you want or what they need.

== Mechs ==
[[ Mechs ]] are powerful devices that, unlike other robots, require a pilot to function. They generally have increased carrying capacity and strength. This also lets them pack a punch in combat. However, mechs require a massive quantity of resources and time to build, making them a long-term goal rather than a quick solution to a threat.

Mechs are available to build after the associated technology has been researched. To build them, first use the Exosuit Fabricator to build all parts associated with the desired mech. Attach the arms and legs to the chassis, then examine the mech to determine the next steps. Mechs will require some combination of steel, LV wire, and control modules, as well as the use of multiple different tools. A mechanic's toolbox will have just about every tool you'll need.

|aliases="Mysta"}}
So you're going to be the caretaker of a [[Psionic Mantis|bunch]] of [[Chaplain|fanatic]] [[Scientist|researchers]] with access to some of the most dangerous things on the station!

Alongside your department, you are dedicated to discovering the secrets of the Noösphere and furthering our knowledge of the universe. As such, you will generally find yourself with a great degree of freedom on how you want to accomplish that exploration. Just keep an eye on the glimmer levels.

__TOC__

== Organize Your Cultists ==
The Mystagogue is in charge of the Epistemics department and oversees the duties of [[Research and Development]]. While they will ideally have <s>cultists</s> Scientists under them to aid in research, they are expected to have at least a fundamental understanding of how to operate their department in the event of having a lack of staff.

=== Directing Research ===

As the Mystagogue the bread and butter of your work aboard the station is ensuring research is done. It is your job to lead the broadening of our understanding of the universe around us, discovering new technologies that allow everyone on board to do their jobs better and more efficiently. This may sound like a complicated and scary endeavour but thankfully due to the miracles of modern science, research is now completed through spending "Research Points" on the technology of your choice at the Research Computer.

[[Scientist|Scientists]] will be your primary subordinates. They will be working with [[Xenoarcheology|analysing artefacts]], [[Anomalous Research|dealing with anomalies]] or [[The Oracle|requisitioning things for the oracle]]. You may want to ensure that all these jobs are manned by assigning your scientists roles at the start of the shift but usually they can be flexible if they know what they are doing.

Don't forget to check on the Scientists every now and then to ensure they are doing their jobs. If there's not much to do, direct them around the station in search of whatever object [[the Oracle]] demands of you.

Make sure that the [[Psionic Mantis]] is available and alive for emergencies. They will be invaluable for making a record of the station's [[psionics]] for when Code White may run around.

The [[Chaplain]] has the habit of trying to build a cult and decorporealize people they shouldn't. If they manage to bypass your supervision and start decorporealizing people without consent, notify security immediately and have them stripped of rank.

Research Points can be obtained from the following sources:
* Passive generation from Glimmer Probers
* Completing quests for the Oracle
* Destroying alien artifacts after researching their properties
* The discovery of new diseases by the Medical staff
* Analyzing Anomalies

=== Your Defence ===
At the start of each shift, the Mystagogue is one of the more vulnerable heads of staff on board. Unlike the other heads, you don't get fancy defence capabilities but you get a cool Hand Teleporter. Keep it safe and don't lose it.

As Mystagogue, you also have access to a Book of Mysteries. This mystical book contains many secrets, and can allow you to make a mystical wall only passable by you. so make sure to thoroughly investigate its wonders if you find it strapped to you! To deal with supernatural beings such as Wisps or [[Revenant|Revenants]] you get the Dispel [[Psionics|psionic ability]]. It can also be used against anomalies.

== Communication ==
Communicate and cooperate with other departments if Anomalies or Artefacts appear on the station that need investigation or dispelment. You, and your team, are not able to be everywhere all at once. Remember to, once in a while, advertise for the crew to call out locations of anomalies if they see one.

You will also be the person in charge of managing the [[glimmer]] and the [[Construction|constructions]] of probers and drainers. If glimmer gets too high you are allowed to call [[Alert_Procedure#White_Alert|White Alert]] to incite people to stop using their psionic powers and get mindbroken if needed

== Glimmer and You ==

Glimmer is a measurement of the average noöspheric pressure. The noösphere is a field linking the minds of all sentient beings. The study of Glimmer is what separates you from the puny minded ingrates known as scientists on other stations. Delving into the noösphere using your Glimmer Probers is a gateway to great knowledge and how you will gain perform much of your initial research.

You will be the person in charge of managing the [[glimmer]] and the [[Construction|constructions]] of probers and drainers. If glimmer gets too high you are allowed to call [[Alert_Procedure#White_Alert|White Alert]] to incite people to get golemnized and stop using their psionic powers.

As your probers do their work, the average glimmer level on the station will rise. If the levels grow too high the probers themselves will begin to spark with latent psionic energy and you may find yourself unable to turn them off as they become self sustaining.

In cases of emergencies like this, you are recommended to build Glimmer Drainers. If you are unable to create Drainers due to having researched Advanced Musicology at request of the [[Musician]] or [[Clown]], your [[Chaplain]] may also be able to assist. Their help will not come without [[Golemancy|sacrifice]] however.

Glimmer

2025-03-07T19:19:03Z

Applefish33: /* Normality Crystals */

{{Stub}}

== Glimmer ==
Glimmer is a measurement of the average noöspheric pressure, measured in Psi Ψ. The noösphere can be considered analogous to an atmosphere. In a localized area, everything will equalize towards a certain pressure that's based off of the total energy in the system. Unlike atmospheres, area of noöspheric pressure do not operate by physical contiguousness, but mental. This means that areas with intertwined destinies will experience the same latent glimmer regardless of physical separation.

Glimmer is increased by psychic activity. The biggest sources are glimmer probers, followed by use of psychic powers. There are many other smaller sources of glimmer.

== Tracking Levels ==
[[File:SophicGrammateus.png]] 
The sophic scribe, also known as Sophia, tracks glimmer for the crew. All that is required by the crew wishing to know the current level of glimmer, is to interact with it. The current glimmer levels also gets displayed periodically on the radio.

This allow anyone to keep track on the current status of the glimmer levels and to avoid being blind to the potential risks.

=== Discharges ===
Glimmer will occasionally discharge if it's above '''100Ψ''', causing a wide range of effects based on how high it is. The most common is giving all entities with [[Psionics|psionic]] potential have a small seizure, which is something most people working on stations with an Epistemics department have grown used to.

At above 500Ψ, the base energy is so high that probers no longer need to draw electrical power and cannot be shut off.

== Managing Glimmer ==
Exploring the noösphere is not without risks however. As probers do their mysterious work, the average glimmer level on the station will rise. Crewmembers will develop new and potentially dangerous [[Psionics|psionic powers]] which will only fuel this growth as they are used. If the levels grow too high the probers themselves will begin to spark with latent psionic energy and you may find yourself unable to turn them off as they become self sustaining.

=== Drainers ===
[[File:Glimmer_drainer.png|64px]] 
The best friend of Epistemics. They are costly to make and have a noticeable impact on power but they are the go to for reducing glimmer effectively or to counteract the glimmer generation of a Prober.

'''To create, you will need:'''
* [[File:PlasteelStack.png]] 5 plasteel
* [[File:LVCables.png]] 5 lv cable
* [[File:NormalityCrystalStack.png]] 5 normality crystals 

==== Normality Crystals ====
Normality Crystals are quite complicated to create as they require [[File:Ash.png]]'''Ash''', [[File:Bloodpack.png]]'''Blood''', [[File:Plasma single.png]]'''Plasma''', [[File:WaterBottle.png]]'''Water''' and [[File:Ectoplasm.png]]'''Ectoplasm'''

The latter only available from grinding [[Golemancy#Soul Crystals|soul crystals]] or from killing glimmer creatures such as [[Fauna#Wisp|Wisps]] and [[Revenant|Revenants]].

If you manage to regroup all those material just mix an equal amount of a multiple of 10 of each. So at minimum you will need the following in a beaker:
* 5 units of Ash
* 5 units of Blood
* 5 units of Plasma
* 5 units of Water
* 5 units of Ectoplasm

Then you put in a [[Chef#The Microwave|Microwave]] or on a Hotplate until it reaches 400 degrees. When it finally reacts, it will create 1 Normality Crystal and reduce the glimmer by a small amount. A good thing to note is that a beaker stays hot for a long time so putting it in a [[Chemist#ChemMaster4000|ChemMaster]] and putting 10 of each item (Plasma counts as a catalyst so you don't have to refill it each time) makes you able to efficiently make 6 in under a few minutes

=== Probers ===
[[File:Glimmer Prober Minimal.png|64px]] 
Probers are useful to generate points passively.

Below '''500Ψ''', probers can simply be turned off. Glimmer will naturally decay from there. With late game technology, Drainers can be built that reduce glimmer at the same rate that probes add it.

When glimmer reaches above '''500Ψ''', the base energy is so high that probers no longer need to draw electrical power and cannot be shut off. Physically destroying the probers is the best option to avoid a snowball effect.

The crystal, and tube, of the prober can be used to roughly gauge the level of glimmer. The prettier it gets, the higher the glimmer is:
* [[File:Glimmer Prober Minimal.png]]When the prober is disabled or when glimmer is below '''50Ψ''', the crystal remains darkened at all times.
* [[File:Glimmer Prober Low.gif]] Between '''50Ψ''' and '''99Ψ''', the tube will light up slightly every 2.5 seconds.
* [[File:Glimmer Prober Moderate.gif]] Between '''100Ψ''' and '''299Ψ''', the crystal will light up slightly every 1.5 seconds.
* [[File:Glimmer Prober High.gif]] Between '''300Ψ''' and '''499Ψ''', the crystal will clearly light up every second.
* [[File:Glimmer Prober Dangerous.gif]] Between '''500Ψ''' and '''899Ψ''', the crystal will be constantly lit up with lightning bolts dancing across it.
* [[File:Glimmer Prober Critical.gif]] Above '''900Ψ''', the crystal gets even brighter while blinking rapidly with stronger lightning bolts.

'''To create, you will need:'''
* [[File:PlasteelStack.png]] 5 plasteel
* [[File:LVCables.png]] 5 lv cable
* [[File:BluespaceCrystalStack.png]] 5 bluespace crystals

== Handling Glimmer Emergencies ==
Probers should always be turned off before glimmer exceeds 500Ψ. Maybe even before to avoid a cheeky [[Psionics|psionic]] from using their power just at the right time and locking the probers.

Depending on how many [[Psionics|psychics]] there are, use of [[Chemistry#chem_MindbreakerToxin|mindbreaker]] (which, under [[Alert Procedure#Code White|code white]], is unrestricted) will reduce the amount of glimmer produced by people using their [[Psionics#List_of_Psionic_Powers|psychic abilities]].

When glimmer reaches above '''500Ψ''', the base energy is so high that probers no longer need to draw electrical power and cannot be shut off. Physically destroying the probers is the best option to avoid a snowball effect.

The crystal, and tube, of the prober can be used to roughly gauge the level of glimmer. The prettier it gets, the higher the glimmer is:
* [[File:Glimmer Prober Minimal.png]]When the prober is disabled or when glimmer is below '''50Ψ''', the crystal remains darkened at all times.
* [[File:Glimmer Prober Low.gif]] Between '''50Ψ''' and '''99Ψ''', the tube will light up slightly every 2.5 seconds.
* [[File:Glimmer Prober Moderate.gif]] Between '''100Ψ''' and '''299Ψ''', the crystal will light up slightly every 1.5 seconds.
* [[File:Glimmer Prober High.gif]] Between '''300Ψ''' and '''499Ψ''', the crystal will clearly light up every second.
* [[File:Glimmer Prober Dangerous.gif]] Between '''500Ψ''' and '''899Ψ''', the crystal will be constantly lit up with lightning bolts dancing across it.
* [[File:Glimmer Prober Critical.gif]] Above '''900Ψ''', the crystal gets even brighter while blinking rapidly with stronger lightning bolts.

== Handling Glimmer Emergencies ==
Probers should always be turned off before glimmer exceeds 500Ψ. Maybe even before to avoid a cheeky [[Psionics|psionic]] from using their power just at the right time and locking the probers.

Depending on how many [[Psionics|psychics]] there are, use of [[Chemistry#chem_MindbreakerToxin|mindbreaker]] (which, under [[Alert Procedure#Code White|code white]], is unrestricted) will reduce the amount of glimmer produced by people using their [[Psionics#List_of_Psionic_Powers|psychic abilities]].
