Pathology
Location
Recreate the Black Plague in space.
Access	Medical staff

The Pathology Lab in the middle southern end of Medbay contains all of the equipment necessary to regret researching diseases. In addition to usual microscopes, autoclave, and other machines, there's also a operating table for roleplaying/pretending autopsies, a lab fridge with spaceacillin syringes and agar, and a chemical dispenser for making suppressants and nutrient mixes for the microscopic critters that'll become massive failures.

To learn how all machines go together in your wonderful failure, see Guide to Pathology.

For those unfortunate enough to become your test subjects (regardless of how that happened), there are quarantine cells in the south. There's also a small emergency shower, though it most likely won't wash away the germs and definitely won't wash away the stench of failure.

Maintenance Information

There is no vent. Vent your frustrations into the Gym instead.

The APC for this area is in the maintenance corridor below.

Access	Medical staff

The Pathology Lab is located south of medbay and contains all of the equipment necessary to research diseases, such as an quarantine airlock entrance that's semi-easy to stumble into. For more information on the machines in this room, see Guide to Pathology.

Maintenance Information

There is no vent. Not that it'd help or hinder anything; pathogens can't spread through vents.

The APC for this room is near the entrance into the quarantine cell on the right.

The Pathology Lab is located in the port side of Medbay and contains all of the equipment necessary to regret researching diseases while the nearby geneticists create horrific parodies of the X-Men. For those unfortunate enough to become your test subjects (regardless of how that happened), there is a quarantine cells in the south.

For more information on this topic, see Guide to Pathology.

Maintenance Information

There is no vent. Nanotrasen opted out of installing it as a part of a money saving operation.

The APC for this room is in the Maintenance tunnels surrounding it.

Access	Medical staff, Janitor

This loooong section of Clarion blocked off from the rest of Medbay by a maintenance tunnel is the Pathology Lab. There's so much space and redundancy and warning signs so that some random lost Janitor or Medical Doctor doesn't wander in and leave with more than they came with and thus accidentally give everyone plasma farts and involuntary Shakespeare recital syndrome. It contains all of the equipment necessary to regret researching diseases, including your own monkey pen, and become even more of a recluse than the Geneticist. For those unfortunate enough to become your test subjects (regardless of how that happened), there are quarantine cells in the south, alongside food and drink vendors so you can hole yourself in here forever and your patients don't go hungry.

This worryingly unquarantined section of Medbay is the station's Pathology lab. It contains all sorts of strange, arcane equipment evidently useful in the researching, curing, and manufacturing of pathogens. Try it sometime! Failing to splice a valid symptom for the 11th time in a row is a uniquely frustrating feeling. So is having your first beneficial/malevolent pathogen suddenly turn asymptomatic on its first victim.

You can read up Guide to Pathology for info on modern pathology, but since this map came before the major changes that created the current state of pathology, it's perhaps better to look at Pathology for Dummies or Pathology Research (old), which both refer to pathology before modern times.

Mushroom Station came at a time before modern pathology or its previous incarnation, so it has no pathology research lab on the station. It's...probably for the better. (The one hidden in the Debris Field is still there though).

Access	Research Director, Scientist

Today, on most stations, messing around with microscopic killers is Medical's job, but here, it's Research's, because nobody likes manhandling potential bioweapons on a donut. Not to mention that it's also safer, because when a pathogen outbreak occurs on Zeta, the scientists will be (hopefully) too stupid to fly back to the main station and seek medical attention in Medbay, and if it gets realllly drastic, the Research Director and two other heads can detonate Research's nuclear charge.

All in all, it's a pretty good pathology lab. The entrance is off the side of its own little hallway, in the general south of Zeta Research Station, isolated from all the popular and cool Telescience, Chemistry, and Plasma Research labs, so it's rare for someone to accidentally walk into this place and get infected. The pathology equipment is all nice and close together for convenience, and there's a tons of little amenities, like a fridge with some syringes of spaceacillin, a monkey pen with a MonkeyVend (always, ALWAYS great to have), and a surprisingly-comfortable quarantine cell.

You can read up Guide to Pathology for info on modern pathology, but since this map came before the major changes that created the current state of pathology, it's perhaps better to look at Pathology for Dummies or Pathology Research (old), which both refer to pathology before modern times.

Maintenance Information

There is no vent. Luckily, pathogen's can't spread through vents, but they can spread through air.

The APC for this whole area is near the entrance into the monkey pen, on the west wall.

Making chemical weapons and weapons of mass destruction is fun and all, but sometimes you need a little variety in life. Sometimes you need to look into something small, almost invisible to the naked eye, but nevertheless, deadly. Sometimes you need to exchange your beakers for petri dishes, put on your best biosuit and biohood, and do some Pathology. It has all the machines and equipment you need to create nature's smallest serial killer, and then immediately regret it when it goes asymptomatic.

Maintenance Information

There is no vent. Pathogens can't spread through vents, luckily.

The APC for this room is in the hallway outside of this room.

Pathology
Location
Turning microscopic specks into massive failures.
Access	Medical Director, Medical Doctor, Roboticist, Geneticist, Janitor

When treacherous crew members fancying themselves bioweaponeers seek superbugs to unleash upon the station, they turn to Pathology at the very north end of Medbay's western corridor. This vaguely sausage-shaped facility contains all the machines and tools they need to realize how difficult making a bioweapon actually is, like a Pathogen Manipulator to lose all their DNA splices in, microscopes to realize how truly screwed up their pathogens are, and an small isolation cell for storing failed test trials--forever.

To get a sense of their frustration, check out Guide to Pathology.

Maintenance Information

There is no vent. Pathogens can't spread through vents, luckily. Neither can regret.

The APC for this room is near the top right side of this room, near the isolation cell.

Pathology
Location
Getting down with the sickness.
Access	Janitor, Medical Director, Medical Doctor, Roboticist, Geneticist

If you weren't already sick of this prisoner-run ship, you'll definitely be sick, physically and mentally, after contracting whatever germ's been created in this Pathology Research lab on the right end of the Medical Research nacelle, itself accessible by a green-blue checker-tile hallway connected to Medbay's front entrance.

It contains several scientific-looking doohickeys equidistant from a chem dispenser, with a fridge full of syringes of spaceacillin off in the corner looking lonely. There's pen of monkeys for testing diseases on nearby and a quarantine cell in the top right corner for holding particularly dangerous results.

Check out Guide to Pathology to see what you can do with these machines.

Maintenance Information

The air in this area can be resupplied by a reserve tank and series of valves in the maintenance area above the main Medbay area.

The APC for this room is on the right wall of the quarantine cell.

Pathology
Location
Totally an adult formula factory.
Access	Medical Director, Medical Doctor, Roboticist, Geneticist, Janitor

Below the Medbay, hidden below a maintenance area, lies Medistan's most infamous laboratory, Pathology Research. Beyond the simple double airlock, you'll find an immense array of microbiology equipment and tools, from a microscope for studying samples to a centrifuge for isolating particular strains to a full-on pathogen manipulator for creating new pathogens by combining DNA blocks like they're LEGO bricks.

For more info about these machines and the science behind the creatures they handle, check out Guide to Pathology.

The Medistan government insists this is just a factory for creating nutrient formulas for adults (well, in as much as the citizens of Atlas can be called adults) and that the machines here are just for culturing microorganisms for fermentation, despite the fact that no formula has ever been seen exiting the facility. It's an open secret that this area is really for manufacturing bioweapons, but no one has been able to supply conclusive proof.

Maintenance Information

There is no vent. Medistani researchers have repeatedly emphasized their desire for an atmospherics system and have purportedly made contact with black market dealers offering advanced laboratory equipment and trained personnel who became jobless after their government collapsed. It's totally for testing new "air-dispersed" formulas, not for studying the behavior of space anthrax, space Q fever, or any other airborne diseases, no, certainly not.

The APC for this room is on the top wall, near the Path-o-Matic machine.

Pathology
Location
Recreating the black plague IN SPACE!, but also UNDERWATER! and ON A BOAT!
Access	Research Director, Scientist

In case the all the incendiary, explosive, and chemical weapons in the Torpedo Bays and Chemistry weren't enough, now there's biological weapons created via pathology research in the aptly named Pathology Research lab on the east end of Research.

It's a pretty garden-variety (as if microbiology labs really belonged in gardens) lab. All the standard pathology machines are here and bunched closely together, ensuring ease of access. No chem dispenser here, unfortunately, but there is a cabinet of pathogen sample vials, a ValuChimp full of monkey test subjects, and a lil quarantine cell with an IV stand and biohazard bags.

For more info about these machines and the science behind the creatures they handle, check out Guide to Pathology.

Maintenance Information

There is no vent. Pathogens don't need air, not underwater, not on a boat, and not on a boat underwater.

The APC for this room is on the right wall, behind the centrifuge.

Access	Medical staff

The Pathology Lab in the top-right of Medbay contains all of the equipment necessary to regret researching diseases, though it doesn't have any samples to actually do the research on unless an admin enables it. In addition to usual microscopes, autoclave, and other machines, there's also a chemical dispenser for making suppressants and nutrient mixes for the microscopic critters that'll become massive failures.

To learn how all machines go together in your wonderful failure, see Guide to Pathology.

For those unfortunate enough to become your test subjects (regardless of how that happened), there are quarantine cells in the north.

Maintenance Information

There is no vent. Maybe it got sealed after all the samples got knocked into it.

The APC for this area is on the west wall.
