[[File:Genetek2.png|frame|right|Here we go, time to make superheroes!]]
In addition to the basic work of cloning, a [[Geneticist]] has access to two "GeneTek" consoles and scanners. These devices can, with enough patience, reward you with superpowers, crippling disabilities, or just amusing mutations.
==The Building Blocks of Life==
When a [[Clown|person]] (or [[Monkey|monkey]]) is put into the scanner, the GeneTek console menu will show several options:
* '''Potential''' - This is where you go to mess with DNA and activate mutations.
* '''Mutations''' - Shows mutations which are active.
* '''Change Appearance'''
* '''Research Menu''' - Shows the research that is currently taking place, and shows possible research and finished research. It also contains the DNA Samples. DNA materials can also be bought by spending money from the station's research budget.
The printer icon at the bottom left is used to print out the current page onto a piece of paper.
===Icons===
The following icons and numbers will appear beside the '''Research Menu''' button as you perform research
[[File:Research Time.png]]
This is the number of seconds you must wait until a piece of tracked research is completed.
[[File:DNA Injector Icon.png]]
This is the number of seconds you must wait until the [[Guide to Genetics#DNA Injectors|DNA Injectors]] can be used.
[[File:Reclaimer Cooldown.png]]
This is the number of seconds you must wait until the [[Guide to Genetics#DNA Reclaimer|DNA Reclaimer]] can be used.
[[File:Emitter Cooldown.png]]
This is the number of seconds you must wait until the [[Guide to Genetics#Radiation Emitters|Radiation Emitters]] can be used.
[[File:Analyzer Cooldown.png]]
This is the number of seconds you must wait until the [[Guide to Genetics#Gene Sequence Checker|Gene Sequence Checker]] can be used.
==Cracking the Code==
Mutations are composed of a series of paired blocks. Each block contains the values G, A, C, T (Guanine, Adenine, Cytosine, and Thymine respectively) or is empty. The GeneTek console allows you to select blocks and modify them. What the geneticist is attempting to accomplish is figuring out what each empty block's value should be, and thus being able to pass that mutation to the occupant. In each pair of blocks, a G block always links to a C block, and a T block always links to an A block. Some values can be figured out immediately, while others need simple guesswork as you go through each possible combination.
Once the correct code is entered, the user can then activate the mutation. It will no longer appear in '''Potential''', and is now located in the '''Mutations''' section.
By clicking on the green vertical line connecting pairs of blocks, you can highlight that pair. Useful for marking parts of the mutation which haven't been figured out yet.
Note that within a round, all subjects with a specific mutation will have the exact same DNA code required to unlock it -- This means that if, for example, one human has half the code for Fire Resist and another has the other half, you can simply put the two together to figure out the full code.
=== Walkthrough ===
So, we're trying to make someone fat.
[[Image:Genetek3.png]]
To start, fill up any half-filled pairs, A goes with T, G goes with C.
[[Image:Genetek4.png]]
The unfilled pairs must be filled in with every combination of AT, TA, GC and CG possible until the words "Sequence Stable. Activate?" appear. This can be quite tough if there is more than one pair, however researching the Gene Sequence checker can make this much easier.
[[Image:Genetek6.png]]
Click "Activate" and you're done!
=== Locked pairs ===
You may notice some pairs have a little lock between them, click on them to begin a game:
  SCANNER ALERT: Encryption is a 2-character code.
  Possible characters in this code: G C
A specific chain of letters must be entered to unlock the pair of blocks. The only possible combinations here are GG, GC, CG and CC.
If your answer is wrong, the machine will show you how close you are to the correst answer. Let's assume we entered GG and this was the result:
  SCANNER ALERT: Decryption failed.
  0/2 correct characters in entered code.
  0/2 characters in correct position.
  Attempts remaining: 1.
This shows that there is no G in the code, and thus the code must be CC!
==Research==
Every mutation can be researched to find out what it does. If a mutation has not been researched, it is simply titled Unknown Mutation. Each mutation only needs to be researched once. Research is conducted by spending research materials, which are slowly gained over time. Additional research materials can be bought by spending money from the station's research budget.
Extra features and upgrades to the machine can be bought directly from the '''Research Menu''' section. Research starts at tier 1, and higher tiers are unlocked when lower tiers are completed.

==Testing==
The geneticist begins with several monkeys which have mutations just like people do, they are perfect for being tested on. Their mutations can also be researched and activated. When the sequence for a mutation has been discovered, it can be printed out with an appropriate label. This sequence can then be used to provide that mutation for a human who has it in their list of potential mutations.
A PDA with the Genetics Scan can be used on people to scan people and send a copy of their DNA to the genetics consoles. They can then be found by going to View DNA Samples in the View Research tab. From there, you can select the name of the person you want to work on, and their powers can be given to them when they return to genetics later.
==Mutations==
There are a wide variety of mutations, as such this is ''not'' a complete list of them. Some are beneficial, some are detrimental, some are situational and some are just wacky and fun. Your interface will get a Mutation TAB with power verbs if you manage to unlock an active skill.
