Rename Research Assistant->Research Trainee, except in the history section, a change introduced by PR #20588
This Staff Assistant comparison is probably unwarranted now, so cut that. Maybe mentioning they can't use Tech Storage is still okay? I don't think it's particularly useful, but I can't be arsed to remove it either.

'''Research Trainee''' is a low-ranking job tasked with helping the [[Scientist|Scientists]] and other Research personnel. In terms of access, they're essentially equivalent to [[Scientist]]. They can enter all the lab facilities in the [[Research Sector]], but unlike their [[Staff Assistant]] ilk, they can't go into [[Maintenance|maintenance tunnels]] or [[Tech Storage]]. If you don't mind the risk of dying a horrific death due to '''''SCIENCE!''''', this job is otherwise fairly laid-back, making it a decent role for newbies.

Research Trainee is a low-ranking job tasked with helping the Scientists and other Research personnel. In terms of access, they're essentially equivalent to Scientist. They can enter all the lab facilities in the Research Sector, but they can't go into maintenance tunnels or Tech Storage. If you don't mind the risk of dying a horrific death due to SCIENCE!, this job is otherwise fairly laid-back, making it a decent role for newbies.

A Brief History of Labradors

Research Assistants appeared very early in Space Station 13's history. They were one of the first jobs Exadv1, SS13's original creator, added to the game, making them older than Devstation. They never got to see Devstation though; Research Assistant and the other department-specific assistant jobs were merged into one single "Assistant" job on July 4th 2008,

Department-specific assistants were briefly revived in 2012, but only Technical Trainee and Medical Assistant came back. On September 24th, 2021, the job was re-added as a latejoin role, along with the Medical Assistant, Technical Trainee, and Head Surgeon.

Crew Objectives

Strangely enough, the Research Assistant is the only job to not get any crew objectives, unlike all other assistants.
