Cogmap1/Research Director
What have I gotten myself into?
Well, congratulations! You're a Head of the station, as well as being the boss of the rarely competent Research team. Your job is mainly just to prevent Research from blowing up, burning, and getting covered in radiation for as long as possible. Chances are, you won't be succesful at that. It's okay though, as an RD you have arguably the most relaxed and easy Head job on the station, yet you're also the most potentially dangerous. If you're interested in trying out a Head job but you're afraid of being awful, RD is the job for you. As long as you don't blow up the Research wing or send your unstoppable Guardbuddies on a rampage/let a traitor do these things, it's almost impossible to be a bad Research Director.
So what's my actual job?
Whatever you make of it! Explore space in the Teleporter lab, make explosives in Toxins, set Chemistry on fire, or accidentally kill everyone...
That being said, your basic job (and really only task) is to be the boss of the Research team. Typical RD activities include ordering chemists to create dozens of chicken soup pills, having Telescience steal all the monkeys on the station, and making sure Toxins and Artifact Research don't spiral out of control. However, you're also a Head, which means you also have some say in big decisions regarding the shuttle. You can call and recall the shuttle, and you have Bridge access for when you just feel like drinking wine with the HoP and ignoring your duties.
