Plasma Research
Plasma Research (generally known as Toxins) is where scientists intricately study the properties and capabilities of plasma. They do this by building bombs capable of ripping giant hull breaches into the station and killing everyone. Or, they might just cause an uncontrollable plasma fire in the escape arm, or release super-heated carbon dioxide in the hallways, frying people from within. Generally only bad things happen in toxins, which is what makes it such a beloved part of the station.

Areas
The main lab contains several valves and connector ports where canisters can be connected and their contents moved through pipes. The system on the right is meant for combining the contents of multiple canisters into one homogeneous mix. The systems to the top and left are for putting gas either into space or into the mixing room. There is a tank dispenser which can vend O2 tanks and plasma tanks. The lab contains a special mainframe that will accept gas tanks, and you can wear the VR Goggles to see the simulation of the destruction they would cause if their contents combined. Don't test your bombs on the station itself unless you are the traitor holy christ
The mixing room is a vacuum sealed room where gas can be piped in, then ignited with a spark by pressing the igniter switch. If the gas is a dud or the experimenting is finished, it can also be vented into space.
The storage room contains air scrubbers and canisters of various types of gasses: Oxygen, Air, CO2, and Plasma.
Gasworks
To connect a canister to a connector, simply drag it on top of the connector, then wrench it to connect. The gas will automatically start to flow through the pipes. The gas will proceed unless the valve is turned closed (red). The pipes into the mixing rooms are special-- the top connector is strictly outtake (gas will only flow towards the mixing room) and the bottom connector is strictly intake (air will only flow out of the mixing room).
To check out the contents of your canisters, use your scientist PDA's built in scanner on it. It will give you a summary of its total pressure, its contents by percentage, and its temperature.
How not to die horribly
- Always wear internals.
- Don't open any of the canisters, unless there is a tank attached.
- Do not leave any lit welders around.
- If it looks like gas is leaking, use the air scrubber immediately.
- Never open the valve.
Legitimate uses of Toxins
- Destroying a Singularity.
- Destroying a rogue AI.
- Breaking into derelict space stations.
- Celebrating the Chinese New Year
