User:Nullaurelian/Genetics ErisEN Draft

On the CEV 'Eris', Genetics is the science of identifying and activating latent powers in humans via mutations. Passengers of the ship may contact Moebius Laboratories about activating their true biological potential, or purchase sequences from other donors to protect themselves from the various dangers of the ship.

Genetic Machines

Chrysalis Pod

The Chrysalis Pod is a stationary DNA scanner.

Genetic Regurgitator

The Genetic Regurgitator produces items to apply or remove genetic mutations from nutriment, glucose or animal protein.

ML "Sensillum"

The ML "Sensillum" is a handheld DNA scanner. Unlike the Chrysalis Pod, the ML "Sensillum" cannot independently scan a person's DNA; in order for the handheld DNA scanner to collect data the DNA donor needs to be injected with Kognim as a catalyst for genetic analysis. Kognim can be synthesized from any Chemical dispenser, being a compound of one part radium, two parts ryetalyn and one part synaptizine.

Analyzing Genes

Every human being has at most 3 latent mutations that are dormant. These mutations can be scanned with the Chrysalis Pod or the ML "Sensillum" and saved to a storage device. The scanned data can then be analyzed by

Mutations

Mutations

Nero (Tier 0)	Mutation	Effect	Drawbacks
	Blindness	Mutant cannot see	Adds 0 NSA
	Deafness	Mutant cannot hear	Adds 0 NSA
	Myopia	Mutant needs glasses	Adds 0 NSA
	Stat Debuff	Mutant has -15 in the effected stat	Adds 0 NSA
Vespasian (Tier 1)	Mutation	Effect	Drawbacks
	Stat Buff	Mutant has +25 in the effected stat	Adds 10 NSA
	No Reject	Mutant does not reject incompatible blood types and can have any limb or organ attached to them	Adds 10 NSA
Tacticus (Tier 2)	Mutation	Effect	Drawbacks
	Lesser Healing	Mutant slowly heals as if they had Tricordizine in their bloodstream	Adds 15 NSA
	Mind Projection	Mutant may speak to a target telepathically	Adds 15 NSA
	Remote Observation	Mutant may see through another person's eyes 1 minute cooldown	Adds 15 NSA
	Force Speak	Mutant may speak through a target	Target has a 70% chance of identifying who is speaking through them Adds 15 NSA
	Numb Fingers	Mutant does not leave fingerprints	Adds 0 NSA
	Roach Pheromones	Mutant may release Roach Pheromones, making Roaches friendly for about a minute Ability has a 2 minute cooldown	Other humans in range without internals take sanity damage Adds 15 NSA
	Spider Pheromones	Mutant may release Spider Pheromones, making Spiders friendly for about a minute Ability has a 2 minute cooldown	Other humans in range without internals take sanity damage Adds 15 NSA

Mutants in Society

Most passengers on the CEV 'Eris' won't care that any particular person has mutation unless that mutation would cause them direct harm. Neotheology as a faction however does not look kindly on human Mutations, even if individuals may be more or less tolerant. Ship law outlines most mutants as legal per The Agreement, however overtly hazardous or destructive mutations may see the liberal application of Ironhammer Cease and Desist projectiles applied to the mutant's head in a repeated fashion.

Cruciforms

Cruciforms passively suppress mutations in Neotheology members, unless that person has an active "Godblood" mutation to negate the Cruciform implant. Cruciforms slowly remove mutations in their hosts over time.

Obelisks

Neotheology Obelisks passively apply BURN damage to mutants within their range. The amount of BURN damage scales off the number of mutations the human has and the tier of the mutations. Mutants with multiple high-power mutations may literally start melting in the presence of holy symbols.
