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

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.
