I also just realized this is kinda mess up lorewise. Invading Elyra? Good news, just wear standard ablative and you can't die unless you get hit by artillery. (Exageration) I'm now imagining a firing line of Elyrans in Kevlar wrapped Ceramic plates standing in the open shooting ballistic armed Dominians in ablative doing the same and everyone's just fine.

Well, the antags are still playing the game with weapon choice (somewhat.) but "The Horizon can always win" isn't really true unless the HoS is willing to burn 10-20 minutes swapping armor regardless of the fact that a transfer vote is about to happen and that the Antags didn't split their TC on energy and ballistic. They probably should split their buys too from a mechanical point of view, but then that screws with their Gimmick potentially (Sol Marines rocking even a few laser rifles would raise eyebrows. Merging armors could let the Antags choose weapons based on window penetration/injury/capability/lore or at least not worry about whether they're gonna get hard countered. And if we do really want this for, "the Horizon will always win" we should have 4 of each armor + something for the HoS preferably (even if it's just a plate for the chest carrier and a good helmet and standard limb guards? The HoS shouldn't have to worry too much about limb shots if they have 4 officers.) I caught some stray 7.62 once from across the dining room out of sight wearing standard HoS plate because i had a full team and died almost immediately. If we're going to make armor that important, I should at least have my vital organs protected.

I also think Riot/Standard/Military distinctions make more sense for escalation. We could also lock our military armor and weapons behind Red Alert or Captain access and lock out high caliber dangerous antag weapons if no command. Standard armor can be balanced to do decent (but not impervious) versus mid range pistol and 5.56 and normal antag energy rifles, you'll go down fairly easy if 5.56 hits you, but as long as your buddies pull you back you'll live. This means military level escalation requires a Captain or Command that can take the spare or order the AI with a Command Level Vote or two Command initiating Red Alert. For Odyssey, the ST can unlock the military armory without Command or to make it so the Command team doesn't have to steal the spare or have an AI (ICly it's a remote unlock from the SCC.) I also just realized, military weapons shouldn't be locked behind the access, just the ammo (so officers can train with the weapon without a Captain.)

My main gripe here is going to be Ablative vs Ballistic armor and what that does to the round. I think it's a rock paper scissors mechanic that's too powerful. (all other things being equal, armor choice hard decides the outcome.) and should really just be removed (I have some other options too.) First, armor is bulky and hard to transport, meaning changing armor takes time, and usually happens after the standoff phase (since that's when you know what the Antags are packing.) There have been times I've ordered an assault when I know I should change armors, and we're all going to die unless the antag really really sucks, but my Command WL tells me now is the time to go, and it feels horrible. Second, since, imo, armor choice is so impactful, both sides commanders really should avoid engagement unless they have the correct armor, this is difficult for antags (they might have spent their TC already) and it's time consuming for Security (especially without a Warden) Armor choice just eats time, and adds annoying complexity. Third, out of all the things I have to deal with as a HoS, scouting the Antag's weapons is the least enjoyable for me, but also the most important thing (outside of commanding the actual assault) I could be coordinating officer deployment, or RP Negotiating with the Antag, instead of I'm asking officers to report their weapons and using binochs to try to scout theres. The only justification I can think of for this is to have the commander scout weapons and order the correct armor in first. Then use the wrong armor to follow up to add their guns while minimizing their exposure. I feel like, while that's kind of cool, why not just let everyone participate in the assault instead of just the officers that happen to have the right set (there's only two sets of each and four officers remember.) Also, I think it makes defense a bit too easy, mercs can just put their lasers up front, and if they see ablative enter, they can fall back and let their friends with 7.62 handle it, then by the time the Ballistic armor gets in behind, the lasers just step up and blat them. I must ask, why have a difference in armor at all? Especially when there's plenty of other (more fun, and meaningful) differences between Laser and Ballistic. My three suggestions: One: Remove the distinction between armors, just make them the same, the only distinctions being Riot (for protection against the kind of weapons crew reasonably might get,) Standard, good against concealable weapons, and anti-boarding (the best armor security can have against high caliber small arms without science/mining/whatever) Two: Close the gap a bit, I feel like winning against someone while in the wrong armor requires you to be much much better than your opponent, even to the point where the significantly less skilled player will likel8y win. I might be wrong about how significant the difference is. Three: Give Security Carriers, and the armory plates, plates are long and wide but don't take up much space. You need a bag to carry them, but they don't' take much space. This would make it easier to change armors in the field but see below why I think we should just get rid of the distinction completely I'm in favor one option one, since, imo, the other two don't really make sense, if we have to close the gap between the two armors, we should ask why the gap exists at all. There's already a huge difference in how ballistic vs energy works, I don't think enemy armor type needs to complicate the matter. And option three, would likely result in an officer at a barricade seeing the antag pull out a laser weapon, then swapping in ablative plate, then watching them pull out a 7.62, and switching back to ballistic, then they pull out the laser... you get the idea.

So I have a very old character (OOC age) that was a Sadar Atmos Tech. I had them join the Phalanx so they could augment and tolerate gravity. I'm now considering having them change their last name to represent their new family? Thoughts?

Tried to involve themselves in the peacetag, they didn't really have time, but the point is his CE didn't just hide in engineering and handled things before I had to worry about them. +1 from a Cappy point of view.

Quoting so Devsen notices me the reply to my WL app

I'm not worried about the time in VR, just that it's enough to explain why they can Physician, and some time for the "spend time as the species you'll be working on" VR. So 6 months VR, probably felt like 4 years. And to clarify he was chosen to be a physician, he just wishes he was a surgeon because he developed a liking to doing them during his training. I'd probably say Pilcg sees this entire thing as we saw our first day of school or our first real job. Excitement, wonder, then.. oh.. oh I want to go home and never do this again sets in very quickly. He'll accept that it's required and I may make something of an arc about it where he starts mad and depending on how it goes probably settle in for his 20 years and do his best to warrant an afterlife? 1: How does Pilcg plan to adapt to human space? Has its hive-cell done anything in preparation for this? Is Pilcg coming in blank? They'd have told him what definately don't do, what try not to do, and what to do. He'd probably just focus on looking for negative reactions and not doing that again, possibly with an apology if they convince him it was warranted. He'd have the regs memorized (at least the ones he figured were likely to pertain to him in medical.) His Alate played him some sim maybe Zeng Hu and a Dreamweaver or Ta made about workplace HR crap so he's got that. His Cell would maybe be a Cell that specializes in making (or retraining) Vaurca for SCC employment as part of some plan a higher ranking Ta has for the Brood, hence a better pre acclimation to the SCC environment? 2: While Pilcg is young, it might have formed an opinion about recent Vaurca events. How does Pilcg feel about the upcoming Biesel elections, or the current war between the K'lax? Violence bad, some violence is good, like dead Li'idra. Fight between kin though, wrong, can't understand why they fight over which Queen should rule, hard question, too hard, and questions for Queen to decide, I do what Alate say and Alate say I fix people. Maybe I learn why one queen should rule but not another one day, but now I fix people, and C'thur do not have this problem. 3: How does Pilcg relate to the other C'thur broods? What does it think about the other Hives? K'lax work too much, Leto is intriguing however, The Exhibition could have curious experiences and things impossible to experience elsewhere, but more likely I find all the things they got wrong, not like our Royal Chronical. I pity them for being stuck with the Hegemony instead of the Federation. Federation much better. Zo'ra are in charge, they win right by.. being better? Still, C'thur strong, maybe we lead one day? But for now. I fix people. C'thur, I don't talk about the High Queen's.. condition, she is the only reason we made it to the Spur. Mouv, scientists, and merchants?, the bazaar would be an experience but there are better things to focus on now. Vytel, wielder of violence, violence good when they do it. Still stay clear when it happens. May meet some on ship, may trust them more for unbiased views. There are many Queenless Vaurcae on board, including some Punished. How does Pilcg feel about them? Did the Alate warn Pilcg to steer away from those crowds? Is Pilcg naive or does it hold resentment towards them? Alate warn Pilcg, still what if they not so bad? I can form opinion later, avoid for now but be friendly. For Punished, hmm, definitely avoid. Why they hire Punished?

Having played a scientist that was asked to make an EMP. I did 20u each Uranium and Iron, considering a basic beaker is only 60u and you need two, this seemed reasonable to me. I then tested it and dumpsterred the entire ship, not just IPCs, engineering spent the rest of the round resetting APCs I'm pretty sure. I'd suggest instead of a cap, just reduce the overall impact, or require more reagent. You can go up to 120u beakers by simply visiting an Autolathe so if a 40u EMP is that destructive, I don't want to think about what a 240u grenade would do. I'd just scale back, it would also mean better beaker tech (and size) allows stronger EMPs, the way it's balanced now, noone would dare do a max grenade (600u? I think with two bluespace beakers) emp and that doesn't make much sense.

BYOND Ckey: kelnor Discord username: Kelnor9781 Character names: Nira Sawant, Dumitra Moore, Hailey Wise, Dimah Al-Bashar Species you are applying to play: Vaurca ------------------------------ General Whitelist Requirements What colour do you plan on making your first alien character?: Purple Have you read the lore pages for the species you wish to be whitelisted for?: Yes Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph format. One paragraph minimum per question. Why do you wish to play this species?: Part of this is to better RP one of my most played characters (Nira) by improving my understanding of the alien lore she's heavily involved with (via the Phalanx.) Beyond that, understanding the greater lore will help all my characters better integrate. Lore knowledge is something I only recently began focusing on. I will play the character listed here to get an idea of what being a vaurca is like and I have at least 3 throw away characters that became my mains at various points so who knows, but I'm mostly here to better RP Nira. What makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a human?: We're eusocial, I should think less selfishly and try to think about the group more, while putting more effort towards trying to understand where the group consensus lies in situations than I would as a human. Ambition is fine, but it's to be recognized for bettering your hive or brood not yourself alone. Most Vaurca likely have spent the majority of their life in VR and post birth, preparing for and improving in one and at most 2 specialized fields with that being their main purpose to benefit the hive/brood. This would focus their mentality, I imagine Vaurca approach learning more methodically and using repetition. Being Unbound, some flexibility is required or you would just be a bound but compared to humans Vaurca are more focused. ------------------------------ Character Application Character Name: Ka'Akiax'Plicg C'thur Born 4 months ago after 2 years VR learning to be a physician and spending time being wounded as a Skrell/Human/Za/Ka/Ra to better be able to treat them, understand what they're going through during their injury and for them to better be able to communicate symptoms. Being a Xetl it loves the sensation of a scapel on skin now after VR, having been on both ends, and wishes it were a surgeon instead. The sight of blood repulses it (any blood now that they spent time as a human and a skrell.) but it loves that and has come to enjoy the discomfort during work. It's on the Horizon because it's Brood needs money more than it need it's services directly right now. It does not care about the Horizon but is happy to work on strange species. It's also been promised an extended (by Xetl standards) stay in VR again upon return if they did well and earned enough money for it's Brood. How has the recent events of the Orion Spur impacted your character? Events such as the Phoron Scarcity, the Solarian Collapse or even the Invasions of Biesel for interstellar-wide affairs, while region-specific events such as the Peacekeeper Mandate, The Titan Rises or even Cold Dawn may impact your character. Very little directly, being so young, it doesn't care much about the Horizon or the SCC or it's crew (directly,) it's here because it's brood needs resources more than it needs a physician. The overall decline and poor state of the Vaurcan hives and the phoron crisis deprive it of being happy in VR. It will work to save crew because losing crew that should have been saved will get it fired and sent back to a VERY unhappy Ta and probably Queen. Like-wise it will want very much to save crew in difficult situations because this will give it's Brood the ability to negotiate better compensation and possibly a faster return or more voracious access to VR. How does your character view the megacorporation they work for? Zeng Hu is nice corporation, they give my brood something called money, this is good, it allows more time in VR. I work for them, I save their employee's lives, they see Xetl smart, Xetl capable, they happy, they give more money, then I return and I feast. Is good.

I apologize, this was compiled near shift end and the paperwork was lost by the next shift. It's possible Central has a copy of the faxes sent but on ship copies are missing.

Nature of Incident: [] - Workplace Hazard [] - Accident/Injury [] - Destruction of Property [x] - Neglect of Duty [] - Harassment [] - Assault [x] - Misconduct [] - Other: Overview of the Incident: Pharmacist Bird has neglected his duties aboard the Horizon in order to pursue a side job as a drug dealer. I am not sure about the strength of the evidence as I was not present on shift at the time. I am instructing Security to build a case. I have decided not to suspend Doctor Bird at this time as we have another Pharmacist that can watch them. Interim Nazeri has spoken with Bird and feels they may understand their new surroundings and may adapt. Addendum to 2465-12-16-0109/01 (index 2465-12-16-0109/01A0,) further investigation yielded that a bottle of salt actually contained Heroin. As confirmed by Interim CMO Yekta Nazeri. CMO Nazeri believes the employee now better understands the expectations placed on him but the severity of the matter requires escalation. As such I am submitting this and requesting SCCIA investigation into the matter. This form is to be completed and handed in to the Internal Affairs branch of SCC Central Command following shift the incident occured in. Attach submitted evidence to this form, including recorder logs, photographs, signed forms. This paper has been stamped with the executive officer's rubber stamp.

I've only really had one round with Fluffy's CMO (Several with his HoS, but I don't play sec so can't comment.) Not much happened that round, he did a good job of facilitating roleplay but didn't really get a chance to give any feedback beyond doing well with the conversation with my surgeon. I can't +1 or -1, but would support an extension. Will add a post if I get a good enough round to give + or - feedback. I will say, I don't think this is the place to complain about him giving you an order you don't agree with.

+1 for the trial. <Zeng Hu Stare>

+1 for the trial. Can't wait to bully his CMO as Georgia.

Foreword: This is an advanced guide, focusing mostly on tips and tricks. It assumes you know the basics of medical first and you're probably a medmain that's put way too much time into this system (like I have) already. Focus: Stabilize a patient first and foremost. To do this, make sure their heart, lungs and blood volume are good. This is always your first goal, liver, kidneys, fractures can wait. Get BO up and keep it up. Then deal with everything else when you have free bandwidth. On Scans: For the rest of this guide, I am going to assume body scanners don't exist, but first some words on when to scan if you do have them. You do not need to scan to stabilize a patient. You have all the tools needed with just a stethoscope and a hand scanner and not even that if you're god tier. Scanning a patient takes time, time they can't be hooked up to an IV or on an OR table. If you know what's killing them, there is no point in scanning. Stabilize them first FR's love to bring you flatlines right after you shove someone in a scanner. You will panic and forget to eject the patient before running over. It will happen eventually. Scanners do not have any warning systems and other doctors will likely not check the scanner. Non stable patients are better left on a bed with a vitals monitor or on a stasis bed in the ICU. Other doctors will check on them, and vitals monitors will warn you if they're BA/BO crashes. The Zeng Hu is great, but it forces you to stand there and do nothing for a long time for the scan. It's best used if you have extra hands, that said, there is no reason not to run around and scan everyone with it if you have nothing better to do. This is also a great way to bully interns by SCREAMING AT THEM TO SCAN. You can also stand in the center of the GTR and scan all four GTR beds simultaneously. Just queue up the scans and don't move or switch hands. The one downside to delaying scans is it can leave someone sitting on a GTR bed getting an IV or waiting for an organ regenerative to do it's job; when they could be getting bone repaired during this time. If they're stabileish and you're not overwhelmed get a scan and get them into an OR. But if you're swamped or the ORs are busy anyway, you probably have bigger patients to worry about. Finally, if you're stumped, SCAN. Scans are the only way to spot appendicitis for example. Bleeds: External: Blood Volume is the biggest killer stop bleeds first, If someone has an external bleed and you don't have a hand scanner you can shift click examine them. If they have clothing over the affected limb you'll get this message in red. "Blood running down their neck": Head "Blood running down their sleeves": One of the Arms or Hands "Blood running down their thighs": Chest or Groin "Blood pooling at their feet": One of the legs or feet. If they don't have clothing covering it, I'm pretty sure it just tells you, but I've not seen it personally. If you don't have bandages, you can apply pressure by establishing a passive grab, then help intent clicking on them with the location targeted. This can also tell you if they have a bleed there since you will not apply pressure if they do not. They can also do this to themselves by simply help intent clicking themselves while targeting the correct limb (no grab needed.) Arterials: The only ABs that really matter are Head, Chest and groin. Arm, leg and feet ABs are really only a problem if they're BV is already low (since it slows how fast you can restore their blood.) or if they have alot of limb bleeds. Scans are the only way to know where an AB is but; You can guess where an AB is by looking at how fast their BO or BV drops. If it's not dropping at all, it's probably an extremity AB. ABs generally only form on limbs that have taken damage, if you've bandaged their wounds, try to remember what limbs were damaged, this is where the AB could be. If you didn't bandage their wounds or forgot where they were, you can strip them and inspect, you'll see "Bandaged tiny/large bruise" notifications. You can also just ask the patient. See the scanless surgery section for dealing with ABs without scans. Applying a splint to a limb with an AB will reduce the AB's severity. Obviously, give Coaguzol. Inspecting: You can inspect injured patients by establishing a passive grab, then help intent clicking limbs. You can spam this if you're in a hurry, but it might make reading the results difficult. It will tell you if the limb has open wounds, broken bones or an infection. It might tell you if they have bandaged wounds without needing to strip them, but I'm honestly not sure. Scanless Surgery: You do not need scans to do surgery. Step one is to fully strip the patient, you will get no info from examining a clothed patient. Once a patient is opened up, you can examine them and see organ damage and necrosis. Minor organ damage usually does not show up when examining, but it also rarely causes a serious issue. You can always just use the ATK but be careful about scarring. For broken bones, use the Inspection method above. For ABs, open the patient's limb (You do not need to saw bone,) and attempt to apply the fix-o-vein, if there is a bleed, you will start to close it if not you'll get a message about having nothing to do. Prioritize Head->Chest->Groin unless you otherwise know where the bleed may be. You also might get a blood spurt if you make an incision on a limb with an AB. Just something to keep that in mind. BO, BV Organ Damage and You: Kelnor, I hear you say. How do you know what's wrong with someone without scanning. Well, it's simple, git gud. First, the stethoscope. It will tell you if they have a damaged heart or lung, but it has some caveats. Plate Carriers and Void/Hardsuits reduce it's usefulness. Strip those. If the patient is not breathing, you cannot tell if their lungs are damaged (this affects breath analyzers too by the way) If you get no breathing, get them on EPP then try again. Lungs: If they're mechanical; you'll get "damaged fans" if it's damaged. You will "air flowing" if it's not. If they're organic, you'll get wheezing or gurgling if damaged. Strained or labored means they're having trouble breathing, probably were recently choking or suffocating. shallow and rapid means they're in pain. Whistling means someone poked them with a syringe. Heart: If mechanical, you'll get info about a pump. If damaged, it'll be sputtering, otherwise a steady whirl. If organic, you'll get irregular pulse for damaged. You'll get normal/fast/slow etc pulse if undamaged. Also worth noting if you hear extremally fast and faint, it means they're about to cardiac arrest. Your medhud shows this normally so it's less useful. It is worth noting that minor damage is not detectable by the stethoscope. How BO works: BO is the result of three main factors. How well the heart and lungs are working, pulse and how much blood the patient has. If the heart or lungs are healthy, and pulse is normal, BO will exactly match Blood Volume. If the heart or lungs are damaged or the lungs are not breathing, BO will drop down below BV. EPP can compensate for non breathing lungs and to a lesser extent lung damage. If pulse drops below normal, BO will drop below BV, if pulse raises above normal, BO will increase above BV. All of these affects stack, so high pulse with heart damage might cancel out and BO will be around BV for example. Giving Adrenaline and/or slapping them using pulled punches, will raise pulse and thus BO. This really is only useful in cases of blood loss, and generally has no real purpose and can cause cardiac arrest. It also has no additional affect if their pulse is already high. Since <30 BO is the real danger zone and you don't get that low in a situation where raising pulse will help. The main use is you might be able to avoid needing brain surgery/alkysine/cryo tube if you can prevent BA from dropping below 69(nice) percent, which this can do but it's extremely niche. BP: Blood pressure follows heart health, BV and pulse. So a high BP and low BO almost certainly means lung issues, and a low BP means low BV, heart health or pulse. You can use this to diagnose between organ damage or low BV based on BP and BO and pulse. You can even sometimes tell if it's heart or lungs using BP (I'm not good enough to do that quickly yet though.) It's also worth noting that full Blood Volume with EPP on a patient having a cardiac arrest, under CPR or harness should be 30% BO. And should stabilize around 30ish BA and never die. I believe CPR and harness stack, so can compensate for some blood loss... maybe. Heart damage might affect CPR/Harness BO? But I am not sure so don't quote me on that. Hand Analyzer: Tells you Pulse, BP, BO and will warn you if BV is under 70% (SEVERE BLOODLOSS DETECTED in big red letters) It gives you everything you need to know to diagnose heart/lung/blood loss issues. Vitals Monitors: The easiest way to confirm BV and thus rule out BV as the cause of the low BO. Also has a nifty warning scream for BA and BO if you forgot about a patient for too long, though don't rely on it since it's usually very late. HELP THEY'RE IN CARDIAC ARREST DUE TO BRAIN DAMAGE AND I CAN'T ATK A BRIAN: There is one hail mary available to you here. Get their BV to 100. Get a harness and EPP on them. Jam in dex (preferably plus,) every organ regen you got, and all the adrenaline you can (don't go over 10u unless you have adipemcina in.) Start an Alkysine drip. Stop pneumalin unless they're lungs are still damaged. CHEST COMPRESS AS HARD AS YOU CAN SCREAM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. Pray. Whenever their heart restarts, you get one tick where they'll have a normalish BO. If spikes over 85, that one tick will heal the brain slightly. Keep doing this until their brain recovers enough to restart autonomic functions. This rarely works, brain surgery is the better option, but this does avoid brain scarring. Conclusion: There ya go. Post questions or corrections please. And keep saving lives.. especially antags and don't forget to let them escape out through maintenance after the surgery while Sec watches helplessly outside the ORs!

Real Time: 1610CDT 3/25/18) Location of Incident: General Treatment Room Nature of Incident: [x ] - Workplace Hazard [ ] - Accident/Injury [ ] - Destruction of Property [ ] - Neglect of Duty [ ] - Harassment [ ] - Assault [ x] - Misconduct [ x] - Other - Trespass Overview of the Incident: Submitted Evidence: During a minor medical incident, Hangar Technician Nalika entered the GTR without permission. He waited at door and darted in when opening the door for patients. I ordered him to exit the GTR as he was clogging the entrance and making treatment of the incoming patients difficult. He refused and demanded to speak about a bounty. I told him to wait in the lobby and we would be with him soon. He refused again. I called for security to eject him. I then attempted to remove him myself, he resisted. Eventually I got him out of the GTR, and he rushed back in before the door closed. I was standing at the door and our pharmacist was available to speak with him in the lobby regarding his bounty. He refused to acknowledge this and continued to stand in the GTR entrance, making intake and treatment of patients difficult. Eventually CMO Harris and Investigator Matsushita convinced him to leave. This behavior is unacceptable. He could simply have spoken with our pharmacist in the lobby but he seemed strangely intent on being in the GTR for no perceivable reason. Would you like to be personally interviewed?: [ x] - Yes [ ] - No Did you report it to a Head of Staff or a superior? If so, who? If not, why?: CMO Ethan Harris. Actions taken: CMO stated the issue was resolved with speaking to him; I respectfully disagree and think additional action is required to correct Nalika's behavior as this isn't the first time. Additional Notes: Addendum: Additional witness: Melvin Chang (Pharmacist.) I don't believe he witnessed much, but can confirm that he could have spoken with Mister Nalika in the lobby, had he just listened.

I'm getting tired of telling N8 "You read my mind" as Captain. +1

Done a few Captain rounds with them as Bridgie Interimmed them when finding out about the WL app. Seems to have their head on straight +1.

+1 for trial. Just interimmed Malika and she was clearly paying attention to my Captain's next moves. Usually offering to handle access issues before I could type out a request on command comms. There's a lot more to XO than that, but I've also seen her interim when on CMO and haven't heard complaints from the Captains on those shifts. I'm a little concerned ICly that Malika is questioning her leaving Adhomai; going for Command is a commitment to the ship and the SCC. Keep that in mind ICly. That doesn't affect the whitelist at all since WL's are an OOC thing.

Yeah, didn't know about the ghost role limitation. Best way to implement would be an additional medical or investigator or chaplain kit and roll it into an existing job. Fair point's close it.

The idea here, is a CMO or Chaplain, maybe an investigator? Can use a computer terminal to open a ghost role for "Mortician." Basically, they'd have "makeup" tools that can hide physical and burn trauma, as well as a special device that can keep bones and tendons from recracking/snapping. Could make the bone/tendon tool cause extreme immobilizing pain when in place. Basically it'd be a tool that implants an augment when used, give it an infinite supply of augments. (if someone tried to use it on a living person it would have to be surgically removed.) Not sure how much work it would be. But could make it so we can have more open casket funerals for miners. The bone resnap thing is meh though, and there'd be a case of a reviving ling having it implanted by a well meaning crewmember. Not sure if it's worth it. But the makeup thing could be interesting. Could also just make the makeup thing available to surgeons.

I think there needs to be a clarification here about what "second in command" means. There's succession of command (if the Captain isn't on deck or is dead or incapacitated, XO has top authority.) And then there's Chain of Command (This means all concerns going to the Captain should go through the XO, and the XO's word carries the Captain's authority barring some kind of malice or lack of good faith on the XO's part, and barring some orders only a Captain is trusted with issuing.) You would have to have a good reason to bypass the XO and go straight to the Captain if the XO is in the Chain of Command as second. In the real world, the XO's job is to run the ship and handle crew to let the Captain focus on big decisions, they are not primarily a second in command or a right hand man, and they're definitely not a specialist, at least not anymore. They're a secretary with leadership requirements mostly. They're getting experience in ship operation and command leadership for when they become a Captain, and the Captain is expected to groom the XO for the big chair. In militaries, they want a clear succession of command and chain of command. So the XO holds the second position in both. They don't want to hold a command staff vote for the next Captain in the middle of a firefight or have multiple Department heads issuing conflicting orders and crew not knowing which to follow. The question is whether the Horizon wants the XO to be second in both, one or neither of those chains. Edit: I should also point out that militaries would have all command line officers in order of succession of command. If we make XO the second in succession of command, it doesn't really make sense not to go all the way and just list the succession of command all the way down the entire Command Staff. After all, the whole point of the XO being second in command is to never have any confusion of who has command now if the Captain goes down... so why wouldn't you want to do the same for if the XO goes down too... and then the next in succession of command... etc.
