nonno_anselmo Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) Since starting to teach interns i always had a problem: i needed a god damn monkey/protohuman to teach the intern how to handle real situations without doing a trial by fire immediatly by using your usual dying miner who forgot to scream over comms and thought GPSes were more of an option. As far as i know there have been plans to remove the (unused because it isn't yarr pee friendly and isn't particularly developed either) virology lab or move it to science in some nook beween a vending machine and the toilet. My proposal as to what this free (and huge) space can be used for is the following: to add a small holodeck which will use the space from the viro lab that will then hold a single scenario (that you can reload for new equipment) in which interns can safely train, be taught and practice by themselves in. -GTR: holodeck protohumans/monkeys (which despawn upon leaving the holodeck itself) that you can freely beat up withouth feeling unethical, ATKs and ABKs, body scanner and a sleeper. Aswell as IVs with maybe one or two bloodbags. -Surgery: complete with a surgical table and tray that will allow you perform surgery undiscrimnately on monkeys after properly kicking their teeth in -A small chemistry dispensenser with no chemmaster. In this small station complete with a large beaker and the machine itself filled with a phoron cartridge, you'll be able to endlessly try and try again the various recipes of your dreams without necessarily having to order new cartridges. Just reload the holodeck! And don't be a cunt by putting the chems into a syringe so it becomes immune to despawning, shit's whack and you know it, i will find you. -A small pen or a series of chairs holding the test subjects, obviously. -A plaque in honor of all the monkis and protohumans spent to train interns. I'm not giving up on this. This would greatly improve the time it takes for interns to be trained aswell as remove some of the nastier (rp wise) situations where the intern has to watch a doctor beat a monkey or a protohuman untill it goes unconscious. While it is very fun to throw monkeys into the virology express chute i'd say it is time to evolve and move on to (technically) more ethical ways of creating subjects on which the interns can train on without either looking like bloodthirsty validhunters or by throwing the intern a dying crewmember or monkey on systemic organ failure at 14% brain activity. Instead with the holodeck we can do all of these wonderful things BUT ethically and with much much much more ease of access and efficiency since a protohuman can take upwards of half an hour to arrive and having medbay littered with monkey corpses is not that ideal. I took the personal freedom to open the mapmaker and delete all items, furniture and floor inside of the virology laboratory and substituting them with holodeck floor to show you how much of a fuckoff space we'd have avaliable to do this. I then checkered the floor with linoleum to give YOU that's right, YOU the possibility to open paint and try and throw in an example of what your ideal training area in medbay would look like by just opening paint and going ham by writing what goes where and such. Feel free to cut areas off or add new ones too! Edited May 7, 2020 by nonno_anselmo Fixing syntax errors
Scheveningen Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 I agree with this post, I think it would be nice if we had virtual combatants to spar against too.

If this was to be built upon then it would be possible to create other small training holodecks or expand upon what it can do.
