Around thirty to forty five minutes into the shift, Astra Zemin ran into medical, with no prior warning, running straight to to me and Neith Mekesatis whilst coughing before informing us she had contracted Mycosis. Following the general procedure for such I donned a full biosuit for protection with internals, and worked to remove the infection, luckily before it could spore. After incinerating contaminated items and the Kois, I returned upstairs to make a final scan of Astra before releasing her. At this point I learned, from Astra's own words, that the reason this outbreak had occurred was due to Astra creating a strain of Explosive K'ois and an 'experiment' that seemed to only entail her throwing said K'ois at a wall in her laboratory eleven times whilst wearing none of the appropriate safety gear. She wore only a gas mask and a dress, without informing anyone that such an experiment was going to happen so that we could be ready in the event of an outbreak. Once asking her why she did not use the biosuit given to her in a locker, she stated that the suit is faulty and does not work. Which, later on in the shift, Taika Thomson confirmed with a Reisha experiment. Though at this point, the question then veers away from why she was not wearing a suit, to why she was conducting an experiment with a highly dangerous Fungus whilst informing nobody, with one person on station qualified to treat mycosis, knowing there was no available PPE to protect from infection. Which is as dangerous to the rest of the station, including the one person qualified to handle it, as it is to her. This means she endangered the lives of everyone on the station for an experiment she knew was absurdly hazardous, running past multiple people in medbay with no internals, coughing. She had also claimed that she had done this "hundreds of times" and that this has never happened. Which I have been told by multiple people, was a flat lie. Meaning this is not even the first incident of her endangering lives.

After a discussion that lasted around twenty minutes revealing the above information for which Neith Mekesatis was present, Astra left the medbay and resumed her duties. At this point, I walked to security and had asked the Warden to watch what Astra was doing in Xenobotany in case something more had happened later in the shift. At this point, Astra left to the representative's office, of which was occupied by Bjorn Agni-son, a Zavodskoi representative to talk about the incident and the possibility of an IR. At this time Taika Thomson had woken up from cryostasis and I had informed him of the events. After confirming that Astra was still insisting on not attempting to use any form of protection to continue the same experiments that caused the incident, Taika performed a test with Reishi that confirmed the Biosuit and gasmask were indeed faulty. Afterward, Taika came to medbay so the resulting Reishi poisoning could be rectified, and another argument surfaced both over radio and in medbay as Astra tried, once again, to defend using no PPE to conduct experiments with K'ois, stating "My aim is faulty" for the reason as to why the previous mycosis case had occurred, and "I have done this hundred of times" as reasoning to keep going. The argument over general radio was between Bjorn Agni-son and Neha Koepple revolving the incident, but it was mostly just Bjorn trying to defend Astra from people questioning her methods while HAMMER-55 threatened to fine him for keeping it going. At this point the shuttle arrived and the shift ended.

[b]Did you report it to a Head of Staff or a superior? If so, who? If not, why?:[/b] HAMMER-55, Head of Security [b]Actions taken:[/b] Due to the nature of the incident and the fact that HAMMER woke up near the end of the shift, I was informed to make an IR.

[b]Additional Notes:[/b] I have been informed that this is both not the first time this has happened, but also that Mrs. Zemin is married to a Xiao Zemin, who is a Research Director, and supposedly used her to avoid punishment, which is unacceptable of both employees.
