Biohazard Alert

Biohazard Alert

Confirmed outbreak of level five biohazard aboard NSS Aurora. All personnel must contain the outbreak.

Is usually followed by "What does level five mean?". Could someone in the know please give us a list of what each biohazard means? You would think the crew members would of been briefed on this kind of stuff.

Thanks.

Yeah, followed by the hilariously meta "it means blob" response. An explanation of the different levels would be cool along with other things being part of a level 5...not just blob.

Level 5 = Random person gets a disease (if it's the random event) Elsewise it just means there's a viral outbreak on the szation.

Level 7 = Blob

Hmm odd, on every other server it's the visa versa and I swear it was the sane on this server.

Nope, on here, 7 has been blob for as far back as I can remember. And it has only been blob. 5 is the one that could be a few things.

Makes more sense IMO so cool. Still clarity on level 1-7 would still b-cool.

[Skull132]

There are only levels 7 and 5.

5 is either a virus, or something else. I forget what the something else is.

It's not meta, if something is classed as a level seven biohazard, than someone somewhere working for NanoTrasen identified a blob, recorded it and now the information is probably wide-spread for safety reasons.

[LordFowl]

Its pretty meta.

[TishinaStalker]

I'm pretty sure blobs are a known thing in the lore from something Jackboot said ages ago. It's very likely engineers, at the least, would know what a blob is because it's part of their job description. Blobs are not unknown species.

[Guest]

Blobs are 100% known to the crew, just like space carp are, space vines and biomass. These are things the crew would know because they are hazards known to everyone in the known galaxy.

[Zundy]

Right so a level 7 biohazard means "we literally have a blob on the station"? What's a level 1 biohazard? Level 2? Why even have the extra levels when we could have: Level 1 = Virus, Level 2 = Blob?

[Skull132]

Mainly because, soundbytes. We only have soundbytes for levels 5 and 7. So we only have those to play around with. If we wanted to rework in any way, we'd need new soundbytes, and we'd probably need to redo all the voice announcements for consistency reasons.

Moved to the proper subforum.

[Guest Marlon Phoenix]

A Level 5 biohazard means an infectious disease has gotten in the crew.

A level 7 biohazard means a blob has grown on the station.

It's not meta to know 7 means blob because it never activates for anything else so it's assumed the alert is specifically for a virus. Why would we give players an alert about the blob then call it meta when they use the alert?

[SierraKomodo]

Can we come up with a list of what different biohazard levels, from 1 to 7, could mean? I'd imagine there'd be one for things like a slime outbreak, toxins leak (The canisters are labelled Toxin (BIO) after all), xenobiological entities, etc

Since the newcode update, Level 7 now includes spacevines and other annoying biomasses.
