As always, protecting yourself from the disease is most important. Be conservative, however. If the crew finds out it was you who released the disease, they'll be out for your blood. Releasing bad diseases (even from neglect) when not a traitor is an easy way to be banned.

==Welcome Doctor==
Unlike Robert Nevile, you will not have a huge kick-ass adventure while making diseases. You will sit in your lab and likely fuck up constantly. Just make sure the [[Chemist]] or the [[Chief Medical Officer]] are around (and attentive) or you won't be able to cure uncommon diseases and might have an outbreak. Curing diseases is typically first done by [[Chemist|chemists]], but it's your job to turn cured blood into a vaccine, which is a much more effective treatment.

===[[Infections|Infecting]] Monkeys===
On paper, this is your job. Make a virus, inject a monkey, and record the results. Then cure the monkey.

If you're concerned about the monkeys and don't want to have a pen full of contagion conveniently sitting around, move a single monkey to one of your isolation rooms and treat/infect them there.

How to create vaccines:
# Take a blood sample from a cured subject.
# Inject the blood into any beaker.
# Insert the beaker into the Pandemic 2000.
# Select "create vaccine".

This gives you a bottle containing a few units of vaccine against that particular disease. As [[Chemistry]] to turn it into 0.5u pills, or do it yourself in the [[Holodeck]].

You can also see the cure to a disease using your Pandemic machine (even if the virus has 2+ stealth), and reproduce it if there is an active culture in the blood, for [[Traitor#Advanced_Methods_of_Murder| whatever reason.]]

===A MAN IN BRAZIL IS COUGHING!===
Viruses can get loose on the station in many ways: [[random events]], [[traitor]]ous activity, and the most common way of all: your own incompetence. If you accidentally infect someone with a harmful virus, well, there is not much you can do except quarantine, treat, and ensure they aren't infectious before releasing them. Make sure only people that know [[Beyond the impossible|exactly what they're doing]] can enter your room. Warn people beforehand that you're conducting experiments and remember to vaccinate yourself once you research a disease.

===CREATE A PANDEMIC!===
You are able to create your own diseases with various symptoms, stats, and bonuses. Read [[Infections#Advanced_Diseases|this]] for a guide!

==== Symbiosis ====
Viruses don't always have to be something to be avoided. With a bit of work, you can engineer friendly viruses that come with a number of beneficial symptoms, such as eliminating the need to breathe, or even one that lets the body regenerate its own health when badly hurt. Just make sure you clear it with the [[CMO]] and let the station know what your friendly virus does before releasing it, or you might find yourself at the end of a pitchfork.

==Tips==
* Do not use sneeze or cough symptoms in beneficial viruses without neutering them. These are annoying and people will rush medbay to have it cured. They also make the virus appear negative on medical huds.
* A perfectly made virus blend from virology can heal you under certain conditions at a decent rate.
* A person can only be infected by one advanced virus at a time but can have up to six symptoms. In terms of beneficial viruses, there are several symptoms.
** Level 6 Beneficial Virus: This tier of virus can be made with all the resources available at round start, with minimal need for outside help. A nice symptom at this level is '''Self-Respiration'''.
** Level 8 Beneficial Virus: This tier requires you to grind uranium and silver or gold. '''Regenerative Coma''' is considered to be the "best" symptom overall.
* If you actually do manage to make a beneficial virus and want to distribute it, have a superior vet it and ask them to announce it to the station via their desk.
* If you get a virus with unwanted symptoms, use your dropper set to transfer one unit of [[Synaptizine]] to your virus. Your 30 unit bottle will be good for a full 30 uses.
* A beneficial airborne virus with decent resistance stat will protect the crew from most of the bad viruses that may be spawned from people breathing miasma.

==Typhoid Mary==
Being a [[traitor]] is where a dangerous [[jobs|job]] like this one really shines. Even if the Gibbing virus is forever lost to the archives (F), you can still wreak a lot of havoc and confusion on the station.

Releasing a pandemic is a good way to cause chaos, creating a convenient cover for illicit activities, or straight out murdering most of the crew. As always, protecting yourself from the disease is most important. Be conservative, however. If the crew finds out it was you who released the disease, they'll be out for your blood. Releasing bad diseases (even from neglect) when not a traitor is an easy way to be banned.

If for some reason you don't want to spread terrible death everywhere, your office is secluded and difficult to get into, making it a common base for [[cult]] activity. Don't forget to cut the cameras.
