Department/Team Name: Science Department Head: Luis Sera Located at: Contagion Containment Laboratory (down the hall from Medical Bay)
Duties: Scientific research and development in cooperation with other departments and under commission from crew members. If the crew at large or a specific crew member needs a particular something researched, replicated or created for them, Science is the team to do it.
Where duties crossover with other departments: Science collaborates quite a bit with Medical when it comes to research (with Science doing the research and Medical doing the actual treatments and applications). Science also does a lot of work with Engineering, planning and developing new technologies for Engineering to use. Many characters on Science are actually half-timers with either of these departments. Luis would highly appreciate some more full-time staff members: often it's just him and Scarlet.
Requirements to Join, if any: Science needs a diverse group in terms of disciplines (physicists, biologists and chemists) so if your character has any practical experience in these fields, Luis will let them onto the staff in a heartbeat. Being on staff means you get free reign of the contagion lab (which, despite its name, is actually a full scale biology/chemistry lab.)
The two rules of the department are 1) Luis must approve all staff projects and 2) No killing everyone with explosions or toxic gas or whatever. Biological weapon research is also strictly forbidden (unless it's to find cures for it.)
This sounds strict, but as a department head Luis fairly laid-back and usually too involved in his own work to worry about anyone else's. He takes one glance at your stuff before approving it. However, he is EXTREMELY strict about ethics and any mad-scientist-type projects will be shut down very quickly. If your Science character sways towards the more neutral/evil side, they had better either try to hide what they're doing or else be prepared to get into a fierce argument with Luis over it.
Is this department/team publicly known? (Some are private and need-to-know). Yes
Who to contact OOCly or ICly to join: Talk to Luis Sera (played by GG, FullArmoredGG on AIM) or his second-in-command, Scarlet Levy (played by Varis, hardertokill on AIM.)
SCIENCE!!! (with thanks to GG for all the info)
