Research

Research plays a vital role in fighting the menace, slowing their advance and making it more difficult for them to perform their actions. Eventually, as research grows more complex and advanced tools become available, a permanent Mush cure and a distant Utopian world can even be discovered. Nothing is impossible for the resourceful crew for the Daedalus!

Mechanics
The terminal can be accessed in the. It brings up options for fighting, granting the crew bonus Glory and provides a number of useful commodities.

The gained for certain research projects is immediately obtained by all living humans upon completion, and an additional  can be earned when reaching Sol or Eden. Certain glory paths gain additional depending on the researches: Research can be a very affair. And since NERON will lock unclean personnel out of the research console, wearing the (or being ) when participating is mandatory to avoid suspicion and long treks to the shower.
 * MoH earns an additional 4  each time a research requiring her presence is completed.
 * Mush_research earn an additional 3  for all Mush-related research.
 * Mush_cure earn an additional 5  when completing the

Participating in research costs 2 or 1, and the efficiency is increased for  and  characters:

Having a in the  nullifies the gap, and fixes efficiency to its higher bound. For example, a 6-9% relay will always grant a 9% advance.

A character's research efficiency drops with every participation, requiring Relaying to reset it.

The BIOS affects research in that the can be set to Research, limiting participation to  and  characters, and  can also be set to Research, increasing efficiency by 1-1% or 1-2%:

Research requirements
Many research options have certain conditions that must be met before they become available, including the presence of certain objects or characters in the Laboratory. If they are not met, the research option will not be visible, though any progress made is preserved.

The most important conditions for research are:
 * The presence of a in the lab, or a .)
 * The presence of the in the lab, or the decoded .)
 * The presence of the, which can be obtained by finding the.
 * A Dead . (The place of death is irrelevant, it can be even outside Daedalus, unless you're playing a special Game mode). A Mush that is traded will not count as a dead Mush.

There will be messages indicating when certain requirements are met:

Some projects also require other related items on the shelf. Finally, the "NCC Contact Lenses" are a special case in that needs to be picked up and held in the inventory while working on them.
