== 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 theyare 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 ''' Mush Sample''' in the lab. (Or ''' Contact made with Nils Carlsson'''.)
* The presence of ''' Zhong Chun''' in the lab. (Or decoded ''' Zhong Chun's Genome Codex'''.)
* The presence of the ''' Mush Genome Disk''', which can be obtained by finding the ''' Mush genome data'''.
* A  '''Dead''' Mush. (The place of death is irrelevant, it can be even outside Daedalus.) 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 ''' Schrödinger''' needs to be ''picked up'' and held in the inventory while working on them.

Mechanics

The Research Lab terminal can be accessed in the Laboratory. It brings up options for fighting  Mush, 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.  Chun earns an additional 4  each time a research requiring her presence is completed.  Finola earns an additional 3  for all Mush-related research.

Research can be a very Dirty affair. And since NERON will lock unclean personnel out of the research console, wearing the  Stainproof Apron when participating is mandatory to avoid suspicion and long treks to the shower.

Participating in research costs 2 , and the efficiency is increased for  Biologist and  Medic characters:

Icon Description Efficiency
Neither  Biologist nor  Medic Base efficiency
Biologist or  Medic (i.e. only one) Base efficiency + 4-6%
Biologist and  Medic (i.e. both) Base efficency + 8-12%

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

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

Base efficiency Added efficiency

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 theyare not met, the research option will not be visible, though any progress made is preserved.
