Playing as surgeon, tried opening the medbot.  No clue how, was hitting it one tool at a time and swearing at each failure.  Just said "Why won't you open up?" when Alina got pissed and melted my face, then drugged me with mindbreaker, then stabbed my eyes into partial blindness.  I turned her into a monkey in response.  Had no Idea how to do that either, just threw one in the scanner, hit buttons until I saw "Injector" then nailed her with it as she was punching me for sneaking into chems.

This anecdote is full of wat

She did all of that to you because you broke into Chem lab? And the fight escalated over to Genetics, and nobody noticed, where you had time while under LSD and half-blind, to inject her with monkey genes?

No, I tried fixing the medbot but ended up just smacking it with tools. She did all that in response to harming the medbot.
Once I stopped tripping, I asked the RD for bombs. She said no so I had the captain let me into genetics.  When I later snuck into chems to inject her, she started beating me to death for entering. Which caused her to stand still JUST long enough.

That seems a bit excessive.

You were going to BLOW her up?

And effectively cripple the ENTIRE medbay?

Why not call security?

Been informed Simon melted me.  Ah well, she still LSDed me then stabbed my eyes with a screwdriver over a damn medbot. And she turned out to be a traitor!
Also, the bombs were after both the HoS and the captain ignored my cries for justice.

Actually, that was Simon that melted your face. You just caught the edge of Alina's mindbreaker grenade, I think. The syringe I injected you with actually was Bicard to help with the bruising you had. And frankly, medbots are precious and you were beating on it with the crowbar like there was no tomorrow, even after we gave you a countdown to stop and leave. After the first time whacking it with blunt objects, you could have turned and asked for help, or (in a meta sense) looked it up. Repeatedly beating it does nothing.

I swapped tools after every swing.  Swore after each failure, then asked it why it wouldn't just open for me.

[Flying Dice]

The logical step after the first failure is not "Swing something else at it.", it's "Ask/look up how to do it." Isn't it? I mean, it's not like someone figures out how to get chemicals by hitting the machines in Chem with various containers, right? Same idea?

For that matter you weren't even clear over whether you were trying to open it or repair the damage you'd already caused. But whatever, let's continue this in PMs if at all.

[Gamerboy4life]

To me it just seems that all sides of the conflict kind of blew it out of proportions.

Most servers I play on, Medbots are hardly used. There's doctors in the bay for a reason, I believe medbots are more along the lines of "Slap some Tricordrazine in and toss them in engineering/security/whatever for a quick fix if needed." So I don't get why everyone freaked.


But then again, Chloral or security would have worked much better than Mindbreaker and blunt objects applied to the guy's face.


But then having the intent to blow up the lab, (Which is pretty much indispensable) but later turning the person into a monkey is odd as well.

[b_knight286]

I RP my surgeon as a stoner. He had no damn clue what was going on.  He was using stoner logic. Dude...turn her into a monkey!

Medbots automatically inject tricordrazine, I think. At least, whatever they inject heals just about everything.

Also, doctors tend to be inefficient for healing most minor injuries. They're technically supposed to take care of people who are incapacitated, people who can't make it to medbay on their own (or are too stubborn to), perform surgery (at least I think MDs are the ones who do surgery), or help the other medical personnel with their jobs.

Well, in round one I caused minor troubles until I was recruited as a cop, then injected people with my blood when things went to shit, also preformed emergency eye surgery on my blind leader

Round 2 involves me being the worst bartender ever, taking like eight minutes to hack a door and still failing, and then lying dead in a maintenance shaft after accidentally clicking a powerline with cutters

so far, it's a blast

I could have sworn you needed to manually make a chemical for them to inject, or maybe I play different servers. Every server has this or that altered.


But yeah, the fact that most doctors are severely incompetent really irks me. It's one of the more valuable/stressful jobs on the station. Especially in emergencies, when there's a half-dozen dying crewmembers and they walk around bashing people in the face with a first-aid kit. It's just as bad as the engineers who do nothing but steal hardsuits and don't actually know how to fix breaches.

I spend so much time stuck in maintenance shafts.
