Proposal: What’s Your Poison?

Reached quorum 6 votes to 1. Enacted by Kevan.

Repeal the rule “Assimilation”. Rename the rule “Drugged” to “Drugs” and add the following paragraph to it:-

As a weekly action, the Doctor may Inject any Crewmember by sending a private message to the Ship’s Computer with the text “Inject XXX with YYY” where XXX is the Crewmember to be Injected and YYY is either Saline or Mercury. The Computer should process such a request as soon as it can, and as follows: if an Android is injected with Saline or a Human is injected with Mercury, that Crewmember gains the Emotion Injured; if an Android is injected with Mercury or a Human is injected with Saline, that Crewmember has a 50% chance of gaining the Emotion Injured. Injection is a Strenuous action.

Making the Doctor’s Assimilation a straight injury-causing mechanic, without the victim also swapping sides.

for Might be a bit too strong as an identification method though?

Is it any stronger than the current rule?

Under the current rule, if you Assimilate a Crewmember you think is an Android to make them Human, they’re either Injured by the procedure (meaning they were already Human or they were an unlucky Android) or uninjured (meaning they are now Human). The only difference here is that an uninjured Android remains an Android; the odds of getting useful information are the same.

It’s not any stronger than it is right now I think.

I could be totally wrong, too, it just seems like it could potentially have extreme effects.

Nothing is keeping everyone from getting Injured, but seems better than the current rule. imperial

against because I like the complexity of type changing.
