Doc12

Doc12 requested a certain type of microbe to be caught for a clinical study. Inform her once they have been caught. Microbe catching requests on the bulletin board, have a chance to ask for 2 to 3 of any of the four different types of microbes. After these microbes have bee caught and the player has returned to Doc12, they will keep the microbes not turn them in.

The bulletin board can be found to the right of Chip's Canteen on the plaza deck (04). Every few days the bulletin board will have a marker above it, letting the player know there is a new request to pick up. There are three types of bulletin missions: to kill enemies, to find a certain type of microbe, or to bring various items to the character who posted the request.

Overview

1. Pick up the quest from the bulletin board.
2. Catch the requested microbes.
3. Turn in to Doc12

Walkthrough

Bulletin Board

When this mission is selected, the player will see a generic bulletin request that says:

Notice to all crewmates,

I am conducting another clinical study and would be interested to know if a certain type of microbe could be caught in a timely manner. The outcome may benefit us all greatly, so any participation is encouraged.

Cordially,
Doc12

There are only a few of the crew that will ask for microbes on their bulletin board request, all of them are able to ask for two to three of any of the four types of microbes. The player does not turn in the microbes when turning in the quest, so they are able to sell or use them as they see fit. The reward range in the below table is calculated off of the quantity requested range. The player can calculate their specific reward using this formula: $(12*quantityRequested)=creditReward$

Using this formula the player will be rewarded between 24  and 36  upon turning in the quest.

Active

Once the quest is active, they will need to gather the requested items within the designated time frame. The player can open the mission log, on the left side of the screen, at any time to check their progress. Once the player has gathered enough of the requested items, the mission log icon will have a green check mark on it. It is suggested the player confirms they completed this specific mission, as the green check mark just tells the player that one of their current missions are complete.

If the player speaks with Doc12 while this mission is active, they will say:

Well this is a switch. Isn't the second in command supposed to help you out? Thanks for picking up my bulletin request.

Turn In

Once the player has obtained the requested item(s), they need to return to Doc12. When the player speaks with them, the quest will automatically turn in and they will say:

Just in time. I was beginning to worry you had abandoned my bulletin request.

So you were able to find those microbe types aboard the ship?

Perfect. That is all I needed to know and I will add this data into my research documents now.

I will make an additional note that you were quite helpful too. Thank you.

The player will then automatically obtain their  credits reward, based off the number of microbes requested, and will get the microbes they caught back.
