== Xenomorph Analysis ==
This is a four-step process, more thoroughly detailed in the [[TGMC:Guide to Research|Guide to Research]], but in-depth knowledge isn't needed to do the job as efficiently as possible.

# Find a dead xenomorph. Most researchers accomplish this by waiting in the FOB on the ground, to head off any frontliners dragging their prize back to the ASRS pad. This is ideal, because your civilian-level combat training makes acquiring your own corpses difficult.
# Hit it with your science bonesaw. This takes about five seconds, and is also the only part of the process that doctor-level medical training is actually needed for. A xenomorph chunk will pop out at your feet; higher ranking xenos give better chunks.
# Throw the chunk in the science tube. Using the research console again will pop up a menu that will show you potential rewards and probabilities. There's nothing else to do with the xenomorph materials, so analyze away! You can unlock the console and drag it around. It's generally best to keep one in the FOB and the other on the ship, because if both get melted by acid you're out of a job.
# Use whatever reward you get. You'll always find credits, which can be sold through the ASRS pad or in Requisitions on the ship, but there's also a decent chance of getting unique implants with questionable combat effectiveness. Keep in mind that these implants can be pulled out by clueless Corpsmen poking around with their tweezers.

You can pretty easily double the amount of points Requisitions gets from each xeno kill by just sitting in the FOB and doing this to whatever comes through. Unfortunately, AI-controlled minions can't be dissected for research material, so you're only able to get value out of "real" xenos. This is the more significant part of your job, as the other half only gets you more material for the research console.

While you're waiting, remember that you're a perfectly capable surgeon in a reasonably safe area, and that a lot of marines will be wandering back to the FOB in hopes of finding a medevac so they can get surgery. If you're going to oblige them, remember to bring down antiseptics and anesthetic, either in pills or air tanks.
