NASA's Glenn to test lunar air quality monitors aboard space station

As NASA prepares to return to the moon, studying astronaut health and safety is a top priority. Scientists monitor and analyze every part of the International Space Station crew's daily life—down to the air they breathe. These studies are helping NASA prepare for long-term human exploration of the moon and, eventually, Mars.

As part of this effort, NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland is sending three air quality monitors to the space station to test them for potential future use on the moon. The monitors are slated to launch on Monday, April 21, aboard the 32nd SpaceX commercial resupply services mission for NASA.

Like our homes here on Earth, the space station gets dusty from skin flakes, clothing fibers, and personal care products like deodorant. Because the station operates in microgravity, particles do not have an opportunity to settle and instead remain floating in the air. Filters aboard the orbiting laboratory collect these particles to ensure the air remains safe and breathable.

Astronauts will face another air quality risk when they work and live on the moon—lunar dust.

"From Apollo, we know lunar dust can cause irritation when breathed into the lungs," said Claire Fortenberry, principal investigator, Exploration Aerosol Monitors project, NASA Glenn. "Earth has weather to naturally smooth dust particles down, but there is no atmosphere on the moon, so lunar dust particles are sharper and craggier than Earth dust. Lunar dust could potentially impact crew health and damage hardware."

Future space stations and lunar habitats will need monitors capable of measuring lunar dust to ensure air filtration systems are functioning properly. Fortenberry and her team selected commercially available monitors for flight and ground demonstration to evaluate their performance in a spacecraft environment, with the goal of providing a dust monitor for future exploration systems.

Glenn is sending three commercial monitors to the space station to test onboard air quality for seven months. All three monitors are small: no bigger than a shoe box. Each one measures a specific property that provides a snapshot of the air quality aboard the station. Researchers will analyze the monitors based on weight, functionality, and ability to accurately measure and identify small concentrations of particles in the air.

The research team will receive data from the space station every two weeks. While those monitors are orbiting Earth, Fortenberry will have three matching monitors at Glenn. Engineers will compare functionality and results from the monitors used in space to those on the ground to verify they are working as expected in microgravity. Additional ground testing will involve dust simulants and smoke.

Air quality monitors like the ones NASA is testing also have Earth-based applications. The monitors are used to investigate smoke plumes from wildfires, haze from urban pollution, indoor pollution from activities like cooking and cleaning, and how virus-containing droplets spread within an enclosed space.

Results from the investigation will help NASA evaluate which monitors could accompany astronauts to the moon and eventually Mars. NASA will allow the manufacturers to review results and ensure the monitors work as efficiently and effectively as possible. Testing aboard the space station could help companies investigate pollution problems here on Earth and pave the way for future missions to the Red Planet.

"Going to the moon gives us a chance to monitor for planetary dust and the lunar environment," Fortenberry said. "We can then apply what we learn from lunar exploration to predict how humans can safely explore Mars."

NASA commercial resupply missions to the International Space Station deliver scientific investigations in the areas of biology and biotechnology, Earth and space science, physical sciences, and technology development and demonstrations. Cargo resupply from U.S. companies ensures a national capability to deliver scientific research to the space station, significantly increasing NASA's ability to conduct new investigations aboard humanity's laboratory in space.

Codex Entry: A Primer of Poison Reagents

A collection of hand-drawn botanical diagrams, labeled and annotated for their use in poison making. Some appear more artistic than academic. Errors and corrections have been marked in red ink.

Andraste’s Mantle

Herb, wyvern venom antidote. Slow boil chopped leaves, stems, and concentrator overnight to create an extract. Add one part for every three doses mixed. Below, in Viago’s handwriting: —Crush the leaves by hand, do not chop them.

Deathroot, Arcanist

Causes disorientation, dizziness, and hallucinations. Shave thinly and burn for aerosolized effect, or grind into paste for epidermal applications. Do not use in liquid solutions—substitute madcap essence instead. —Amend this after you revisit Ortega’s essay on different varieties of Deathroot.

Ghoul’s Beard

Alleged combustible if ingested. Combine with a stabilizing agent before use in any recipe. Do not mix with Rashvine Nettle. —We do not rely on alleged poison effects. Where did you hear this? Hastily scrawled below, in a script similar to the main report: —Lucanis swore it was true. —Refrain from trusting the Dellamorte boy with questions of poison. You are a de Riva, you should know more than him.

Mushroom, Deep

Fungi with hallucinogenic and lethal properties that grow underground near Blight and lyrium veins. Best used as an additive to dishes with strong flavor, to disguise their odd taste and scent. —This is so broad as to be useless. Redo it with acknowledgments for the variants.

Vasanthum Sap

Strong fragrance with little to no taste. Naturally toxic, but more potent if distilled. Harvest under Satina for stronger effects. —Specify the meaning of strong fragrance. Sweet? Foul? Amend with implications for use.

Added below the last entry, in Viago's handwriting:

Stop rushing through your studies. Be thorough. Do better.

The catharsis this study gave me by comparing humidity and UV's effects on aerosol spread: Even if farUV is as good as the three or so small-scale studies claim, just take a look at those whiskers. I like my range of efficacy to have a much smaller confidence interval, plus air filters and humidifiers are cheaper and easier to maintain.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the role of indoor environments on disease transmission. However, our understanding of how transmission occurred evolved as the pandemic progressed. Enclosed spaces where pathogen-laden aerosols accumulate were strongly linked to increased transmission events. Most classrooms, particulalry in the U.S., do not have any mechanical ventilation systems but do have many people congregating indoors for long periods of time. Here we employ a safe, non-pathogenic surrogate virus, the bacteriophage phi6, to interrogate aerosol transmission in classroom environments that do not have any natural or mechanical ventilation in order to provide baseline understanding of how effectively aerosols facilitate new infections. We measure exposure risk using a modified passive monitoring technique compliant with applicable standards, including ISO 14698–1:2003. We find that virus-laden aerosols establish new infections over all distances tested within minutes and that the time of exposure did not change transmission rate. We further find that relative humidity, but not temperature nor a UV-based disinfection device, significantly lowered transmission rates. Our data suggest that, even without mechanical ventilation, relative humidity remains an inexpensive and highly effective mitigation strategy while UV air treatment may not.

3D nanoprinting technique can transform ceramics for high-performance systems, from disease detection to space travel

The same material from which you drink your morning coffee could transform the way scientists detect disease, purify water, and insulate space shuttles thanks to an entirely new approach to ceramic manufacturing. Published in Advanced Science, 3D-AJP is an aerosol jet 3D nanoprinting technique that allows for the fabrication of highly complex ceramic structures that—at just 10 micrometers (a fraction of the width of human hair)—are barely visible to the naked eye. These 3D structures are made up of microscale features including pillars, spirals, and lattices that allow for controlled porosity, ultimately enabling advances in ceramic applications. "It would be impossible to machine ceramic structures as small and as precise as these using traditional manufacturing methods," explained Rahul Panat, professor of mechanical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University and the lead author of the study. "They would shatter."

How you doing man?

I'm doing okay. Just distracted and unmotivated, in all aspects of my life.

A Perfect Resolution...

Jaune Arc at the age of eighteen was a one of the very few inhabitants of Remnant, and resident's of Vale that held a triple doctorate. His fields of study microbiology, molecular biology, and virology... all focused on the study and understanding of the life mechanisms of the Grimm.

At the age of fourteen while away from his home community of Ansel, studying in Atlas' premiere boarding school lost his family. A Grimm horde having attacked and overwhelmed the defenses of his home. The onslaught decimated the population, and caused him to lose everyone he loved.

Refusing to give into despair, Jaune threw himself into his studies. A burning rage and hatred for not only the Grimm but also an intense loathing the Huntsmen and Huntresses that had failed to keep the people of Ansel safe, and by extension... his family alive.

Using his not inconsiderable family wealth and connections, once he graduated at the age of sixteen with his triple doctorate he founded Umbrella Corporation. While the board of directors and investor's ran the day to day operations focusing on cutting edge medical applications, treatments, therapies, and drugs... Jaune given complete freedom choose a more sinister path.

Accompanied by his executive assistant and research partner Deandra "Deery" Birch, Jaune delved in to the biology of the Grimm. After two years of non-stop and exhaustive research he was now in the testing phase. Secured in a impregnable observation room, he watched impassively through the viewing pane as an average size Beowulf rages and stalked about the 5 meter by 5 meter room.

"Everything is prepped Jaune." Deery informed her longtime friend.

"Release the agent."

Deery nodded and turned her attention to the bank of high tech monitoring and control equipment. Flipping up the protective cover situated over the top of a prominent red button... she depressed it.

"Viral Agent has been aerosolized. Sterilization measures on standby." came a rather childlike emotionless voice of Jaune's lab's AI.

"The Red Queen is funneling all the data to our monitoring systems." Deery commented as she ignored the Grimm and focused on the data being generated. "The agent has achieved five precent saturation of the air."

"Okay you fuck..." Jaune whispered as his hard azure eyes watched, searching for any sign that his most current creation had an effect on the still mysterious physiology and biology of his... subject.

Time slowed to a crawl as Jaune watched, and Deery with the assistance of the Red Queen monitored. The effects were, negligible at the onset. So Jaune watched and waited. At the ten minute mark Jaune's lips twisted into a cruel smile. Deery shivered as the test subject started to howl, as if in intense agony.

Jaune watched with a sense of enjoyment and satisfaction as the Grimm convulsed, and writhed within the confines of the hermetically sealed room. Pustules, lesions, and boils erupted all across the Beowulf's body. It's inky black hide taken on a mottled appearance. darkness with significant patches of ashen grey. Slowly the despised creature stopped it's agonized cries. It stood, inky goo dropping from it's jaws. Once burning red eyes, now a pale white.

"Sterilize the room." Jaune instructed. "We're done for today."

Deery didn't hesitate to initiate the process. She had no love for the foul beast which in that small room. Pressing her palm against a biometric scanner she activated the system.

"Sterilization process initiated." came the emotionless confirmation from the Red Queen.

Jaune watched through the polarized safety glass as the room was engulfed in a sudden bright flash. The subjected didn't even get a chance to react. Instantly collapsing into a puddle of slime and evaporating away.

"Deery, please compile the data for review later tonight; and then take the rest of the evening off. Feel free to also come in late." Jaune commented his eyes never straying from the now empty chamber. "I'll see you around noon."

"Of course Jaune." Deery responded. It was normal in these private sessions for the pair to drop all the formalities, using first names, or in Jaune's case Deandra's nickname.

With the test complete, Jaune turned from the viewing pane and left the room through the secure entrance.

Mixologist (Alchemist Archetype)

(art by eleth-art on DeviantArt)

There are plenty that believe that alcohol makes everything better, though admittedly most are referring to beverages, but the substance as plenty of medical and chemical uses as well.

Today’s archetype… is only a little bit about the latter. I present the mixologist!

Now, in the real world, mixology is less a study and more a skill about understanding what flavor profiles work together specifically for making mixed drinks that taste good and only make you sick after several of them instead of on the first sip.

So, applying this to the alchemist class, the mixologist is a master of adding alcohol to their various concoctions in a way that doesn’t ruin them (the concoction or the alcohol) to enhance their effects at the cost of getting you drunk, with all the debuffs involved, if you fail the fortitude saves. And yes, this archetype did come from the Inner Sea Taverns book, how did you guess?

Now, this archetype does have some conceptual overlap with the fermenter archetype, and certainly the mixologist would no doubt be quite happy to also make use of the tinctures that fermenters are also associated with, but I do think they are quite different in their application. Fermenters being more focused on the creation of alcohol, while mixologists focus on applying the finished product.

It also behooves me to inform you that certain abilities of this archetype reference the expanded drunkenness rules from Inner Sea Tavern, so you may have to modify this archetype a bit if you’re only using it and not those rules.

Now, let’s take a look, shall we?

At the core of the archetype is their knack for adding alcohol to the brewing of their potions and extracts. While the former requires more ingredients to stabilize them, the end result is stronger potions and extracts that are also quite potent in their alcohol content too, making it easy to get absolutely shitfaced if one has too many in a short period.

However, they don’t stop at the brews they drink, applying alcohol to their bombs as well. When they choose to do so, the alcohol aerosolizes into the air when the bomb explodes, giving the targets a contact buzz from the alcohol, potentially getting them drunker and drunker until they outright pass out if they keep getting hit by such bombs.

Naturally, their constant experimentation also means they develop just as much tolerance to alcohol as they do to poison, though never full immunity (gods, can you imagine?)

Normally, they can only have a small fraction of their extracts be alcohol-enhanced, but masterful mixologists can double that number, ensuring that their brews are quite potent (and their selves almost never sober) throughout most of the day.

Whether you’re playing an alchemist that never got over their party years at the college, a fantasy bartender who enjoys blending disciplines, or simply a brilliant scientist that is willing to pursue progress even to the bottom of a bottle, this archetype can be fun whether you plan on using it with the expanded or classic drunkenness rules. In practice, you can get a little bit more potency out of a lot of your extracts and potions at the cost of getting some debuffs through their use, but much like in the real world, moderation can help mitigate that.

Now, I probably don’t need to say this. Most of you who play this game are adults and get it. But between the mixologist and fermenter, not to mention archetypes like drunken rager and drunken brute barbarian and the drunken master monk, please drink responsibly at your table. Do not try to emulate the alcohol intake of your character, especially if you gotta drive home after the game. You likely do not have their fantastical liver nor the ability to gain superpowers from your booze. It’s like playing a character who smokes or does drugs. Neat for narrative reasons, but you know better.

While everything on the Plane of Law runs like clockwork, even axiomites must take a break every now and again, but rarely do they party so hard as to disrupt the schedules of the plane. This is why the arbiter inevitable Seventy-Fifth Timekeeper is so concerned when they learn that a new bar that has opened up on the plane provides drinks that can knock even lawful outsiders for a loop.

Though he make look like a fish out of water, Bizgax the grindylow can knock your socks off from behind his combination fish tank and bar, The Soused Siren. What’s more, he sells alchemically enhanced brews to wealthy customers, preferring bottles to mugs so they can take them where the effects benefit them the most.

Learning about the Drunk Mosquito speakeasy is hard. Getting in is even harder, as the play is owned by a powerful wizard who shrouds the place in secrecy and magic. Starting trouble in there, however, is easy the first time, because it won’t happen again with the barkeeper keeping a few special brews below the bar that let them hit harder than any drunk dumb enough to pick a fight.

LAB REPORT #312 — 'Tracker Jacker Venom': Composition and Application

Date of Submission: [REDACTED] Clearance Level: Tier-4 (Military/Medical) Secondary Review: Dr. Anton Frell, Dr. Saline Virtus Author's Note: This study reflects data extracted under controlled aggression protocols; all venom extracted from stabilized hives D12-114 through D12-117.

1. TAXONOMIC CLASSIFICATION

Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Arthropoda Class: Insecta Order: Hymenoptera Family: Vespidae Genus & Species: Vespa mortem Capitol Designation: Tracker Jacker

2. VENOM COMPOSITION

Primary Components:

Neurotoxin A5 ("Mortexin"): A synapse-destabilizing compound that induces hallucinatory cycles via serotonin receptor flooding. Histamine-accelerant Protein (HAP-3): Induces severe inflammation and increased capillary permeability, leading to rapid swelling and dermal pain. Retroactive Memory Trigger (RMT-7): Disrupts hippocampal stability, activating emotionally charged memories with distorted framing. Stabilizer Enzyme: Preserves venom integrity outside of biological containment up to 13 hours.

3. PATHWAY OF EFFECT

Upon injection (via sting), the venom enters the bloodstream within 4 seconds. The neurotoxin crosses the blood-brain barrier rapidly, localizing in the amygdala, hippocampus, and frontal cortex. Observable effects occur within 15–23 seconds.

Phase I – Neurological Overload: Tremors, confusion, pupil dilation, auditory hallucinations. Phase II – Hallucinogenic Response: Visual overlays of emotionally-charged hallucinations. Phase III – Emotional Collapse: Identity disruption, self-destructive ideation, paranoia.

In 82% of test subjects, the hallucinations persist beyond venom metabolization, suggesting long-term neural rewiring.

4. CASE STUDY: Subject T-098 (Peeta Mellark)

Dosage: 0.3 mL refined venom Method: Intravenous, controlled drip Response: Severe perceptual distortion within 12 seconds Verbal fixations on familiar anchors Long-term paranoia and identity inversion successfully induced Subject maintains affective inversion post-venom clearance

5. SYNTHETIC REPLICATION TRIALS

Version V6.2 : Successful in 3/5 trials; unstable in elevated temperature environments. Version V6.8 : Improved memory disruption, reduced inflammatory response; currently under ethical review. Further trials ongoing for oral and aerosolized delivery mechanisms.

6. CONCLUSION

Continued research is recommended into targeted fragmentation and programmed reformation using venom-adjacent compounds.

Clone!Izuku part 1

It’s difficult to practice with a quirk like Izuku’s when there is no one to practice on. It inherently needs a partner, a person to effect. However, he is also supposed to remain undetected, hiding from the Doctor and the people he works with. 

This should be easier than it is, considering that Izuku makes it a point to stay in a very different part of town. Still, the Doctor has a magnificent memory and if he catches wind of someone with Izuku’s quirk running around, he would know that one of his clones was on the loose.

Izuku used to be able to practice with his mother, the woman who took him in when the lab was closed down, but she was killed in a villain attack last year. So, a new plan. He has found a sort of slum, on the opposite side of the city from The Doctor. He lives in one of the warehouses there. And he practices his quirk on the junkies in the alleys nearby. 

They are usually too out of it from the drugs to notice, and if they aren’t their first assumption is usually to blame the drug they did/are doing. Usually, that their drugs were laced with something. Which they weren’t, that was Izuku. But if a side effect of Izuku’s quirk practice makes people more careful about their drug habits, then that is okay with him.

So, he practices as best as he can. He has a test coming up after all. Not that he would be able to use his quirk in the test. More likely than not he will be attempting to go through quirkless. But he’s going to do his best either way. At least get into General Education.  

Which is why he needs to practice his quirk! Even if he doesn’t pass the heroics exam, which he should if they pit the applicants against each other, but no one knows how UA’s exam goes. It’s kept very hush-hush. But even if he doesn’t do well enough there, he can get into the hero course through the sports festival!

Backup plans are realistic and most often necessary. Always pays to have a few ready. 

~~~~~

“There have been frequent reports from this location recently, I’d like you to incorporate it into your patrols for the next few weeks.”

“What am I looking for?”

“At first the reports were coming from drug users, about possible laced drugs with suppressant effects. But a few days ago, we got a dealer in for questioning. The samples of the drug he had were clean, and so was he, but he also experienced the suppressant effects while he was doing hand offs.” 

“We think someone is aerosolizing quirk suppressants?”

“Unlikely, due to the drug formula and ingredients being so highly restricted. Most likely someone’s quirk, possibly one person’s quirk interacting strangely with the drugs. But be on the lookout for anything that could be causing it. Given the nature of the case, you’re the best person for it, but be careful. If someone is manufacturing something out there, we want to make sure to get all the information we need so don’t spook them.”

“I’ll keep you updated.”

[mightyflamethrower]

They wanted to know how many people would comply with a complete re-ordering of their lives based on no science at all, just random orders, some of which bordered on absurdity.

I have long said that Covid 19 was launched by design by a small number of people in the globalist predator class for one reason and one reason only — as a beta test for the coming technocratic new world order.

Now, we’ve got the World Economic Forum coming out and all but admitting that was exactly why the Covid-19 “pandemic” had to happen.

The WEF gleefully posted the following snippet to the “My Carbon” page of its website where they make a pitch for so-called smart cities, which is just another term for 15-minute cities.

The first of three “developments” that the WEF says must be in place before the world can evolve into its utopian vision of “smart and sustainable cities,” is compliance with restrictions on our freedom. It writes:

1. COVID-19 was the test of social responsibility – A huge number of unimaginable restrictions for public health were adopted by billions of citizens across the world. There were numerous examples globally of maintaining social distancing, wearing masks, mass vaccinations and acceptance of contact-tracing applications for public health, which demonstrated the core of individual social responsibility.

They were testing us. That’s what Covid was all about. They wanted to see how many of us would give up our individual freedom and individual sovereignty by complying with a “new normal” that consisted of restrictions bordering on the absurd.

Why, for instance was it “safe” to shop at Lowe’s or Home Depot but unsafe to shop at a small business or attend church? Why was it OK to go to strip clubs in Michigan but you couldn’t buy seeds for a garden?

What the WEF is implying with its above statement is that in order to be “sustainable,” people and societies will need to be compliant with a new more authoritarian global order. Don’t ask questions. Don’t resort to logic. Just obey.

Would we be obedient in the face of idiotic new laws and regulations, like wearing face diapers to stop what was said to be an aerosolized virus, and standing six feet apart in public, and submitting to a never-before-used, unlicensed mRNA gene-based injection?

They said it was good for you, so roll up your sleeve. Don’t ask questions. If you did, you could lose your job and be treated as a societal outcast. Many people lost friends or even close family members to this monstrous “test” of our willingness to unquestioningly do what we’re told.

Nearly five years later, arguably the most powerful nonprofit public-private partnership in the world, the WEF, admits it was all a test of our wills and celebrates the fact that most of us failed the test (or passed with flying colors depending how you look at it).

They wanted to find out how many of us would prove our servitude to the lawless, fascistic beast system by complying with “unimaginable restrictions,” many of which were created out of thin air with absolutely no scientific evidence to back them up as contributing anything to public health.

The U.S. government’s top health bureaucrat, Dr. Anthony Fauci, admitted recently that there was no science behind his decision to require Americans to socially distance six feet apart.

The beta test known as Covid-19 proved once again the validity of the The Milgram Experiment. This experiment was conducted in 1961-1962 by Yale University professor Stanley Milgram.

It showed that the overwhelming majority of Americans would obey a law or command that they knew was wrong if the order were to come from an official authority figure. An alarming 65 percent of Americans would reluctantly violate their own conscience and obey the order even if they knew it would result in the death of an innocent person.

Trending: Here’s the Real Reason Why Hunter Biden Shocked the Courtroom and Pleaded Guilty in Federal Tax Evasion Case

From Wikipedia:

Beginning on August 7, 1961, a series of social psychology experiments were conducted by Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram, who intended to measure the willingness of study participants to obey an authority figure who instructed them to perform acts conflicting with their personal conscience. Participants were led to believe that they were assisting an unrelated experiment, in which they had to administer electric shocks to a “learner.” These fake electric shocks gradually increased to levels that would have been fatal had they been real.

The experiments found, unexpectedly, that a very high proportion of subjects would fully obey the instructions, with every participant going up to 300 volts, and 65% going up to the full 450 volts. Milgram first described his research in a 1963 article in the Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology[1].

The Bad News is that we passed the test with flying colors.

Hi op! Just saw that you're doing nanotech in your PhD! I'm trying to go into the field too (tbh generally material science but I've researched nanotech so hopefully I'll get into that), so I was wondering if you could tell us what you work on! Feel free to ignore this if you're not comfortable sharing it, and please go full on geek mode if you need to! I'd love to hear all about your field!

- @studyblr-perhaps (using anon mode cause tumblr still doesn't allow asks through side blogs)

Hi! Thanks for the ask, I'm so happy you're interested in this field! I may not be the right person to ask tho as many professors don't actually see my research fitting the nanotech field 😬 Since my bachelor studies (in the field of toxicology) I've been working on computational modeling. First in granular material, then as I moved to do master's in nanotech I switched to smaller particles such as exosomes. So my reasearch is supposed to be "transport of nano-/micro-particles in microfluidic devices for biomedical application" with focus on simulations which are supported by experiments.

To give a better idea what I work on:

effect of particle size on mixing of monodisperse granular material (0.5 mm - 4 mm)

exosome separation from polydisperse suspension in a microfluidic device (100 - 1000 nm)

hygroscopic growth of aerosols in respiratory system, in cooperation with Phillip Morris, (400 - 800 nm)

stem cell cultivation in a stirred bioreactor (250 um)

If you'd like to hear more I'll be happy to expand any topic! If this is nothing you're personally not interested in, I have colleagues who work with nanofibers or surface modification so I can talk about that as well :)

Have a great day! 🤍

< L3 Hachiko: Alright. Nonlethal active memetics stockpile [Bagofwoe.omf.secure.zip], AKA the Styxie Stash, full inventory.

...With some of my own additions. :) >

1.) fuckbadperiodcramps.omf - visual vector, variable duration/intensity, nociceptive/aversive. The classic.

2.) Memory_Hole.omf - visual vector, variable duration. Short-term memory attack: prevents recall within a thirty second window of time exactly thirty seconds prior to present for duration of effect. Scary :(

3.) Vacuum_Exposure.sim - NI vector, variable duration, nociceptive/aversive. A force-executed simulacrum created from experiential capture. Namely, the experience of being Styx, in vacuum. This one sucks.

4.) Manual_Breathing.omf - visual/graphemic/auditory vector, variable duration, annoying. Ugh.

5.) Breathing_Manual.omf - visual vector, vaccine. Neuroplastic antigen designed to prevent effects of previously-listed memetic. Also provides broad-spectrum protection from attacks which interfere with respiration.

6.) Eyesore.omf - visual vector, variable duration/intensity, nociceptive/aversive, permanent damage potential. Induces sensation of itching, localized inside the retinas. Has tactical utility.

7.) Heartbreaker.omf - auditory vector, fixed playback duration, subjectivity interference. Audio induces emotions of intense heartache. Active memetic embedded within what internal documentation describes as an "upbeat, happy-go-lucky pop song."

8.) Peter_Pipers_Paracausal_Peppers.txt - graphemic vector, preset termination condition, extreme self-propagation risk, potential permanent damage. A tongue-twister poem, encoded with exotic graphemes, which compels spoken repetition until uttered correctly.

9.) the_JPEG_that_makes_you_puke.jpeg - self-explanatory. Open with caution.

10.) WASPZONE.omf - visual/NI vector, variable duration, subjectivity interference. A little ditty from yours truly. There's a wasp in the room with you. You know it's there, you're sure of it. Where's the wasp? Where's the wasp?

11.) Lallation.omf - auditory vector, variable duration, sensorium interference. Your tongue can't fit comfortably in your mouth. Makes speaking really, really hard.

12.) casket_desync.omf - anti-NHP, visual/NI vector, fixed duration, variable intensity, ontologistic disruption. No effect on exposed humans or other organic subjectivities. Induces a state of desynchronization between casket and blinkspace corpus, with...interesting results. Modern casket firmware is capable of identifying and excising this memetic agent within sixty seconds of exposure, or more quickly for milspec casket architecture. Potential tactical utility.

13.) forlorn.omf - olfactory vector, non-set duration, subjectivity interference. This one is odd, and requires a printer to synthesize. It's a chemical compound which, when aerosolized and smelled, induces feelings of intense longing, nostalgia, and homesickness. Effects can last from a few minutes following exposure, up to an hour.

14.) zax.omf - visual/auditory vector, variable duration, subjectivity interference. Whatever direction you happen to be facing when you're exposed, that's the only direction you can move for the duration. Tends to result in repeat exposure.

15.) styxclean.omf - visual vector, variable duration, subjectivity interference. You need to lick your own eyeball, and you won't stop trying. Good luck.

16.) hyperformal.omf - visual vector, fixed duration, neurolinguistic alteration. This one is simple. For one hour, you cannot use any contractions. This is applicable to both spoken and written language.

17.) burn.sim - Non-anthropocentric qualic vector, non-set duration, non-harmful ontologistic alteration. Ontologic bridge required—NHP USE ONLY, LETHAL HAZARD TO HUMAN PERSONNEL. An attempt at inducing an altered cognitive state in NHPs matching the effects of tetrahydrocannabinol consumption in humans. Effects are…temperamental.

18.) calm_down.omf - auditory vector, fixed playback duration, non-harmful subjectivity alteration. I, uh…so, this one feels like being comfy. Wrapped up in blankets, warm, drowsy. Active memetics are embedded within an audio track of a cat purring. It’s just designed to take your mind off things for a bit. Might help a human sleep. If anybody wants a copy, I’ll hand this one out on request.

Know locations of laboratory safety showers, eyewash stations, and fire extinguishers.

Know emergency exit routes.

Avoid skin and eye contact with chemicals.

Minimize all chemical exposures.

No horseplay.

Assume that all chemicals of unknown toxicity are highly toxic.

Post warning signs when unusual hazards, hazardous materials, hazardous equipment, or other special conditions are present.

Avoid distracting or startling persons working in the laboratory.

Use equipment only for its designated purpose.

Combine reagents in their appropriate order, such as adding acid to water.

Avoid adding solids to hot liquids.

Never leave containers of chemicals open.

All containers must have appropriate labels. Unlabeled chemicals should never be used.

Do not taste or intentionally sniff chemicals.

Never consume and/or store food or beverages or apply cosmetics in areas where hazardous chemicals are used or stored.

Do not use mouth suction for pipetting or starting a siphon.

Wash exposed areas of the skin prior to leaving the laboratory.

Long hair and loose clothing must be pulled back and secured from entanglement or potential capture.

No contact lenses should be worn around hazardous chemicals even when wearing safety glasses.

Laboratory safety glasses or goggles should be worn in any area where chemicals are used or stored. They should also be worn any time there is a chance of splashes or particulates to enter the eye.

Closed-toe shoes must be worn at all times in the laboratory. Perforated shoes or sandals are not appropriate.

Determine the potential hazards and appropriate safety precautions before beginning any work.

Procedures should be developed that minimize the formation and dispersion of aerosols.

If an unknown chemical is produced in the laboratory, the material should be considered hazardous.

Do not pour chemicals down drains, and do not utilize the sewer for chemical waste disposal.

Keep all sink traps (including cup sink traps and floor drains) filled with water by running water down the drain at least monthly.

Do not utilize fume hoods for evaporations and disposal of volatile solvents.

Perform work with hazardous chemicals in a properly working fume hood to reduce potential exposures.

Avoid working alone in a building. Do not work alone in a laboratory if the procedures being conducted are hazardous.

The permissable exposure limit and the threshold limit values must be observed in all areas.

Laboratory employees should have access to a chemical inventory list, applicable safety data sheets, departmental laboratory safety manual, and relevant standard operating procedures.

Access to laboratories and support areas such as stockrooms or specialized laboratories should be limited to approved personnel only.

All equipment should be regularly inspected for wear or deterioration.

Equipment should be maintained according to the manufacturer's requirements and records of certification, maintenance, or repairs should be maintained for the life of the equipment.

Designated and well-marked waste storage locations are necessary.

Laboratory coats should not be stored in offices or break rooms as this spreads contamination to other areas.

Instruments should be labeled to indicate whether gloves should be worn or not.

Avoid wearing jewelry in the lab as this can pose multiple safety hazards.

Ah, that was... much longer than I thought it would be. I hope this helped.
