Species Swap Event
On May 20th, Kaylee and Bro are going to go on a date. Normally, this wouldn't mean anything to anyone on the station except for them, but Kaylee just happens to be a very curious mechanic whose idea of the perfect date involves digging into the wiry heart of the station.
Long story short? The teleporters are about to start malfunctioning. While they'll still get your character from point A to point B, there will also be a solid chance that they will be one of the lucky people who experiences a random teleportation error. This error? It scrambles your character's DNA and they might just come out the other side with fins, hooves, or mandibles. A human is now a salarian. A troll is now a golden retriever. In short: species swap.
The effects will last until the 27th when Hypatia manages to replace the necessary parts to repair the damage done.
A quick run-down of rules are as follows:
-Species will be limited to current residents of the station unless otherwise approved.
-No splicing two or more species together please. We don't need any half-unicorn, half-dragon wolves running amok. Keep it simple. There's plenty enough to wig out over with a total gene swap.
-The swap will occur as a “random accident” upon your character teleporting. If you don't want to take part in the species swap shenanigans, it's safe to assume that your character simply wasn't effected.
To generate CR:
A log will go up on the start day of the event. Should you choose, the teleporter error may also have the unfortunate side-effect of routing your character to Garden Zone 1 instead of their desired location.
Don't fret, though, they won't be stuck and there will be more people behind them, coming through from other parts of the station on a similar detour. It's the perfect rendezvous. Have your character chat with them, gape at their new bodies, or find another teleporter and go on their merry way.
Or have a panic attack. Whichever.
Feel free to ask questions/leave comments in the labeled section below. Let's have fun, guys!

SPLICERS
So one of two things just happened to you.
First option: your DNA got scrambled up and you can now throw fire, bees, lightning, or fling shit with your brain (only nonliving, not living or dead).
This is Awesome with a capital A.
You're a destructive machine, enjoy it. No really, because after you do this a few times you're going to get tired, really, really tired...and you'll start jonesing for magical genetic heroine. This will be so severe it will seem like a good idea to jam a huge needle in your forearm just to get a fix. There are two ways to get EVE on Sacrosanct because supply is a little low. Either you start chain smoking and drinking, or you decide to take on one of the big sisters. If you kill her, that shit's all yours.
SISTERS - (Brothers, also okay, whatever Bioshock canon.)
You just got a magical seaslug jammed in your torso and it's pumping you up to your gills (you may have sprouted them a few seconds ago) with the aforementioned genetic heroine (this version is ADAM, still thirst quenching but not quite as refined as the blue version, EVE).
This gives you the ability to throw all the fire/bees/lightning/objects that aren't nailed down that you want. You also have a healing factor that's off the charts. (Not, 'Wow, I sure got over that papercut fast,' but rather, 'Wow, my arm grew back in fifteen seconds. Whole thing. Ain't that something.' *This taps on your crazy shit throwing ability so...don't use both at once or you'll empty out and probably drop dead at the next thing that looks at you funny.) Unfortunately, unless you're in a medical dive suit when someone lays into you, there's good odds that you'll regenerate wrong. Still alive just...that arm is pointing another direction. Sucks to be you. Oh, and all the splicers want to kill you and chug your blood. Sorry bro.
Also, for both Splicers and Sisters, there's the mutation thing. Uh yeah. Adam does that...sorta just...melts your face and limbs. Sorry.
The fire and bees are pretty cool though, right?
