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!

DRAGONNNN
Some stuff about dragons from Conrit's world, now that you're joining them:
1. You can breathe fire! How about that.
2. Your scales come in six interesting shades: Black, green, gold, red, blue, or brown. Dragons vary in size based on their scale colors. From largest to smallest: Brown, red, blue, black, green, gold.
3. Your blood now has butane in it. It's highly flammable. Try not to bleed everywhere and then sneeze on it, bad things will happen.
4. Your diet is now charcoal. Eat anything unburnt and your furnace is going to fire up to burn it down and you're going to wind up burping up gross-tasting smoke for a while. Sushi and ice cream will probably make you puke. Sorry.
5. You can flyyyyyy! FUCK YEAH BIG OL' DRAGON WINGS.
6. You can still talk like normal, though some new growls and rumbles have been added to your normal soundboard. Magic and skills are possible so long as you don't need thumbs for them. If you do, well, I hope you know transformation magic.
7. You want shiny things. All the shiny things. The urge to collect them and then sit on them will be there, but I'm sure you can fight it off. Right? Right. (in b4 all the robots get hoarded and sat on)
8. Young, pretty girls/women are now walking, talking bacon cheeseburgers. Resist the urge to nom them. Or don't. Your call.

Re: DRAGONNNN
1. How big are we talking (specifically for green)?
2. Does he show up as human because of magic? Is magic a species-related skill or unrelated?
Re: DRAGONNNN
2. Human transformation magic is a skill that needs to be learned-- Conrit and his brother learned from an incubus in their world. So unless he has any prior knowledge about using magic to change forms, he'd probably be stuck as a big smelly lizard.
