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!

Time Travel Capsule (aka TARDIS)
A quick run-down for those unfamiliar: A Time Travel Capsule, or TTC, is a fourth-dimensional organic/mechanical being that exists in all of time and space simultaneously. They can take on any form with their chameleon circuit (unless you're the Doctor's) in order to blend in with whatever planet/time period/etc they're in. You're in Greece? Become a column! The Carnegie Music Hall? Grand Piano! A forest? Hello trees.
The interior is bigger than the exterior because of dimensional transcendence. Basically, the interior is a separate pocket dimension connected to the exterior. You can literally have anything you've ever wanted in the interior. (For example, the TARDIS has a Library, garden, swimming pool, forest, mountain range, Cloister Room, Zero Room, scullery, squash courts, bedrooms, wardrobe, infirmary/sick bay, engine rooms, lots and lots of corridors and at least two console rooms, and those are the ones I can think of off-hand.)
With all this great cosmic power! Comes the fact you're now a spaceship. You can move a bit by flying/jumping to other locations, but you can't travel through time on the station, you can't do interstellar travel, you can't change the atmosphere (baw) and you sort of need a pilot to do all the really cool stuff anyway. Sorry. Unless you use holograms/stuff your consciousness into a robot, you can't interact with people, either.
But hey, at least you can change shape?
