CSI Eridani: Detective content update

[silverplatedelta]

What Does This PR Do

This PR reworks the detective role by porting ss220's content, which itself was ported from bay station.

Reworking the Office

The Detective office will be divided into two sections.

• General office setting, for speaking with witnesses and administrative work.
• Forensics lab for performing analysis in a scientific manner on evidence.

Detective Gear

The gear issued to a detective should be augmented and changed to better reflect with the intended vision.

• Scanner has been replaced with specialist gear, which is outlined below.

Death to the scanner, or how I learned to love cassette futurism

I removed the forensic scanner (it will remain in code). Being able to scan any item for blood/prints/fibers/chems from anywhere on screen is a TAD strong, and makes detective work trivially easy. In the new detective office there will be a number of evidence collection kits (number of det lockers, more can be ordered from cargo). Each of these kits will contain: Swab kits, evidence bags, fingerprint powder, a fiber collection kit, and figerprint pads.

How does this change evidence collection?

Players can be swabbed in the cheek to get a DNA sample, the hand (or gloves) to check for gunshot residue (Identifies caliber of the weapon), or in general to swab for blood.

Blood on the ground can be swabbed.

Items and objects can generate finerprint cards with the fingerprinting kit, or the fiber kit to pull fibers off.

all evidence items are physical things that need transported back to the detective lab.

DNA swabs and blood samples are input to the DNA analyzer machine, and a report is automatically generated along with an automatic report number attached.

GS residue, prints, and fibers can be ran through the microscope to the same effect.

Detectives can then combine the evidence they collect with things like medical records to identify a perp.

The DNA analyzer can be empited with alt click, and used by clicking on it with an item, then clicking on the device again.

Why It's Good For The Game

Detective has suffered from a lack of content as a result of what the role was intended to be when it was converted to a more hands on security position. These proposed changed have been designed to increase RP and actual investigation.

I removed the forensic scanner (it will remain in code). Being able to scan any item for blood/prints/fibers/chems from anywhere on screen is a TAD strong.

Sounds like a Research / Cargo item, maybe tuned down to multi-use and/or remote swab.
Or Detective multi-tool in general with Ultraviolet Lights attached.

PR is feature complete, just need to get the mapping to behave.

will there be fingerprint records for each crewmate or will you have to go around and find them yourself?

Fingerprint records already exist inside the medical record console.
