	The scanner is your primary tool of the trade. It can interact with essentially any object in the game, from a syndicate minibomb to the ~~captain~~'s locker. To use it simply have the scanner in your hand, and right click the object you wish to scan, selecting the scan option from the verb menu. After a short action bar completes, the forensic scanner will pop up a list which includes the fingerprints and DNA's of everyone that interacted with the scanned object, as well as a separate list of all the glove fibers found on the object. Fingerprints and DNA's are entirely unique with each crewmember having a separate fingerprint and DNA code. Glove fibers are not, and all gloves of the same type will leave the same fibers. The scanner can store the most recently scanned information, or print out copies of the report with the handy button on the scanner allowing the detective to keep copies on file or in inventory while they scan something else.

	'''>''' If you suspect a syndie is in a certain department and the station is on blue alert, you can print all of them with the corresponding head's approval. Remember, if you run out of forensic pads you can make more at the secfab in security (ask the ~~warden~~). This is most useful if you get prints off a crime scene, and have some proof that a member of that department was nearby, or if the contraband found was located very close to a certain department (like right outside cargo). Don't get too crazy, you only have so many forensic pads before you have to start making more.
