Graytide

Graytide, or Greytide, is a poorly understood illness likely stemming from a yet-to-be-identified flaw in the PSO Cloning System. It manifests in said clones, colloquially known as Tiders, who are characterised by sporadic, often hyper-aggressive, behaviour. It is theorised that certain peoples' physiologies simply respond particularly poorly to cloning, and that this is the cause of the issue, but no conclusive study has ever been made on the topic and it remains an illusive Holy Grail for all researchers involved.

Tiders, for their part, seem almost aware of their flawed nature. This is hypothesised from their often suicidal tendencies, with many tiders dying in explosions caused by their own manic design. This has lead some to believe that Tiders are designed, with intent, to cause havoc on the station, to test its staff, or for purposes of social experimentation.

Obviously, as tiders constitute a flaw in the otherwise perfect cloning system of NanoTrasen, they are highly sought after for study by the Central Research Division. Their bodies (as they usually swiftly die, owing to their nature) are therefore to be preserved at all costs and be brought intact to Central Command if at all possible. If nothing else, then at least their brain is to be preserved for research.
