Morgue Prevents decomposition

[Streaky Haddock]

Being in the Morgue, or at least inside the Morgue Trays should stop body decomposition into a skeleton.

Not a bad idea, although if you're stuffed into the morgue it's likely you won't be put back into the round in any way, at least in your current body.

not if there's a MORTICIAN

EDIT: I'm a dumbass and forgot that I read about this on a topic about a week ago.

oh, spaceman, spaceman, spaceman.

 

Mortician is a recently added Doctor Alt title. Their job is the handling of autopsies (since the detective never bothers) and the handling of corpses (because they'll just pile up and up and up).

 

Now that autopsies are being regularly performed, and there's someone who can be reliably depended upon to regularly check the morgue, vampires and changelings are having a harder time; and if your morgue light goes green, you're more likely to be noticed.

Speaking of which, can we fix the title? The title for a doctor who performs autopsies should be "medical examiner" or "pathologist".

Eh, thats really not an issue.

Right now I don't really see an easy way of implementing this without changing the way decay works. Basically, every two ticks (few seconds) it checks for the time of the world, and then subtracts the time of death from that, which then determines the decay level of the corpse. There's no real way of overriding that without changing changing the time of death while they're in the morgue, which would mean that wouldn't be correct anymore.

Damn.
