'''Scientists''' are a [[Humans|civilian class]] that spawn in [[Light Containment Zone]]. Their goal is to get to the [[Surface Zone|Surface]] and escape.
__TOC__
=In Game=
At the start of a round, Scientists will spawn near a random room in Light Containment Zone. They will spawn with a [[Keycard|Scientist Keycard]] and a [[First Aid Kit]]. 

Scientists usually have the upper hand compared to [[Class-D Personnel|Class-Ds]] due to the Keycard that they spawn with, and their relationship to Foundation Military classes (mainly [[Facility Guard|Facility Guards]]). However, Class-Ds outnumber Scientists by a 2-1 ratio at the start of a round. 
Because of this, Scientists should typically either search for [[SCP-914]], or a [[Weapons|Weapon]] to defend themselves.

A Scientist's goal is to get to the [[Surface Zone|Surface]], and escape, which will respawn them as a [[Mobile Task Force|MTF Specialist]]. This will also give the MTF one [[Respawn Tickets|Respawn Ticket]], allowing for one more MTF to spawn during that round. 
A Scientist escaping while disarmed will respawn as a [[Chaos Insurgent|Chaos Conscript]]. This also gives the Chaos two Respawn Tickets, giving them three more teammates in that round per disarmed Scientist that escapes (This can be disabled by changing the server setting cuffed_escapee_change_team to false).

Scientists win alongside Foundation forces with a "Foundation Victory" if the amount of Scientist escapes is higher than the amount of D-Class escapes, and all other classes are dead.
