You will notice that happy bacteria smell like beets." — PDA upon first creation-  A **Bioscanner** is a [Scanner](Scanner) upgraded by [Axum](Axum) technology via an upgrade at the [Modification Station](Modification Station).   ## Recipe  -The Bioscanner blueprint is unlocked by scanning the Bioscanner found in the [EVA Prep](EVA Prep) wreck.+The Bioscanner blueprint is unlocked by [scanning](Scanner) the Bioscanner found in the [EVA Prep](EVA Prep) wreck.   | Ingredient | Quantity | | --- | --- | | [Scanner](Scanner) | 1 | | [Enameled Glass](Enameled Glass) | 2 | | [Conduit Crystal](Conduit Crystal) | 3 |   **Crafted at:** [Modification Station](Modification Station)  +## Appearance+ +*(Section stub)*+  ## Usage   The Bioscanner acts as a regular [Scanner](Scanner), but features extended functionality by allowing to scan otherwise unscannable Axum technology such as the turbine at the [Power Plant](Karakorum Power Plant).   Unlike the regular [Scanner](Scanner), the Bioscanner also allows to unlock the use of new [Biomods](Biomods) at the [Biolab](Biolab) via the scanning of various [Lifeforms](Lifeforms). Upon bio-scanning a creature for the first time with the Bioscanner, its [Biomod](Biomods) will unlock and be available at the [Biolab](Biolab). Certain [Biomods](Biomods) require the bio scan of multiple [Lifeforms](Lifeforms). Some [Lifeforms](Lifeforms) do not count towards any [Biomod](Biomods) unlocks.   All scanned [Lifeforms](Lifeforms) will count towards a total bio scan tally; when enough bio scans are acquired, additional passive [Biomod](Biomods) slots will be unlocked. The total bio scan count can be viewed at a [Biolab](Biolab).   ### Bio Scans   Below is a list of scannable things that count as bio scans.   | # | Bio Scan | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | [Bloom

Databank Entry   **OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS** Scan Axum technology to generate repair or fabrication blueprints. Scan living targets to unlock new biomods.   **BACKGROUND**   The Protean ocean contains huge amounts of dissolved metal ions and viral DNA. Protean life has evolved to use one to identify the other.   The bioscanner hosts metal-eating bacteria which produce a robust beet odor and trillions of metallic marker proteins. In the wild, these markers bind to viral DNA, allowing the bacteria to incorporate or reject it. In the bioscanner, these markers are broadcast to the target by the scan field.   - In living targets, the markers bind to Protean DNA, allowing the scanner to conduct advanced analytic biochemistry and generate new biomods - In Axum targets, the markers bind to circuits, transistors, and bacterial fibers for functional analysis of Axum technology   The difficulty of analyzing alien biochemistries in digital simulation may have contributed to the extinction of the Architect civilization. Perhaps they lacked friendly beet-flavored bacteria.  +*Source: Unlock the [Bioscanner](Bioscanner) blueprint*+  ## Gallery   ![The Bioscanner scanning an object.](BioScanner Scanning.gif)
