==== Scientists ====

A cult, composed largely of people who eat cheese sandwiches and ignore the basics of personal hygiene.  Their current mission is to try to 'understand'((A practice they call '[[meta:concepts:science|science]].')) the nature of [[gameplay:concepts:improbability|improbability]]((As opposed to the improbability of nature, a study they gave up years ago, mostly because it interfered with their time surfing the [[meta:concepts:Internet|Internet]].)).

This cult is based in [[places:outpost:improbablecentral|Improbable Central]], mostly because none of the other [[places:outpost|cities]] or their populations would tolerate them.  Contestants are advised to avoid cult members at all costs, but are encouraged to steal their weapons prototypes—which are handy for causing all sorts of [[meta:concepts:chaos|chaos]].
