As the chef you have access to everything you need to perform wholesale human meat processing. Access to a morgue that will be stocked with bodies (assuming Medbay is doing their job), and an instant meat-processing machine that will reduce your former coworkers to tasty, conveniently sized chunks. It seems like a no brainer to process every corpse you can find into delicious people-burgers, right?
Well, this IS technically a roleplaying game, so you should consider that aspect before you chow down on Dave from accounting.
Unless you are roleplaying as Hannibal Lecter reincarnated as a space chef, chances are your character's attitude towards consuming human flesh is not entirely blase (as in, he is not entirely cool with it). However, this IS the future, and you are on a space station, so wasting biomass is never a good idea. When in doubt, consider the following points:
Have they been cloned? If this is the body of someone who has already been successfully cloned and is now walking around the station while their corpse sits on ice, you can process the stiff into food with a clearer conscience. On the other hand, if the body hasn't even been checked for mental interface compatibility, you really shouldn't be gibbing them without giving them a second chance at life. Bodies that have been checked and returned as MIF are sort of a middle ground---while in theory their souls could still return to their flesh at a later date, unless you've got a very vigilant genetecist they probably won't be cloned either way.
You a traitor, bro? Gibbing a body and making tasty food out of it is a great way for a subversive chef operative to hide the evidence of his crimes, and in this case your personal feelings toward the ethicality of consuming human flesh aren't as relevant as they would be otherwise. No one said YOU have to eat your victim-burgers, did they?
Is there a food shortage? If there's plenty of monkey meat to go around, you should probably hold off on processing your coworkers mortal remains. Make the lazy ass chaplain do his job for once and let HIM handle those MIFs.
What does the Captain think? Of course if you just aren't sure how people will react to being served human flesh, it's always best to cover your ass, in which case you should ask for the Captain's approval before processing any dead bodies. Then if anyone flips a shit over their Cindy Lou burger, you can blame him for it.
If you're REALLY roleplaying hardcore, and while your character doesn't want to eat their dead friends they also just can't bear the thought of wasting valuable biomass by incinerating it or spacing it, there is another, less direct route. Gib the body, but instead of frying up the resultant meat chunks, use the blender to reduce them to nutriment, that calorie-rich grey paste that every spacer is so familiar with. Hand this over to the botanist, who can use it as fertilizer. Now instead of your dead friends being made into hamburgers, their mortal remains are feeding and nurturing beautiful new life: delicious fruits and vegetables for everyone to enjoy guilt-free.
I hope someone finds this useful. Feel free to post comments of your own.
