BLUE-GREEN ALGAE PHOTOSYNTHESIS
The character’s DNA has been spliced with blue-green algae and they can sustain themselves for long periods of time on sunshine and water. A character with this splice only needs an 8oz serving of water each day and to eat a single day’s rations once a week. This retrovirus is essential on space stations, moons, and worlds where food is scarce but sunlight is plentiful.
Recipients of this gene-splice require at least one hour of solar exposure per day to gain its benefit. Space stations, and starships will often have designated “observation” decks for their employees to sun themselves, but a tanning bed or a UV light will work in a pinch.
