I made a thing.

(So… how many safety rules and rules of science did Alphys violate, in order?)



Undertale-science: Those posters still hang in the labs even though they are morbid.



as for how many rules Alphys broke, it depends on the regulations you follow and where you live, but here are some of the main no-nos:



1: Testing a prototype for the first time on a sentient being that is not in need of a life saving cure (Hapstablook becoming Mettaton)

2: Lying about the capabilities of an experiment (Alphys lied about making a robot with a soul)

3: Committing scientific fraud (same as above)

4: refusing to release materials and procedure of an experiment (same as above)

5: Misusing lab equipment and resources (anime collection in the true lab vcr, ice cream machine)

6: Knowingly spreading misinformation (Tells Undyne anime was real, claiming a species of grass-like seaweed was under scientific protection when it was just for making icecream)

7: Testing for the first time using a monster cadaver

8: injecting a wild species outside of quarantine with a hazardous untested substance

9: Not establishing a quarantine around contaminated organism.

10: Not being authorized to conduct said experiment (She never told Asgore, despite the flower being on his property, and him being her boss)

11: Not reporting a lab accident (Amalgamates)

12: Misconduct with a cadaver

13: Misconduct with a cadaver which is now a patient, technically misconduct with a patient (honestly this doesn’t happen that much in real life so its a grey area)

14: unlawful restraint, denying contact, holding a patient that can be released. (Amalgamates)

15: animal abuse (technically several cases rolled into one for Endogeny, who is kept in a dark cold lab with limited interaction and feeding to the point it attacks anyone that smells like food)

16: conspiracy to cover up a lab accident

17: causing grievous bodily harm to a patient

18: refusing to pay restitution for negligence

19: lying about credentials

20: misuse of Lab equipment to break the law (hacking all the puzzles back on, shutting down the elevator)

21: openly forgetting to do her job when a test subject is involved (negligence)

22: Bomb threats

23: causing a unknowing test subject to experience pain and severe trauma

24: putting the life of a test subject in danger

25: Ethics board would basically throw the book at her at this point for what she did to Frisk, as well as criminal charges

26: breaking the doctor’s oath to do no harm

27: causing the death of a patient/test subject by commiting scientific fraud (If Frisk kills Mettaton, believing Alphys when she says he is just a robot she made)

28: lab protocol violations (Aka, no eating food or drink in the lab, no wearing pajamas in the lab, no storing used lab coats with dresses, no letting random people walk into and take an elevator to the lab)

29: failure to protect confidential patient information (depends on how much Flowey had to do to bring the journal entries up on the screens)

30: Academic dishonesty (There is no way you could get a Doctorate in a scientific field without knowing the basic scientific method, failing to set up a control, improper result recording, no set measurements, multiple trials, plagiarism like not crediting the creator of the blueprints of the DT Machine she made with the blueprints, and despite being assigned to research and discover the nature of souls, the true nature of souls is still unknown according to the library books)



There’s probably more I could include. Scientists tend to be pretty unforgiving when it comes to peers making violations as it puts everyone’s work and evidence and credibility in danger, as well as making whichever field they are in looking bad or relaxed about rules. Things in medical fields and labs are really serious and it’s compounded that if something goes wrong, scientists probably know the most about all the horrible things that could have happened. No one wants to get blown up, infected, quarantined, or horribly burned because some idiot in the lab, or in an entirely different lab, was breaking protocol.
