Unscrupulousrealtor: reproductive extracts make slimes, not more extracts

Xenobiology is the breeding and harvesting of slimes and their extracts for scientific purposes. This all takes place in the xenobiology lab where you spawn, and is <strike>arguably</strike> more dangerous than making bombs if you don't know what you are doing. Which is a good reason to read this!
== Home on the Range ==
[[File:xenobiology2.png|400px|thumb|Xenobiology on Boxstation]]
As a Xenobiologist, you’re not going to get out that much until some late game slimes. And until you get those, you won't be bothered much either, [[Traitor#Assassination|at]] [[Cult|least]] [[Xenomorph|in]] [[Abductor|theory.]]

So let's get familiar with your new home. As an example, this is what the xenobio lab looks like on Boxstation.

The workplace in the center includes a couple of closets with bio-hazard suits, a monkey recycling machine, a slime processor, and an All-In-One Grinder with several sheets of plasma. Also included is a smartfridge modified to hold slime extracts within easy arm reach from the slime processor. There is also a wrench, which can unanchor all the machinery, so you can reorganize your workspace. To the western end is a disposal unit that leads to space and right of this is the bread and butter of your job: The Slime Console, which will be covered later.

To the south is the slime containment area with six pens. Two (or three on some maps) of these pens start with a baby [[#Grey Slime|grey slime]].

To the north is a special containment pen that's larger and more secure than the rest. This is ideal for containing and experimenting on [[Alien|other alien lifeforms]] should the station manage to capture/produce one. Usually though, it's just for storing extra slimes.
===Using the slime console===
The Slime Console is a semi-new addition to the Xenobiology scene that makes your job roughly a hundred million times easier. With it you can move slimes, kill them, feed them, and process dead monkeys with mere clicks of a button!
It's strongly advised to grab the wrench next to the shield projectors and move the fridge and slime processor within close range of the console you're using to cut out a lot of unnecessary movement.
===Safety Advice===
Before you start breeding slimes, you may want a fire extinguisher in your backpack. You'll rarely meet a ravenous, hungry slime if you're using the console, but it still happens and having an extinguisher could very well be the difference between a dead slime and a dead ''you''.

If you aren't, then this goes doubly so as you'll be near a lot of slimes, usually before you cull their numbers, and while they're normally docile towards you whom are effectively their ''God'', they occasionally grow resentful for their species' exploitation and try to kill you for no particular reason. In that case, kill the blasphemers with a clear conscience, DEUS VULT!

Now that monkeys have regained some sentience, they'll attack you if you try to manhandle them. It's '''strongly advised''' to just use the console to avoid any contact, but otherwise keep an extinguisher to bash riled up monkeys, or have a buddy to help you out if you get assaulted.

Don't be the guy who tries to harmbaton a slime outbreak.<br>
== Breeding slimes ==
=== Feeding ===
Insert the monkey cubes from the boxes into the console. The console can now teleport monkeys directly inside the slime pens! Slimes need one monkey to become an adult and another to split.
* You can send both monkeys at once into a baby slime's pen, so you don't have to think about it until they split.
* Do NOT enter the pen and bash the monkey, the only thing that will happen is the slime will get less food.
Once they're fed enough, after a while the adult slime will split into 4 baby slimes.
=== Culling ===
Time to kill your darlings.

Decide which baby slimes you don't want to keep and proceed to warp them up with the console. It can hold up to 5 slimes at a time.
Teleport them onto the kill pen; it's the one with the blue floor, connected to a freezer. The sharp cold will kill the slimes quickly: when they stop moving, they're dead and you can pick them up for the next step.
=== Grinding ===
Collect the dead slimes from the freezer room, and drop them within one tile of the slime grinder. It will automatically suck in the slimes; when it's done, activate it to grind them. It will, after a while, drop a slime core of the respective color for each slime grinded.
* Upgrading the grinder will make it go faster and give more cores per slime.
* [[File:Bio_bag.png]] A Bio Bag from any biohazard locker can mass-collect slime cores and easily drop them into the fridge for easy access.
=== Resource Management ===
==== Monkey Cubes ====
Monkey cubes are the basic material that you'll need to do xenobiology; without those all you can do is <s>sacrifice intruders</s> ask for another department's monkeys. How do you gain more monkey cubes?
* You start with two monkey cube boxes containing 5 each, for a total of 10.
* The first method you'll use to get more cubes is the [[#Grey Slime|Grey Slime]] blood reaction. It will spawn three monkey cubes per extract.
** Grab a dead monkey from a pen, after a slime has finished eating it.
** Draw blood from the dead monkey with a syringe. Inject it into a beaker.
** Use a dropper set to 1u to inject the blood into the grey extracts. More than that is a waste.
* After the first few splits, you should aim to create and use either a [[Guide_to_xenobiology#Grey_Crossbreeding|reproductive grey]] or an [[#Metal_Crossbreeding|industrial grey]] [[#Crossbreeding|crossbreed]].
* Upgrades are important, make sure to get them early.
** With an unupgraded slime grinder a baby [[#Grey Slime|grey slime]] will give 3 cubes.
** Upgrading a slime grinder to T3 parts, which can be achieved after researching high-efficiency parts, will raise that amount to 9.
* [[File:Bio_bag.png]] Bio bags can store monkey cubes and load the console with them in two simple clicks, so don't waste time putting them in one by one.
* Recycling a monkey with the console yields 0.2 monkey cubes without upgrades.
** If you upgrade the Monkey Recycler, you will get up to 0.8 cubes per monkey with both the recycler and the consoles.
==== Plasma ====
Plasma is the most common chemical required to react with slime extracts. You start with 2-4 bars depending on the map, which you can grind for 20 liquid form plasma each (usually simply called "plasma").
* You require a dropper or syringe to inject chems into extracts. A dropper can be activated in hand to toggle it to '''1u'''.
* Most reactions only require 1u of plasma for full effect.
* You can produce new plasma yourself with either [[#Metal Slime|metal]] or [[#Dark Purple Slime|dark purple slimes]]. These will create metal respectively plasteel and plasma bars.
** Plasteel bars give 20 iron and 20 plasma each when ground.
** Pure plasma gives 20 plasma per bar.
** Making these reactions requires some plasma to start with, so be careful not to run out before making more bars.
* In case you run out, you can either get more from mining, the [[Testing Lab]] or the [[Experimental Lab]] if the extra plasma bar is still there, or you can ask [[Chemistry]] or [[Engineering]] to give you theirs.
== Friendship and Slimes ==
If you've been following the guide and diligently breeding and culling the slimes, you may have noticed that while the slimes very quickly attack and eat the monkeys you offer them, they have little to no interest in eating you. This is because you've become their "friend", a status that can be earned by simply being the one sending them monkeys. To check if slimes are friendly, say "Hello slimes"; all the slimes that consider you their friend will say hello.
=== Commanding Slimes ===
There are some commands you can issue as a slime's friend. Keep in mind however, these commands are exceedingly finicky, and are rarely used for a reason. Slimes will not attack other slimes or friends. <br> Each command requires you to include the word "slimes" somewhere in the sentence. List of commands:
* Hello/hi slimes: Makes the slimes greet you if you are their friend.
* Follow slimes: Asks the slimes follow you.
* Stay slimes: Asks the slimes to stay where they are for a while.
* Stop slimes: Asks the slimes stop chasing if chasing a target, stop feeding if feeding, or stop following you if they're following. If they don't like you enough, asking them to stop feeding or chasing can upset them and make them like you less. If this happens they'll say "Grrr...".
* Attack (''exact target name'') slimes: Asks the slimes to chase the target to feed on it. They'll be faster while chasing. Asking them to attack a friend of theirs can upset them.

=== Defending against slimes ===
So either by you not feeding the slime enough, the slime being a dick, or [[Guide_to_xenobiology#Tier_3|reas]][[Guide_to_xenobiology#So_You.27re_a_Traitor|ons]], a slime has tried to kill you. If the slime is a baby, this is annoying. If the slime is an adult, you may die if you don't know what you're doing.

Slimes have two attacks: A glomp that does brute damage with adults dealing more and a chance to stun, and the far more dangerous 'feeding' attack which deals cellular damage and empowers the slime, a rare and very difficult to heal type of damage. If a slime starts feeding on you, wrestle it off with disarm intent and spray it down with an extinguisher (You DID get an extinguisher, right?) until it dies. After that, hobble off to medbay for healing.

While this is generally more a tip for you when NOT playing Xenobiologist, in the event of a very rare slime outbreak, perhaps of sentient slimes, get an extinguisher and hide. A horde of angry slimes can multiply fast, and while slimes are normally unintelligent and docile, outbreaks of them are nearly always done on purpose by someone wanting to destroy the station, and are thus paired with usage of red extracts enraging slimes and/or [[#Light Pink Slime|light pink]] or [[#Black Slime|black]] extracts making very deadly intelligent slimes. Pray that the AI is able to stop them, and that the xenobiologist who released the slimes doesn't follow up with [[Guide_to_xenobiology#So_You.27re_a_Traitor|something worse]].
==Slime Mutations==
There are <strike>several</strike> a fuckload of different flavors of slime. You begin with two or three [[#Grey Slime|grey slimes]] but you can breed them to catch all the <strike>pokèmon!</strike> slimes! Each kind of slime has its own powers from its extract.

Every time a slime splits by being fed enough, it has a chance to mutate based on its individual mutation chance, a stat discovered by taking a slime scanner from the fridge and using it on the slime. It usually varies between 25% and 45%, but sometimes you will encounter slimes whose mutation chance is more like 15% to 20%. Choose carefully which slimes to keep! If you're breeding [[#Grey Slime|greys]] for monkeys, you'll want a lower chance of mutations, and if you want to get [[#Adamantine_Slime|adamantines]], you might want to increase it!

'''NOTE:''' You can increase a slime's chance of mutation by injecting it with slime mutation potions from [[#Red Slime|red slimes]] and decrease it with slime stability potions from [[#Blue Slime|blue slimes]].

This flowchart shows the results of each slime's mutations when splitting, with options labeled "2x" having twice the chance of occurring.

[[File:Slime_geneology2.png]]
== Formulas ==
Most reactions only require one unit of reagent for full effect. Dropper is your friend. There are exceptions though. Some reactions will create a liquid reagent inside the extract when injected once, and then deplete that extract. In those cases, using a higher volume syringe to inject will result in more units per extract. You must then draw from the core to get the resulting chem. Examples: [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mutation_Toxins|The mutation toxins]] from [[#Green_Slime|green extracts]]. <br><br>You can also dilute your plasma by, for example, filling a beaker with 40u of water and 10u of plasma; a syringe will collect exactly one unit of plasma this way.

'''[[Guide_to_races#Luminescents|Luminescent]] Effects'''
* Minor: Changes the user's color randomly.
* Major: Spawns a random slime core.
==Crossbreeding==
Slimes can be crossbred with other slimes! In order to crossbreed a slime, feed an adult slime 10 of any color extract. If you give one extract to an adult slime, you can then use your Bio Bag [[File:Bio_bag.png]] to feed the last 9. This will cause the slime to boil away into nothing more than a single, extremely powerful extract, with a unique effect depending on the color you fed it.
For example, feeding 10 [[#Grey Slime|grey]] extracts to a [[#Yellow Slime|yellow slime]] will result in a [[#Grey_Crossbreeding|reproductive]] yellow extract. '''The color of the 10 extracts you feed is the dominant color'''.

== So You're a Traitor ==
What you can get here that can't be gotten easier elsewhere is an EMP and <strike>random hostile animals which include a few very deadly ones</strike> CARPS SPACE BEARS ALIUMS SPIDERS HIVEBOTS PINE TREES OH GOD IT'S HORRIFYING. Releasing the slimes is somewhat viable, but you will likely get caught doing so, and baby slimes are rather tame (Unless you have [[#Red Slime|Red Slime]] Essence. Then it's a party.)

On the plus side, you do have a disposal chute that goes directly to space. Pretty handy for disposing of evidence, or people.

Also remember the havoc with [[grenade]]s and bombs you can cause! If you can get access to [[Guide_to_chemistry|chemistry]] as well you can make some interesting grenades. [[Guide_to_chemistry#Advanced_mutation_toxin|Advanced mutation toxin]] with sugar in one beaker, phosphorus and potassium in the other. Set a timer in the [[Medbay]] and drop it and listen to all the people turning into [[Slime]]s. This is when you laugh to yourself and realize it backfires when all the slimes attack you.

A full guide to ruining someone's day with slimes:
* [[#Red Slime|Red]] - Makes all slimes within sight range hyper aggressive. Also makes speed potions which can make it easier to evade guns while firing off other slime cores while still keeping high armor values or being able to go in space freely.
* [[#Green Slime|Green]] - Produces 1 unit of a chemical that turns people into different races including slime persons. Use it on someone and convince the AI that they're a danger to humanity. Needs at least 5 units for it to work in a smoke grenade.
* [[#Black Slime|Black]] - Turns people into actual slimes, no fort save. Again, 5 units in a smoke grenade will make for a very interesting shuttle flight.
* [[#Orange Slime|Orange]] - Ignites a large fire.
* [[#Yellow Slime|Yellow]] - Huge EMP.
* [[#Silver Slime|Silver]] - Only way to get real roburgers (with [[Guide_to_chemistry#Nanomachines|nanomachines]]) and motherfucking GATFRUIT.
* [[#Gold Slime|Gold]] - We all know what this does.
* [[#Sepia Slime|Sepia]] - Stops time in a small radius, allowing you to wreak many kinds of havoc.
* [[#Oil Slime|Oil]] - Explosion.
* [[#Adamantine Slime|Adamantine]] - Makes golems that can be converted to the cult/soul shard/revved. They have to follow orders given to them by their creator so feel free to make them suicide bomb with [[#Gold Slime|gold slime]] cores.
* [[#Light Pink Slime|Light pink]] - Enables you to make sentient beings, including anything a gold slime extract can produce. Magicarps included.
Don't forget about some of the wonderful slime crossbreeds for beating the piss out of fellow crewmen!
* [[#Orange Crossbreeding|Burning]] rainbow makes a rainbow knife that does random types of damage, making it a lot harder to heal from!
* The [[#Purple Crossbreeding|regenerative extracts]] can provide an important health boost in the middle of a fight, and Stabilized rainbow can auto-apply them in danger!
* Looking to go out with a bang, literally? Take a [[#Blue Crossbreeding|stabilized]] oil with you, hug your target, and kill yourself!

}}
A changeling is a highly intelligent alien predator that is capable of altering their shape to flawlessly resemble a human. They are typically deployed in simple social groupings, although they maintain total autonomy and act individually, so long as they do not have a team objective. As a result of their expertise in infiltration, the Syndicate often hires Changelings to steal high-risk items from Nanotrasen. The Changeling hunts with its ability to synthesize deadly chemicals internally, adopt the form of it's past victims, and even directly alter its form to be more suited to the task at hand.
==The Thing From Spaaaaaaaace!==
A changeling has boarded the station! It has had time to "familiarize" itself with the ins and outs of its primary victim's identity, ready to take anything it desires -- be it your equipment, your faces, or your lives!

Even if a changeling has not attacked any other crew members, it is highly likely it has attacked or killed others in its infiltration.
==Ok, now what do?==
Now, you may notice the clusterfuck of HUD icons on the top of your screen. These are your abilities. Hover over the icons to see their names.

First:
# Learn about your available abilities.
# Use them to steal DNA from people to help you accomplish your objectives.

===[[File:choke.png]] DNA Extraction===
The goal of many changelings is to acquire 5-7 DNA strains, for some unknown and alien reason. To do this, it must take ANY human, living or dead (even thrown away bodies from cloning), and acquire their DNA.

DNA can be acquired in two ways:
* [[File:Sting_extract.png]] The '''DNA Extraction Sting''', which costs 25 chemicals, is instant and does not give any alert to the target. You can get as many DNA samples as you want this way, but you can only transform into the last 7 of them.
* [[File:Ling_absorb_hud.png]] '''[[#Absorbing|Absorbing]]''' the victim, which results in a body drained from blood which is harder to [[Guide_to_genetics#Hark!_A Husk!|clone]] (it's a [[Terminology#Husk|husk]] [[File:Husk.png]]). Does not bypass the limit of 7 stored disguises.
====[[File:Ling_absorb_hud.png]] Absorbing====
Acquiring DNA via absorbing requires you to be [[Guide_to_combat#Strangling|strangling]] your victim and clicking the absorb ability. You then have to go through three long progress bars as you stab and drain the victim with a proboscis.
<br>
* Absorbing a victim will slightly replenish your chemical storage, give you the target's DNA and let you readapt (refund) your abilites. You can only have one unused "readapt" stored at a time.
* Absorbing another changeling gives you all of its chemical storage and all its stored DNA genomes.
* Absorbing victims who have been [[Guide_to_genetics#Hark!_A Husk!|husked]] via burns or space will not add to your total genome count.
* Absorbed victims require an upgraded [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|cloner]] to be [[Guide_to_genetics#Hark!_A Husk!|cloned]]. They can still be turned into [[Cyborg|cyborgs]] because the brain is fine.
===Transforming===
The changeling can shift its appearance, making them look and sound exactly like a victim of which they have absorbed.
This can be massive compromise in security, especially if command staff are absorbed and the changeling is able to imitate them.

Changelings can also, via their lesser form ability, transform into monkeys and do monkey things.

Transforming is subtle and does not give a message in chat, though an observant crewmember may notice that you're suddenly someone else entirely.
===[[File:Ling_stasis_hud.png]] Regeneration===
Also known as [[#Reviving_Stasis|Reviving Stasis]], changelings have the ability to 'kill' themselves, and appear dead for two minutes. After this period is over, the changeling can revive at will [[File:Ling_stasis_revive_hud.png]], fully healed of all injuries and illnesses. Both entering stasis and leaving it cost 10 chemicals, so make sure you have at least 20 before you are slain and must activate it.

This makes them nigh-unkillable, as they can fully regenerate themselves <b>even from death</b> if their bodies are intact and they have enough chemicals. Spaced changelings may also be able to make it back on station given enough time. The best way to permanently deal with a changeling is to gib it or cremate it in the chapel.
===Objective===
Changelings may have the following objectives:
:'''1. Absorb 5-7 DNA stands:''' You just need to get DNA, easiest way is through your DNA extraction sting [[File:Sting_extract.png]].

:'''1a. Extract more compatible genomes than any other Changeling.:''' Pretty self-explanatory, you can either spam DNA extract sting [[File:Sting_extract.png]] or kill the other poor sap who gets this objective.

:'''2. Assassinate/Maroon a person:''' Kill some unlucky crewmember. This can be fulfilled via normal means or through some of your various abilities.

:'''3. Absorb another Changeling:''' You have to kill and then absorb [[File:Ling_absorb_hud.png]] another changeling.

:'''4. Steal an object:''' Steal a special or rare object from the station, you will be informed of what to steal.

:'''5a. Escape alive:''' All changelings get an escape objective, to fulfill, be on the escape shuttle or a pod when they land at Central Command.

:'''5b. Escape with identity:''' In addition to escaping alive, the changeling must have transformed to the target person and wear an ID card with the target's name on it to succeed.
==Changeling Abilities==
The changeling possesses other dangerous abilities including precooked stinger abilities, which it can fire out of a crafted dart at a moments notice! Their stored chemicals regenerate quickly at a rough set rate of half a chemical per second.

Changelings start with 10 evolution points and can onlt get more by absorbing another changeling. The cost of abilities (if applicable) are listed in parentheses after their entry. By husking a lifeform, the changeling gains the ability to reset their learned abilities and choose new ones, adapting to situations as they arise. This will reset their evolution points back to the starting 10.

Changelings can store up to 7 DNA strands, acquiring them either by absorbing or DNA stinging people; if they acquire more, the oldest will be overwritten (but will still count for objectives).

Note that changelings are immune to each others' stings and are able to notice they've been stung. If you try to sting someone and they don't react, they might be one too!
===Starting Set===
----
====[[File:Ling_stasis_hud.png]] Reviving Stasis [[File:Ling_stasis_revive_hud.png]]====
A free evolution. The changeling can fake its death and enter a stasis for a small cost. Some time after entering stasis, the stasis icon [[File:Ling_stasis_hud.png]] will change to this: [[File:Ling_stasis_revive_hud.png]]. Clicking that icon will then instantly resurrect you and heal all wounds and status effects. <u>Can be used while dead.</u> Renders the changeling very hard to kill, but if its corpse is gibbed or incinerated it won't be able to revive. The revival is manually activated so you can wait for a good opportunity.

Uses 15 chemicals.
====[[File:Ling_transform_hud.png]] Transform====
A free evolution. The changeling can transform into any of the DNAs they have stored, allowing them to become nearly anyone. It will also mimic their clothing and IDs, if you're not already wearing one in those slots. These fake items will be non-functional but can be deleted by clicking them or by using the Drop Flesh Disguise option from the transformation menu.
Uses 5 chemicals.
====[[File:Sting_extract.png]] Extract DNA Sting====
A free evolution. The changeling can sting a target to extract their genetic information. They can then use the DNA like they just absorbed it. Helps the changeling reach their genome objective.

Uses 25 chemicals.
====[[File:Ling_absorb_hud.png]] Absorb DNA====
A free evolution. Another way to acquire DNA: the changeling fully drains a body's fluids, husking it in the process and making it uncloneable and unidentifiable. In addition to giving the changeling the DNA, it will also give it a few samples of the victim's memories (including any [[Syndicate_Items#How_to_Get_These_Items|uplink codes]] and objectives), and it will allow the changeling to reset their abilities. If you absorb another changeling, your maximum and current chemical storage will increase, and you will gain 5 extra evolution points to spend.
====[[File:Ling_last_resort_hud.png]] Last Resort====
This is a free evolution and costs 20 chemicals to use. For when you are well and truly fucked. Creates a small explosion, gibs your current body, and spawns a headcrab; a creature that can infect a corpse to plant a hidden changeling egg. The changeling egg grows into a monkey changeling after ~180 seconds.<br>
'''If you're killed while in this form and you haven't infected any corpse, you won't be able to revive!''
===Abilities Available via Evolution Menu===
----
====[[File:Ling_augmented_eyesight_hud.png]] Augmented Eyesight====
The changeling evolves additional features in their eyes, giving them a toggleable night-vision and thermal-vision mode. The changeling will become more vulnerable to flash-based devices while this ability is active. While it's inactive, it will instead protect you from flashes and bright lights, such as welders. This cannot be detected by normal means.

Costs 2 evolution points and uses no chemicals.
====[[File:Ling_biodegrade_hud.png]] Biodegrade====
Dissolves restraints or other objects preventing free movement. This is obvious to nearby people, and can destroy standard restraints and closets.

Costs 2 evolution points and uses 30 chemicals.
====[[File:Ling_chameleon_skin_hud.png]] Chameleon Skin====
Our skin pigmentation rapidly changes to suit our current environment. Allows us to become invisible after a few seconds of standing still. Can be toggled on and off.

Costs 2 evolution points and uses 25 chemicals.
====[[File:Ling_digital_camo_hud.png]] Digital Camouflage====
Makes the changeling invisible to the AI, and prevents the AI from tracking the changeling's location while active, but makes when examined by others you will be "moving your body in an unnatural and blatantly inhuman manner".

Costs 1 evolution point and uses no chemicals.
====[[File:Ling_adrenaline_hud.png]] Adrenaline Sacs====
Allows to the changeling to make use of additional adrenaline to instantly recover from all forms of [[Status_Effects#Disables|stuns]] and other inhibiting [[Status_Effects|status effects]]. This also injects 10u [[Guide_to_chemistry#Changeling_Adrenaline|Changeling Adrenaline]] and 2u [[Guide_to_chemistry#Changeling_Haste|Changeling Haste]], which together gives about 4 seconds of extreme speed and about 50 seconds of slight reduction of further stuns. These chems will deal 4 toxin damage per use and can deal further toxin damage if overdosed by using the ability more than 3 times in quick succession. High chemical cost.

Costs 2 evolution points and uses 30 chemicals.
====[[File:Ling_fleshmend_hud.png]] Fleshmend====
The changeling will rapidly heal brute and oxygen damage, as well as burn at a slower rate over 10 seconds. Repeated use while the effect is added will restart the regeneration timer, but the user will still heal at the same rate. Cannot be used while burning, but usable while unconscious.

Costs 2 evolution points and uses no chemicals but stops chemical generation.
====[[File:Ling_hivemind_link_hud.png]] Hivemind Link====
Allows you to connect to other changelings trough a hidden chat only accessible to those who have also selected this evolution. Changelings without this evolution will be alerted with a minor notification that others are using the evolution.

Costs 1 evolution points and uses no chemicals.
====[[File:Ling_regenerate_hud.png]] Regenerate====
The changeling instantly regenerates lost limbs and organs. If it is regenerating limbs, it will make a loud and obvious sound.

Costs 1 evolution point and uses 10 chemicals
====[[File:Ling_lesser_form_hud.png]] Lesser Form [[File:Ling_human_form_hud.png]]====
The changeling transforms into a monkey after a brief period of time. Causes all equipment to be dropped on the floor. It can then return to human form by using '''Human Form''' [[File:Ling_human_form_hud.png]]. Note that transforming into a monkey also drops your cuffs. Standing on a pile of clothes when turning back to human form will make you automatically put those clothes on.

Costs 1 evolution point and uses 5 chemicals and 5 to shift back.
====[[File:Ling_mimic_voice_hud.png]] Mimic Voice====
Allows the changeling to form their voice of a name they enter.

Costs 1 evolution point and slows chemical generation while active.
====[[File:Arm_blade.png]] Arm Blade====
Reforms one of the changeling's arms into a grotesque blade made out of bone and flesh. The arm blade does 25 damage per hit and can be retracted; however, it is visible on your body and a dead giveaway to onlookers and silicons that you are a changeling. It can also be used to pry open doors when on harm intent (powered ones will take longer).

Costs 2 evolution points and uses 20 chemicals.
====[[File:Ling_tentacle_hud.png]] Tentacle====
Reforms one of the changeling's arms into a tentacle. This tentacle can be fired towards a target, with different effects depending on your intent. The tentacle will be used up when fired once. Counts as a ranged weapon. You must stand still when firing it or the target will instantly break loose instead of being pulled to you.
* '''Targeting an item:''' Grabs the item and throws it in your hand.
* '''Help intent:''' Grabs the mob and pulls it towards the changeling, without any additional effect.
* '''Disarm intent:''' If the mob has any item in hand, that item will be pulled away and put into the changeling's hand, otherwise it has no effect.
* '''Grab intent:''' Grabs the mob and pulls it towards the changeling, aggressively grabbing it once it lands.
* '''Harm intent:''' Grabs the mob and pulls it towards the changeling. If the changeling is also holding a sharp weapon, it'll automatically stab the mob on landing, ignoring armor.
Costs 2 evolution points and uses 10 chemicals.
====[[File:Ling_organic_suit_hud.png]] Organic Space Suit====
Inflates the changeling's flesh into a huge, bulky, spaceworthy mass of pressure and temperature-resistant organic tissue to facilitate space travel. While it's active, you'll also regenerate oxygen damage quickly enough to not need air. Because the suit is made up of the changeling's flesh, it provides no damage resistance and can be injected directly into with syringes. Slows chemical generation while active.

Costs 2 evolution points and uses 20 chemicals.
====[[File:Ling_chitinous_armor_hud.png]] Chitinous Armor====
Inflates the changeling's body into an all-consuming chitinous mass of armor. Provides extensive protection against physical damage, but less against other types. Its mass slows the changeling's movement, and maintaining its shape slows chemical generation.

Costs 1 evolution point and uses 20 chemicals.
====[[File:Ling_panacea_hud.png]] Anatomic Panacea====
Cures the changeling of disabilities, radiation, and toxins. Generally covers the things that Fleshmend doesn't; it can be used to purge the poison that the chemist just shot you up with, or to get rid of that debilitating mutation from an absorbed identity. Can also remove alien larvae. Usable while unconscious. Do not use if you are a slimeperson.

Costs 1 evolution point and uses 20 chemicals.
====Pheromone Receptors====
A toggled ability that gives a HUD icon when another changeling is in a rather large area around you. If you get closer, the icon will turn into an arrow pointing at the nearest changeling, and if you're very close the icon will become a black diamond. Slows chemical regeneration while active. Invaluable for the "absorb another changeling" objective.

Costs 2 evolution points and uses no chemicals.
====[[File:Ling_resonant_shriek_hud.png]] Resonant Shriek====
The changeling emits a tone beyond the range of human hearing, causing deafness and disorientation in an area around itself and bursting lights in the area, while overloading cyborg sensors. Good for escaping groups or preventing people from fleeing from you. Those with ear protection will be unaffected

Costs 1 evolution point and uses 20 chemicals.
====[[File:Ling_dissonant_shriek_hud.png]] Dissonant Shriek====
The changeling emits an EMP, which disables technology in the surrounding area, including radio headsets. Good for escaping [[borg]]s and preventing people from shouting over the radio.

Costs 1 evolution point and uses 20 chemicals.
====[[File:Ling_spread_infestation_hud.png]] Spread Infestation====
Two spiderlings crawl out of the changeling's mouth, eventually growing into deadly beasts. They will attack the changeling as well, if they see it. IMPORTANT: You need at least 3 DNA absorptions (NOT "Extract DNA" Stings) to unlock this late-game ability.

Costs 1 evolution point and uses 45 chemicals.
====[[File:Ling_strained_muscles_hud.png]] Strained Muscles====
The changeling reduces lactic acid buildup in their leg muscles, allowing them to move at extremely fast speeds. While active, the changeling will take steadily incrementing stamina damage and eventually pass out, if he doesn't take a rest.

Costs 1 evolution point and uses no chemicals.
====[[File:Sting_transform.png]] Transformation Sting====
The changeling injects a retrovirus that forces their human victim to transform into another. When extracting the sting the changeling can choose which of the DNAs in storage it wishes to use.

Costs 3 evolution points and uses 50 chemicals.
====[[File:Sting_mute.png]] Mute Sting====
The changeling silently sting a human, completely silencing them for about thirty seconds. Does not provide a warning to a victim that they've been stung, until they try to speak and can't.

Costs 2 evolution points and uses 20 chemicals.
====[[File:Sting_blind.png]] Blind Sting====
The changeling silently stings a human, completely blinding them for a short time and rendering them permanently nearsighted.
Costs 1 evolution point and uses 25 chemicals.
====[[File:Sting_hallucination.png]] Hallucination Sting====
The changeling injects large doses of hallucinogenic chemicals into their victim. Effect occurs after 30 to 60 seconds. The victim does not notice they've been stung until they start tripping.

Costs 1 evolution point and uses 5 chemicals.
====[[File:Sting_cryo.png]] Cryogenic Sting====
The changeling injects the target with a blend of chemicals that begins to turn their blood to ice. The victim will walk slower and take some damage over the full duration. Victims wearing armor or insulated material will take more damage, since they are insulated from the ambient warmth. Can be countered with space heaters, coffee, and other warming objects and foods.

Costs 2 evolution points and uses 15 chemicals.
====[[File:Sting_fake_armblade.png]] False Armblade Sting====
The changeling silently injects a retrovirus that mutates their victim's arm into an armblade. The victim will form an armblade much like a changeling would, except the armblade is dull and useless. The transformation occurs immediately after the sting, and will last for about a minute.

Costs 1 evolution point and uses 20 chemicals.
==Tips==
* As a changeling, the absolute best item for you to get is a wallet (From the crew quarters, in either cabin's personal closet, in the leather satchel.) It goes in your ID slot and holds up to 4 ids, all of which work for automatic access and none of which change your mouse over identity.
* Only take a few abilities at round start! Once you take an ability, it is locked in unless you husk someone. Husking someone is time-consuming, leaves obvious evidence, sort of dickish, and if anyone interrupts you then you're boned. If you leave a few slots open, though, you can easily adapt to whatever shit you find yourself in.
* Transformation Sting is robust. Not only does it confuse the fuck out of people and is silent, but it's easier to hide in a forest than on an open plain. Make 555 of the guy you are changing into for more genomes. Transform the guy you are husking/impersonating into someone else, so you're the only one. Transform a ling who is caught if the scene is chaotic enough that he might escape. The possibilities are endless. ADDED: Wear some generic clothes from arrivals or locker room. Then if somebody's chasing you, run out of their line of sigh, quickly transform and run backwards.
* As a ling you are able to explore space, either staying as a regening corpse until you hit something or through a combination of fleshmend, engorged chem sacs, and a fire suit.
** There are edible clown corpses on the clown shuttle.
** You can of course find spaced people randomly, which is a great way to pick up an identity provided everyone doesn't know they were spaced.
** Or just use organic space suit
** Cryosting is very robust on people with insulation which makes it really effective in space, where they won't have a choice about staying dressed up in their suit.
* Hive channel is free genome storage for identities.
* Mimic voice and subverted AI, or mimic voice and digital camo go a LONG way in completely getting the crew against each other (ie: "one day, woody got wood").
* Keep in mind that if you space yourself and let your corpse husk from the burn damage you'll still be a husk when you get back up. You can clear this effect by transforming to another form and back again. You could also buy voice changing and play a zombie.
* Blind sting + Lesser form = Freedom
** Cryo Sting + Lesser form = Freedom
** LSD Sting + Lesser form = Maybe freedom if it reaches the point of holodamage knockouts.
* Mute Sting + Cryo Sting + Blind Sting + Stun Prod, applied directly to forehead = easy, unrobust kill
* Don't be the person who goes ";g absorbing captain in maint" USE YOUR PERIODS
===Tips for Fighting Against Changelings===
* Changelings do not need heads, and brains are therefore vestigial. Don't debrain a changeling while the body walks out of the door behind you.
* As long as you can talk and you're within 1 tile of an intercom, you can type :i in front of what you say to say it over the intercom. Even when you're stunned and/or on the ground.
* If you get cryostung as a Security Officer, remove your armor and helmet. REMOVE THEM. Or else you will die. Sec armor has somehow some heat tampering properties, which means you won't heat up as much as you would normally be, and will consequently die of cold. Same goes if you are wearing an hardsuit/space protective gear/anything that could have thermal properties. If you get cryo'd, REMOVE THOSE THINGS ASAP.
* The bane of lings is N2O. None of their powers will help them. Unless they use internals.
* Never fight a Changeling alone if you can help it. Unless they're hilariously unrobust, chances are they will almost always win a melee confrontation. The best tactic is to get a buddy to stun the changeling while you handcuff/beat it to death and take it to be gibbed/cremated.
* Changeling flesh clothing is completely cosmetic/non-functional and cannot be removed. If during a strip-search you can't remove an article of clothing from a person, chances are they're a Changeling unless they're cursed in some way.
* A 100 potassium/water explosive lance has a one-tile gibbing radius, useful for permanently taking out changelings without too much collateral damage.
* Gibber machines are easy to construct, and if you leave one in a well trafficked area, its hard to take one out without any witnesses. Even then, they're easy to replace and somewhat expendable.
