	Cortical Borers are small worms that crawl in your brain and take control to reproduce. While it may seem bad at first, there are some upsides and reasons to keep that worm in your brain. ~~Just in case~~ you don't want a worm injecting 45u of [[Methamphetamine\|meth]] when you least expect it, there are ways to kick ~~that Borer~~ out!		Cortical Borers are small worms that crawl in your brain and take control to reproduce. While it may seem bad at first, there are some upsides and reasons to keep that worm in your brain. If you don't want a worm injecting 45u of [[Methamphetamine\|meth]] when you least expect it, there are ways to kick them out too!

	'''Remember, borers are like abductors. There are reasons to kill hosts, but make sure you have a good reason to do so.'''		'''Remember, borers are like abductors. There are reasons to kill hosts, but make sure you have a good reason to do so.'''

	==Getting a Host==		==Getting a Host==
	Outside of the host, ~~you~~ are very weak. ~~Anything more than talking~~ to ~~your hivemind, you cannot do~~. ~~No talking. To get~~ a host~~, you do have a couple abilities~~. ~~Considering how hard it is to communicate to possible hosts, you should instead enter him forcibly. You can hide~~ under ~~tables~~ and ~~such, use this~~ to ~~your advantage. Hosts will get a message when you start crawling~~ in~~, so use your shock ability to~~ stun them ~~long enough to~~ crawl in. ~~A few things to keep in mind is~~ that ~~the~~ stun ~~can~~ only ~~occur in~~ the tile in front of you, and has a long cooldown.		Outside of the host, Borers are very weak. Your only ability is hivemind communication with other borers and a stun ability that can temporarily incapacitate your soon-to-be host.

			Ambush tactics work best for acquiring a new host. Hide under a table and wait for an unsuspecting victim to pause in front of it and stun them, then crawl right in. It's worth noting that your stun only works on the tile in front of whatever direction you're facing, and it has a long cooldown. The host will also get a notice when you start crawling in.

	So, you're in a brain now~~. You can now access most of your abilities! You~~'re (technically) not a useless worm anymore! ~~Here's how to work with~~ your ~~host.~~ As long as you're in a host, ~~You~~ generate chemicals over time.

As long as you're in a host, you generate chemicals over time. You have a maximum of 250, and you use chemicals to cast abilities.

	Your objective is to reproduce~~, you~~ need 10 hosts ~~(borer-holding-humans)~~ on the escape [[shuttle]] to win. ~~This means helping out~~ the ~~esword~~-~~using~~ maniac ~~isn't a good idea~~, ~~because if you think he's going~~ to ~~get on the shuttle with 10 other people, you're crazy. You can~~ pull the plug on ~~him, or~~, ~~having~~ a ~~borer help an [[Security_Officer\|officer]] arrest the traitor~~, and ~~bring him on~~ the shuttle ~~in [[Handcuffs\|cuffs]] works too~~.		Your objective is to reproduce: Borers need 10 infected hosts on the escape [[shuttle]] to win. Being selective with your targets is crucial. Should you infect the e-sword wielding maniac, or the humble [[janitor]] just trying to stay alive? Why not both!? Wriggle your way into that traitor and pull the plug on them, then give our friendly janitor a speed boost so they, and you, make it onto the shuttle.

	So you just saw a botanist vomiting up slugs, and they just crawled into the vents. What can you do to stop them from brain controlling the whole station?

	===Sugar===		===Sugar===
	[[Sugar]] dulls the Borer, and it is unable to use any abilities. If the Borer doesn't like you, or needs to do something, it will start to take full control. You need to ~~get sugar into your system as~~ fast ~~as possible,~~ before it ~~takes control or learns~~ what you ~~are~~ doing. The quickest way to get sugar in your system is snacks. The sugar in your bloodstream should last long enough to get to chemistry, ~~and get some~~ more sugar. ~~from~~ there, ~~surgery will do~~!		[[Sugar]] dulls the Borer, and renders it unable to use any abilities. If the Borer doesn't like you, or needs to do something, it will start to take full control. You'll need to act fast before it figures out what you're doing. The quickest way to get sugar in your system is snacks. The sugar in your bloodstream should last long enough to get to chemistry, where you can make more sugar. From there, it's a simple surgical procedure to get that sucker outta your head!
