It was borgs, not telescience who brought the ice spiders to the station to incubate and grow in the monkey pen before unleashing them to the station.

Glad you enjoyed them. I'd actually left them for some new chump who didn't know how to make them and had left after I'd taught him how. It would have been even more impressive if you hadn't set it off on a reinforced floor. edit: I'd left them in toxins, so don't think I'd dropped them off in the bar for some jerk to grife with

Seems like critters are fixed, at least the biodome zombies anyway. Not sure if it's just me but they seem a bit more faster than usual, pretty strong too if it put me to the ground in one hit.

When I said I wanted to make bombs I quite literally meant pipebombs, not well, not them. That was no pipe bomb you hooked me up with. (I only left to throw my PDA and to grab a fuel tank for the flamethrower I made, expedition's call for some brand of firepower) I was left staring at the screen in both horror and amazement, so thank you. That was wonderful.

I remember seeing the end results of that bombing. Of course, I was doing some of my own as the traitor RD that round. I had managed to find the Spiked Football and was playing SPORTS with one Weedlord Gokuhitler in the void. Namely, Exploding SPORTSball. You need a football covered in razors, and poo poo ton of microbomb implants, spread between the players. His microbomb implant went off just as a detective joined us in the void, setting off the six or so in me.

That was an awful round. Genetics was under fire or filled with trolling sperglords constantly for 30 minutes before my geneticist partner went nuts and tried to kill me. I somehow got shoved into a scanner and was unconscious the for 40 minutes, unable to succumb. The worst part is, I don't think anybody was a traitor.

Trip report : Changeling Medical Director. Ran off pretty early and took the freebies out in mining before coming back and managing to sting the captain. He's yelling about cloaked sleepy pen over the radio as I'm far away chilling with my geneticists. I wait a decent amount of time and head back, where I see the Captain and HoP, Mr. White, in the pharmacy. I get close, ask what happened, mention about what he said on the radio, distracting White from shoving anti-tox after anti-tox pill down the Captain's throat. He goes, 'I'm fainting'. Then starts stuttering. Last words? 'YOU' Faints, I drag him down into pathology and do my thing, as the Captain is saying thanks to the hero HoP who managed to save him. I respond with mimic, decide to take White's identity since he had all access. I wander around a bit, eat some folk, then find the HoS afk in his office. I assume his identity for the rest of the round, and subvert the AI with an only-human law. I had stung the dude trying to break into the upload the AI was calling out on the radio about, ate him out in space. Just went around, stinging, and I got to sternly warning the crew about the security alert about changelings on the station. A few said thanks, but all got face-spat and dragged off while being chastised for not listening. Did I mention the only two pairs of thermals are in my possession at this point? Good. Capt's still kicking around, messing about with AI shells and husk brains and poo poo, but has too many people around him. I managed to eat a mutation-cloaked geneticist in the morgue, of course after warning him about changelings, with the captain and detective in the next room, totally unknowing. Stripping him, what's this. CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING BELT. I quickly make a plan, call the shuttle, and eat various other isolated people, mostly on the north half of the station. I hear on the radio the doors are shocked, I get the AI to cut it out. Time comes, I get to the shuttle area about two minutes before it would hit, and find a item-cloaked assistant beating the poo poo out of some guy, yelling for my help. I murder him with the egun, take his cloak, pop on the wrestling belt. It's loving go time. That fatass crying for help got meth-wrestled, before being chucked out the airlock because he was too blubbery for me to get my hands around his neck. Wrestle another guy badly. Eating meth the whole time as I kick a miner from one airlock to the other just inside the shuttle, and go on my cloaked wrasslin rampage. Fueled by a bottle of meth ate right before it went down, I gently caress spacemans up before popping abomination with about half the shuttle time left. You can't kick or strike, but you still keep the moves even though the belt falls off. So I would punch them, slam, climb my monstrous form on a chair and drop on them before devouring whole. Unfortunately there were but a few left alive during this time. I ended with 21 absorbed at round end and 23 by the time it restarted. Hands down best ling round, even better than the one where I Houdini'd out of a surefire death. I just wish I had held the cloak in my hand when I unveiled myself.

I was the fat guy you threw out of the airlock. I signed on late as a doctor and was sleepy penned by another traitor on my way to medbay to dig shrapnel out of some guy's chest, given eye-beams by the slowest geneticist ever, then I randomly mutated a loving lot outside of escape, to the point where I had no idea what was going on. Deadchat was pissed that the HoS was picked as a changeling and got a belt somehow, though.

As long as they're unconscious, a table will do. Just wring the neck for a bit until they stop struggling.

If you were hit by PartyBot's blasts while in space, the momentum would keep you going across multiple screen transitions, until you hit something and promptly gibbed. Don't know if the regular Firebots have that kind of force but it certainly made the first time I broke into PartyBot's lair memorable.

After a few borg rounds, I think I have a favorite thing to play as now. I thought the laws and the limitations of your slotted module would be a pain, but you get used to it very quickly. Even without hands to manipulate objects with, you learn how to get around it, or you just go to the roboticist to change up. The Robotic Talk channel is neat as hell too, adds a whole new perspective to what's happening on the station beyond regular and job-specific radio; a whole layer of chatter you miss just for not being a borg. The battery's barely a nuisance so long as you don't have all your item slots filled all the time, and recharging at the various docks around the station is fast. And the freedom, holy crap, you can go just about anywhere and the most you'll get is "huh, borg going through here, oh well." The thing I like most though, so far? Your fellow borgs and the AI actually kinda give a drat about you.

There's a machine translator implant that Roboticists can make that let humans use the machine talk channel. Sometimes even if you're not a Roboticist you can bribe them for an implant by trading them yellow gloves though.

If I'm a roboticist, if someone knocks on my window and asks for a machine translator implant, I'll gladly give it to them, no bribe needed. I always make one for myself, the captain almost always comes in and gets one for himself, so it's a fun little private channel. It also lets me talk to any borg buddies, so I usually get to avoid rampaging emagged borgs, since I was nice enough to give them a reinforced head.  And more than once, I've gotten the AI to hint/somewhat reveal their changed laws by convincing them (lying) that I'm just a really advanced borg with a meat-body, so it's totally not telling a human what their new law is.Now, if more people came in to be borged...

The robotics manufacturer can make it, though you'll need an implanter to do anything with it (also available at the robotics manufacturer). If the roboticist is unwilling to take your bribe, try QM.
