Changeling
Генокрад
Доступ: В зависимости от твоей профессии
Дополнительный Доступ: Любое место, куда вы или ваши жертвы имеют доступ
Начальство: Возможно, Синдикат
Обязанности: Красть ДНК людишек, глупых людишек.
Руководства: Это и есть руководство
Сложность: Сложная
Цитата: "ГЛАВА БЕЗОПАСНОСТИ - ГЕНА-" *БЗЗЗЗЗЗРТ* *ХРУМ-ХРУМ* "Забейте, всё в порядке. Возвращайтесь к работе."
Генокрад - высокоразвитый инопланетый хищник, способный изменить свою форму, чтобы безупречно скопировать человека. Обычно они внедряются небольшими группами, но сохраняют полную автономию и действуют как отдельные личности. Из-за их развитых способностей к внедрению, Синдикат часто нанимает Генокрадов, чтобы выкрасть предметы Нанотрасена. Генокрады охотятся при помощи своей способности синтезировать смертельные токсины внутри своего тела, изменять форму своих прошлых жертв и даже свою.
Нечто Из Кооооосмоса!
Генокрад прибыл на станцию! У него было время "познакомиться" с тонкостями личности первой жертвы и он готов забрать всё, что ему захочется -- будет ли это ваше снаряжение, ваши лица или ваши жизни! ____На выбор редактора____
Генокрад прибыл на станцию! У него было время "познакомиться" с внутренностями и наружностями первой жертвы и он готов забрать всё, что ему захочется -- будет ли это ваше снаряжение, ваши лица или ваши жизни!
Даже если Генокрад не атаковал членов экипажа, скорее всего, он атаковал или убил кого-то при внедрении.
Хорошо, что делать теперь?
Важно: Используйте "Alt+ЛКМ" или "СКМ" чтобы ужалить кого-то своим текущим жалом. Вы можете ужалить кого-то на расстоянии до двух клеток. Генокрады больше не имеют канала коллективного разума с Октября 2020 года (раньше использовался префикс :g).
Теперь вы могли заметить дохуища иконок интерфейса вверху экрана. Это ваши спосбности. Наведите мышкой на иконки, чтобы увидеть их названия.
Первое:
- Узнайте о доступных вам способностях.
- Используйте их, чтобы украсть ДНК у людей и достичь ваших целей.
Похищение ДНК
Задача многих Генокрадов - получить 5-7 штаммов ДНК, для каких-то неизвестных инопланетянских целей. Чтобы сделать это, он должен взять ЛЮБОГО человека, живого или мёртвого (подойдут даже бездушные оболочки, выброшенные из Генетики), и добыть их ДНК.
ДНК может быть добыта двумя способами:
"Извлечение ДНК", требующее 25 химикатов, действует мгновенно и незаметно для цели. Таким образом вы можете добыть сколько угодно образцов ДНК, но трансформироваться сможете только в 7 последних добытых.
Поглощение жертвы, из которого появляется Хаск 
. Хаски появившиеся из-за бёрн-урона могут быть расхасканы и возрождены, но не Хаски, появившиеся в результате Поглощения. Их нужно клонировать с помощью капсулы клонирования или возродить с помощью магии. Лимит в 7 обличий действет и на эту способность.
Поглощение
Добыча ДНК с помощью поглощения требует от вас душить свою жертву и кликать по способности Поглощение. Потом вам придётся дождаться трёх долгих заполнений индикатора, пока вы тыкаете и всасываетесь в жертву своим хоботком.
- Поглощение жертвы немного восстановит количесво ваших химикатов, даст ДНК жертвы и позволит переадаптировать (перераспределить) свои способности. У вас может быть одновременно только одно "переадаптирование".
- Поглощение других Генокрадов даст вам все их химикаты и накопленные геномы ДНК.
- Поглощение захасканных ожогами или вакуумом жертв не даст вам новых геномов.
Превращение
Генокрад может изменять свою форму, чтобы выглядеть и звучть точно так же, как их жертвы, которые были поглощены.
Это может значительно поставить под угрозу охрану станции, особенно если командный состав был поглощён и Генокрад может под них мимикрировать.
Генокрады могут, благодаря их способности Уменьшенная Форма, превращаться в обезьян и делать обезьяньи дела.
Преваращение незаметно и не отображается в чате, но внимательный член экипажа может заметить, что вы внезапно стали кем-то совершенно другим.
Регенерация
Так же известная как ВоскрешающийСтазис, доступная Генокрадам способность "убить" себя и притвориться мёртвым на две минуты. После этого Генокрад может воскреснуть по желанию 
, полностью излечившимся от всех ран и болезней. И вход в стазис и выход из него стоит 10 химикатов, так что удостоверьтесь, что у вас есть хотя бы 20, прежде чем умрёте и активируете его.
Это делает их почти неубиваемыми, так как они могут полностью излечиться даже от смерти, если их тела целы и у них есть достаточно химикатов. Отправленные в космос Генокрады тоже могут вернуться на станцию, если им дать достаточно времени. Лучший способ разделаться с Генокрадом раз и навсегда - "гибнуть" или кремировать в церкви.
Задания
Задания у Генокрадов могут быть такими:
- 1. Добыть 5-7 штаммов ДНК: Вам просто нужно добыть ДНК, проще всего это сделать с помощью Извлечения ДНК .
- 1a. Добыть более совместимые геномы, чем другие Генокрады.: Говорит само за себя - вы можете либо спамить Извлечением ДНК , либо убить бедолагу, который уже выполнил это задание.
- 2. Убить/Не дать эвакуироваться кому-то: Убить какого-нибудь бедолагу из экипажа. Можно выполнить стандартными способами или одной из ваших способностей.
- 3. Поглотить другого Генокрада: Вы должны убить и поглотить другого Генокрада.
- 4. Украсть объект: Украсть особый или редкий объект с станции. Вам сообщат, что нужно украсть.
- 5a. Эвакуироваться живым: Все Генокрады получают задание на эвакуацию. Чтобы выполнить, вам нужно находиться в эвакуационном шаттле или Поде, когда они приземлятся в Центкоме.
- '5b. Эвакуироваться с чужой личностью: В дополнение к удачной эвакуации, Генокрад должен выглядеть как цель и носить на себе ID-карту цели, чтобы выполнить это задание.
Задачи Команды
У Генокрадов больше нет командных задний с Октября 2020ого
Быть Одиночкой или Работать в Команде?
Генокрады - одиночки, так что только от вас зависит, убьёте вы или скопперируетесь с остальными Генокрадами, которых встретите.
Способности Генокрада
У Генокрадов есть и другие опасные способности, например, различные жалящие способности, которые можно пульнуть в противника мгноменно, если сделать дротик. Химикаты у Генокрадов быстро восстанавливаются (0.5 за секнду).
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 charge for an 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. Absorbing other changelings may let you have more than 10 evolution points.
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
Reviving Stasis 
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 
will change to this: . Clicking that icon will then instantly resurrect you and heal all wounds and status effects. Can be used while dead. 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.
Regenerate
A free evolution. The changeling instantly regenerates lost limbs and organs. If it is regenerating limbs, it will make a loud and obvious sound.
Uses 10 chemicals.
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 ID, 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. Transforming also gives you a temporary but fully functional copy of the transform target's Skillchips.
Warning: The fake ID from disguising makes you look like an unknown to sechuds. This means if you wear the fake ID after transforming, any sec officer will instantly know you are a changeling if they see you (issue report). Until fixed, click the fake card to delete it, and replace it with a real ID.
Uses 5 chemicals.
Файл:Ling hivemind channel hud.png Hive Channel
A free evolution. The changeling can channel a selected genome into the airwaves for other changelings to absorb and use. Also useful for storing important DNA without it being overwritten.
Uses 10 chemicals.
Файл:Ling hive absorb hud.png Hive Absorb
A free evolution. The changeling can absorb DNA from the air that has been channelled by a fellow changeling. Doesn't help the changeling reach their genome objective.
Uses 20 chemicals.
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.
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 unidentifiable. In addition to giving the changeling the DNA, it will also give it a few samples of the victim's memories (including any 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.
Abilities Available via Evolution Menu
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.
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.
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.
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.
Adrenaline Sacs
Allows to the changeling to make use of additional adrenaline to instantly recover from knockdown (but no other status effects). This also injects 4u Changeling Adrenaline and 3u Changeling Haste, which together gives about 6 seconds of extreme speed and about 20 seconds of slight reduction of further stuns. These chems will deal minor toxin damage. High chemical cost.
Costs 2 evolution points and uses 30 chemicals.
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 25 chemicals.
Last Resort
For when you are well and truly fucked. Creates a small explosion, gibs your current body, and spawns a headslug; a creature that can ventcrawl and attack a (non-monkey) corpse to plant a hidden changeling egg. The headslug dies shortly afterwards. The changeling egg grows into a monkey changeling after about 4 minutes. The ability works even when cuffed, stunned or trapped in a welded locker, but does not work if you are in monkey form, crit or dead.
If you're killed while in headslug form, and you haven't infected any corpse, you won't be able to revive!
Costs 1 evolution point and uses 20 chemicals.
Lesser Form 
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 
. 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.
Mimic Voice
Allows the changeling to form their voice of a name they enter.
Costs 1 evolution point and slows chemical generation while active.
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 by using the ability again; 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.
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. Target people usually need to stand still to reliably be 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 their active 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.
Organic Shield
Reforms one of the changeling's arms into a large, fleshy shield. Has a chance to block or mitigate a number of attacks, the amount increasing by 3 with each genome absorbed (needs confirmation).
Costs 1 evolution point and uses 20 chemicals.
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.
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.
| Defense values % | Chemical cost |
|---|---|
| melee = 40 bullet = 40 laser = 40 energy = 50 bomb = 10 bio = 4 rad = 0 fire = 90 acid = 90 |
reduces chemical regeneration by 25% |
Costs 1 evolution point and uses 20 chemicals.
Anatomic Panacea
Cures the changeling of many ailments including brain traumas, mutations, diseases, 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 and zombie infection. 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.
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.
Costs 1 evolution point and uses 20 chemicals.
Dissonant Shriek
The changeling emits an EMP, which disables technology in the surrounding area, including radio headsets. Good for escaping borgs and preventing people from shouting over the radio.
Costs 1 evolution point and uses 20 chemicals.
Spread Infestation
You vomit out bloody eggs. Ghosts can interact with these eggs to spawn as flesh spiders Файл:Flesh spider.gif. These are hostile to all non-spider life, including the changeling that spawned them.
A flesh spider can:
- Place web slightly faster than a normal spider can.
- Heal itself, but not other spiders.
- Occasionally leave blood on the floor.
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.
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. Doesn't work in monkey form.
Costs 1 evolution point and uses no chemicals.
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. You can't use this to transform people into plasmamen.
Costs 3 evolution points and uses 50 chemicals.
Mute Sting
The changeling silently stings 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
- If you journey to lavaland, have internals on at all times in case the atmosphere outside is BZ, even trace amounts in the air will drain your chemical count rapidly leaving you vulnerable for long periods of time.
- 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.
- If you do choose to absorb someone though, the chameleon skin ability is very useful. You can use it to go invisible while you are absorbing them, then if anyone finds the body before you are finished with it they won't immediately yell "LINGS" on common, as well as making it dead easy to ambush them.
- You can revive yourself inside a Space Dragon and use an armblade to kill it from the inside out, the same is possible with a few other creatures.
- 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.
- BZ gas is also a bane of lings, it drains their chemicals when they breathe it in. It is a huge pain for changelings to deal with if they haven't taken anatomic panacea to flush out the bz metabolites from their bloodstream. A good BZ/oxygen/N2O filled gas tank will incapacitate a ling indefinitely if you can slap on restraints too.
- 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 100u potassium/100u water grenades can no longer gib changelings, but it is still possible to create grenades that can gib humans and lings alike, such as 200u meth grenades..
- 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. A gibber with a tier 2 manipulator or above will also gib fully clothed people.
- When in doubt, use the gulag shuttle.
- In most circumstances, a ling absorbing someone renders them non-revivable, however if you have taken the blood of someone who has been absorbed (has to be done before they were absorbed), you can buy an exotic seeds crate from cargo and inject their blood into replica pod seeds, which you can proceed to grow into a podperson of the victim. They will only remember up to when the blood was taken, and will have to deal with the drawbacks of being a podperson.
