Yeah the only thing I really hate about cortical borers is that sometimes they are assholes and work against you rather than working with you like they should. Besides that they're a really fun thing to have.

Not sure why, if I had a borer I would be happy because it would help protect me with chemicals.

If the cortical borer is smart, it will convince the host that it is beneficial to have a cortical borer, sort of like an upgrade to its normal self. In exchange for increasing the host's speed and resilience to damage, the borer will use the host as a breeding ground in order to create more borers who will in turn infest more hosts and create a new species of slug-people muahahhaha sorry for getting carried away.

I think the concept of cortical borers is really interesting because they are a type of sentient parasite that can have a symbiotic relationship with its host and potentially create an army of slug mindslaves. I believe it would be awesome if we could add a Parasite Game mode in which cortical borers have random hosts at the start of the round and have to infect a certain number of humans by the end of the game to win. At the beginning of the round centcomm would sent a message to the bridge that their experimental mind control specimens have escaped containment and may have been sent to the station via cargo shuttle. The captain could either choose to announce the pandemic or keep it a secret in hopes that no one will panic. At the moment cortical borers are extremely rare and I'm honestly not even sure how they spawn. They are extremely fun for both the host and the parasite so I think it would be a good idea.
