SkeletalElite Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) So this is an idea for a mid round antag thats a little more serious than regular borers. Basically they'd be special borers that can't reproduce but get some more special abilities. They were genetically engineered by the syndicate to get something done for the syndicate. They would have access to a wider and more useful range of chemicals (to the borer, not the host) They would be better at taking over hosts and keeping them under control when not taking direct control They would have actual objectives to do bad stuff rather than reproduce, be best friends with host Also can't reproduce like regular borers Edited September 16, 2018 by SkeletalElite Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/14385-syndicate-borers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eler00 Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 IMO, they should be able of reproducing so that the crew has a harder time telling if it is normal borers or syndicate borers, casting doubt on every borer round and hopefully cutting back on the people that just run into maint to get infected.

Pckables Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) I like the idea, it's like a holoparasite that gives you chems instead of directly attacking people, slaved to its owner rather than given a generic goal. If the owner gets put in processing, they can slither into the officers ear, take control, and release their master. As a fail safe, the borer should probably be prevented from dominating its master.

I was thinking of this as more of its own antag, but it could be a cool traitor item too. Like give it better healing chems like omnizine and stuff. Thatd be cool.
