After you hatch, you may notice that you can only see the tile you're standing on. There's a way to fix this. Look in your action buttons - you should see a blank button called Shift Nerves. This will allow you to change the range of your night vision, all the way from a full screen to none at all. This allows you to be more or less careful with your vision, and to check if something is in the light or not. | After you hatch, you may notice that you can only see the tile you're standing on.

So a shadowling mesmerized you by staring into your eyes (lewd) and now you're a thrall! What this means is that your primary goal and objective is to obey the shadowlings and help them at all costs. If you look in your tabs, you have a new one, Shadowling Abilities. In this tab is the Hivemind Commune ability, which lets you communicate on a silent channel with all other thralls and shadowlings. You're basically an [[Adamantine Golem]] in terms of where your loyalties lie -- utterly with the shadowlings. Mindshielded? Not anymore, the nanobots are dead. Wizard? Use your spells to help the shadowling. Traitor? Tough | So a shadowling mesmerized you by staring into your eyes (lewd) and now you're a thrall!

Keep in mind that many of the shadowling's abilities rely on damaging or manipulating you. Even by helping the shadowlings accomplish their one objective, you are sentencing yourself completely and utterly to death - there is no way around it. You may find yourself drained of half your life, used as bait, used as a bodyguard, deleted from the game world, or suddenly surrounded in the middle of a maintenance tunnel by Security officers who are trying to cave your chest in. Assume you're going to die, but try not to - the shadowlings need you alive. | Keep in mind that many of the shadowling's abilities rely on damaging or manipulating you.

So the shouts over the radio weren't wizard, ops, or blob, but shadowlings? Your work is gonna be cut out for you, soldier. Shadowlings are terrifying foes and can do much in their power to avoid you. They can even extinguish most electronic lights, so you should turn to fire-based sources and yellow slime extracts, but even then anybody can extinguish fires. Don't get caught alone or you'll live out the rest of your considerably shortened lifespan in mindless servitude. | So the shouts over the radio weren't wizard, ops, or blob, but shadowlings?
