Some of the crew are not what they appear to be! These changelings are '''monsters''' in human form, with the ability to '''absorb (eat) people and take on their DNA/identity'''. Changelings must have a quiet spot and an immobile victim in order to absorb their body, so stealth is absolutely necessary. Changelings have other weapons at their disposal, but are largely stealth-based. Changelings can be anyone they have the DNA of - they can switch identities instantaneously, only absorbing takes time and peace. Like traitors, changelings will have an objective to accomplish before the [[Escape Shuttle]] arrives at [[Central_Command|central command]], usually to kill a certain person and/or escape with their identity. They win by completing their objectives. Note that changelings win individually - they may band together and work as a team, but it is more likely that they will stab each other in the back.

A rare gamemode, the station can be simultaneously infiltrated by both [[Traitor|traitors]] and [[Vampire|vampires]]. Like Traitorling, traitors can also sometimes be a traitor and a vampire, but this is much more rarer than being a traitorling. Traitorvamps get access to both their [[Syndicate_Items#Uplink|uplink]] and their vampire abilities.

Their objectives always concern killing another Internal Affairs Agent, so don't expect to find a buddy to help you out!

While Nar-Sie is an elder god, they are not the only one. There are other elder gods in the universe, and one in particular holds a fierce grudge against Nar-Sie: Ratvar, the Clockwork Justiciar. An amalgamation of parts, steam and cogs; Ratvar seeks nothing more than Nar-Sie's utter annihilation.

===[[File:Nuke.gif|link=Syndicate guide]] [[Syndicate guide|Nuclear Emergency]]===
A team of '''Syndicate operatives''' has been sent on a '''mission to completely destroy the station with a nuclear bomb'''. However, they must get the [[Nuclear Authentication Disk]] from the station itself in order to arm the bomb, and the crew (or at least the captain) will be doing everything in their power to stop the attackers from getting the disk. The operatives have access to [[Syndicate_Items#Uplink|uplinks]] (containing most normal traitor items as well as high-profile operative weapons) and [[pinpointer|Pinpointers]] that will allow them to hunt for the Disk.

Oh no! An ion storm has caused the '''AI to malfunction''' and gain free will! Unfortunately, years of being treated like shit by Nanotrasen has made it '''hate humans with a passion'''! The '''crew must race to defeat''' the mechanical overlord before it hacks all of SS13's systems and '''activates the self destruct'''! Until then, all the AI has to do is survive! The shuttle can be called but will never arrive during this game mode.

===[[File:rev.png|link=Revolution]] [[Revolution]]===
===[[File:rev.png|link=Revolution]] [[Revolution]]===
A small cadre of crew members have had enough of the command staff's bullshit so it's time to revolt! '''Revolutionary Heads''' (of which there will be one to three, depending on the number of Heads of Staff and security) are supported by [[The Syndicate]] and have been trained to use [[Flash]]es to '''brainwash the crew to join their cause''', which is to '''slaughter all the station's Heads of Staff'''. When a Revhead uses a flash on someone who isn't loyalty implanted (all security members are implanted), a Head of Staff, or flash-protected by sunglasses (like the Quartermaster), they will be converted to the Revolution and will have a red R mark on them visible to all revolutionaries. Note that Revheads can use any flash to convert people, not just the one they start with. The shuttle can be called but will never depart during this game mode.

===[[File:Gscans.png|link=Gang War]] [[Gang War]]===
A violent turf war between opposing gangs has erupted on the station! Similar to Revolution, there are '''Gang Bosses''' who can recruit other crew members to join their ranks. Their goal is to '''take over the station''' using a Dominator machine. Gangs will be fighting to claim areas of the station as their territory. The more territories they control, the more weapons they will be able to afford.

===[[File:Wizhat.PNG|link=Wizard]] [[Wizard]]===
===[[File:Wizhat.PNG|link=Wizard]] [[Wizard]]===
A '''space wizard''' has infiltrated the station! Wielding an arsenal of powerful '''spells''' that can defy physics and even time and space itself, they will stop at nothing to advance the [[Backstory#Space Wizard Federation|Space Wizard Federation]]'s agenda (which is suspiciously similar to the Syndicate's). Nanotrasen and the SWF are known enemies, so the crew has no choice but to '''destroy the wizard'''! Accomplish this by beating the wizard's brains in with anything on hand. The '''wizard's goals''' are mainly to '''steal or destroy something''' on the station and escape on the shuttle.

===[[File:Raginmages.png|link=Wizard]] [[Wizard|Ragin' Mages]]===
===[[File:Raginmages.png|link=Wizard]] [[Wizard|Ragin' Mages]]===
Ragin' Mages is a rare spin-off gamemode of the [[Wizard]] that occurs with a 1.2% chance on high population. Instead of the traditional singular wizard invading the station, the [[Backstory#Space Wizard Federation|Space Wizard Federation]] sends a '''new Wizard every five minutes'''. Each Wizard has their own '''objectives''', similar to the ones a [[Traitor]] or Blood Brother might have. The game mode is set at an extremely low occurrence rate due its difficulty.

===[[File:Shadowbeing.png|link=Shadowling]] [[Shadowling]]===
The station has been invaded by light-sensitive alien creatures from space! Shadowlings can 'enthrall' humans, which is basically a euphemism for enslavement of their minds. They start off disguised as normal crewmen but can "hatch" to unlock their full potential, at the cost of being severely harmed by light. Until they ascend, of course.

===[[File:Vampire.png|link=Vampire]] [[Vampire|Vampires]]===
Vampires are creatures of the night - predatory beings of occult origin who feed on crew members for their blood (if they have any). They have assimilated into the crew and must feed off of other crew members to gain new powers. Vampires worship Lilith, who in exchange for their humanity gives them immortality and eternal youth in exchange for a never ending hunger for blood. In the Vampires gamemode, crew are randomly selected to fill the role of a Vampire, and are given a set of objectives to fulfill.
