Cloning is done by making a clone of your original body using a [[File:Scanner.gif]][[File:Cloningcomp.png]][[File:Clone.gif]]cloning machine (cloner). You need to be inside your body, not in ghost form, to get scanned by the cloner. You will get an alert if someone is trying to clone you.

|Blob | |||
|Station | |||
|Blob | |||
|'''Blob''' is a [[Random events#Blob|random event]] where a large blob infests the station and starts destroying everything its path, including hull, fixtures and creatures. The crew must destroy the blob to prevent it from destroying a pre-determined amount of the station, currently 400 tiles. Once the blob reaches critical mass, the blob has a minute or so to absolutely devour the station with its now insane spread rate and infinite resources. Only thing to do as crew at that point is to launch yourself to lavaland in a escape pod. | |||

What happened to the hospital? And is that smoke you smell? You need to find someone else. Maybe they can tell you what happened. | |||

|Eldritch Horror | |||
|The Eldritch Horror is an antagonist that either spawns as a midround or as a summon by a Traitor Curator. The Horror's skill set is primarily geared towards evasion and stealth with some combat capabilities. Most of a horror's time is going to be spent stalking and entering hosts to complete their objectives either by consuming souls or following the commands of their master. Once a midround horror completes their objectives, they can continue to consume souls or hide out until the end of the round. | |||

Lavaland | |||

|You've been stranded in this godless prison of a planet for longer than you can remember. Each day you barely scrape by, and between the terrible conditions of your makeshift shelter, the hostile creatures, and the ash drakes swooping down from the cloudless skies, all you can wish for is the feel of soft grass between your toes and the fresh air of Earth. These thoughts are dispelled by yet another recollection of how you got here... you were always joked about by your friends for "not playing with a full deck", as they so kindly put it. It seems that they were right when you, on a tour at one of Nanotrasen's state-of-the-art research facilities, were in one of the escape pods alone and saw the red button. It was big and shiny, and it caught your eye. You pressed it, and after a terrifying and fast ride for days, you landed here. You've had time to wisen up since then, and you think that your old friends wouldn't be laughing now. | |||
