**'''Failing lungs''' will be unable to respirate properly, causing suffocation. In the case of a need for immediate emergency lung healing, a [[Surgery#Lobectomy|Lobectomy]] can be done, but a pair of lungs can only have this done ''once'', and it will bring them back from failing to functional. | **'''Failing lungs''' will be unable to respirate properly, causing suffocation.

**'''Replace the lungs''' in an emergency with a fresh or cybernetic pair. Cybernetic lungs have different benefits to normal lungs. Cybernetic lungs allow you to survive in low pressure environments, and filter out low levels of bad gasses. | **'''Replace the lungs''' in an emergency with a fresh or cybernetic pair. Cybernetic lungs have different benefits to normal lungs and can be modified with a crowbar to improve breathing, but this takes more oxygen.

These situations are not as common as normal damages, but they are still VERY LIKELY to happen.

Sometimes, people are dropped off in Medbay with charred, grey skin and a lack of definable features. This means that they are a husk. They either died through extreme temperature, or through a changeling sucking out all their valuable DNA: evidenced by being both a husk and also resembling a "crushed, empty juice pouch" on examine. | Sometimes, people are dropped off in Medbay with charred, grey skin and a lack of definable features.

If you try to de-brain a changeling victim husk corpse and put their brain into an [[Research items#Man-Machine%20Interface|MMI]], it '''WILL''' fail and be unresponsive! Do not do this! You are not being clever nor helpful, it will never work, and that's the point!
