-== So a slime wants to be your friend ==
+== Friendship and Slimes ==
-As long as you are regarded as a 'friend' and they are not extremely hungry, the slimes should not feed or glomp you. After feeding on a monkey, a slime may befriend the person who was the last one to '''grab''' or '''bump''' into a monkey.
+If you've been following the guide and diligently breeding and culling the slimes, you may have noticed that while the slimes very quickly attack and eat the monkeys you offer them, they have little to no interest in eating you. This is because you've become their "friend", a status that can be earned by hanging around line of sight of the slime and feeding it. It's a bit strange sometimes, slimes will rarely attack you for seemingly no reason, but if you're doing a good job you won't need to work for this.
-If you're not sure whether a slime has friendzoned you, try talking to it! Either say "hello" and an individual slime's number, or "Hello, slimes". If the slime replies, congratulations, you've got a friend! This slime and its offspring will never attack you. If that didn't work, you'll have to repeat it. They can be immensely stubborn sometimes, however, more so if more then one person is around.
+There are, however, some commands you can issue as a slime's friend, including "follow" and "stop." Keep in mind however, these commands are exceedingly finicky, and are rarely used for a reason.
-Slimes who regard you as a friend will also respond to certain commands, such as "follow" and "stop." Experiment! If they can't find a path to you, they'll typically respond with a 'i won't follow' or similar.
+=== THEY'RE EATING HER... AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO EAT ME! OH MY GOOOOOOOOD! ===
-=== So a slime wants to be your SPECIAL friend ===
+So either by you not feeding the slime enough, the slime being an dick, or [[Guide_to_xenobiology#Tier_3|reas]][[Guide_to_xenobiology#So_You.27re_a_Traitor|ons]], a slime has tried to kill you. If the slime is a baby, this is annoying. If the slime is an adult, you may die if you don't know what you're doing.
-So you managed to piss it off, eh? Your safest bet here is to push the slime off with disarm intent and leg it, quite simply. Either spray it with your fire extinguisher (you are holding one, right?) or hide in a locker and yell for help if you are unrobust or can't get out of xenobiology itself.
+Slimes have two attacks: A glomp that does brute damage with adults dealing more and a chance to stun, and the far more dangerous 'feeding' attack which deals clone damage and empowers the slime, a rare and very difficult to hear type of damage. If a slime starts feeding on you, wrestle it off with disarm intent and spray it down with an extinguisher (You DID get an extinguisher, right?) when you get it off until it dies. After that, hobble off to medbay for healing.
-Normal slime attacks ("glomps") do damage that can be healed simply with a first-aid kit, but if a slime starts actually feeding on you, you will have to visit [[Medbay]] to be healed.
+While this is generally more a tip for you when NOT playing Xenobiologist, in the event of a very rare slime outbreak, perhaps of sentient slimes, get an extinguisher and hide. A horde of angry slimes can multiply fast, and while slimes are normally unintelligent and docile, outbreaks of them are nearly always done on purpose by someone wanting to destroy the station, and are thus paired with usage of red extracts enraging slimes and/or light pink or black extracts making very deadly intelligent slimes. Pray that the AI is able to stop them, and that the xenobiologist who released the slimes doesn't follow up with [[Guide_to_xenobiology#So_You.27re_a_Traitor|something worse]].
