Abductors are technologically advanced alien society set on cataloging all species in the system. Unfortunately for their subjects their methods are quite invasive.


=Getting Started=
==The Truth is out there==
So your primary goal is to capture, and experiment on humanoids, Usually the goal is 6 or 7, because this job is <span style="color:#FF0000">EXTREMELY <s>DIFFICULT</s> EASY</span>.  <!--- No it's not you scrubs. *sigh* --->
Firstly, it is important to note: Abductors cannot speak in the conventional sense. Instead, they share a telepathic link with other member of the expedition ship (the UFO). Talking is automatically converted to telepathy. This is important because it means that regardless of the situation, you have a link to your partner that you can communicate through. Remember to communicate!


You as the alien cannot speak, so you and your partner contain a telepathic language that allows you to communicate, just as a FYI if you want to capture humans, <span style="color:#0000ff">COMMUNICATION IS KEY TO SUCCESS</span>!!
'''OH SHUCKS I'M AN AYYYLIEN WHAT DO?''' Well, my wonderful friend, here is a detailed and thorough guide to being the best alien duo in the galaxy.
(Just not METAcommunication)


=Getting to know your gear=
Agents are the ones that will do the majority of the actual field work. With the help of the scientist, they can put on a disguise and locate a human to catch. Their main job is to find an isolated target, successfully stun them and put them to sleep, cuff them, and take them to a secluded area where the scientist can come in and do the rest.
So you are aliens,you can see the gear you have,  but how does it all work?,  the console to the left is a camera console, you can scan people (for disguises)  mark the agent (to beam him back up) and isolate people to attack.  
Just use the console and the cameras work much like the ai's you move them like you would move yourself.  You will notice several Icons at the top, most of which involve the science tool, you can toggle the mode of it to SCAN,  MARK and PROBE,  scan adds a person's image (with clothing)  to the database so you may let the agent use it as a disguise,
however,  this copies handcuffs too,  so if that happens people WILL notice you.  


If you go to the console next to the telepad, you can set your agent's vest to stealth (disguise)  and combat mode, combat gives him more protection,  but cannot have disguises on it.
The scientist is the operator behind the agent. He has a camera console which he will spend most of his time at, allowing him to see most of the station from above. His science tool, when set to SCAN mode, can be used on station crew that he sees through the cameras to steal their appearance and add it to the database of disguises for the agent. It is encouraged to scan as many people as you can when the opportunity presents itself. The science tool can also be set to MARK mode, which will add whoever you marked to your buffer. Anybody in your buffer can then be manipulated via your camera console, meaning you can teleport them to your UFO, or send them to anywhere on the station that you can see through cameras. Your agent can be marked through cameras! However, with human subjects, you must manually go to the station and stand next to them, as well as wait a few seconds while the marking tool adds them to the buffer.
Now, you are ready to go, let your agent know where he is going in and discuss a safe word, this can be said quickly to give a signal that it has gone south, an example would be "RED"  as soon as the scientist hears it,  he should beam the agent up ASAP. REMEMBER TO KEEP YOUR AGENT TAGGED FOR TELEPORTATION, you can only teleport marked targets.


As an agent, you have no control over your vest, you do have a pistol (a VERY last resort item) a comms silencer and a large pink stun stick with different modes
What this essentially means is that the agent and the scientist are a tag team. The scientist finds a human to abduct, and gets a disguise that would suit the situation for the agent. The scientist marks the agent and warps him down to an area where he will be able to access the target. The agent then has to subdue the target and get him to an isolated area. Then, through his camera console, the scientist can warp himself down to the target and mark it. The scientist has an implant (with a minor cooldown) that instantly warps him back to the UFO. Once the target is marked, he uses this implant, then uses his console to bring the target to the UFO. Then, if needed, he can mark the agent through the cameras and retrieve him, as well. Once the target is safely in the UFO, the surgery can begin (for steps to complete the surgery, see the guide to it below). Remember that you can buckle cuffed subjects to the surgery table, should they wake up and attempt to resist.
STUN
SLEEP
RESTRAIN
PROBE


Restrain lets you cuff people by clicking them with the baton, sleep makes them  sleep after a short delay, stun acts like a stunbaton and probe lets you check the species of your target, whether that be, abductor, changeling or lizard it also shows if they have a gland inserted (by other aliens).
During surgery, feel free to torment the subject or steal from it. The important thing is that you get an experimental gland into it and that it does not die. Once the surgery is done and the gland is in, put the subject into the Experiment Machinery (see more on that below, under Ship Equipment). Push some buttons to complete the experiment, and bam, the subject will be taken back to the station via teleporter and you earn one experimentation point. Experimentation points are the things you must collect to complete your objective. If you lose equipment, such as the agent's baton, you can spend your points to get new ones, but this subtracts the points from the total counting towards your objective.


=Capturing Hoomins 101=
'''In point format:'''


First off,  have your scientist find a nice, Isolated human, a good place to look is the chef (In his back room) or the virologist, he will tag you with his science stick and send you down,  Now here you have two options,  RAMBO,  or the closet,  a Rambo-lien will charge in and use sheer robustness to nab the target, he will use a stun,  disable comms sleep cuff combo in a fury of clicks.  
*Scientist uses science tool in SCAN mode to collect disguises
*Scientist tells agent where he'll be warped in to and who to try to abduct/watch out for
*Agent is teleported in by scientist and stuns, sleeps, and cuffs the target
*If the agent fails and is in danger, the scientist (if he has already marked the agent with the science tool in MARK mode) can recall him to the UFO
*If the agent succeeds, he takes the target to a secluded area where scientist comes in and uses the science tool in MARK mode to mark the target
*Scientist uses his implant and returns to the ship, then uses his console to recall the target and the agent
*Surgery is done and agent loots whatever he may need off the target. Target is placed in experimentation machine and sent back to the station.
*The process repeats as many times as necessary.


This tactic is good when the target DOES NOT have stun weapons and is not very combat effective.  
'''Important things you want to do before anything else:''' Scientist: Mark your agent by using your science tool in MARK mode. Gather disguises through the observation console by using your science tool in SCAN mode. Agent: Sync your agent armor up with the abductor console. Discuss a plan with your scientist. Agree on a safeword to use if the agent needs urgent warping out of danger.


Or there is the closet,  where you wait for him to leave,  beam in,  hide in the locker and stun them when they come in,  this is very reliable for single target takedowns but is terrible against mutliple targets,  always comm silence the victim before getting your scientist to tag him.
'''Other stuff you should think about doing but don't have to (tips):''' Consider warping into medbay stealthily to steal a medkit or two in the event that the agent gets harmed. Consider warping into the armory stealthily to steal weapons if needed. Consider warping to the AI core to take it out if it proves to be an issue.


=Field abduction as a scientist=
===Goals===
 
Your overall objective is to kidnap and experiment on given number of station inhabitants and acquire the designated number of experimentation points.  
Now the agent has put a person to sleep,  time to go in yourself,  simply tag yourself,  beam in,  select  mark mode on the tool,  whack the person (this takes a few seconds so be sure you are safe),  then use your EMERGENCY BEAM implant on the top actions bar to go back,  then teleport the marked person in,  dump them on the table and you are good to go!.
=== Experimental Dissection ===
 
Now either beam your agent back to help you or give him a new disguise and keep him in the field.
 
=The Surgery=
So you have captured yourself a human..AWESOME!! now it's time to play with their organs!
(Do make sure they don't get back up during surgery,  have the agent spam them with his baton on sleep mode if needs be)

So now that your done with the surgery you will want to stick them back into the teleporter, and send them back to the station to ''poop'' eggs,  one does this via the experimental machinery where one can earn points towards thier goal.

=Abductor Agent=
==Abductor Agent==
You're the strong man!  Iron man away!  You go out and capture the ones your scientist tells you too
[[File:Agent.png|64px]]
(you are the braun, not brains)
===Duties===
You're the strong arm of the team, you're the one who will spend more time station-side kidnapping humans.
Teleport in, incapacitate a human and secure the area for scientist arrival.
Keep in mind that while you are the one that will frequently be in combat, communication with your fellow scientist is still very important, as they control what disguises are available to you, the mode of your vest, and are able to warp you out of danger in a pinch. Remember to communicate!

| Using this vest mode will allow you to take on form of any human your scientist teammate added to the database. Be careful however this disguise is very fragile and any damage will reveal your true identity. Disguise is chosen using ship-side console. This vest mode is more commonly used, as it allows you to be more stealthy, and is more useful for sneaking up to isolated targets to abduct them.

| Use these to capture the specimens for research. You must use an intent other then 'Help' for this to work. It has several different modes that can be toggled through and can't be used by humans, making it very useful as your main abducting tool. It has a stun mode which acts as a regular stun baton would, a sleep mode which will cause an already stunned human to go unconscious, a cuff mode which applies disposable alien handcuffs, and a probe mode, which tells you more details about the subject it's used on. Remember, when abducting: Stun, Sleep, Cuff.

=Abductor Scientist=
===Duties===
So your the <strike>Surgeon</strike> I mean... Organ taker!  You help your partner, by marking and giving disguises to him, along with taking organs from the captured humans!
You're the support member of the team. The observation console is your main base of operations: Use it to gather disguises, control agent's vest, warp people in and out of the station/UFO, warp yourself to the station, and also to simply monitor station activity and look for an isolated target. You are also generally the one in charge of experimental surgeries.
 
You will also have to go to station to mark humans secured by the agent for retrieval. Be vary careful, as you are the only link back to the UFO, and if you are caught and die while on station then your mission has failed. Remember to use your teleporter implant if danger presents itself for a quick retreat.

| In this mode the tool will mark humans or agents for retrieval. You must be immediately next to a human/lizard if you're marking them for abduction, and the marking process takes a good few seconds in which you are vulnerable. With your agent, however, the marking process is instant and can be done through the observation console, meaning that you can warp your agent out of danger in a pinch without putting yourself at any risk.

| This mode will add the targeted person's look to disguises database. Can be done through cameras. If you scan the same person again after they've changed clothing, their appearance will update in the database. Keep in mind that if you cuff someone for abduction and then scan them, the handcuffs will appear in the disguise, which looks very suspicious.

==Abductee or Insanity 101==
Your insane what are you talking about?!?
So you were kidnapped and experimented on by aliens? Who'd have expected that! Your mind did not get through this even unscathed and you feel like there's something wrong with your body. Try to complete your objectives and maybe you'll learn what's going on here.


In other words, you have been given a ticket to make the round more fun. This is somewhat reliant on roleplay. Just go along with it and be the crazy alien-lunatic that you now are.
