Let blobs hear deadchat

[Sundance]

Let blobs have a hivemind instead.   dead ghosties they absorbed can warn them of incoming dangers.... maybe even let them spawn as couple things.

This is a decent compromise. 

As far as the other suggestion, I always liked the idea of the absorbed being able to assist the blob, in a muted way similar to changeling. 

Something simple as being respawned as a globule that can only move around the blob and can spit disarming projectiles. Having an extra pair of eyes and ears is useful, but it might get OP if the blob eats too much of the crew, so I would suggest that it only gets to spawn these globules max 3 at a time, while the rest of the absorbed wait in lieu and communicating what they see as ghosts (or not, if they're salty like ling husks)
