This is probably destined to fall down to the depths of the suggestion forum as most idea's but I'll throw it out anyway.
I was thinking of a way that lings could be used in the test chamber for experimenting (rather than the test chamber being used for bombs and what not) and here's two idea's speciically for lings:
1) Like holy water to vampire, unstable mutagen to a ling effects them differently. It forces them to shuffle their
appearance randomly of those they absorbed, at the cost of no dna. This does not work when the ling is dead.
Now your probably wondering why this is any use, until you realize
2)The blood drawn from the ling used to create stable mutagen now can be used to clone the victim the ling was appearing as.
The stable mutagen is simply injected in a dead host (a left-over cadaver from robotics/genetics, or if you know how
through chemistry, or through murdering shitty bill, OR bodies may be generated from petri dishes whenever pathology is introduced) and cloned.
The advantages are clear: People won't outright murder the ling, they'll attempt to contain it and experiment on it, thus the ling has a playing card in this.
The test chamber will have a new cool function, and that surgery bed will have a newer meaning. That and people have a chance to be cloned once absorbed. Of course this could go horribly wrong, the ling could escape and eat the cloned individuals and everyone else for that matter, but that's the beauty of it.
