One of Us - Changelings and You

[atomic1fire]

That said, I think it would be cool if Ling could make it's own "drones" that could talk to it and hide in vents and disposal units. But that might be too derivative of an idea.

Imagine having a drone hide in brig and serve as the ling's eyes and ears though, occasionally knocking out sec officers for the ling to eat. Or maybe leave them as blobs of flesh that serve as snitches.

Is it headcrab or headspider? I'm going with headspider...

Headspider 2.0, dispatch absorbed dna (and corresponding player) into a headspider or random limb spider that can spread out and potentially attach itself to another player becoming a second ling. It would give away that there's a ling on station, the ling would lose an identity and eyes/ears, and adds a little excitement. 

Ling: "Doctor plese help. I need a new arm. I lost it in a skateboarding accident."
Poor Assistant Over Radio: "A disembodied arm just crawled past me in the maintenence tunnels. It's cute... I think it wants to play. Aaaah!"
Doctor: "...." 
Doctor: "Security!"

Or in typical ss13 fashion the doctor wouldn't read what the assistant said and gives the ling bear arms.

I know it may never happen, but I have this image of security hastly trying to catch a leg hopping around the station. Or a buttspider.


As for the original idea of changeling having a group of voices in his head I'm okay with that.
