You should control the flockbit that spawnes when you have gnesis in your bloodstream

[RocketBoss360]

It should work kina like nanites, you are infected, it converts your body into a flockbit and you control the flockbit. to prevent self-antagging when a flockmind is around (flockbits only do anything gameplay wise if there aren't any flockdrones) then the flockbits would be under the flockminds control and flocktrader ship would not spawn.
