##Starting your own slug farm Which came first, the slug or the egg? Why, the egg of course. One of these eggs can be found in the containment of xenobiology but needs some special care before it can hatch. An egg needs plasma in the atmosphere and is dependent on an unknown phenomenon that has been linked to the random rotation of chairs for it to hatch. Plasma is highly flammable so one should be careful when releasing it. Raising the inital release pressure of a plasma tank by 1kPa should be enough to get plasma into the air while minimizing the risk.
A hatched slug can lay more eggs after some time.
##Being infested Being a host is easy. You can just sit back and let your slug do all the work. You can communicate with it if you speak or whisper but others might think you are crazy and drag you to the therapist. As long as you don't piss it off enough to make it look for another host or get it removed, it will be happy to create useful medicines for you in exchange for its own safety. Sometimes it just doesn't work out though so you should visit a surgeon if you want it removed.
##Being a slug You are weak and slow but you can hide and use the vents to change locations. Your first goal should be to find a nice host to live in. You can't speak or hear and you die easily so care should be taken when approaching a suitable host.
Once you have settled in a warm and cozy skull you'll start producing chemicals which can be used to help your host out a little. You can also speak to your host and only the host will hear it or you can chat with your other friends using ;.
##Being special Sometimes a slightly more advanced slug is born. It is different in that it can inject its host with harmful chemicals and even take over its body until it runs out of chemicals.
