Abductors

Abductors are an alien society set on cataloging and experimenting on the sectors personnel. Its important to note: Abductors, unlike most antagonists are NOT set on killing people and are rather purely interested in completing their experiments.

Abductors do not possess the ability to speak and therefore communicate through more... mime-like methods.

Abduction

Abductors begin on their ship somewhere near the station. Using the "Human Observation Console" you can seek out victims who are alone and warp near them to begin abduction.

The wonderprod is the primary tool of an Abductor. It has four modes you will use for abduction: - [[{Stun}]] Stuns the victim for roughly 5 seconds. - [[{Restrain}]] binds the victims hands in weak cables. - [[{Sleep}]] Induces a sleep-like state in the victim. - [[{Harm}]] Burns the target, dealing damage. [bold]ONLY USE IF YOU MUST.[/bold]

Once a target is immobilized you can use the [italic]gizmo[/italic] to implant them with a nano tracker, return to your ship using the return action, then use the gizmo on your Abductor Console.

Experimentation

Once you have linked the most recent nano tracker to the console, select [bold]{ATTRACT}[/bold] to warp your victim to your ship.

Now that you have your victim aboard, its recommended you: - Buckle them to your surgical table. - Change out their cuffs for a higher grade of handcuffs provided on the ship. - Remove any of their belongings that could damage you or the secrecy of the experiment. - Use your vast surgical knowledge to replace their heart with a gland. - Optionally: Give them back their primitive technology.

Finally, drag the victim whom you have completed your experiment on into the Experimentator to confirm the results of the experiment on the Abductor Console and send them back where you found them.

Getting rid of an Abductor

Like [textlink="Changelings" link="Changelings"], Abductors are not protected by [textlink="space law" link="SpaceLaw"] and are able to be executed freely.

Also, an abductor's ship is a physical object in the world, anyone with access to a space-faring ship such as [textlink="salvage" link="Salvage"] can bump into them in space and dismantle their ship.
