Metalhorror
INTRO TEXT
Acquisition
Metalhorrors can be found in infected pawns.
Summary
Metalhorrors are entities that infect other creatures, creating more of themselves as they do. It is possible to test pawns in order to find out who is hosting a Metalhorror. Upon detection, Metalhorrors will cut their way out of their hosts, leaving them wounded and bleeding.
Analysis
Metalhorrors subtly manipulate their hosts, looking for opportunities to spread to others, and making them lie about test results if the tester is infected. Communal areas and shared bedrooms do most of the work for Metalhorrors, giving them ample opportunity to spread.
Detection
Paramedics 
can never become infected or lie about test results, so they can be used to test for Metalhorror infections safely.
If you don't have a paramedic, the following procedure can be done:
- Have 2 doctors
- The instant you become aware of a Metalhorror infection, have doctor 1 check someone other than doctor 2
- If they find an infection, doctor 1 is clear.
- If they do not, have doctor 2 check the patient
- if they find an infection, doctor 1 is infected
- If they do not, have doctor 1 check again
- if doctor 1 finds an infection, doctor 2 is infected
- if doctor 1 does not, then either both doctors are clear or both are infected.
In the event of total infection, a sufficient number of Mechanoids can safely clear out the revealed Metalhorrors, as long as the Mechanitors they are linked to is still alive.
