imported>Angust: /* Possible Glands */ Added "true name" column to list of abuctor glands. I wish I had done that before yesterday. Sprites are completely randomized on spawn, oh my god. Next would be to add two more columns for their mind control stats.

 ====Vest Stealth and Combat Mode====
-Human Observation Console and Abductor Console can be used to toggle your vest between stealth and combat mode. If in stealth mode, the agent clicking their "Activate" hud icon turn the currently selected disguise on or off. If in combat mode, clicking the "Activate" button will instantly remove all stuns, which has a long cooldown. The abductor console can also be used to "unlock" the vest, making you able to take it off.

-Here is a detailed guide to being the best alien duo in the galaxy. If you are in a hurry, skip to the [[#Abductor_Quick_Guide|Abductor Quick Guide]]. First of all, abductors cannot speak in the conventional sense. Instead, they share a telepathic link with other member of the expedition ship (the UFO). Talking is automatically converted to telepathy. This is important because it means that regardless of the situation, you have a link to your partner that you can communicate through. Remember to communicate!
