Creating Corrupted Abominations - a Step by Step Guide for Researchers

You want to make a corrupted abomination? you want to get epic medals? defeat the predcord? This guide will tell you how to do it:

Part 1 - Getting Papers and Chem ready, Prep.

to pull this off, you’ll need the following:

5x clearance, egg plasma, royal plasma, an egg (corrupted works fine), monkeys, thwei, an easy-to-make chemical with 3+ properties. and a translator chemical (optional, but without it communication is difficult).

by the time you create a corrupted hive, you’ll have gotten most of these already, and the only thing you’ll need is thwei, which can only be gotten from the following sources:

  • grinding healing crystals from predators (even spent ones)
  • vials

scan it, grab the paper, relate in the CrossMetabolizing (XMB) property into your ciphering chemical. this will result in the creation of PCI, which you then amplify to level 2. when the chemical’s done, it’ll look something like this

this chemical, when 10u is injected into an egg, will corrupt it (not to be confused with corrupted hive), causing the hugger it spawns to create a predalien larva.

Create 10u of your PCI2 chem (you DID remember to make it easy to make, right?). Grab a syringe (one spawns in your labcoat), get an egg from your local corrupted queen (you DID bargain an alliance, right)?
remove 10u of egg plasma from the egg using the syringe, dump it into a beaker and forget about it. inject 10u of your PCI2 chemical into the egg, and it will suddenly mutate (sprite stays the same).
now it will have the name prefix of corrupted. this is added before the hive prefix, meaning that if you use a corrupted (hive) egg, the full name of the egg will be corrupted corrupted egg.

Plant your special egg seperately from the rest, wait for it to grow, have it infect a monkey.
have the monkey nested, and then wait.
Congratulations! it’s an abomination!

Part 2 - The Hunt

If they haven’t already, the admins have caught on to what you’re doing. they have likely already enabled predator joining. The Hunt is on.

Every single corrupted xeno is in awe at what has happened, all of deadchat has concentrated their attention on what is occurring in research now. The Corrupted Hive is NEVER GOING TO BETRAY YOU AFTER THIS POINT.
When Predators arrive, they’ll make their presence known by breaking down the walls and trying to kill the Predaliens. This will cause the corrupted queen (preferably a prime empress) to deovi to protect the aboms…

If you scream enough on comms the XO/CO will announce “strange boarders are attacking our greenos!” or something along those lines. and you’ll get MPs along with marines all scrambling to help you hunt predators. United against 1 enemy (the predcord) even the biggest greeno haters will gladly work alongside a corrupted drone to shoot at aliens.

from here things will probably vary, so here’s a list of dos and don’ts
Do

  • grab your lifesaver bag
  • grab a medhud, discard your scigoggles
  • make extra translator chem
  • give your xenos IFF IMPORTANT
  • premed bicakelotram before every enagement with predators
  • stick with the greenos, use your monopoly on translator chem to act as a well, translator, for the greenos
  • steal pred gear
  • pack a defib, revive marines that got exploded.
  • tell the aboms to stay near their queen. hive together strong.

Don’t:

  • get your fractures fixed, you don’t have time for that
  • try to fight predators 1 on 1, screw that, you’ve got corrupted friends
  • deploy your greenos to groundside
  • stand next to a predator while there’s an ominous red circle above their head with a strange beeping noise

Part 3 - Predcord’s defeat

Predcord's Defeat

the predcord tried, and they failed. they’ve lost multiple members, the last members are too scared to attack directly, instead running around. at this point you’ve won, regardless of what way the round goes, you can confortably say that you’ve defeated the real enemy of the playerbase (the predcord). you’re likely to recieve medals for saving the operation (even though you never deployed) .


That’s all I have to say for this guide, good luck!

If you need help screaming to CIC about the imminent danger, you can always ask the CMO if they can lend you their spare headset for the time being. I noticed Leroy Webb (when he plays research) actually does this when I play CMO, and it’s actually been a huge relief for both of us.

Also, great guide!

Loved that round, had 2 abominations total. Good guide aswell.

Why didn’t you get the queen to also try capping preds so then the predcord has more enemies?

Some knowledge… should be kept hidden…
