	So, you're a swarmer. The first thing to realize is that '''you are weak'''. You have very low health, cannot easily ward off threats, and anyone who sees you on the station will most likely either immediately attack you, or call for someone who will. It is imperative that you remain undetected for as long as possible. '''Remember, you can ventcrawl.''' This includes crawling through scrubbers. On top of that, '''you can disable cameras by using Disintegrate on them.''' Combine both of these and you can act as a hidden infestation on the station until you can build up your numbers. Investing in a barrier or trap to stall for time while you scramble into a vent is usually worth it, but remember that you are leaving proof behind that there are Swarmers on the station. If you can't scramble into a vent, run! Run over tables, expend resources on traps and barriers, and get away as fast as possible, so you can get back to eating.		So, you're a swarmer.

	So you've replicated enough that you have four or five swarmers. At this point, you can begin to eat away at departments, and ward off unorganized mobs. If you're sick of security taking pot shots at you with lasers, eat their rechargers~~. Eating the cloning array might "convince" a few unactivated swarmers into booting up~~. A little sabotage can go a long way. Remember, your strength lies in numbers. Even if you have the opportunity to chase down a target, don't do so without backup, or you might regret it. Bunker up with the rest of your swarm in a location and start eating everything you can get your hands on.		So you've replicated enough that you have four or five swarmers.
