## Notes

Company employees who are a part of the Space Milk Cult can be recognized by the purple, swirling bottle of space milk that is on their belt. Cultists discard their bottle only after they have finished chugging it's milky contents. Spacemen tend to enjoy the path of the cultist since their trusty space milk is an effective "get out of jail free" card for bad situations. Drinking space milk will also remove any face huggers attached to the cultist, however it will not affect their chances of having a parasite laid inside them. (How do you drink milk with a big alien bug on your face? Only the cult knows how.) With proper timing, a spacemen cultist can even teleport to safety after being forcibly shoved into an E.M.E.. The tax for cheating death can be readily felt for a cultist after teleporting, since they can no longer provide critical information to their fellow spacemen, not to mention all the strange purple sprites that will be around the spacemen's head for the remainder of the round. This can be circumvented somewhat with clever use of the emote wheel to convey some information on what caused the cultist to chug away. THEY WILL PRAISE OUR ETERNAL LORD CEO JUB HE IS THE BRIGHT DARK FUTURE HE HAS PREPARED FOR US.

Monster Cultists are tricky, since the have an additional tool at their disposal when they are cornered by the spacemen. Their immunity to the milk’s effects make finding them again much more difficult, since they now appear as a normal spaceman. However, the max health reduction still applies, making combat in spaceman form risky. Even still, it is better to sacrifice a bit of health in exchange for your survival.

BRIGADE PSA: To our operatives stationed in Company facilities, be wary of the Space Milk Cult! Do not be allured by their bottles of purple, swirly, delicious chocolate milk! In addition to organic milk, it is made from several substances known to drastically shorten your health. There are other escape methods that are more consisent than Space Milk, such as vents, locking doors, and the Translocator. Do not sacrifice your life, sanity, and language to a cause that we are battling against. For the Homeworld.

## Trivia

* You can not use or exchange other Gear Items until your Space Milk is used.
* You can still use emotes after having drank the Space Milk.
* During the teleporting process, the player is transported to a space, facing Jub’borith. He glows blue for Spacemen and the Monster, but is an intense, disapproving red for traitors.
