about A. encephalos. Why?
Because it lets us learn
more about you *winky face*

Method of Control (Abridged)
1. The slug attaches to the host's brain
2. The slug releases a hypnotic slime to cover the brain
3. The slug interfaces with the brain via neural tendrils
(figure 1c)
4. After ~12 hours the slug begins actively manipulating
host thoughts
5. The slug begins stimulating the host's natural reward
pathway. Hosts often experience immense pleasure and an
overwhelming urge to submit and surrender to the
slugs
6. The host is now indoctrinated and may directly
communicate with the nearest Homehive
The slug takes priority control and command
of the host's brain.
So much better to let it think
for me

For the future I'd like to know, though; would it be better to just do it for all handwritten things regardless of clarity?
