| + | : It's hard to say exactly what they do. The problem with getting infected through the mouth is that the helmets aren't exposed around the mouth - although with the X-Com Disrupter helmet, we can always assume it can break through the glass. The neck on the other hand seems more likely because it's basically resting along the seam between the helmet and the torso and is much less protected. Perhaps all it needs to do is rip enough of the protection off to get the proboscis close enough to the nasal and mouth passages. At close proximity, the micronoids can then be sprayed into the host. I'm just making this up as I'm reminded of the micronoid rain, which is air dropped onto a building. - [[User:NKF|NKF]] 12:40, 22 August 2008 (PDT) | ||
