This week we have space babies on the brain as Aucturn is about to deliver this year! What to expect when a giant space womb/egg is expecting?
Did the devs say Aucturn is hatching this year? O_O

It's part of the transititon to SF2e metaplot.

Eewwwwww.
Alright, here's some brainstorming.
1. Heaving fleshquakes
2. Eruptions of ichor
3. Ichor that has subtly or radically different effects on drinkers, than before.
4. Orocoroans behaving very differently from before. Most are unusually energetic.
5. Strange sounds you can feel through your boots.
6. Weird, indescribable smells permeate the breathable air in the domed cities. Each city acquires a different smell. None are pleasant to offworlders but nobody can agree what they smell like.
7. Sinkholes and flesh-movements that swallow up people, animals, objects, and sometimes whole vehicles.
8. Landmarks and patches of landscape that have changed color and/or texture. Fleshy growths may develop.
9. Buildings in a city rearrange when the PCs aren't looking. The resulting arrangement is sometimes "wrong":
9a. Geometrically impossible (buildings or rooms occupying the same space, or with their gravity oriented contrary to the planet surface, or larger or smaller on the inside, or internal and external angles no longer match).
9b. Looks like an optical illusion.
9c. Internal and external angles of buildings change without damaging materials.
9d. Building materials change to flesh or something unidentifiable.
9e. Some parts become incorporeal, including everything and everyone they contain. Even the air inside turns incorporeal.
9f. Unnameable, subtle wrongness that seems to disappear if you focus on or look directly at it. Causes vertigo and confusion.
10. Things that affect ichor-drinkers and Aucturn-cultists more often than other people:
10a. Nightmares. They range from disturbing to outright sanity blasting.
10b. Waves of emotion. Most are indescribable and confusing. Those that can be named are usually deep awe, anticipation, excitement, dread, fear, and joy.
10c. Urges to do random, bizarre, inexplicable things. 65% chance the person forgets about it after doing it.
10d. Seizures
10e. Hallucinations
10f. Mutations
11. A sense of impending doom. Get off the planet, NOW!
12. The ichor, or a strange cloud, heals an injured character but also causes a small mutation or change in personality, or grants an ugly (but useful) biomod to the healed body part. Will they accept the gift of Aucturn, or get it removed ASAP?
This seems like a good time to use the Corruption system from Everyman Games.
