Voice Analyzers can change mode when hit by a multitool; they have the classic mode, the case sensitive mode, a mode where it checks the speaker rather than the message, or a mode where it simply pulses when it hears someone speak.

Changelings acquire the race of their transform target, so you can become an android or slimeman etc. at will as long as you have them in storage. So you can sting a golem and forget that shitty flesh hardsuit power. Transforming into plasmamen is instead a bad idea.

There's hardly much to learn for ash walkers, which will be the primary users of these. Golems can either make ash-proof golems or build areas outright, miners have capsules, podpeople have issues outside even without a storm, and ops have lava to worry about if they feel like walking out.
