SoldierMessage
{
You are now a soldier. Try to follow orders from your commander, and do your best to keep the enemy from killing your teammates or destroying your structures.
You are fighting the marine invaders! Marines respawn at infantry portals - to win the game, you must destroy all their infantry portals and then kill all remaining marines.
Left-click or marquee-select players and right-click a location, structure or player to give them an order. The menu in the lower right lets you build structures and equip your soldiers.

Leave the game and go back to the ready room. This will let you switch teams, observe the game, or take a break. Note that excessive Ready Room idling is often frowned upon.
If the commander is deliberately trying to ruin the game, select this to vote the commander out of the command console. If enough votes are received, he will be ejected for the rest of the game.

You gain invisibility. Fast movements will increase your opacity. Attacks, proximity to observatories and scanner sweeps will uncloak you. Use your cloaking indicator to see how cloaked you are
Gestate into a Skulk. This is a fast, small alien that is best suited for one on one combat, harassment and guerilla tactics. Can climb walls (disable with the "duck" key)
