As a disclaimer: it's not my idea and I accidentally stumbled on it in a mod but I think it has amazing story and roleplay potential and plays off established tropes (e.g. the Terminator movie). It also gives a new purpose and reason to keep pets. If an animal happens to nuzzle a colonist with a metal horror in it, there is a chance it will sense the metal horror and will act weird, and if there happens to be another non-infected colonist nearby, there is a chance they will spot it.
