Yes, you cant.

Nothing a little invasive surgery or parasitic reconfigurement cant fix.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

I do intend to do something similar to that or something, but I don't want another STAN, mainly for the reason that Xan's very concerned with his survival, though he isn't worried about individual bodies dying. He wants the mental pattern that makes up his mind, and thus imprints himself on reality, to continue existing no matter what, and STAN was something different from Xan entirely.
Of course I'll also have to get around the fact that I can't alter my still-human brain at my core, but that's essential for game balance.

Have you accounted for the fact that, if you're not careful, you won't be revived again? Having a clone on ice doesn't help much if people decide it's too much of a liability to 'keep around' so to speak. And since your last death was quite public, and detrimental to the cause...

@Dumbo
Im not sure where that "random xeno parts" part came from so im gonna have to ask for a citation there.
As long as ive played this game xeno-spit has always been a specific alien enzyme, not a meat smoothie.
Here, I linked to it in my last post, in fact.
Course, looking at the Pill machine's back-story, I'm not too sure (As it mentions a Xeno-Spit Enzyme, but that could just be a term that was just picked up), but I don't think SynthFlesh Spinal Fluid would have different effects depending on if you took it from a different batch of SynthFlesh.
Course, I don't know much about SynthFlesh at all, so shame on me if i'm giving false information.

More precisely, I'm gonna figure out how to clone clones that have extensive Med skill or capacity to learn - basically to make a version of myself that's minmaxed mentally towards medical skill, train a bunch under the Doctor, and then operate on essentially myself to figure out if I can unrestrict my shapeshifting ability from the brain. Probably gonna have to work with the Doc on this.

That's why I'm keeping myself undercover instead of pulling off all this grandoise bullshit I'm speculating about here for now - once I've dropped off a few clones everywhere I see fit I can act more freely.
plus that implies there isn't already more than one of me running around

On that note I think I'm going to be acting a lot more nice towards Xan.
Perhaps we could assign a Handler to Xan, who goes on missions with him and watches him at all times, for safety reasons.

Why do you think I'm so friendly towards you?
You think that it was just a coincidence that I came into the game and immediately tried to buddy buddy with you? Pshh, please.

We'll see, I guess. You got me 1/10th of the way toward a perfect decomp, so that's a plus in my books.
If decomps are still a thing. We'll seem I guess.

The one copy of me that happens to be there at the time. If I hadn't STAN'd, I would've left a clone or three of myself on Kano.
Repeat for every world we visit, and especially once I get either a decompensator or the rolling system changes over and I'll be a plague on the universe.
Did you get that idea from data assassination team got? Because it almost sounds like Doctor all over again.
Data assassination team got? Dunno what that is, but no, just thought of it independently.
Brother Lars did read mind of their target during Mission 13, and discovered things about the Doc. Like how Doc was seen in many places at same time.

He meant a post on the subforum that has that info by word of piecewise.
And it does contain enzymes. Says so in the label and in the website of the manufacturer.

Oh!
No, I've had this idea ever since I figured out I could clone myself.

Hey, why don't you just splinter off another Xan, programming him to act like a distracting snarky asshole, and then continue on as Dan, working on actual plans and stuff?

Or! Eat somebody braindead on the ship, impersonate their shape, and put Dan in free mode, being obviously Xan and whatnot. Get back to the roots of your concept, you know?

All mainly because with the way my stats are right now I can't shapeshift and mantain my cover because the moment I roll a dice I'm gonna hulk out or something and my Xan-ness will be known. Therefore I need to wait until all the rich people are back on board so I can mooch 9 tokens off of them.

Okay then, let's see...
Well, using the search function, I can only find one question relating to Xeno-Spit, in the ER Talk Number: Whatever I forgot. and I'm looking through the talk now.
Edit: Oh, wrong one, I'm onto number 5 now.

I meant a citation on the source of the information, not the wiki entry.
Judging by whats written it appears the person writing the article had no idea which part of the body its from, not that it comes from random aliens.

I think the effects vary based on the consumer, not the batch. Not everyone is gonna hallucinate the same thing and not everyone is gonna resist it to the same extent.
