Kobb: Updated formatting in mush tips, also cleaned up the text there (spelling fixes, named the skills being alluded to, more direct wording). A couple misc. edits on the side.

-Gioele's role is similar to {{Character|Stephen}}, which is to assist any area which is short-staffed. This typically involves helping in the Laboratory or Nexus but can also include relaying the [[PILGRED  Reactor]] advancement or scanning for planets. Stay active on the radio and see where you're needed most.

+Since he walks around the entire ship, {{Character|Mush}} Gioele has more opportunities to extract spores and spike people which makes him generally suspicious. On top of that, he often does not have any vital skill that people would be hesitant to lose. So always report how and when you get [[Dirty]] - or avoid it in the first place - to keep the crew off your back.

 == Useful tips ==
 * You are either first or second in line to replace the {{title|Commander}}. Be prepared to do that job if it falls to you.
 * As {{Skill|Caffeine Junkie}}, you'll want to the crew know you have this skill.  You get double the points anyone else would and that's a gain for the ship, so explain that they should leave coffee to you.
-* Before PILGRED completion, the coffee machine resets once at the beginning of every new day.  The NERON Project {{Project|Fission Coffee Roaster}} causes it to reset a second time at midday.  (This is not always easy to get though, as many other players will want other projects over this one for more direct ship benefit.)
+* Before PILGRED completion, the coffee machine resets once at the beginning of every new day.  The NERON Project {{Project|Fission Coffee Roaster}} causes it to reset a second time at midday.  (Many players will argue against investing in this one, since it becomes obsolete when PILGRED is finished.)
-** If {{Character|Chao}} or {{Character|Raluca}} are still around by the time the Mush are dead and PILGRED is finished, ask one of them to make the {{room|Refectory}} their base and pull your {{Item|Coffee}} for you, which allows you to get sleep as well, both in-game and in real life.
+** Once the Mush are dead and PILGRED is finished, the [[Coffee Machine]] can create fresh {{Item|Coffee}} every single cycle. You can do this yourself, or ask {{Character|Chao}} or {{Character|Raluca}} to make the {{room|Refectory}} their base and pull your {{Item|Coffee}} for you.
-*** Or, if still possible, you can lobby to have the {{item|Swedish Sofa}} built there.
+*** If possible, you can lobby to have a {{item|Swedish Sofa}} built in the Refectory. An active {{skill|Pilot}} is a good fit here, since they will still get bonus {{AP}} from sleeping, and won't be inconvenienced if the Coffee Machine makes them {{status|dirty}}.
 * The {{Skill|Paranoid}} skill gives you 2 extra cameras, but you might not want to take this skill right away.  Rather, wait until after mush selection so that you don't end up taking a skill that works against you. Also remember that cameras cannot be dropped, they can only be installed for 2 {{AP}}.
-** If you take the skill while not having enough room in your inventory, the cameras will be dropped, however, and sometimes even automatically installed.
+** If you take the skill while not having enough room in your inventory, the cameras will be knocked over onto the shelf. {{Bug|When {{Character|Mush}}, Gioele's cameras may disappear after being knocked over. Make sure you have 2 free spaces in your inventory, or this bug will give you away when the humans try to locate the missing camera(s).}}
 * Don't get tunnel vision on one job. Gioele's strength is his versatility, put it to good use.
 * Consider using the {{Item|Anti-Grav Scooter}} to zip around the ship. Combined with a cup of hot java, this is a great way of finding fires and broken equipment around the ship.
