+This should NOT be displayed to the player while in-game, to increase anxiety (did I trip the alarm 4 times or only 3???). Player should get a HUD notification (!!GRUNK ALERT!!) when increasing, and the previous alert-level should be shown when resetting at the safe zone.

+Grunk is a weird blueish alien slime, similar to Starcraft's zerg creep or Minecraft's sculk. It spreads like a slime mold, infesting whatever it touches.
+
+The player is employed (sentenced) to harvest grunk, which is a somewhat valuable commodity used in the production of "blue avocado" artificial flavoring.

+## #mechanics
+
+Grunk can be cleared using the [[spray beam]] or [[chisel]]. #mechanics components must have a continuous [[grunk]] connection to an [[alarm]] to activate it.
