## About The Pull Request

[Design Document (Read this for more
information)](https://hackmd.io/@L9JPMsZhRO2wI25rNI6GYg/rkYKM9Yc6)

This PR adds Spies as a new roundstart antagonist type, inspired by
Spy-Thiefs from Goonstation.

Spies are tasked with stealing various objects around the station, from
insulated gloves to the black box, from the clown's left leg to the
bridge's communications console.

For every item stolen, the Spy is rewarded with a random item from the
Syndicate Uplink, plus some items uniquely available to the Spy. Stolen
items are then shipped off and sold on the Black Market Uplink, allowing
the crew - or maybe some other evil-doers - to get their hands on them.

More ideas for theft items and bounties are welcome. 

## Why It's Good For The Game

See the design document for more information. 

In short: Adds a solo antagonist which has less impact than your
Traitors and Heretics, but more impact than Paradox Clones and Thieves.
In other words: On the same tier as old traitors.

Seeks to embrace the sandbox aspect of antagonists more by having no
precise greentext objective, and instead some suggestions for chaos you
can embark in. Have fun with it!
