Originally, the Thing's special ability was to 'play dead', 'play possum' which is in the research. Then Zaki said he didn't get any PM telling him about it and DK started burning bodies and since the Thing was adaptable, the special ability was changed to infect someone. DK had this last research:
Actually, the Thing only managed 2 kills.
Arundel the Escape Artist / Scientist is attacked and killed
D'Espana the Mercenary / Psychologist is attacked and killed
The humans took care of the rest. 
I had to, my research did said they are scared of fire and would die from it (don't ask me for the reports, I already deleted it). And go humans!
Seriously, Trust No One, Suspect Everyone was the HARDEST CLUE. Velax and Lefanis interrogate me, just for the sole purpose of whether they want to reveal their information to me. And because of the title clue, I was scared that Ketchum is The Thing early on cause he was the first to approach me. But I have to say kudos to Lefanis, seriously. He told Velax that he is The Thing to buy some time, truly an amazing tactic
Could be used in the future, hohohoho.....
