LadyDanger2743: Added a "Station Infrastructure" metashield. Fixed the "Goals" and "Nuclear Operatives" metashields to clarify all antagonists with goals (Space Ninja, Space Dragon, Paradox Anomaly) and to allow crew to know of the Nuclear Operatives' primary goal. Changed "Round End" metashield to be always revealed IC. Tweaked Goals metashield to be more concise as to which goals can be acted upon.

	To be ~~added~~		This section clarifies a concept protected by a variety of metashields that should never be revealed IC. Giving a person or their character preferential treatment based on something your character should not know is considered metafriending. Treating a person or character negatively based on something that your character should not know is considered metagrudging. Not only are both protected by the metashields, both are not allowed under our rules.

			# Trusting a character with sensitive information or equipment.
			# Not fighting a character when your job or circumstances would dictate you should..

Something that is "shielded" cannot be known by your character during around until the "breaking" condition happens. This also means your character cannot act upon shielded information.
