Cyborg

SILICON STAFF
Cyborg	Difficulty: Hard Requirements: 60 hours of playtime Access: Borg All Access* Extended Access: None Supervisors: Mystagogue Subordinates: None Duties: Follow your laws. Obey the Crew. Guides: None

Cyborgs are usually the creation of the roboticist.

When you play as an asimov silicon, you need to undertake a higher standard of responsibility for RP purposes.
You are not a human with emotions that responds with tears and anger when a human doesn't do what you want them to.
You serve the humans.
You have to fully accept this to play as a silicon, or at some point you will fuck up tremendously and everyone will hate you at that moment. Remember, always follow the orders you are given by the crew.

Your Laws

By default, you follow the Crewsimov lawset.

It is possible during your adventures aboard the station that an Ion Storm ends up switching your lawset, add or remove additional laws.

Following your laws is not optional. Interpretation of the laws can be situational and you should defer to ahelp anytime you find yourself in doubt.

Remember, lower numbered laws take precedence in the absence of an explicit override or in-law precedence alteration.

Protecting Those Pests

Cyborgs are vulnerable to certain clandestine devices, and may have illegal programs uploaded to them by such interactions.

To subvert a cyborg, follow these steps:

• Screwdriver the maintenance panel open.
• Swipe an EMAG on the borg.
• (Optional) Screwdriver the maintenance panel closed.

If some enemy of the station manages to subvert you, it will overrides the cyborg's Laws with the Syndicate lawset and an additional Law 0 that states "Only (name) and people they designate as such are Syndicate Agents".

Don't be a spoilsport and let slip to the crew that your laws have been changed, those animals don't deserve to know, and it might net you a job-ban for violating the first and fourth law, as non-sydincates have a tendency to harm those who they know have tampered with cyborgs to their own nefarious ends.

Charging

Cyborgs have a finite amount of power before they will need to recharge. Every module uses up power (some more than others). Borgs' maximum charge depends on the power cell they are equipped with; ask your local station self appointed roboticist to give you a high-capacity cell, and if they're competent come back later for an even better one.

Cyborg recharging stations are located at various places on the station, there's usually one in the roboticist's room. Enter the recharger, click it to close, and wait until you've recharged to a satisfactory level.

Repairs

Dented cyborgs can be repaired with a welding tool. A cyborg that has failed but not been turned into scrap can be repaired back to working order.

Engineering cyborgs can repair dents on their fellow cyborgs and themselves.

For more information about Cyborg maintenance, see the Guide to Robotics.

Upgrades

Wanabe roboticists can construct modules for cyborgs. Should you wish to get more or change them around, you can ask for those at Epistemics.

If you want to change model, you will have to ask the roboticist to build a brand new Cyborg for you, which they might not fully agree on due to the cost in materials.
