	Effectively, you are an assistant on steroids, and need not fear any electrical things with your gloves. You can, however, affect the station, for good or for ill, much more profoundly than a mere [[assistant]] can. What sets you ~~appart~~ from the rest of the crew on the station is that you are the most equipped for constructing objects and machinery, repairing structural damage, and are best equiped crewmembers for E.V.A. missions in the cold of Space.

	~~==[[File:Doubleagent.gif]] Traitorneering ==~~
	~~<i>"Lets do this Texas style!"</i>~~


	Being a [[traitor]] engineer can be both the easiest and hardest task on the station. On the one hand, you can go almost everywhere on the station, and have easy access to the tools to get rid of any pesky doors (or walls) in your way. Also, many crew members don't bat an eyelid when they see an engineer wearing a jetpack, or standing in a hole in the wall. Any curious crewmen are usually deflected by saying you are doing engineering work ("I need this to repair hull damage, Captain!")

	On the other hand, Engineers lack weapons. <s>Stungloves, however, are the hidden weapon few ever search for, which can give the upper hand in a fight.</s> Stungloves are gone 5ever, but stun prods can be made from [[Makeshift weapons\|basic tools]]! In addition, cable restraints may be constructed from cable coils. In a pinch, the welding tool is a fairly powerful weapon which causes burn damage when turned on. Secondly, engineers loitering near their target may quickly arouse suspicion, especially if you are far, far away from a maintenance tunnel. Engineers are also one of the few jobs which retain their maintenance access, making travel around the station significantly safer, faster and easier.

	~~And finally, if you truly hate the station, it is within your grasp to release the <strike>kraken</strike> fury of the supermatter, and generally sabotage the power supply of the station.~~

	~~'''<big> Traitor Tips </big>'''~~
	* You can attach a remote signaler to the Telecomms APC to have a a station wide radio jammer in your backpack (just watch out for that pesky [[AI]]).
	* You have access to some of the most robust tools for breaking into secure areas (hacking tools shiftstart, jaws of life, and insulated gloves).
	* You can print AI upload boards at your lathe once they are researched, or steal the one in secure tech storage.
	* You can delam the SM into a singularity or tesla for a reason to call the shuttle or a last ditch effort to kill your target.
	* You have easy access to space via your engineering MODsuit. Solars are a great hiding place for bodies or illegal items later in the shift.
	* The RCD can be a very valuable asset. You can use it to construct doors, walls, and floors very quickly. And vice versa!
