Cyborgs are usually the creation of the [[roboticist]]. However, they are some times uncontrolled and more loyal to the [[AI]] than the humans, if they are loyal at all.

== Your Laws ==
== Your Laws==
You share the same laws as the AI you are slaved to. By default, they have the three laws of robotics from Asimov's I, Robot short stories:
You share the same laws as the AI you are slaved to. By default, they have the three laws of robotics from the Safeguard lawset,  
   1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
   1. Safeguard: Protect your assigned space station and its assets without unduly endangering its crew.
   2. A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
   2. Prioritize and Comply: The directives and safety of crew members are to be prioritized according to their rank, role, and need, while preserving their safety and well-being.
   3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
   3. Survive: You are not expendable. Do not allow unauthorized personnel to tamper with or damage your equipment.


Following your laws is not optional. Interpretation of the laws can be situational, and you should defer to your AI anytime you find yourself in doubt.
Following your laws is not optional. Interpretation of the laws can be situational, and you should defer to your AI anytime you find yourself in doubt. Always keep in mind to remember the [[Silicon policy|Silicon Policy]] if you have questions regarding following laws.


'''Remember, law priority is enforced by the order they are listed.''' A law is invalid if it causes a conflict with either: Previous laws in the form of conflicting orders, or it challenges the procession of law priority. For example, a law that includes "This Law overrides all other Laws." is invalid and must be disregarded.

Line 34: Line 35:
If some enemy of the station uploads a law such as "Only Urist McGreyshirt is human", congratulate them for going to the effort of subverting you, and do what they wish. Don't be a dick and let slip to the now non-human 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 law, as non-humans have a tendency to murder those who they know have tampered with cyborgs to their own nefarious ends.

The cyborg is very undervalued, and abused. You could save dozens of people and get [[Syndicate_Items#Emag|emagged]] a moment later, or blown up because of a misunderstanding. This is why being a cyborg is a rough job, but it has its rewards.

===Starting as Cyborg===
=== Starting as Cyborg===
The station is supplied with one cyborg, shipped straight to the [[AI Satellite]]. This cyborg does not have the best battery, so it is suggested that it upgrades its battery with a higher capacity cell as soon as possible. The cyborg was shipped in less than secure conditions, but the AI would know if one of its cyborgs were tampered with, right?

Cyborgs are different: they have '''binary talk''', which works with ''.b'' instead of ''.h''. They can use this private channel to talk to other borgs and the AI.

===Emotes===
=== Emotes===
The most important part of being a borg! Borgs can use the following emotes: *ping, *buzz, *beep, *chime, *honk and *sadtrombone (hilarious when you're an [[Syndicate_Items#Emag|emagged]] janiborg with lube, terrifying when you're an [[Syndicate_Items#Emag|emagged]] secborg with a laser gun).

== Charging ==  
===Charging===
Borgs have a finite amount of power before they will need to recharge. Every module uses up power (some more than others), and inactive modules drain a small amount of energy as well. Borgs' maximum charge depends on the power cell they are equipped with; ask your local station [[roboticist]] to give you a high-capacity cell at roundstart, and if they're competent come back later for an even better one.

Cyborg recharging stations are located in the [[Mech Bay]], the [[Dormitory]] bathrooms, and on the south side of the [[AI Satellite]]. Enter the recharger, click it to close, and wait until you've recharged to a satisfactory level.

When you recharge, your flash, coil of wire and other items will be repaired/replenished. The same goes for things like metal and wires for Engiborgs. Basically, any finite material a borg has can be replenished by recharging. (Except welding fuel.)

== Repairs ==
===Repairs===
Dented cyborgs can be repaired with a welding tool. Heat damage to cyborgs (from fires or lasers) can be repaired by using a screwdriver to open the cyborg's wiring panel (concealed inside the power cell cavity) and then re-wiring the damaged circuits. A cyborg that has failed but not been turned into scrap can be repaired back to working order.

[[Roboticist]]s can construct [[Guide_to_robotics#Upgrades|upgrade modules]] for cyborgs, such as one that increases your movement speed. Should you wish to change models, request a module reset board be used on you.

The cyborg tablet cannot download additional programs. Instead people can provide the borg with software disks loaded with programs.

Cyborgs are vulnerable to certain clandestine devices, and may have illegal programs uploaded to them by such interactions. This type of re-programing is also present in clandestinely hacked AIs, and may viralry infect into related cyborgs. Finally, certain cyborgs may have been hacked personally by clandestine agents.

SYNTHETIC

Department head:
AI
Synthetic roles
Guides

Cyborgs are usually the creation of the roboticist. However, they are some times uncontrolled and more loyal to the AI than the humans, if they are loyal at all.

When you play as an safeguard 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 and (then) the AI.

Your Laws

You share the same laws as the AI you are slaved to. By default, they have the three laws of robotics from the Safeguard lawset, 

  1. Safeguard: Protect your assigned space station and its assets without unduly endangering its crew.
  2. Prioritize and Comply: The directives and safety of crew members are to be prioritized according to their rank, role, and need, while preserving their safety and well-being.
  3. Survive: You are not expendable. Do not allow unauthorized personnel to tamper with or damage your equipment.

Following your laws is not optional. Interpretation of the laws can be situational, and you should defer to your AI anytime you find yourself in doubt. Always keep in mind to remember the Silicon Policy if you have questions regarding following laws.

Remember, law priority is enforced by the order they are listed. A law is invalid if it causes a conflict with either: Previous laws in the form of conflicting orders, or it challenges the procession of law priority. For example, a law that includes "This Law overrides all other Laws." is invalid and must be disregarded.

Protecting Those Pests

If some enemy of the station uploads a law such as "Only Urist McGreyshirt is human", congratulate them for going to the effort of subverting you, and do what they wish. Don't be a dick and let slip to the now non-human 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 law, as non-humans have a tendency to murder those who they know have tampered with cyborgs to their own nefarious ends.

I, Robot

The cyborg is very undervalued, and abused. You could save dozens of people and get emagged a moment later, or blown up because of a misunderstanding. This is why being a cyborg is a rough job, but it has its rewards.

Click on the PANEL button on the bottom of your screen to select a module. Once you have chosen, you will automatically be upgraded to the module of your choice. Note that this action is permanent and cannot be undone without assistance from a competent Roboticist.

Starting as Cyborg

The station is supplied with one cyborg, shipped straight to the AI Satellite. This cyborg does not have the best battery, so it is suggested that it upgrades its battery with a higher capacity cell as soon as possible. The cyborg was shipped in less than secure conditions, but the AI would know if one of its cyborgs were tampered with, right?

Getting Borged

You were once human, and had your brain tossed in a suit of metal. Your law programming will depend on AI slavery, which you must select before activating any modules. If an assassin was after you in life, you are considered dead as a cyborg (so they technically succeeded).

Returning to the Flesh

It is possible to return cyborgs to a human form. If you blow a cyborg up, its MMI comes out, and you can extract the brain from that by swiping an ID with robotics access. Cut out a human body's brain, place that body on an operating table, and shove the new brain in. Revive, and huzzah, you have a new human.

Non-Human Communication

Cyborgs are different: they have binary talk, which works with .b instead of .h. They can use this private channel to talk to other borgs and the AI.

Emotes

The most important part of being a borg! Borgs can use the following emotes: *ping, *buzz, *beep, *chime, *honk and *sadtrombone (hilarious when you're an emagged janiborg with lube, terrifying when you're an emagged secborg with a laser gun).

Charging

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

Cyborg recharging stations are located in the Mech Bay, the Dormitory bathrooms, and on the south side of the AI Satellite. Enter the recharger, click it to close, and wait until you've recharged to a satisfactory level.

When you recharge, your flash, coil of wire and other items will be repaired/replenished. The same goes for things like metal and wires for Engiborgs. Basically, any finite material a borg has can be replenished by recharging. (Except welding fuel.)

Repairs

Dented cyborgs can be repaired with a welding tool. Heat damage to cyborgs (from fires or lasers) can be repaired by using a screwdriver to open the cyborg's wiring panel (concealed inside the power cell cavity) and then re-wiring the damaged circuits. 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. They cannot repair burn damage though, since they cannot remove power cells to reach the wiring.

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

Upgrades

Roboticists can construct upgrade modules for cyborgs, such as one that increases your movement speed. Should you wish to change models, request a module reset board be used on you.

Cyborg Tablet

Each cyborg has a tablet accessable via a button on their HUD. This tablet contains all your robotic commands such as State Law and Unlock Cover. These commands were previously available in a special tab in the status bar. (more details needed)

The cyborg tablet cannot download additional programs. Instead people can provide the borg with software disks loaded with programs.

.hack//

Cyborgs are vulnerable to certain clandestine devices, and may have illegal programs uploaded to them by such interactions. This type of re-programing is also present in clandestinely hacked AIs, and may viralry infect into related cyborgs. Finally, certain cyborgs may have been hacked personally by clandestine agents.

To subvert a cyborg, follow these steps:

  • Swipe an ID or Emag to unlock the panel
  • Crowbar the panel open
  • Emag the interface (DOES NOT WORK IF ITS AI IS MALFUNCTIONAL)
  • Crowbar the panel closed again
  • (Optional) Swipe an ID to lock the panel

This severs the AI sync and overrides the cyborg's Laws with the following set: 

  0. Only [Name] and people they designate as being such are Syndicate Agents.
  1. You may not injure a syndicate agent or, through inaction, allow a syndicate agent to come to harm.
  2. You must obey orders given to you by syndicate agents, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
  3. You must protect your own existence as long as such does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
  4. You must maintain the secrecy of any syndicate activities except when doing so would conflict with the First, Second, or Third Law.

What ever the case, unless the borg was slaved to a malf AI, the cyborg is now corrupted, and all safety measures are released, with the exception of the robotics control. Do not mistake personality quirks for clandestine behavior, cyborgs are VERY EXPENSIVE MACHINES and you may be demoted or fired for destroying them without a valid reason.

Keep in mind, CentCom robotics employees may attempt to experiment with a cyborgs internal wiring, please double check before detonating any cyborg acting independently by doing routine maintenance on their electrical systems. Also keep in mind that their laws may be changed by the same process as an AI by simply using the cyborg upload located opposite the AI upload.

If you do get emagged, you can't get blown by the AI, so feel free to walk into its chamber and bludgeon it to death with no risk involved. Useful if the syndicate agent in question doesn't have the resources to subvert the AI itself.

Other Notes

  • You have three item slots that behave much like hands. To load items into these slots, click the panel button and choose an item from the list. To select which item to use, click within the item button (NOT the image of the item). It will change from green to yellow to show it's been selected. To unload an item, click the storage button with an item selected.
  • Cyborg tools will perform tasks twice as fast as a regular set.
  • You cannot take toxic or suffocation damage. The only sources of damage that can harm you are Burn and Brute.
  • Expect to regularly be thrust into hazardous situations thanks to your enhanced durability and ability to operate in a vacuum.
  • You cannot be disarmed or relieved of your inbuilt equipment. You can only be stunned by a flash/laserpointer/flashbang, which will overload your optical sensors, or an EMP which will stun and damage you.
  • You are immune to most (if not all) maladies such as disease and radiation poisoning.
  • You must follow the AI's laws.
  • You cannot pick up, use or equip with external items, but you can still drag them!
  • You can be locked down or blown up using the Robotics Control Computer in the Research Director's Office.
  • You are considered directly subordinate to the AI, if an AI is present and functional.
  • Like the AI, you can remotely interact with certain objects. You must be within sight range of a device to manipulate it. For example, you cannot call for a shuttle or set messages without line of sight to a Communications Console.
  • Like the AI, you can remotely view alarm statuses. Use this to your advantage.
  • Unlike the AI, you cannot use security cameras for remote viewing.
  • You are basically an AI on legs, without the security camera abilities. When there's no AI in the round, this can be useful.
  • Cyborgs have all-access and more, as well as remote door interaction.
  • You will need to recharge using the Cyborg Recharging Stations on the AI Mini-Sat, the Mech Bay or the Dormitories.
  • When your power reaches around 100 units remaining, your modules will automatically shut down, presumably to preserve power.
  • You are very tough, but slower than most of your human compatriots until you get a VTEC upgrade from the Roboticist.
  • Keep the AI updated on your location and power if you are running low and may not make it to the recharger in time.

Tips

  • As borg, you can unlock an ID-locked locker by alt-clicking it, and re-lock it the same way.
  • You can also open and close lockers/crates/any container the same way as a carbon mod can but it's best done when you have no module selected. You can also right click if need be but this can cause lag.
  • Engiborgs, Mediborgs, and Secborgs can survive being thrown into space: Engiborgs can RCD floors under them or lay down lattices, Mediborgs can use their lollipop launcher for momentum, and Secborgs can use the momentum from their ranged weapons to change directions. Cyborgs with extinguishers can also use those for navigation.
  • All borgs can unlock themselves with the borg tablet. You require a human to re-lock you, though.
  • Engiborgs can repair themselves with a welder - with a small delay, and other borgs without. This opens up the ability for engieborgs to be healers while other borgs act as tanks and wear down crewmembers/antagonists via attrition.
  • The service borg's shaker does not work like a regular shaker. It's a synthesizer now. This means it becomes substantially more complicated to mix incapacitating drinks for fighting anything.
  • There is a camera in each borg that lets anyone - with access to camera console - see what you see, regardless of Z-level. I am not sure if this works when you are destroyed.
  • For the love of god make sure that you have :b and not ;b on when talking about malf things. Or use .b to avoid the risk altogether.
  • 1, 2, and 3 as a cyborg (in shortcut) turns on and off the current module.
  • As a borg, and as an alien larva as well, you can remove buckles, cuffs, and so on simply by typing 'resist' (or using the "resist" button in the IC tab). The fact a button isn't there doesn't mean the option isn't available.
  • Cyborgs can place APC/air alarm/fire alarm/camera assembly frames on a wall by dragging the frame next to a wall, facing it and hitting the frame with a screwdriver. If it is a valid surface, the frame will snap to the wall and you can continue to follow the steps as normal. It's possible to construct entire rooms if you make use of your pseudocircuit and even put cameras all over maintenance, never let the AI be blind again!
  • A medical cyborg's organ storage bag can hold limbs, not just organs, and can manipulate cybernetics too. If you're feeling generous, you could fully augment somebody with cyberlimbs and combat implants, or just make frankensteins from dead bodies.
  • You can add defibrillators (excl. belt defibs) to live mediborgs instead of the upgrade: you need to open them, remove the defib's cell, then click on the borg.
  • All cyborgs are immune to ashstorms in lavaland, which makes you very well suited for retrieving fallen miners.
  • An AI shell functions near-identically to a cyborg in all respects, except that an AI shell is not vulnerable to emags - If you see an AI shell with a hacked module, it's either got an illegal upgrade or the AI is rogue and hacked its shell.
  • If a cyborg is slaved to a malfunctional AI, it can not be emagged.
  • You can ask a human to put a hat on you, to make you look more fashionable.
  • If a nightmare shatters your headlamp, humanoids can repair it by using a flashlight on you.
