Event Idea: Robotic Bogaloo

[Freakycrafter]

Name of Event: Robotic Bogaloo

One Sentence Description: The station has been infected with a very infectious nanovirus that turns crew into borgs, robots and... other things.

 

Map Changes: No, maybe minor ones as the round progresses (to show nanovirus spread)

 

Code Changes: Yes (but maybe just minor ones?)

 

The virus should/could work somewhat similar to the already existing nanovirus you get from eating roburgers, but with a few differences.

Suggested Number of Players:

Probably not absolute lowpop, anything above 40 or so should be fine (as long as there are some doctors/a cmo/a virologist/a roboticist onboard).

Full Description of Event:

Basically there's a new nanovirus spreading from an unknown source, maybe not just a normal virus that spreads like normal viruses do but with a few (somewhat hidden) germ sources and a different way to cure it. The virus would work somewhat similar to the already existing roburger virus, but instead of turning people into borgs after some time has passed it can randomly do some other things, such as: turning limbs/organs robotic (and keeping the host infected until the robotic limb/organ is removed), turning people into bots (cleanbots, beepskys, medbots etc.), turning people into swarmers (and maybe ones that cannot replicate so it won't be as bad maybe?), turning people into borgs but with all laws being made up of ion laws or, if you really wanna go all out, turning them into some sort of robotic abomination (think goon clings but robotic) that just want someone to end their pain... and accidently chopping anyone willing to "help" apart.

I feel like this could be a cool event, only problem being that there would need to be some changes in the code to change what the virus turns people into.
