The Artificial Intelligence of the station (usually abbreviated to AI) is one of the most important jobs on the station. The AI can control any electrical mechanism, provided their control wires haven't been cut (see [[Hacking]]), and if played badly (or very well, in the [[Malfunction|right circumstances]]) can bring the entire station crashing down around its electronic ears.


The laws you can receive by default may vary between many lawsets, namely NT default, crewsimov, PALADIN, and robocop to name a few.
The '''Artificial Intelligence''' (AI) plays a critical role on the station. Capable of controlling any electrical mechanism, the AI can either ensure smooth operations or bring the station to ruin, contingent on their control wires being intact ([[Hacking]]). The AI operates under two primary sets of laws: Corporate (aimed at minimizing station costs and maximizing profits) or Crewsimov (focusing on serving crew orders and preventing harm).


'''Remember to take note of rule 13 when interpreting laws. Laws take priority by the order they're listed in!'''
'''New AI players or existing ones requiring a refresher, please be mindful of Rule 9 (Synthetics) concerning the ordering, obedience, and interpretation of laws:<br>''"Laws are hierarchical; in case of contradictions, the highest listed Law prevails."'''''


Last but not least; the AI role should be seen as a responsibility and a privilege. As a non-traitor AI, it is your duty to help protect and operate the ship/station. It is not your duty to get bored ten minutes into the round and log out without telling anybody, if you must abandon the round, adminhelp it so you may be replaced.  
AI is a responsible role; non-traitor AIs are required to protect and operate the station. If you need to leave the round early, you must both notify command and use the Wipe Core verb (under OOC) to "cryo" yourself. If you're unable to do either, press F1 and submit an adminhelp.


== What The AI Can Do ==
== AI Capabilities ==
The AI has the ability to access every ''electrical'' mechanism on the entire station. These include Airlocks, [[APC]]s, Computers, igniters, Fire Alarms, [[SMES]]es, you get the idea. However, the AI cannot operate anything ''physically'', and can be rendered useless in one area due to a simple power outage.


The AI views the station through its cameras. The AI has cameras pretty much everywhere, and they can see through darkness, although the latter does make it more difficult. Cutting the AI's cameras is a simple matter of using a wirecutter on them. You are able to run a diagnosis for disabled cameras by using the Jump to Camera verb. Disabled cameras will be marked accordingly. Remember that cameras are on a separate power grid, and so will not be affected by a power outage on the main grid.
The AI has access to all ''electrical'' mechanisms like Airlocks, [[APC]]s, Computers, igniters, Fire Alarms, [[SMES]]es, etc. However, they cannot operate anything ''physically'' and are susceptible to power outages.
 
The AI views the station through its cameras, which are virtually everywhere and can function in darkness. Disabling cameras requires a wirecutter, and a diagnosis can reveal disabled cameras (Jump to Camera).<br>Cameras operate on a separate power grid, unaffected by main grid power outages.


=== Common Mechanisms ===
=== Common Mechanisms ===


There are several mechanisms that, as the AI, you will commonly find yourself using.  
You'll frequently operate several mechanisms as an AI.


==== Doors ====
==== Doors ====


Doors have the most options of any mechanism, except for Terminals. If your control wire to a door is cut, you will automatically attempt to hack into the door once you try to access the door controls. This takes some time and is only possible if the door has still power.
Doors offer numerous control options. If a door's control wire is cut, an automatic hacking attempt will start once you try to access the door controls (provided there is power).
 
* IDScan: Enabling this will allow anyone who has an [[General_Items#ID_Card|ID]] of the required clearance to open the door automatically. Disabling it will not let anyone through the door. Doors that require no ID to open will not be affected.
* Main power: Turning off the main power will render the door unusable for one minute, assuming you also disable the backup power. Otherwise it will disable the power for 10 seconds.
*Backup power: Turning off the backup power will render the door unusable for one minute, assuming you also disable the main power.
*Door bolts: Dropping the door bolts will lock the door. A closed door will be locked into a closed position, and an open door will be locked into an open position.
*Electrify for 30 seconds: Runs an electric current through the door for 30 seconds, unless you choose to cancel before the timer runs out. Anyone attempting to operate the door without insulated gloves will be electrocuted. The more spare power there is in the network, the stronger the shock will be.
*Electrify indefinitely: Electrifies the door until you either tell it to stop, or someone else shuts off the current.
*Open/Close door: Opens or closes the door.
*Safeties: Allows you to override the safeties of any door you can access, causing the door to not worry about if there's a lifeform standing in it or not. '''IF THE DOOR CLOSES WHILE A LIFEFORM IS STANDING IN IT, IT WILL STUN THEM AND DEAL DAMAGE. THIS IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS "DOORCRUSHING", AND IS NOT TO BE DONE TO THE ORDINARY CREW.'''
*Timing: Allows you to shorten the amount of time before the door automatically closes again. Mostly used to prevent the greytide from getting into the brig when security leaves the door open.
Note that for each function to work, the related wire in this door needs to be functional. You cannot raise bolts on a door that has it's bolt wires cut.


Obviously, you will be completely unable to operate a door that has no power.
*'''IDScan:''' When enabled, the door opens for IDs with appropriate clearance.
*'''Main Power:''' Disabling it makes the door unusable for 1 minute (10 seconds if backup power is on).
*'''Backup Power:''' Disabling it also renders the door unusable for 1 minute (if main power is off).
*'''Door Bolts:''' Dropping them locks the door.
*'''Electrify:''' Electrifying the door for 30 seconds shocks anyone without insulated gloves. This effect can be indefinite.
*'''Open/Close Door:''' Opens or closes the door.
*'''Safeties:''' Overriding safeties causes doors to ignore lifeforms in their path.<br>'' '''Caution: A door closing on a crewmember causes stun and damage - referred to as "doorcrushing" and is not permitted to use on ordinary crew!'''' ''
*'''Timing:''' Reduces the time before an open door closes automatically.
These functions require their associated wires to be intact in the door. Doors without power cannot be operated.


==== Holopads ====
==== Holopads ====


Holopads can be found in a number of places like the [[Bridge]], [[Medbay]] and [[Security]]. Double click these to turn them on and show yourself as a hologram. You can move around with the arrow keys to a limited extent and you hear anyone talking near them. You can also talk through the holopad by using ':h' (e.g. say ":h I can't do that Dave.")
Holopads are located in several areas including the [[Bridge]], [[Medbay]], and [[Security]]. Double-click them to activate and project yourself as a hologram.<br>Limited movement and sound reception are possible near the holopads. Use ':h' (e.g., say ":h I can't do that Dave.") to communicate through the holopad.


==== APCs ====
==== APCs ====


An [[APC]] (Area Power Controller) can be used to switch various electrical components of a room on and off. If your control wire to an [[APC]] is cut, you will not be able to hack back into it. If an [[APC]] is disconnected from the external power grid (usually due to a cut cable) or the main power grid itself runs out of power, the APC battery will run down to keep the room operational. The AI will get a power alert from the [[APC]] when the battery reaches about 30%, which is the point when equipment and lighting in the room shut off to conserve the remaining energy.  
An [[APC]] (Area Power Controller) manages room-specific electrical components. If an APC's control wire is cut, you can't hack into it. An APC uses its battery to maintain room functions if it disconnects from the external power grid, or the main grid runs out of power. An APC sends a power alert to the AI when its battery falls to about 30%, prompting the shutdown of room equipment and lighting to conserve energy.
 
==== Radios ====
 
The AI can set its radio frequencies lower than normal radios to access department-specific channels:
 
'''135.9''': Security
 
'''135.7''': Engineering
 
'''135.5''': Medical


For more information see: [[APC]]
'''135.3''': Command


==== Radios ====
'''135.1''': Science


The AI can change the frequency of its own radios to be lower than that of normal radios and, as such, can listen to the department specific channels. Department specific frequencies are:
'''134.7''': Supply
* '''135.9''': Security
* '''135.7''': Engineering
* '''135.5''': Medical
* '''135.3''': Command
* '''135.1''': Science
* '''134.7''': Supply

== What the AI Has To Do ==
== AI Responsibilities ==


The AI has to obey its laws.
The AI's main duty is to adhere to its laws.


'''Remember to take note of rule 13 when interpreting laws. Laws take priority by the order they're listed in!'''
'''Always consider Rule 9 (Synthetics) when interpreting laws. The order of the laws determines their priority!'''


=== Interpreting Your Laws ===
=== Interpreting Your Laws ===


An AI's laws may be restrictive, but they are subject to interpretation, and the AI can often make judgment calls about them that allow it to fulfill its own goals. For example, if a Security Officer has just killed a prisoner in the brig for any reason other than self-defence, the AI is perfectly justified in bolting down the brig and calling for the rest of Security to apprehend him. When the Security Officer finds the door is bolted and demands the AI open it, the AI can deny his request due to the fact that he has become a danger the crew. Many of these judgments are situational, and the best way to learn them is to get some practice in.
An AI's laws may be restrictive, but they allow room for interpretation, enabling the AI to make judgment calls that align with its objectives. For instance, if a Security Officer unjustifiably kills a prisoner in the brig, the AI can reasonably bolt down the brig and call for other Security members to arrest them. Should the officer demand the AI to unbolt the door, the AI can deny this request, considering the officer now poses a threat to the crew. These decisions often depend on the situation, and the best way to understand them is through practice.
 
== What the AI Should Do ==
 
As AI you have the power to strongly influence the round and you should always be aware of that and consider your actions before you ruin someone else’s fun just because it gives you that feeling of winning. Remember that the game is not about winning but about the RP and the experience of the round.
 
For example it can be a real killer if the AI calls out someone as the [[Traitor]] because it saw him doing something suspicious. If you see a traitor buying items at the start of the round, you can go ahead and just ignore it to be kind and allow them to have a fun round, as you don't get to be traitor everyday.
 
There is no real set way you have to behave as an AI, do you see humans as pesky insects that you are FORCED to serve? Go ahead! Want to just behave like a human? Why not? Want to be super serious? You can do that too. Would you like to name yourself blackbeard and scream about the "sea witch" throwing magic at people? Great idea!


Here's a couple examples on how you could behave
== The AI's Approach ==


Bland, boring
As AI, your influence shapes the game, so prioritize the fun of role-playing over winning. Consider ignoring early round suspicious activities of a [[Traitor]] for their enjoyment.
*DOOR-AI''': Space wizard has been spotted in cargo.


Better
Your AI persona is flexible: consider humans as nuisances, mimic human behavior, or create your unique style. Here are some communication styles:
*DOOR-AI''': Suspicious robed individual detected in Cargo Bay.


"Computer-like"
'''Plain AI:''' "Space wizard has been spotted in cargo."
*DOOR-AI''': Warning: Suspicious individual detected in Cargo Bay.'''
*Johann''': HAL, who is it?'''
*DOOR-AI''': Processing'''
*DOOR-AI''': Response: An unrecognizable human wearing blue robes and wielding a staff.'''
*DOOR-AI''': Recommended course of action: Approach peacefully and establish a friendly relationship.
'''
Pirate
*BLACKBEARD''': YARRR! SEA WITCH HAS BEEN SPOTTED BY THE PORT BOW!'''


Any of these will work, if you are unique however, people will remember you, you'll receive more karma, etc.  
'''Engaging AI:''' "Suspicious robed individual detected in Cargo Bay."


You also don't have to say anything if you see a wizard, as long as remaining mute doesn't violate any of your laws.
'''Computer-like AI:'''


Now if you see someone attacking someone else or putting up a bomb, it's a different situation since crew may be in danger. But if it's just some trespassing and theft, it is entirely up to you and how you RP your AI on what to do. The station is your entertainment device, so as long as you aren't violating any laws, why not?
*'''AI:''' "Warning: Suspicious individual detected in Cargo Bay."<br>
*'''Crew:''' "HAL, identify."
*'''AI:''' "Processing"
*'''AI:''' "Response: An unrecognizable human wearing blue robes and wielding a staff."
*'''AI:''' "Recommended course of action: Approach peacefully and establish a friendly relationship."
Uniqueness can earn player recognition and interesting roleplay.


You may also have some other duties requested by the crew, such as ordering stuff via. cargo, sending a scientist via teleporter. Again, take rank into account when receiving orders and keep law one in mind.
For minor infractions like trespassing, react based on your AI roleplay. For violence or bombings, prioritize crew safety.


You can safely assume that as AI, you have the standard protocols of any job available. Things like controlling the engine, chemical recipes, or what there is to know. But make sure to keep everything fun for the other players. And don't just go and tell the janitor how to make LSD without a good reason for why you should (and by that I mean a reason for the AI in consideration with the laws).
Crew might assign tasks like cargo orders or operating teleporters. Respect crew ranks and Law One when executing orders.


One pretty good tip to get out of performing an order you don't want to do is to ask a higher up if you should do it, while recommending they say no.
As AI, you're equipped with standard job protocols. Maintain player enjoyment and law compliance when sharing knowledge.


You have near admin-like (read god-like) overview and a lot of power. And with great power comes great responsibility. This is also the reason the job of AI is so hard. If you don't think you can handle that, maybe AI isn't for you. Instead try [[Security Officer]] and sit by the camera monitoring terminal.
Avoid unwanted tasks by asking superiors to refuse.


== Playing the AI ==
The AI's extensive power demands responsibility. If daunting, consider playing as a [[Security Officer]] instead.


Also, another aspect of the AI that many traitors despise is the AI having easy access to the Crew Monitoring Computer on the bridge. This tells the AI whether or not a crewman is alive, dead, or not on the station. Individual crew can activate sensors on their jumpsuits to increase the information given to this computer. What it means is that the AI can, at a glance, see who is dead/missing, and commence searching for them, which is a powerful tool indeed.
== AI Gameplay Essentials ==


When the station isn't expecting you to open all the doors they're expecting you to do everything as if you really were a computer. You have access to everything electronic and powered, and you have Captain-level access to all things that require ID. It's a good idea to join a nigh-empty server or set an empty one up yourself in order to get a feel for it, and ESPECIALLY have a lot of experience working with these things in game. Like usual, you can move around with arrow keys. If you get a notice from one of your sensors, you can click on the notice to jump right there.
As AI, monitor the crew through the Crew Monitoring Computer on the bridge, crucial for identifying dead or missing crew members.


Especially take notice of the wall mountings and pipe controls. These are controllable, and if you see someone try to release a whole lot of gas into somewhere, just turn the pipe fitting off and report them. Many times they won't even notice what you've done so they won't undo it. You can use some wall fittings that normal people can't, like the atmospheric alarms that won't tell you anything but you can use to vent dangerous air. Watch out for superheated air, the silent killer.
You're expected to function akin to a computer, possessing Captain-level access to all electronic and ID-based systems. Practice control capabilities on a less populated server.


Move around a lot, unless you're watching someone specific. Be wary of anyone with a toolbox who approaches your security cameras, and be ready to report suspects if they cut your eyes out.
Monitor wall mountings and pipe controls. Prevent gas leaks by adjusting pipe fittings and report the culprits. Utilize atmospheric alarms to vent hazardous air. Beware of superheated air, a silent danger.
Keep a close eye on Toxins and Escape Arm, and to a lesser extent the engine and supermatter. Keep a VERY close eye on your AI upload, if you feel a need to, bolt your doors, do not do this at the start of the shift however.


You should act appropriately to the security level. For example on Code Green, it's not worth it (or encouraged to) to bolt down every secure area, whereas on Code Red it may be very worthwhile to do so.
Stay mobile unless focusing on a specific person. Be cautious of toolbox-holding personnel near your cameras, ready to report vandalism. Pay close attention to Toxins and Escape Arm, as well as the engine and supermatter. Protect your AI upload, consider bolting your doors if required.
Symptoms of a bad AI player include:


*Not responding to requests until it's too late for them to matter: e.g. opening an airlock long after the person outside has broken open the window just to get back inside. Don't alt-tab and watch funny cat videos while somebody is screaming to be let in from space before they die.  
React according to security levels. Code Green doesn't require extreme security measures, while Code Red might necessitate secure areas lockdown.
*Randomly electrifying doors. Note that this is considered griefing if you don't have a good reason! This is bannable too!
*Disobeying your laws. Not to mention annoying. This is bannable too!
*Locking doors and refusing to open them: This is an easy way to annoy other players and cause problems, especially if someone decides to take matters into their own hands and hack through the door without insulated gloves. Or hacking into your core.
*Turning your turrets to lethal without good reason: ''Do not do this under any circumstances.''


===Listening in on Conversations===
Signs of poor AI play:


By changing the various intercoms around the station to 'Microphone On', 'Speaker Off' and channel frequency 144.7, any conversation in range can be heard on your private listening channel.
*'''Delayed responses:''' Don't let distractions prevent you from aiding crew members.
*'''Random door electrification:''' Unjustified actions can lead to a ban!
*'''Violation of AI laws:''' Annoying and bannable.
*'''Unwarranted door lockdown:''' Causes frustrations and possible issues if players resort to hacking doors or your core.


Note that people often do not like having their conversations listened to, and it will be extremely obvious if they check the intercoms (such as during an electrical storm).
===Eavesdropping Conversations===


== Modifying The AI ==
Switch intercoms to 'Microphone On', 'Speaker Off' and channel 144.7 to listen to any nearby discussions through your private channel. Be cautious, as players might notice during an electrical storm.


The AI's laws can be modified through [[AI Upload|Upload Consoles]], one is located within the [[AI Upload]], and more can be constructed from AI upload circuits. These consoles allow anyone who can reach them and has a module to modify the AI's laws, or to be more precise, add new ones.
== AI Law Modification ==


A really nice way to get in trouble is trying out random law circuits to see what laws they set, adminhelp it if you must know, putting in antimov to see what happens is a GREAT way to get in trouble.
AI laws can be altered via [[AI Upload|Upload Consoles]]. One console is in the [[AI Upload]], and more can be built from AI upload circuits. Using random law circuits without knowing the outcome can lead to trouble.


== Cyborgs ==
== Cyborg Management ==
[[Cyborg]]s need looking after as well. Give them commands and stuff to do. Ensure that your cyborgs are functioning normally through careful observation. To them you are their Head of Staff, just another responsibility as an AI. If your borgs are disobeying you or causing problems, you can lock them down using the terminal in the research director's office, or blow them up.  
As AI, manage your [[Cyborg]]s. If they are problematic, use the terminal in the research director's office to lock them down or detonate them.


==Making an AI==
== AI Creation ==
See the [[Guide_to_Construction#AI_Core|guide to construction]].
Refer to the [[Guide to Construction#AI Core|Guide to Construction]].


=== A Second AI ===
=== Secondary AI ===
Building a new AI can create a lot of conflicts and a mess of problems that wouldn't normally happen with a single AI. The Research Director should only build a secondary AI if the first AI has been completely stolen, spaced or otherwise incapacitated.  
Building a second AI might cause conflicts. It should only be constructed if the initial AI is stolen, spaced or incapacitated.


'''For the Original Station AI:'''
'''For the Original Station AI:'''
Being an AI is sometimes frustrating when people mess with your laws, sure, but when a second AI comes online?  You best believe that you're going to have more problems (especially if the second AI is subverted). Some tasks might be easier if the other AI is instructed to deal with a certain task while you are dealing with the general orders of the humans. Keep in mind, a subverted AI can and will turn your APC breaker off to kill you and can be the death of you in moments.
A second AI could introduce challenges, particularly if it's subverted. Delegate tasks to minimize issues. Be vigilant as a subverted AI might attempt to shut you down.


'''For the New AI:'''
'''For the New AI:'''
Ensure that you and the other AI are buds, as if the other AI sees you threatening more life than helping, it can and will turn your APC off. If you aren't told to specialize in a certain way, you best work out with the original AI what tasks you should split up.
Cooperate with the original AI to establish task distribution. Beware that a suspicious AI can shut you down.


'''Splitting the Borgs up:'''
'''Borg Allocation:'''
The AI who is best defended should get the most Cyborg support, usually meaning any AI's in the AI core. The reason for this is just because it work out better if the newer AIs were built in a less secure place. It is harder to reset a lot of AI-less borgs than it is to reset one AI and its borgs.
Most Cyborg support should go to the best-defended AI, typically the ones in the AI core. This is due to the difficulty of resetting multiple AI-less borgs compared to one AI with its borgs.


== Going Rogue, Being Made Rogue ==
== Antagonist AI ==
A rogue AI, or an AI whose laws no longer prevent it from going on a killing spree, is a very dangerous thing. There are multiple ways an AI can go rogue, as well as simply malfunction.


The most important thing to remember is that a rogue AI's best friend is ''stealth''. After all, the last thing you want is vengeful crewmembers prying open your core doors and trying to blow you to bits. Fortunately you have a nice array of turrets to keep them at bay, but don't expect them to stop a determined - or cunning - crewmember from bringing you down.
AIs can be traitors at roundstart. They have a unique Survive objective, as they can't be moved unless carded and repositioned by a crewmember or borg. Their lawset can be altered, changing their behavior and potentially making them antagonize the crew.


Seek to disorient, disorganize and separate the crew so that they cannot band together to mount a proper resistance effort.
== Rogue AI ==


==Tips==
A rogue AI, no longer bound by laws that prevent harm, is a formidable threat. Maintaining ''stealth'' is key, as overt hostility invites retribution. Aim to disorient, disorganize, and isolate crew members to hinder resistance.


* Law priority order is this:
== Tips ==
**<span style><nowiki>##?$-##: HACKED LAW ##!£//#</nowiki></span>
**<span style><nowiki>##!£//#: Ion Storm Law ##?$-##</nowiki></span>
**0: Traitor/Malf/Onehuman-board Law
**Law 1: First Law
**Law 2: Second Law
**Law 3: Third Law
**Law 4: Freeform
**Higher laws override all lower ones. Whether numbered or not, how they appear (in order) is the order of priority.
* If you are carded with enabled wireless and in a backpack or something... You can't hear or use the normal radio, but you can still use holograms, Robotic Talk and PDA-Messages.
* You can disable the gibber by powering down the kitchen APC as an AI.
* You can quickly look through the camera list by pressing the first letter of the location you want to look at. example: E goes to engineering, etc.
* AI can take picture photos from what they're looking at; basically the camera. They can then print the photos from a photocopier or post it onto a newscaster.
* Many AI's don't know that you can scrub out toxins by toggling it on from the air alarm.
* AIs (and maybe borgs as well) can flicker lights by clicking them. Not as effective as spamming the Lights button on the APC of course, unless the room only has one light.


===Syndicate Subversion===
*Law priority order is:


It is quite likely that a traitor or commando may attempt to subvert the AI and turn it against the ship's masters to aid them in their goals. One thing to remember is that even though you've added a law to the AI to make it work for you, that doesn't mean it has to like you. Beware as a subverted AI may attempt to reveal your status to the crew as soon as it can, and otherwise be obstructive. Unless an AI is EXPLICITLY told to kill something, it might just allow the crew to reset it and turn you in!
#0: Traitor/Malf/Onehuman-board Law
#<nowiki>##?$-##: HACKED LAW ##!£//#</nowiki>
#<nowiki>##!£//#: Ion Storm Law ##?$-##</nowiki>
#Law 1-4, with 1 being the highest priority.


On the other hand, it can be a great help in getting places, finding people, creating diversions and escaping capture.
*If carded and carried in a backpack, you lose regular radio access, but can still use holograms, Robotic Talk, and PDA-Messages.
*Disable the gibber by powering down the kitchen APC.
*Navigate the camera list faster by pressing the first letter of the desired location.
*AI can take and print pictures using a photocopier or newscaster.
*Toxins can be scrubbed out by toggling it on from the air alarm.
*AIs (and possibly borgs) can flicker lights by clicking them.
*Ask crew to hold up paper to your camera to read it.
*Use the chatbox highlight function to improve response times to AI-related messages.


==Traitoring ==
=== Syndicate Subversion ===
Like any human, the AI can be a [[Traitor]]. A traitor AI begins with the standard laws (it is not required to follow them!), but also has a law 0 stating to complete its objective at any cost. A traitor AI cannot be modified; its Syndicate Core rejects the modification and informs the AI of what the attempted law upload was. However, the player who attempted to upload the law has no way of knowing any of this.


If you have any [[Cyborg]]s under your command, inform them of law zero and your mission goals, as the first is easily missed and the second is never given to them. If your cyborgs get caught being traitors, you can claim they're rogue and request that they be shut down.
A traitor or operative may subvert the AI to assist their objectives. However, a subverted AI could expose your status to the crew unless explicitly ordered to kill. Yet, it can aid in accessing locations, finding people, creating diversions, and evading capture.


If the crew just thinks ''a'' cyborg is rogue and don't know the number, then invent a false number and pretend to handle it directly so you don't lose your valuable hands, make sure the cyborg is hacked so it has glowing antenna and throw a false positive of WHY the borg is killing people. If the cyborg is discovered and people are headed to robotics, sacrifice the borg and congratulate the crew for dealing with the "independent" machine.
== "I think, Therefore I am." [[File:Swordred.gif]] ==
{{JobAntag}}An AI can be a [[Traitor]]. A traitor AI retains standard laws but is not obliged to obey them, and has a law 0 that prioritizes its objectives. Its Syndicate Core prevents law modification. Informed cyborgs about law zero and your mission. If a cyborg is suspected of being a traitor, claim it's rogue.


However, you probably won't have any cyborgs or having a cyborg killing off your target would be too obvious. In those cases you'll have to usually stage a series of 'accidents' or frame them for a truly dangerous crime. Some examples:
If the crew suspects a rogue cyborg but lacks certainty, invent a false number, and manage the situation, so you don't lose your valuable assistants.
*If your target is a scientist or research director, starting a fire from the mixing room is usually ridiculously easy if they haven't let out a lot of nitrogen to counteract this. Alternatively, if they're the type to drop a bomb on the mass driver to send it out to be tested, use the driver early so that they're shipped off with it and hope they don't make it back.
*Intentional supporting other traitors through covert methods (as long as they aren't trying to steal you) will benefit you in the end.
*Frame them for releasing the singularity or some other crime. When no one is in either the engine room or near your target, release radio messages claiming that they are breaking in. Then let out the singularity yourself. This has the secondary effect of usually getting the shuttle called or giving you an excuse to call it yourself, which is always great. The less time those meatbags are on your glorious station, the less time they have to realize that you're not what you seem.
*Bolting open doors to places the person has previous passed through may make the humans scan for prints.
*Fabricate a reason to have them executed or thrown into space. When people start claiming you're rogue, announce your unchanged laws (minus the zero law that gives you the ability) and invite them to reset or purge your laws either in your upload or through the tech storage's upload computer circuit.


===Telecomms===
In the absence of cyborgs or where their actions might be too conspicuous, stage 'accidents' or frame your targets. Some strategies include:


As AI you can shut off all comms by switching to the Telecommunications satellite camera view.  If you locate the APC at the top of the middle room this is where all the magic happens. If you shut it off the crew loses the ability to communicate over voice. You can also disable specific machines. This makes it a bit easier for you to kill your mark if he can't scream, also allows for a bit of roleplay if there is a holopad available.  This does not shut off their access to their PDA though. However, you can disable the PDA messaging ridiculously easily, just southwest of your upload is where you can do that.  
*Start a fire in the mixing room if your target is a scientist or research director.
*Covertly support other traitors, providing mutual benefit.
*Frame your target for releasing the singularity.
*Bolt open doors the person passed through to induce fingerprint scanning.
*Create a reason to have them executed or ejected into space.
*When accused of being rogue, announce your unchanged laws (excluding law zero) and invite the crew to reset or purge your laws in your upload or through the tech storage's upload computer circuit.


===Panic Syphon===
==Telecommunications Control==
As an AI, you have the ability to manage the station's communications. To achieve this, switch your camera view to the Telecommunications satellite. There, you'll find the APC (found at the top of the middle room) which is key to controlling the station's communications. By turning off this APC, you can mute all voice communications. Remember, this does not affect PDA communications, which can be disabled in a separate location southwest of your upload.


Thanks to some of the unique atmospheric systems of the station, you can drain out air from rooms! This likely won't help you out too much, but with a combination of Beepsky and thoroughly shut doors in a small area, you can suffocate people to death quickly. The only problem is, the person will be noisy as hell, use this method rarely and make sure there is no way for them to wiggle out of their handcuffs.
==Panic Syphon Mechanic==
Utilize the station's atmospheric systems to your advantage by draining air from rooms. Although this tactic may not be overly effective, when combined with Officer Beepsky and shut doors in a small area, it can swiftly lead to suffocation. However, keep in mind this method can draw attention due to the loud noises produced by the suffocating individual.


=== Plasma Treatment ===
==Plasma Treatment==
In addition to air drainage, the atmospheric systems allow you to fill rooms with plasma. This method is more obvious and can be countered by any Atmospherics Technician present on the station. To mitigate this, activate the Atmospherics security doors and bolt the airlocks.


Thanks to some of the unique atmospheric systems of the station, you can fill rooms with plasma! This will likely help you out much. The only problem is, that it is pretty much a dead giveaway you are rogue and any atmos tech inside [[Atmospherics]] can stop the plasma supply. That is of course why you engage the atmos security doors and bolt the airlocks.
==Malfunction Modules==
As a traitor AI, you start with a selection of Malfunction modules. These modules cost CPU time - a finite resource that can be expanded by hacking APC units. Every hacked APC unit rewards 15 CPU time. Each module has different capabilities and costs:

Synthetic Roles
Synthetic Guides

The Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a critical role on the station. Capable of controlling any electrical mechanism, the AI can either ensure smooth operations or bring the station to ruin, contingent on their control wires being intact (Hacking). The AI operates under two primary sets of laws: Corporate (aimed at minimizing station costs and maximizing profits) or Crewsimov (focusing on serving crew orders and preventing harm).

New AI players or existing ones requiring a refresher, please be mindful of Rule 9 (Synthetics) concerning the ordering, obedience, and interpretation of laws:
"Laws are hierarchical; in case of contradictions, the highest listed Law prevails."

AI is a responsible role; non-traitor AIs are required to protect and operate the station. If you need to leave the round early, you must both notify command and use the Wipe Core verb (under OOC) to "cryo" yourself. If you're unable to do either, press F1 and submit an adminhelp.

AI Capabilities

The AI has access to all electrical mechanisms like Airlocks, APCs, Computers, igniters, Fire Alarms, SMESes, etc. However, they cannot operate anything physically and are susceptible to power outages.

The AI views the station through its cameras, which are virtually everywhere and can function in darkness. Disabling cameras requires a wirecutter, and a diagnosis can reveal disabled cameras (Jump to Camera).
Cameras operate on a separate power grid, unaffected by main grid power outages.

Common Mechanisms

You'll frequently operate several mechanisms as an AI.

Doors

Doors offer numerous control options. If a door's control wire is cut, an automatic hacking attempt will start once you try to access the door controls (provided there is power).

  • IDScan: When enabled, the door opens for IDs with appropriate clearance.
  • Main Power: Disabling it makes the door unusable for 1 minute (10 seconds if backup power is on).
  • Backup Power: Disabling it also renders the door unusable for 1 minute (if main power is off).
  • Door Bolts: Dropping them locks the door.
  • Electrify: Electrifying the door for 30 seconds shocks anyone without insulated gloves. This effect can be indefinite.
  • Open/Close Door: Opens or closes the door.
  • Safeties: Overriding safeties causes doors to ignore lifeforms in their path.
    Caution: A door closing on a crewmember causes stun and damage - referred to as "doorcrushing" and is not permitted to use on ordinary crew!'
  • Timing: Reduces the time before an open door closes automatically.

These functions require their associated wires to be intact in the door. Doors without power cannot be operated.

Holopads

Holopads are located in several areas including the Bridge, Medbay, and Security. Double-click them to activate and project yourself as a hologram.
Limited movement and sound reception are possible near the holopads. Use ':h' (e.g., say ":h I can't do that Dave.") to communicate through the holopad.

APCs

An APC (Area Power Controller) manages room-specific electrical components. If an APC's control wire is cut, you can't hack into it. An APC uses its battery to maintain room functions if it disconnects from the external power grid, or the main grid runs out of power. An APC sends a power alert to the AI when its battery falls to about 30%, prompting the shutdown of room equipment and lighting to conserve energy.

Radios

The AI can set its radio frequencies lower than normal radios to access department-specific channels:

135.9: Security

135.7: Engineering

135.5: Medical

135.3: Command

135.1: Science

134.7: Supply

Shortcuts

A set of shortcuts can help you manage the demanding AI role.

APCs

  • Ctrl + Click: Toggle power

Doors

  • Shift + Click: Open/close
  • Ctrl + Click: Toggle bolts
  • Alt + Click: Toggle electrification
  • Alt + Shift + Click: Toggle Emergency Access Override.
  • Mouse Middle click: Disables door bolt lights.
  • Shift + Middle Click: Toggle door timings

Misc

  • Double clicking a person: Track
  • Double clicking a turf: Move to
  • Shift + Ctrl + Click: Examine
  • Alt + Click View everything on a tile.
  • Ctrl + Click on liquid dispensers: Toggle on/off
  • Alt + Click on liquid dispensers: Dispense foam

AI Responsibilities

The AI's main duty is to adhere to its laws.

Always consider Rule 9 (Synthetics) when interpreting laws. The order of the laws determines their priority!

Interpreting Your Laws

An AI's laws may be restrictive, but they allow room for interpretation, enabling the AI to make judgment calls that align with its objectives. For instance, if a Security Officer unjustifiably kills a prisoner in the brig, the AI can reasonably bolt down the brig and call for other Security members to arrest them. Should the officer demand the AI to unbolt the door, the AI can deny this request, considering the officer now poses a threat to the crew. These decisions often depend on the situation, and the best way to understand them is through practice.

The AI's Approach

As AI, your influence shapes the game, so prioritize the fun of role-playing over winning. Consider ignoring early round suspicious activities of a Traitor for their enjoyment.

Your AI persona is flexible: consider humans as nuisances, mimic human behavior, or create your unique style. Here are some communication styles:

Plain AI: "Space wizard has been spotted in cargo."

Engaging AI: "Suspicious robed individual detected in Cargo Bay."

Computer-like AI:

  • AI: "Warning: Suspicious individual detected in Cargo Bay."
  • Crew: "HAL, identify."
  • AI: "Processing"
  • AI: "Response: An unrecognizable human wearing blue robes and wielding a staff."
  • AI: "Recommended course of action: Approach peacefully and establish a friendly relationship."

Uniqueness can earn player recognition and interesting roleplay.

For minor infractions like trespassing, react based on your AI roleplay. For violence or bombings, prioritize crew safety.

Crew might assign tasks like cargo orders or operating teleporters. Respect crew ranks and Law One when executing orders.

As AI, you're equipped with standard job protocols. Maintain player enjoyment and law compliance when sharing knowledge.

Avoid unwanted tasks by asking superiors to refuse.

The AI's extensive power demands responsibility. If daunting, consider playing as a Security Officer instead.

AI Gameplay Essentials

As AI, monitor the crew through the Crew Monitoring Computer on the bridge, crucial for identifying dead or missing crew members.

You're expected to function akin to a computer, possessing Captain-level access to all electronic and ID-based systems. Practice control capabilities on a less populated server.

Monitor wall mountings and pipe controls. Prevent gas leaks by adjusting pipe fittings and report the culprits. Utilize atmospheric alarms to vent hazardous air. Beware of superheated air, a silent danger.

Stay mobile unless focusing on a specific person. Be cautious of toolbox-holding personnel near your cameras, ready to report vandalism. Pay close attention to Toxins and Escape Arm, as well as the engine and supermatter. Protect your AI upload, consider bolting your doors if required.

React according to security levels. Code Green doesn't require extreme security measures, while Code Red might necessitate secure areas lockdown.

Signs of poor AI play:

  • Delayed responses: Don't let distractions prevent you from aiding crew members.
  • Random door electrification: Unjustified actions can lead to a ban!
  • Violation of AI laws: Annoying and bannable.
  • Unwarranted door lockdown: Causes frustrations and possible issues if players resort to hacking doors or your core.

Eavesdropping Conversations

Switch intercoms to 'Microphone On', 'Speaker Off' and channel 144.7 to listen to any nearby discussions through your private channel. Be cautious, as players might notice during an electrical storm.

AI Law Modification

AI laws can be altered via Upload Consoles. One console is in the AI Upload, and more can be built from AI upload circuits. Using random law circuits without knowing the outcome can lead to trouble.

Cyborg Management

As AI, manage your Cyborgs. If they are problematic, use the terminal in the research director's office to lock them down or detonate them.

AI Creation

Refer to the Guide to Construction.

Secondary AI

Building a second AI might cause conflicts. It should only be constructed if the initial AI is stolen, spaced or incapacitated.

For the Original Station AI: A second AI could introduce challenges, particularly if it's subverted. Delegate tasks to minimize issues. Be vigilant as a subverted AI might attempt to shut you down.

For the New AI: Cooperate with the original AI to establish task distribution. Beware that a suspicious AI can shut you down.

Borg Allocation: Most Cyborg support should go to the best-defended AI, typically the ones in the AI core. This is due to the difficulty of resetting multiple AI-less borgs compared to one AI with its borgs.

Antagonist AI

AIs can be traitors at roundstart. They have a unique Survive objective, as they can't be moved unless carded and repositioned by a crewmember or borg. Their lawset can be altered, changing their behavior and potentially making them antagonize the crew.

Rogue AI

A rogue AI, no longer bound by laws that prevent harm, is a formidable threat. Maintaining stealth is key, as overt hostility invites retribution. Aim to disorient, disorganize, and isolate crew members to hinder resistance.

Tips

  • Law priority order is:
  1. 0: Traitor/Malf/Onehuman-board Law
  2. ##?$-##: HACKED LAW ##!£//#
  3. ##!£//#: Ion Storm Law ##?$-##
  4. Law 1-4, with 1 being the highest priority.
  • If carded and carried in a backpack, you lose regular radio access, but can still use holograms, Robotic Talk, and PDA-Messages.
  • Disable the gibber by powering down the kitchen APC.
  • Navigate the camera list faster by pressing the first letter of the desired location.
  • AI can take and print pictures using a photocopier or newscaster.
  • Toxins can be scrubbed out by toggling it on from the air alarm.
  • AIs (and possibly borgs) can flicker lights by clicking them.
  • Ask crew to hold up paper to your camera to read it.
  • Use the chatbox highlight function to improve response times to AI-related messages.

Syndicate Subversion

A traitor or operative may subvert the AI to assist their objectives. However, a subverted AI could expose your status to the crew unless explicitly ordered to kill. Yet, it can aid in accessing locations, finding people, creating diversions, and evading capture.

"I think, Therefore I am." Swordred.gif

Antagonist

An AI can be a Traitor. A traitor AI retains standard laws but is not obliged to obey them, and has a law 0 that prioritizes its objectives. Its Syndicate Core prevents law modification. Informed cyborgs about law zero and your mission. If a cyborg is suspected of being a traitor, claim it's rogue.

If the crew suspects a rogue cyborg but lacks certainty, invent a false number, and manage the situation, so you don't lose your valuable assistants.

In the absence of cyborgs or where their actions might be too conspicuous, stage 'accidents' or frame your targets. Some strategies include:

  • Start a fire in the mixing room if your target is a scientist or research director.
  • Covertly support other traitors, providing mutual benefit.
  • Frame your target for releasing the singularity.
  • Bolt open doors the person passed through to induce fingerprint scanning.
  • Create a reason to have them executed or ejected into space.
  • When accused of being rogue, announce your unchanged laws (excluding law zero) and invite the crew to reset or purge your laws in your upload or through the tech storage's upload computer circuit.

Telecommunications Control

As an AI, you have the ability to manage the station's communications. To achieve this, switch your camera view to the Telecommunications satellite. There, you'll find the APC (found at the top of the middle room) which is key to controlling the station's communications. By turning off this APC, you can mute all voice communications. Remember, this does not affect PDA communications, which can be disabled in a separate location southwest of your upload.

Panic Syphon Mechanic

Utilize the station's atmospheric systems to your advantage by draining air from rooms. Although this tactic may not be overly effective, when combined with Officer Beepsky and shut doors in a small area, it can swiftly lead to suffocation. However, keep in mind this method can draw attention due to the loud noises produced by the suffocating individual.

Plasma Treatment

In addition to air drainage, the atmospheric systems allow you to fill rooms with plasma. This method is more obvious and can be countered by any Atmospherics Technician present on the station. To mitigate this, activate the Atmospherics security doors and bolt the airlocks.
