Items

Syndicate Uplink

This is where the traitor gets all his fancy items. It's disguised as a PDA or a headset (or a radio if the mode is nuclear emergency). If it's a PDA, you will need to enter the code given into the ringtone selection in the messenger menu. A headset will need to be changed to the correct frequency. From there, you can click on it and pick whatever item you want/need. However, you only have 20 telecrystals to use (40 in nuke to split among two to six people), so choose wisely. The nuke round radio and the headset can also self destruct, which can be used to destroy things like computers or gib people if dropped on top of them.

Description
Also known as "His Grace", when you buy this toolbox you can bind yourself to the entity by trying to open the toolbox. Once you do, you will receive Memetic Kill Agent disease at stage 1. If you move more than a screen away from His Grace it will begin to progress. At stage 4, you will start to take damage and eventually die. Staying close to the toolbox reverts disease to stage 1. The toolbox will also become hungry for people and the more people it's been fed, the faster it becomes hungry again. If the toolbox stays hungry for too long, it will eat it's owner. To feed the toolbox you need to stun or knock down people, then grab them and shove them into the toolbox. This will immediately kill them. Anyone knocked over or stunned can be devoured by the toolbox as fast as you can grab and shove them inside. If you hold the toolbox in your hand, you will also be immune to stuns and receive healing ( 3 oxy/tox and 12 burn/brute every 2 seconds ). The toolbox can also be used as a melee or throwing weapon. At first, it's quite weak, but the more people you feed to it, the more damage it starts to deal. If you happen to be stopped or your toolbox is taken away from you, you're in trouble. Crew can destroy it by spraying acid on it, shoving it into a protolathe, autolathe, the recycler at cargo and the likes. When this happens, all the crew will be ejected and then the medical staff can bring them back to life again, unless you destroy it in the crematorium, which you really shouldn't do unless you happen to be a traitor with the hijack objective as well, as it will kill everyone inside.

Description

While this can have the desired effect, it also leaves a trail for people to follow (mostly doors), it also has a fairly noticeable visual when you use it (generally sparks shooting out of whatever it was used on). But besides gaining access through mundane locks, there are a number of other uses that E-mags have. You can use it on Cyborgs, to make them generally malicious to the station, they can be used on certain computers to gain unusual effects, the most useful of which being allowing you drop the emergency shuttle countdown to 10 seconds if you use it on the shuttle computer.
