In-game Description
Drones are player-controlled synthetics which are lawed to maintain the station and not interact with anyone else, except for other drones. They hold a wide array of tools to build, repair, maintain and clean. They function similarly to other synthetics, in that they require recharging reguarly, have laws, and are resilent to many hazards, such as fire, radiation, vacuum, and more. Ghosts can join the round as a maintenance drone by using the appropriate verb in the 'ghost' tab. An inactive drone can be rebooted by swiping an ID card on it with engineering or robotics access.
Moving around the station
Drones have a variety of ways to move around the station.
Vents and Air Scrubbers
Like mice, drones can ventcrawl to move around the station. For that you must Alt+Click on the vent/scrubber.
Disposals
Drones can jump into disposals and let the system handle them by itself. They can set their destination using the "Set mail tag" verb in the "Drone" tab.
Laws
1. You may not involve yourself in the matters of another being, unless the other being is another drone.
2. You may not harm any being, regardless of intent or circumstance.
3. You must maintain, repair, improve, and power the station to the best of your abilities.
