	In the event of AI damage on an Intelicard, there is a computer in your office that can be used to repair its systems. This is a long process, but it is still usually better than having no AI at all. In addition, it is possible to build a new AI from the circuit also found in your office~~. Using plasteel and glass, it is constructed just like any other computer up until the Synthetic brain is inserted~~. Please be aware that a freshly constructed [[AI]] comes with the default NanoTrasen laws.		You are the first stop for any issues regarding the AI. Strange behavior, [[Traitor\|weird laws]], and software repair all fall under your jurisdiction.
