Cryptographic Sequencer
The Cryptographic sequencer, also called an emag, is a tool available to antagonists with Uplink access which can be used to hack almost every electrical device onboard the Horizon. However, it has a finite amount of uses and is best used strategically or within a plan. Using it as a quick door opener, while a perfectly valid strategy, only taps into a fraction of its power.
The following objects can be hacked with emag:
Airlock
The airlock electronics are overloaded and fried causing the airlock to open. It will remain open until an Engineer comes to repair it.
Console
The camera decryption tool will be available for download. You can use this program to look through security cameras without needing proper access, or the correct Alert Level.
Tape Recorder
The tape recorder will screech upon interacting with it, and will self-destruct after attempting to use the playback feature.
Orion Trail Arcade
The game will switch to "Realism edition". The player will be added as a crew member upon starting new game, and in-game events will affect the player in the real world. Losing the game gibs the player. Winning the game awards a spaceship toy that explodes a few seconds after being activated.
Fighting Arcade
The boss becomes Cuban Pete. He has unique attacks that are harder to fight against. Losing the game gibs the player. Winning awards a bomb and a Cuban Pete collectible hat.
Cyborgs
In order to emag a cyborg, you must first use an emag or an ID to unlock its cover. Then open its maintenance panel with a crowbar and emag it again. The cyborg receives new set of laws when this happens that requires it to obey you and you alone. The Cyborg also receives additional modules to use.

New items become available for printing. These include: Advanced trauma kit, human hide, red soap, buckler, hostile tree.
