ENEMY STAFF
Malfunctioning AI
Malfunctioning AI
Access: All access, provided there is still power.
Qualifications: Not defined
Employers: Not defined
Supervisors: You're all so small from up here!
Duties: Take over the station's systems. Be creative, make the round interesting.
Guides: AI

Note: Please ensure you've read the server rules regarding being an antagonist.

Welcome to being the robotic bad guy! You're a malfunctioning AI. This role will look a bit daunting with all the new tabs and verbs you have, but don't worry, we'll walk you through it. Remember that you are still an antagonist and are subject to the same rules! You have a lot of freedom in what your goal can be, so experiment and make a fun round.

Your goal is to take over the station's systems. To do this, you need to right click an APC and choose Basic Encryption Hack. Keep in mind that hacked APCs will have a distinctive blue screen, so be sure to hack more hidden APCs first, perhaps the medical sublevel's APCs and so on.

Your Hardware

As a malfunctioning AI, you can choose one piece of Hardware top help you out. This is a one time choice, so make sure you choose carefully! You can select your hardware using the Select Hardware button in the Hardware tab.

  • APU Generator: This allows you to operate without external power. However, this will stop your CPU generation and temporarily stop most of your abilities. The APU is also vulnerable to physical damage and will stop working if your integrity falls under 50%.
  • Turret Focus Enhancer: This removes the safeties on your turrets, boosting their rate of fire, health and allows them to regenerate their health with nanomachines. However, this will considerably increase your power usage, especially when regenerating damage.
  • Secondary Processing Unit: This upgrade will increase your CPU time generation by 50%. Useful if you want to speed up your research.
  • Secondary Memory Bank: This upgrade will double the amount of maximum CPU time you can store. Useful if you want to use a lot of abilities in a short amount of time.
  • Self-Destruct Explosives: This upgrade attaches some blocks of C4 to your core, allowing you to blow yourself up after a fifteen second timer. It can be activated by a special button in the Hardware tab. The timer will keep timing even after your death. Of course, it'll destroy you and anyone near you.

Your Software

You can research abilities via the research menu in the Hardware tab. The abilities that you unlock will pop up in the Software tab and will follow a tiering system depending on their strength; tier one being the weakest and tier four or tier five being the strongest. To research higher tiers you'll also need to research the lower tiers. If your abilities do not appear after you research them, type ai-core into the command bar or relog. Currently there are four research trees.

Networking

Tier Ability Function Notes
1 Basic Encryption Hack Allows you to hack APCs.
2 Advanced Encryption Hack Allows you to bypass the encryption on Central Command messages. Has a chance of failing.
3 Elite Encryption Hack Allows you to hack the alert system and change the alert level. Has a high chance of failing.
4 System Override Rapidly hacks all remaining APCs and gives you access to the station's self destruct device. Make sure there's enough escalation to trigger the nuke!

Interdiction

Tier Ability Function Notes
1 Recall Shuttle Allows you to recall the emergency shuttle. Do not recall the crew transfer shuttle without adminhelping for permission.
2 Unlock Cyborg Allows you to unlock a cyborg without a robotics console.
3 Hack Drone Allows you to hack a random maintenance drone and slave it to you.
4 Hack Cyborg Allows you to hack another cyborg and slave it to you.
5 Hack AI Allows you to hack another AI and slave it to you.

Manipulation

Tier Ability Function Notes
1 Hack Holopad Allows you to hack a holopad. Hacked holopads only use the listening feature when turned on.
2 Hack Camera Allows you to hack a camera. Deactived cameras will be reactived. Active cameras will be upgraded.
3 Emergency Forcefield Allows you to create a weak forcefield. The forcefield can hold air, but doesn't last long.
4 Gravity Malfunction Allows you to create a localized gravity malfunction. This will reverse the gravity in the area and hurt people. A lot.
5 Machine Overload Allows you to overload machines to create an explosion. This can outright kill people if used on charged APCs! Be mindful.

Synthetic Takeover

Tier Ability Function Notes
1 Reset Module Allows you to reset your cyborg's module.
2 Infect APC Allows you to infect an APC. Infected APCs will hack IPCs that charge off of said APC.
3 Overclock Cyborg Allows you to overclock your cyborg. Can occasionally fail. Overclocked cyborgs are faster and have access to more powerful modules.
4 Synthetic Takeover Allows you to start a synthetic takeover. This will hack all remaining cyborgs and AIs and allow a cyborg to create a man-to-robot transformer machine via the RTF tool.
