You are the Space Ninja!
Congratulations! You actually managed to be lucky enough to roll Space Ninja! Either by writing an epic novel about a God's toe, or sucking up to the right admins you got it! Or you were the favoured son of RNGesus and you rolled it halfway through the round! Now, you may be thinking one thing, as you suddenly pop into existence. "How do I ninja?".
Spess Ninja on a Spess Station
Well it's pretty easy. First, Initialise your Suit. I will cry if you forget this, go to Ninja Verbs, it takes a while to initialize, so do this in space. Then you get nice tricks to use such as Phase Jaunt, much like a wizman's blink where you are teleported randomly to a close location. Energy Blade, a big scary green blade than can cut through walls, and slice open doors, leaving them to look like they were emagged. And Energy Star, a better green shuriken version of magic missile. It fires one homing shuriken, with the added bonuses of being extremely fast and nearly invisible.
Blasting Your Way In
First of all, check your objectives. If you are a bodyguard or peaceful ninja see below, this is for the more aggressive ninjas. You come to the station with two blocks of C4. Think tacticoolly and find a good area to enter the station. Then prime the C4. After a short time, you should have a brand new door.
Where To Wreck First
I personally recommend hitting the armoury if no one is around, the less guns they have, the harder it is to kill you! Tcomms is another good option but most objectives don't need this. You could travel through maintenance shafts, striking when the time is right, or you could run out with your energy blade and get tased.
We've Got a Charging Ninja! Charging Through the Night!
You can recharge by finding a power wire in maintenance, activating Interactive Touch in your ninja verbs, and clicking on the wire, and waiting until the wire runs dry. Or, if you want to permanently destroy the APC, click on it instead, and drain all energy. This should cause the APC to break, with the added bonus of drawing suspicion towards the AI. Either of these tactivs should charge you up, ready to robust once more.
Sneaky Ninjas, Sneaking About
Here are a variety of tips, regarding everything from stealing, to your abilities.
Grand Theft Ninja
If you need to steal something just C4 the entrance, but use the C4orce wisely luke-san, you only get two. Or you can break in, grab it and jaunt out. Think of other ways, if you want to be cool.
Gadgets Galore
Your suit comes with a variety of cool things.
- Your visor can be cycled through four different modes. Scouter, Thermals, Night Vision, and Normal. You start in Scouter.
- Scouter allows you to see if someone's some kind of antag, like a Cultist, Traitor, Changeling, or Wizard.
- Thermals acts like the traitor item, Thermal Imaging Glasses, allowing you to see Humans, Silicons and Creatures through walls. Useful to see if the Captain's waiting around the corner with an e-gun.
- Night Vision allows you to see clear as day, even without light.
- Take a guess what Normal is.
- You have a number of Smoke Bombs, useful for deploying and jaunting away.
- SpiderOS gives you a number of abilities, the most notable being able to inject chemicals into yourself.
- You have the ability to become cloak yourself and become invisible to those without mysterious magic or thermals.
- You can Phase Shift by right clicking on a square and clicking Phase Shift, it costs far more energy than jaunting, but it directs you to exactly where you want.
- You can cast an energy net around a subdued enemy by right clicking them and selecting Energy Net.
- By picking up a higher ranking power cell than the one your suit possesses, and plugging it into your suit, you can increase your energy storage.
- EMP Burst releases a small EMP, good for disabling meddling Cyborgs for a short time. It will drain energy based guns if close enough, so that's a bonus.
- Adrenaline Boost will negates stunning and anything else slowing you, but you will also be injected with radium, so use it carefully.
Ninja on a Mission
Ninjas are assigned many objectives, what you recieve are:
- Either Protect X or Assassinate X
- Download a certain amount of technology from the RnD console.
- Steal X
- Stay alive until the end.
- A roleplaying objective. An example: "We have close relations with Nanotrasen, do not hurt civilians." You need to have an admin tick this box, so hope that one's on, and observing you.
- Other various objectives.
- Get X amount of Capture points.
Your Friendly Neighbourhood Ninja
If you got the protect objective, then you are pretty lucky. Just confess to them that you must protect them, or stalk them, stalking is seen to be more aggressive so stalk with caution.
Shadow of Death
If you have to kill someone, just wait with thermal vision, go invisible, and kill them using your sword and stars, make sure to have a lot of energy stored up. Or you could challenge them to a duel, and hope they're stupidly brave or bravely stupid enough to accept it, then cut them to ribbons.
Climbing Through Yo Window, Snatching Yo Research Up
To do this, hope that RnD has been working this shift, walk up to the RnD console with Interactive Touch enabled, and wait, if anyone tries to stop you, kill them and do it again until you get enough time to complete it.
How to Run Away Really Fast
Staying alive until the end of the round can be difficult, if you think things are getting out of control, smoke bomb and jaunt out of there, then run away and recharge. Pretty much the only time you can be killed is when recharging or out of power, so keep it up.
Your Soul is Mine
Capturing humans is easy, just knock them down, subdue them, right click on them and form an energy net around them. After a few seconds they should be teleported to an inescapable zone. Be sure to capture many, as they tend to kill themselves a lot while they're waiting for the round to end.

This Ninja's Getting The Hell Out of Here
Once your objectives are all done, you can chill, or kill everyone, what ever you prefer, just try not to die. Hopefully if you ever roll ninja, this will help you.
