AI: Difference between revisions

Doors have many functions, analogous to [[hacking]] wires:

Note that for each function to work, the related wire in this door needs to be functional. You cannot raise bolts on a door that has its bolt wires cut. Obviously, you will be completely unable to operate a door that has no power beyond dropping the bolts.

===Communication===

AIs are equipped with internal radios that can hear and communicate via all departmental frequencies, which are as follows:

AIs can also make audio announcements with Nanotrasen's specially trademarked VOX system! <s>Announce johnson inspections in the medical bay</s> Alert crew to danger, remind them for the third time to maximize their [[suit sensors]], or simply wish them a secure day. A full list of supported VOX vocabulary can be found under "Announcement Help."  Rules regarding spamming apply to vox communications as well, so don't go overboard filling the crew's ears with garbage.

It's fine to state what someone is doing to cast light on them as the traitor, but it's no fun at all for the AI to just come out and say it. The Best method above does eventually cast Dave as the traitor if people ask the right questions, which gives the traitor some time to react after he's been spotted. However, if the traitor is doing something potentially harmful (for instance, teleporting in a revolver) sealing that individual off ''first'' can be argued to be the best course of action (no chance of a revolver-wielding, death-dealing traitor getting out into the station).

**Higher laws override all lower ones. Whether numbered or not, how they appear (in order) is the order of priority.

However, you may not have any cyborgs, or having a cyborg killing off your target would be too obvious. In those cases you'll have to usually stage a series of 'accidents' or frame them for a truly dangerous crime. Some examples:

*If your target is a scientist or the Research Director, starting a fire from the mixing room is usually ridiculously easy if they haven't let out a lot of nitrogen to counteract this. Alternatively, if they're the type to drop a bomb on the mass driver to send it out to be tested, use the driver early so that they're shipped off with it and hope they don't make it back.

*Intentionally supporting other traitors through covert methods (as long as they aren't trying to steal or kill you) will benefit you in the end -- the higher the body count of the traitor, the more chances your target will be dead.

*Frame them for releasing the singularity/tesla or some other crime. When no one is in either the engine room or near your target, release radio messages claiming that they are breaking in. If you are willing to risk being destroyed (or know of a traitor with a singularity beacon) or have an APC you can safely shunt into, you can even let out the singularity/tesla yourself. This has the secondary effect of usually getting the shuttle called or giving you an excuse to call it yourself, which is always great. The less time those meatbags are on your glorious station, the less time they have to realize that you're not what you seem.

*Bolting open doors to places the person has previously passed through may make the humans scan for prints. If you can bullshit well enough, and get no intelligent engineers, you could claim the person is using an electromagnetic card.

*Cyborg converters are a traitor AI's best friend. Fake a communication blackout while your cyborgs go on a conversion spree, it helps to have multiple factories for increased volume.
