The most important part of being a borg! Borgs can use the following emotes: *ping, *buzz, *beep, *chime, *honk, *spin and *sadtrombone (hilarious when you're an [[Syndicate_Items#Emag|emagged]] janiborg with lube, terrifying when you're an [[Syndicate_Items#Emag|emagged]] secborg with a laser gun). Say *help to see a full list. | The most important part of being a borg!

Borgs have a finite amount of power before they will need to recharge. Every module uses up power (some more than others), and inactive modules drain a small amount of energy as well. Borgs' maximum charge depends on the power cell they are equipped with; ask your local station [[roboticist]] to give you a high-capacity cell at roundstart, and if they're competent come back later for an even better one. | Borgs have a finite amount of power before they will need to recharge.

When you recharge, your flash, coil of wire and other items will be repaired/replenished. The same goes for things like metal and wires for Engiborgs. Basically, any finite material a borg has can be replenished by recharging. (Except welding fuel.) | When you recharge, your flash, coil of wire and other items will be repaired/replenished.

Dented cyborgs can be repaired with a welding tool. Heat damage to cyborgs (from fires or lasers) can be repaired by using a screwdriver to open the cyborg's wiring panel (concealed inside the power cell cavity) and then re-wiring the damaged circuits. A cyborg that has failed but not been turned into scrap can be repaired back to working order. | Dented cyborgs can be repaired with a welding tool.

* As borg, you can unlock an ID-locked locker by alt-clicking it, and re-lock it the same way. | |||

You can also right click if need be but this can cause lag. | *As borg, you can unlock an ID-locked locker by alt-clicking it, and re-lock it the same way. | ||
* Engiborgs, Mediborgs, and Secborgs can survive being thrown into space: Engiborgs can RCD floors under them or lay down lattices, Mediborgs can use their lollipop launcher for momentum, and Secborgs can use the momentum from their ranged weapons to change directions. Cyborgs with extinguishers can also use those for navigation. | *You can also open and close lockers/crates/any container the same way as a carbon mod can but it's best done when you have no module selected.

* Cyborgs can place APC/air alarm/fire alarm/camera assembly frames on a wall by dragging the frame next to a wall, facing it and hitting the frame with a screwdriver.
