Polysmorphs are the rarest species present in SIC space and effectively have minimal rights, not only as discontinued experiments but also creatures expected to go extinct in the next century. Nanotrasen abuses this to pay them nearly half of what a human would receive. They are also not considered under a standard Asimov silicon lawset, meaning you will not receive the protection or benefits that silicon crew can provide. In fact, a malign human may be capable of exploiting your inferior position to inconvenience or threaten you. It is advised to be cautious in your interactions with humans if the AI is under an Asimov lawset as a result, especially if you are a member of security. | Polysmorphs are the rarest species present in SIC space and effectively have minimal rights, not only as discontinued experiments but also creatures expected to go extinct in the next century.
