You answer to the Quartermaster, and they answer to the Head of Personnel. The majority of QM's will leave you to your own devices, provided you're not abusing your position or rejecting perfectly reasonable orders so you can save points for guns or a hat crate. [[Hacking]] MULEBots and the autolathe would best be done with his/her permission, but most players don't care/expect these to be hacked.

'''Using a MULEbot:'''


Hacking the MULE is pretty damn simple:
You can control the MULEbot by clicking on it and unlocking its controls, but it's a lot easier and safer with the PDA.


{| class="wikitable"
# Drag the crate you want to deliver next to the MULE.
|-
# Drag the crate's sprite on top of MULE's sprite. It should load on.
! Response from multitool
# Open your PDA.
! Effect if cut
# Click ''Delivery Bot Control''.
|-
# Click ''Scan for Active Bots''.
| The drive motor whines briefly.
# Choose your MULE.
| Increases speed, disables motor if both cut
# Click on ''Destination: (set)''.
|-
# Choose a destination and click OK.
| You hear a radio crackle.
# Click ''Proceed''.
| Disables PDA control
 
|-
Your MULE should be on its way to the destination, with the default settings of also coming back home when the job is finished.
| The charge light flickers.
| Disables power
|-
| The external warning lights flash briefly.
| Disables safety, causes it to run over people instead of driving around them (DON'T DO THIS UNLESS YOU'RE A [[traitor|TRAITOR]])
|-
| The load platform clunks
| Allows nonstandard cargo such as humans, cyborgs, and other bots
|}


It's common for the Cargo Technician to, at the very least, enable nonstandard cargo and speed the motor up. The MULE is one of your best tools as a Cargo Technician, and can make your life (and subsequently the lives of the rest of the crew) so much better.

=== The Delivery System ===
== The Delivery System ==
In addition to MULEs and hand-deliveries, you can also make use of the disposals [[Mail_Sorter|mailing system]]. Note that a break in the disposal piping could cause your package to be lost (this hardly ever happens), so this is not always the most secure ways to deliver something. You can wrap up a piece of paper and mail it the same way if you (or someone at the desk) wants to mail a letter.
