They also | Drones have two hands and can pick up and interact with most objects around the station just like humans. They also come with a drone duffel bag in their internal storage that can hold most things they can pick up, such as additional tools or sheets of metal. Drones have perfect night vision and can see through walls, like meson vision but better. They cannot see other living things through walls, not that that's important. All of this makes them adept at finding <s>more hats</s> breaches and other things to fix. | ||
Drones can climb through connected vents | Drones can climb through connected vents, walk through airlocks without opening them, climb over tables, and move unhindered through other drones and non-drones alike. To climb into a vent hold the ''Alt'' key while left-clicking on it. These abilities allow drones to access areas and gather tools or materials for repairs faster than any regular crew member could. As a drone, think about cleaning up your mess after a task is complete to minimize your possible interaction with the crew (law 1). | ||
Drones can understand humans and silicons | Drones can understand humans and silicons but can only speak in their special drone language, appearing as combinations of "|" and "." Usually, the [[Curator]] will be the only non-drone that can understand them. Drones can also listen in on the silicon binary channel. This allows them to find out about hull breaches and other events that might require their attention -- provided the silicons are actually making use of their channel. Drones also have their own channel, accessed the same way that silicons access binary: ".b". | ||
Drones are entirely immune to all atmospheric effects, as well as radiation. Otherwise they are quite fragile, and can be easily destroyed by an angry crewmember, stray bullet, hungry space carp, or unforeseen explosion. Additionally, drones can be detonated by the [[AI]] via the Robotics Control console in the [[Research Director]]'s office. | |||
As a drone, some humans will want to pick you up and wear you as a hat. This is of course of no concern to you. | |||

Drones are here to repair <s>your screw ups</s> damage to the station. They are able to procure these resources on their own and may attempt to take them from your workplace. Most of the time this should not be a problem for you, but if it is, pick up the metal or glass and the drone will leave it (and you) alone. | Drones are here to repair <s>your screw ups</s> damage to the station.

While recent system updates have made them capable of comprehending human speech, they can not respond. Depending on how their logic core is configured, they may consider listening to you telling them to go away to be 'interacting' -- percussive maintenance may be required to correct this. | ||
The repurposed W.I.Z Inc. machine-spirit hardware in drone tech is highly susceptible to hat based emanations. <s>Stealing</s> Borrowing of hats is an unfortunate side effect of this; do not be alarmed. If the <s>glitchy little bastard</s> valued robot helper refuses to give up your headgear, wear the drone as a hat instead. Some models of drone have an inbuilt holoprojector for headgear. | The repurposed W.I.Z Inc. machine-spirit hardware in drone tech is highly susceptible to hat based emanations. <s>Stealing</s> Borrowing of hats is an unfortunate side effect of this; do not be alarmed.
