Added a warning on the top, bolded important parts and removed the wizard hat + staff thing, what the fuck was that trying to achieve?

'''IMPORTANT: As a Drone you MUST NOT DISTURB THE ONGOING ROUND, you are bound to three simple laws. [[#What_This_Means|Understand what they mean]] and obey them to the letter.''' | |||
Drones are non-human, | |||
Drones are non-human, insect-like creatures tasked with maintaining the integrity of Nanotrasen space stations. They are usually the result of cooperation between Robotics and RnD. Drones hold no loyalty to anyone but themselves, however their entire purpose is to maintain the integrity of their assigned space station. They cannot interact with any non-drone person at all, at risk of destruction. | |||
Drones are played by players who are currently [[Ghost|ghosted]]. In order to take control of a Drone, find a empty drone shell (usually these will be in robotics) and then left click it. See also [[Guide to robotics|building a drone]] | Drones are played by players who are currently [[Ghost|ghosted]].

'''Laws 1 and 2 prohibit you from interacting with living beings'''. This includes humans, lizardpeople, cyborgs, pets, animals, creatures, xenos, and basically anything living. You cannot help them, you cannot hurt them, and you cannot interact with them at all, ever. This does '''not''' mean you have to go out of your way to avoid living beings; '''they simply do not exist to you'''. Person in crit? Walk on by. Traitor murdering someone in maint? Not your problem. Xeno infestation? Just fix the holes they leave in the station. | |||
'''Law 3 gives your mandate: station upkeep'''. This can include repairing hull breaches, cleaning bloodstains or vandalism, repairing power issues, and generally what a [[Station Engineer]] or [[Janitor]] <s>never</s> does. This is intentionally somewhat broad. For example, setting up the solars is definitely okay. Building an autism fort in maintenance is probably okay. Dragging around the nuclear authentication disk like a party train is not okay. And interacting with living beings in the process is '''never okay'''. Use common sense or get banned. | |||
Nanotrasen stations being what they are, gray areas might sometimes arise. When in doubt, [[adminhelp|ahelp]]. | |||
