'''Quartermaster and Cargo:''' Another enemy that can be rendered impotent if you destroy their tools, Quarter Masters by default can order more insulated gloves, tools, guns, and armor, and have access to an autolathe. Destroy the Quartermaster's console and he's just a slightly better equipped assistant.

'''Security and the Detective:''' The detective's gun is capable of doing as much damage as a thrown floor tile, but it can be fired quickly, and so makes him a mid-priority target. Security has tasers which will mostly pose a friendly fire hazard to each other, but they can gain easy access to real lasers and the ion rifle. They also have access to flashes and portable flashers, and should be prevented from using them.

'''The Chaplain:''' His bible can dispense free healing, if he can get to a shocked person in time, he could potentially revive the shocked person from whatever status he/she was in. Not necessarily first on the list to kill, as he's only slightly better than a well equipped medical doctor, and when people go retarded from his bible bashing they become even more unable to use machines against you, and the crew is less likely to believe their screams of "AI ROGUE!".

* The security camera monitor in the Research Director's office (and Captain's on some stations) can see the cameras on the mini-satellite. Use this to check for strange fortifications or amateurishly obvious hacked APCs.

*Cutting power to the powernet is the difference between a malf AI making every door a death trap or a laughable 6 damage stun.

*There is an easier method to kill an AI than to thermite in: science should build an AI circuit board, cut cams all around arrivals, build it next to a wall comm, and put a brain in. Law 1 AI, other AI is killing humans, turn off the APC in the core while I distract the AI.
