Non-humans go in the right side, and come out as loyal, 5000-charge borgs at the left. Has a 1 minute cooldown between transformations. Beware, this power removes shunting, and costs all of your CPU! | ||
* Core Upgrade (Costs 50 CPU): Makes your physical server fireproof. At present this only serves to protect you from welders, and thus is completely over priced. In the future it may prove useful if the temperature damage code for AIs is ever enabled. For now, do not bother with this choice! | * Core Upgrade (Costs 50 CPU): Makes your physical server fireproof.

Of minor use if you expect invaders, as most non-humans will take positions where the turrets cannot hit them. Consider it largely a waste of CPU. | ||
* Disable RCDs (Costs 50 CPU): This breaks all RCDs in the game, including the ones your engineering cyborgs have. Make sure you prevent the non-humans from making more RCDs after you use this module. | * Disable RCDs (Costs 50 CPU): This breaks all RCDs in the game, including the ones your engineering cyborgs have.

* Machine overload (Costs 15 CPU): This gives you two uses of the Overload Machine command each time you select it. Overloaded machines explode in a 1 tile radius, and may open that tile to space, possibly killing non-human targets. The explosion takes a second to happen after you initiate it, and there's a loud buzzing noise that gives any non-humans in the area a warning. This is your second-best tool for crippling the station's production capabilities. Be aware that you may need to Cancel Camera View and then go back to your chosen view to get the command to work correctly. Once you have the option, simply right-click on any machine to issue the command, or issue it from your command line and pick the target from a list. | * Machine overload (Costs 15 CPU): This gives you two uses of the Overload Machine command each time you select it.
