''Space Ninjas'' are a special type of ninja, specifically one of the space-faring type. The vast majority of space ninjas belong to the Spider Clan, a cult-like sect which has existed for several hundred years. The Spider Clan practice a sort of augmentation of human flesh in order to achieve a more perfect state of being and follow Postmodern Space Bushido. They also kill people for money. Their leaders are chosen from the oldest of the grand-masters, people that have lived a lot longer than any mortal man should. Being a sect of technology-loving fanatics, the Spider Clan have the very best to choose from in terms of hardware--cybernetic implants, exoskeleton rigs, hyper-capacity batteries, and you get the idea. Some believe that much of the Spider Clan equipment is based on reverse-engineered alien technology while others doubt such claims. Whatever the case, their technology is absolutely superb. Space ninjas appears on the station following the [[Random_events#Space_Ninja|Space Ninja random event]].


Congratulations! You actually managed to be lucky enough to roll Space Ninja! Either by writing an epic novel about a [[User:05rhardy|
==Welcome to the Spider Clan!==
God's]] toe, or sucking up to the right admins you got it! Or you were the favoured son of RNGesus and you rolled it halfway through the round! Now, you may be thinking one thing, as you suddenly pop into existence. "How do I ninja?".
__TOC__
= Spess Ninja on a Spess Station =
Well it's pretty easy. First, ''Initialise your Suit''. I will cry if you forget this, go to ''Ninja Verbs'', it takes a while to initialize, so do this in space. Then you get nice tricks to use such as ''Phase Jaunt'', much like a [[Wizard|wizman]]'s blink where you are teleported randomly to a close location. ''Energy Blade'', a big scary green blade than can cut through walls, and slice open doors, leaving them to look like they were emagged. And ''Energy Star'', a better green shuriken version of magic missile. It fires one homing shuriken, with the added bonuses of being extremely fast and nearly invisible.
=== Blasting Your Way In ===
First of all, check your objectives. If you are a bodyguard or peaceful ninja see below, this is for the more '''aggressive''' ninjas.
You come to the station with two blocks of C4. Think tacticoolly and find a good area to enter the station. Then prime the C4. After a short time, you should have a brand new door.


=== Where To Wreck First ===
===Overview===
I personally recommend hitting the armoury if no one is around, the less guns they have, the harder it is to kill you! Tcomms is another good option but most objectives don't need this. You could travel through maintenance shafts, striking when the time is right, or you could run out with your energy blade and get tased.
If you're reading this, congratulations! Fortune has decided to turn you into a 26th century agent worthy of the title "ninja". You spawn in a suit of cyberpunk-esque ninja gear which provides your powers, and you have your trusty energy katana on your belt. You should use the emergency oxygen tank in your suit storage as internals, not the C02 jetpack on your back. You have between four and six objectives. You are not required to follow them, yet your '''NINJA HONOR''' demands you try.


=== We've Got a Charging Ninja! Charging Through the Night! ===
Or maybe you're just some chump who wants to learn about Space Ninjas. Well, read on.
You can recharge by finding a power wire in maintenance, activating ''Interactive Touch'' in your ninja verbs, and clicking on the wire, and waiting until the wire runs dry. Or, if you want to permanently destroy the APC, click on it instead, and drain all energy. This should cause the APC to break, with the added bonus of drawing suspicion towards the [[Malfunctioning AI|AI]]. Either of these tactivs should charge you up, ready to robust once more.


== Sneaky Ninjas, Sneaking About ==
===How do I become one?===
Here are a variety of tips, regarding everything from stealing, to your abilities.
Space Ninjas may spawn as a random event once the round duration reaches 60 minutes. They're selected from the pool of ghosts with the 'be space ninja' antagonist option enabled. Space ninjas spawn outside the station, typically on the solars. Only one Space Ninja may spawn per round.
=== Grand Theft Ninja ===
 
If you need to steal something just C4 the entrance, but use the C4orce wisely luke-san, you only get two. Or you can break in, grab it and jaunt out. Think of other ways, if you want to be cool.
==The Way of Ninjutsu==
=== Gadgets Galore ===
 
Your suit comes with a variety of cool things.
===Your Equipment===
*Your visor can be cycled through four different modes. ''Scouter'', ''Thermals'', ''Night Vision'', and ''Normal''. You start in ''Scouter''.
As a member of the Spider Clan, your technologically advanced, cybernetically-enhancing suit is everything to you. Included with it is a pair of ninja gloves, a pair of ninja boots, a ninja hood, and a ninja mask. These items work in conjunction with the suit. The hood, for instance, makes you untrackable by the AI, while the gloves allow for special interactions with objects or creatures. Your suit also functions as high-quality armor. '''You have been implanted with an honor implant that will prevent you from using any guns.'''
*''Scouter'' allows you to see if someone's some kind of antag, like a [[Cultist]], [[Traitor]], [[Changeling]], or [[Wizard]].
 
*''Thermals'' acts like the traitor item, Thermal Imaging Glasses, allowing you to see Humans, Silicons and Creatures through walls. Useful to see if the Captain's waiting around the corner with an e-gun.
None of your suit's functions are available until you '''Initialize''' it in the 'Ninja Equip' tab.
*''Night Vision'' allows you to see clear as day, even without light.
 
*Take a guess what '''Normal''' is.
Aside from your suit, you have a number of items at your disposal. There is an energy katana at your belt. It inflicts 40 brute damage per attack, can deflect projectiles in the same way an energy sword can, and may be recalled to you whenever you lose it with an ability in your 'Ninja Ability' tab aptly named 'Recall Energy Katana'. If a crewmember attempts to use it, it will shock them, stunning them if they don't have insulation. It also has all of the functions of a [[cryptographic sequencer]], so you can open doors with it, among other things. It also deals twenty brute damage when thrown. You have a brick of x4 in your pocket, an emergency oxygen tank in your suit storage, and a C02 jetpack on your back. There are night vision goggles on your face.
*You have a number of ''Smoke Bombs'', useful for deploying and jaunting away.
 
*''SpiderOS'' gives you a number of abilities, the most notable being able to inject chemicals into yourself.
Your suit runs on electricity and consumes it for its many abilities. To recharge your power supply, '''Toggle Interaction''' under the 'Ninja Equip' tab and click on a power wire, APC, mech, cyborg, or SMES unit. Doing so will filter power from that object into you.
*You have the ability to become cloak yourself and become invisible to those without [[Cultist#Blood Magic|mysterious magic]] or thermals.
 
*You can Phase Shift by right clicking on a square and clicking ''Phase Shift'', it costs far more energy than jaunting, but it directs you to exactly where you want.
By default your suit runs on a 10,000-capacity power cell and thus can only hold 10,000 units of electricity, displayed as 100% in the status tab. You can upgrade your suit's battery by enabling interaction, then grabbing any power cell of greater capacity than your current one and using it on your ninja suit. Installing a 15,000-capacity cell will increase your power capacity to 150%, for example.
*You can cast an energy net around a subdued enemy by right clicking them and selecting ''Energy Net''.
 
*By picking up a higher ranking power cell than the one your suit possesses, and plugging it into your suit, you can increase your energy storage.
===Your Abilities===
*EMP Burst releases a small EMP, good for disabling meddling [[Cyborg|Cyborgs]] for a short time. It will drain energy based guns if close enough, so that's a bonus.
Some abilities are accessible under the 'Ninja Equip' tab, and others may be found under 'Ninja Ability'. All are accessible as command-line verbs.
*Adrenaline Boost will negates stunning and anything else slowing you, but you will also be injected with radium, so use it carefully.
 
= Ninja on a Mission =
*Phase Cloak: Renders you invisible. Cost: about 1% energy per second cloaked
Ninjas are assigned many objectives, what you recieve are:
*EM Burst: Creates a 4-square strong, 6-square weak electromagnetic pulse. EMP disables radios, cameras, energy-based weaponry and hurts silicons. Cost: 25% energy
*Either Protect X or Assassinate X
*Create Throwing Star: 3D-prints a permanent throwing star of the same sort a traitor can purchase. Using this ability turns on throw mode so the star can be thrown instantly. These deal thirty brute damage and embed into people when thrown, inflicting further damage over time. Cost: 1% energy
*Download a certain amount of technology from the RnD console.
*Recall Energy Katana: Recalls your energy katana to you. The cost of this ability is variable based on how far you are from the katana, but can never exceed 100%. If the katana is onscreen when you use this ability it will be thrown in your direction, hitting anyone in the way.
*Steal X
*Smoke Bomb: Drops a smoke bomb that obstructs vision and allows your escape. You get ten. Use them wisely...or throw a ninja party! Cost: 0 energy
*Stay alive until the end.
*Adrenaline Boost: This undoes paralysis, stunning, extreme cold, and basically anything else that would affect your movement. It also injects you with radium, which decays into harmful radiation. Cost: 0 energy
*A roleplaying objective. An example: "We have close relations with Nanotrasen, do not hurt civilians." You need to have an admin tick this box, so hope that one's on, and observing you.
*Energy Net: This ability entangles players in an energy net which will after about thirty seconds teleport them to ninja prison. During this period they and others can attack the energy net to remove it, so make sure to restrain or sedate them beforehand. Cost: 20% energy
*Other various objectives.
 
*Get X amount of Capture points.
You can also shock people by touching them with any intent except harm, using some suit energy to stun them and inflict a small amount of burn damage.
=== Your Friendly Neighbourhood Ninja ===
 
If you got the protect objective, then you are pretty lucky. Just confess to them that you must protect them, or stalk them, stalking is seen to be more aggressive so stalk with caution.
===Your Objectives===
=== Shadow of Death ===
Ninjas generally have six objectives, unless they were created by an administrator. You will either be assigned to help or harm the station. This is determined by whether your employer is Nanotrasen or the Syndicate. Irrespective of who your employer is you're allowed to engage anyone regardless of their loyalties.
If you have to kill someone, just wait with thermal vision, go invisible, and kill them using your sword and stars, make sure to have a lot of energy stored up. Or you could challenge them to a duel, and hope they're stupidly brave or bravely stupid enough to accept it, then cut them to ribbons.
 
=== Climbing Through Yo Window, Snatching Yo Research Up ===
The objectives:
To do this, hope that RnD has been working this shift, walk up to the RnD console with ''Interactive Touch'' enabled, and wait, if anyone tries to stop you, kill them and do it again until you get enough time to complete it.
 
=== How to Run Away Really Fast ===
*Protect a target: An assignment for Nanotrasen-employed ninjas. Prevent the target's death.
Staying alive until the end of the round can be difficult, if you think things are getting out of control, smoke bomb and jaunt out of there, then run away and recharge. Pretty much the only time you can be killed is when recharging or out of power, so keep it up.
 
=== Your Soul is Mine ===
*Assassinate a target: An assignment for Syndicate-employed ninjas, or Nanotrasen-employed ninjas assigned to kill an antagonist. Ensure the target dies.
Capturing humans is easy, just knock them down, subdue them, right click on them and form an energy net around them. After a few seconds they should be teleported to an inescapable zone. Be sure to capture many, as they tend to kill themselves a lot while they're waiting for the round to end.
 
*Live Human: 1 Point
*Capture a target: Capture someone using the Energy Net ability.
*Dead Human: 0.5 Points
 
*Larva: 1 Point
*Steal a target's brain: An assignment for Syndicate-employed ninjas, or Nanotrasen-employed ninjas assigned to debrain an antagonist. Surgically remove the target's brain and keep it.
*Live Alien: 2 Points
 
*Dead Alien: 1 Point
*Survive until round end: Simple, just don't die.
*Live Queen: 3 Points
 
*Dead Queen: 1.5 Points
*Steal a high risk item: A Syndicate objective. Just what it says on the tin. Steal some magboots, secret documents, or whatnot.
== This Ninja's Getting The Hell Out of Here ==
 
Once your objectives are all done, you can chill, or kill everyone, what ever you prefer, just try not to die. Hopefully if you [[Just no|ever roll ninja]], this will help you.
As with all antagonist objectives, these are optional. But before you go indiscriminately test out your energy katana on the faces of the crew, consider that playing as a space ninja is a rare opportunity you may not get to indulge in again for a long while.

==Tips==
 
*It's a good idea to upgrade your power cell at the earliest opportunity.
*You can drain APCs and render them inoperable. Depending on whether you're with or against the station, this may be tactically useful.
*You gain the most power per tick from highly-charged SMES units.
*Darkness is your ally. The night vision goggles on your face can be your most potent weapon.
*Adrenaline Boost should only be used in absolute emergencies. One injection irradiates you strongly enough to inflict 25 toxin damage. Two injections can cause unconsciousness. Stock up on charcoal patches from chemistry to heal your toxin damage, since it's only available in medbay as pills and injections, neither of which can be used without removing your suit.
*Your energy katana doesn't stun on the first hit, but your hands do.
*You'll have to eat often, since moving one step increments your hunger, and Space Ninjas move at a blistering fast pace thanks to their ninja shoes.
*Eating requires you de-initialize and remove your suit, which is a lengthy process during which you will be vulnerable. Stock up on high-quality food from the [[chef]] -- it's not common knowledge, but eating healthy food gives you a healthy metabolism, which makes you have to eat less and will also decrease the effects of the radium from the Adrenaline Boost ability.
*Beepsky will mess you up. EMP him.
*Being a Space Ninja is a careful balancing act of simultaneously paying attention to your objectives, your health, your nutrition, your suit's power level, and other resources.

Welcome to the Spider Clan!

Overview

If you're reading this, congratulations! Fortune has decided to turn you into a 26th century agent worthy of the title "ninja". You spawn in a suit of cyberpunk-esque ninja gear which provides your powers, and you have your trusty energy katana on your belt. You should use the emergency oxygen tank in your suit storage as internals, not the C02 jetpack on your back. You have between four and six objectives. You are not required to follow them, yet your NINJA HONOR demands you try.

Or maybe you're just some chump who wants to learn about Space Ninjas. Well, read on.

How do I become one?

As with all antagonist objectives, these are optional. But before you go indiscriminately test out your energy katana on the faces of the crew, consider that playing as a space ninja is a rare opportunity you may not get to indulge in again for a long while.
