Another variation of Assassination, except your target will always be an [[AI]]. A little tougher than your typical target, as the AI is usually installed in a well-fortified location. It's also not as straight-forward as simply uploading a law to have it kill itself, as someone can easily just walk into the AI core and restore it back to full health. | Another variation of Assassination, except your target will always be an [[AI]].

Good job, you dirty traitor you! Whatever your other objectives were, you have now successfully completed them! Now, the difficult part, getting off of the station in either the [[Escape Shuttle]] or an [[Escape pod]]. There are two main ways to go about this task, dynamic and stealth. Dynamic players are going to want to cause the damage to get the shuttle called. Stealthy players are going to want to hang back and let the station tear itself to pieces. Most players will need to combine these two ways to succeed, regardless of the escape alone modifier on the escape objective. The more people on the shuttle, the greater chance some MAD BOMBER will kill you or some dude will robust you for no reason or some horrible admin related fatality will occur. How you do this is up to you, but remember that one [[emag]] or 3 different [[Heads of Staff]] IDs will reduce the timer to 10 seconds until departure. | Good job, you dirty traitor you!

If you don't have hijack or martyr, you will have a chance of getting a minor objective to complete. These objectives will vary in difficulty, from something as small as taking a photo to something as big as deleting your security record. | If you don't have hijack or martyr, you will have a chance of getting a minor objective to complete.

You have 20 Telecrystals built into your PDA, pen, headset or implant itching to be spent on traitory goods. '''To access your uplink from the PDA, go to the IC tab in the actual BYOND window and click on the Notes tab. Get the code from the Notes window and enter it into your PDA ringtone. If your uplink is on a pen, you'll find the degrees to twist the pen in the Notes tab. If your uplink is on your headset, you will find the frequency to tune to in order to access the headset. Implant uplink can be accessed at any time by pressing the action button at the top of your screen but will have only 16 TC. REMEMBER TO LOCK THE UPLINK!''' Check [[Syndicate Items]], for a more detailed description on the goods. But don't go racing off to order those items ASAP, since people are more clustered in the beginning of rounds; the AI is probably wondering how it switches cameras, and the Captain is off huffing paint somewhere. Although it can be useful to get items early, holding off until you need the item also has merit, so 6 crystals don't get wasted on an emag when you find the captain's spare ID on that assistant you just killed. | ||
Some tools are roundstart job specific, so you may want to change up your plans or try something fun when you get the chance. Fry and eat human corpses with a chef only body deep frier, or use the Modified Syringe Gun to make [[Assistant|shitters]] deaf, dumb, and blind from 3 tiles away, or go for the ever popular 20+ TC stuffed toolbox approach. It's not always about the greentext (though that would certainly be nice to get), and your only limit is your creativity. | Some tools are roundstart job specific, so you may want to change up your plans or try something fun when you get the chance.

Blood Brothers is a variant of Traitor where you are bound to work with another random person on the station. Together you and some random traitor will work together to pull off any of the regular traitor objectives.

Together you and some random traitor will work together to pull off any of the regular traitor objectives. '''It should be noted that you will not receive an uplink but instead will have learned the recipes of the makeshift [[Syndicate Items|weapon book]]''' and will be forced to work with only the station. | ||
Blood Brother is a generally loathed variant as you'll usually be tasked with someone worse than you (they will generally be a burden, forcing you to carry them) or someone better than you (while this does mean you'll get your ass carried, this makes you the burden on the team dynamic). A common routine for Blood Brothers is to divide and conquer, having person A to objective A and person B do objective B. While having a lackey (or being one) is good in some circumstances, people generally don't like working with anyone outside of their favorite metabuddy and you will usually find yourself at each other's throats. | Blood Brother is a generally loathed variant as you'll usually be tasked with someone worse than you (they will generally be a burden, forcing you to carry them) or someone better than you (while this does mean you'll get your ass carried, this makes you the burden on the team dynamic).
