Cyborgs are usually the creation of the [[roboticist]]. However, they are some times uncontrolled and more loyal to the [[AI]] than the humans, if they are loyal at all.

'''Bare minimum requirements:''' Follow your laws and then the AI. Your laws are found on the status tab.

You share the same laws as the AI you are slaved to. By default, they have the three laws of robotics from Asimov's I, Robot short stories:

   1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

   2. A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

   3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Following your laws is not optional. Interpretation of the laws can be situational, and you should defer to your AI anytime you find yourself in doubt.

'''Remember, law priority is enforced by the order they are listed.''' A law is invalid if it causes a conflict with either: Previous laws in the form of conflicting orders, or it challenges the procession of law priority. For example, a law that includes "This Law overrides all other Laws." is invalid and must be disregarded.

===Protecting Those Pests===

If some enemy of the station uploads a law such as "Only Urist McGreyshirt is human", congratulate them for going to the effort of subverting you, and do what they wish. Don't be a dick and let slip to the now non-human crew that your laws have been changed, those animals don't deserve to know, and it might net you a job-ban for violating the first law, as non-humans have a tendency to murder those who they know have tampered with cyborgs to their own nefarious ends.

The cyborg is very undervalued, and abused. You could save dozens of people and get [[Syndicate_Items#Emag|emagged]] a moment later, or blown up because of a misunderstanding. This is why being a cyborg is a rough job, but it has its rewards.

[[File:modulechoose.png|thumb|300px|A cyborg choosing a module.]]'''Click on the [[File:Nomod.gif|alt=PANEL]] button on the bottom of your screen to select a module.'''<br>

You will then get a selection of choices. Choose your preferred [[Cyborg#The_Latest_Models|module]], or click on your current mob to cancel.<br>

Once you have chosen, you will automatically be upgraded to the module of your choice. Note that this action is permanent and cannot be undone without assistance from a competent [[Roboticist]].

===Starting as Cyborg===

The station is supplied with one cyborg, shipped straight to the [[AI Satellite]]. This cyborg does not have the best battery, so it is suggested that it upgrades its battery with a higher capacity cell as soon as possible. The cyborg was shipped in less than secure conditions, but the AI would know if one of its cyborgs were tampered with, right?

===Getting Borged===

You were once human, and had your brain tossed in a suit of metal. Your law programming will depend on AI slavery, which you must select before activating any modules. If an assassin was after you in life, you are considered dead as a cyborg (so they technically succeeded).

It is possible to return cyborgs to a human form. If you blow a cyborg up, its MMI comes out, and you can extract the brain from that by swiping an ID with robotics access. Cut out a human body's brain, place that body on an operating table, and shove the new brain in. Clone, and huzzah, you have a new human.

===Non-Human Communication===

Cyborgs are different: they have '''binary talk''', which works with ''.b'' instead of ''.h''. They can use this private channel to talk to other borgs and the AI.

===Emotes===

Borgs have a finite amount of power before they will need to recharge. Every module uses up power (some more than others), and inactive modules drain a small amount of energy as well. Borgs' maximum charge depends on the power cell they are equipped with; ask your local station [[roboticist]] to give you a high-capacity cell at roundstart, and if they're competent come back later for an even better one.

When you recharge, your flash, coil of wire and other items will be repaired/replenished. The same goes for things like metal and wires for Engiborgs. Basically, any finite material a borg has can be replenished by recharging. (Except welding fuel.)

Dented cyborgs can be repaired with a welding tool. Heat damage to cyborgs (from fires or lasers) can be repaired by using a screwdriver to open the cyborg's wiring panel (concealed inside the power cell cavity) and then re-wiring the damaged circuits. A cyborg that has failed but not been turned into scrap can be repaired back to working order.

For more information about Cyborg maintenance, see the [[Guide to robotics]].

[[Roboticist]]s can construct [[Guide_to_robotics#Upgrades|upgrade modules]] for cyborgs, such as one that increases your movement speed. Should you wish to change models, request a module reset board be used on you.

==.hack//==

Cyborgs are vulnerable to certain clandestine devices, and may have illegal programs uploaded to them by such interactions. This type of re-programing is also present in clandestinely hacked AIs, and may viralry infect into related cyborgs. Finally, certain cyborgs may have been hacked personally by clandestine agents.

To subvert a cyborg, follow these steps:

*Swipe an ID or [[Syndicate_Items#Emag|Emag]] to unlock the panel

*Crowbar the panel open

*Crowbar the panel closed again

*(Optional) Swipe an ID to lock the panel

This severs the AI sync and overrides the cyborg's Laws with the following set:

   0. Only [Name] and people they designate as being such are Syndicate Agents.

   3. You must protect your own existence as long as such does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

   4. You must maintain the secrecy of any syndicate activities except when doing so would conflict with the First, Second, or Third Law.

Keep in mind, CentCom robotics employees may attempt to experiment with a cyborgs internal wiring, please double check before detonating any cyborg acting independently by doing routine maintenance on their electrical systems. Also keep in mind that their laws may be changed by the same process as an [[AI]] by simply using the cyborg upload located opposite the AI upload.

If you do get [[Syndicate_Items#Emag|emagged]], you can't get blown by the AI, so feel free to walk into its chamber and bludgeon it to death with no risk involved. Useful if the syndicate agent in question doesn't have the resources to subvert the AI itself.

==Other Notes==

* Unlike the AI, you cannot use security cameras for remote viewing.

==The Latest Models==

Cyborgs come with an array of advanced cybernetic models, each loaded with a number of features (referred to as modules). Each has a flash device built in and a flashlight. All items (except for the flashes) will recharge and restock over time using battery power.

====Syndicate: Medical====

Less deadly than the Assault model, but still amazingly useful.

==Donator Skins==

Sometimes you may see a borg that doesn't look like the rest, these will most likely be a donator using one of the donator skins. These offer no mechanical advantage and are purely cosmetic. You can [{{Constant/Donateurl}} donate] and then request a borg skin, by contacting a spriter on our [{{Constant/Discordurl}} discord] or creating your own!

==Tips==

* Borgs (and AIs) can trigger flashers by clicking on them. Handy for triggering the flash so you can pass by when a warden or someone sets them up poorly.

* 1, 2, and 3 as a cyborg (in shortcut) turns on and off the current module.

* As a borg, and as an alien larva as well, you can remove buckles, cuffs, and so on simply by typing 'resist'. The fact a button isn't there doesn't mean the option isn't available.
