For example, let's say you spot someone with an emag stealing the captain's spare ID. There are three general ways to approach this.
For example, let's say you spot someone with an emag stealing the captain's spare ID. There are three general ways to approach this.


Bad
Bad:
*HAL9000''': Dave is the traitor
*HAL 9000''': <code>"Dave is the traitor."</code>


Better
Better:
*HAL9000''': Dave is accessing the Captain's Quarters.
*HAL 9000''': <code>"Dave is accessing the Captain's Quarters."</code>


Best
Best:
*HAL9000''': Caution: Unauthorized access to Captain's Quarters.
*HAL 9000''': <code>"Caution: Unauthorized access to Captain's Quarters."</code>
*Mike''': HAL, who is in Captain's Quarters?
*Mike''': "HAL, who is in Captain's Quarters?"
*HAL9000''': No one is currently in the Captain's Quarters.
*HAL 9000''': <code>"No one is currently in the Captain's Quarters."</code>
*Mike''': HAL, who was the last person to be seen in Captain's Quarters?
*Mike''': "HAL, who was the last person to be seen in Captain's Quarters?"
*HAL9000''': Dave was the last to be seen in the Captain's Quarters.
*HAL 9000''': <code>"Dave was the last to be seen in the Captain's Quarters."</code>


It's fine to state what someone is doing to cast light on them as the traitor, but it's no fun at all for the AI to just come out and say it. The Best method above does eventually cast Dave as the traitor if people ask the right questions, which gives the traitor some time to react after he's been spotted. However, if the traitor is doing something potentially harmful (for instance, teleporting in a revolver) sealing that individual off ''first'' can be argued to be the best course of action (no chance of a revolver-wielding, death-dealing traitor getting out into the station).
