[[Image:SWORD-Beacon-Inactive.gif|thumb|The S.W.O.R.D.]] The Syndicate Weapon: Orion Retribution Device, or S.W.O.R.D. for short, is a boss critter that appears on the station Z-level with the initiation of the random Syndicate Retribution Event, which is a major event type. In order for the event to start, a few criteria must first be met, and there are some exclusions to when and where the S.W.O.R.D. can be summoned:

== Summoning S.W.O.R.D. ==
===Medium Priority===
Though removed from the current methods of activation for the S.W.O.R.D. for players, there exists a method to summon the S.W.O.R.D. for players seeking a challenge or an additional asset to their nefarious goals with the hel of a Makeshift Syndicate Signaller. It is currently only available from admin spawns.
*'''Destiny map images''' - update location/department pages and the primary [[Destiny]] page with the newest iteration of the Destiny re-map (also send the new map images to Wire, ahhhhhhhhhhhh). ::*https://github.com/goonstation/goonstation/pull/3756. You did this to yourself.
===Makeshift Syndicate Signaller===
*'''Security Officer page''' - work with others to update the [[Security Officer]] page and a new guide for playing sec off; "run away"
[[Image:SWORD-Makeshift-Signaller.gif]]
*'''Cargo rework''' - update the [[Quartermaster]] page to reflect changes from:
::*https://github.com/goonstation/goonstation/pull/4635 (Lab Monkey Crate Changes)
::*https://github.com/goonstation/goonstation/pull/4392 (Momoberry's Cargo re-balances)

In practice, what would happen is that one could take circuit boards like the ones dropped by fishdrones on Manta or Oshan, or destroy a non-aquatic drone in the Debris Field to gain metadata that would make the Makeshift Syndicate Signaller usable. There would be eight metadata slots to fill, with each circuit board used or each drone destroyed granting one slot of filled metadata. Each used circuit board would produce a Fried Syndicate Circuit Board. If no metadata slots are filled, no green lights will appear to be on when looking at the signaller. For every metadata slot filled, a green light will turn on on the signaller, with a total of four lights one once all the metadata slots are filled. When the signaller's metadata slots are full, a red light will blink on the upper right of the signaller.
===Small Tasks===
I may not necessarily do these; they're up for anyone to do. I just list them here so I don't forget things.
*'''Add collapsable tables to most pages'''
*'''Update the steel table sprite'''
*'''Add Job Rewards icons to pages missing them'''
*'''Add missing mutations to the [[Guide to Genetics]]'''
*'''Add images to the Spy Thief Bounties page'''
*'''Add images to the [[Traitor Objectives]] page'''
::*https://github.com/goonstation/goonstation/pull/3586 / Add the Captain's bottleship as a valid destroy objective


Those with access to an Emag can also use the Emag on the Makeshift Syndiacte Signaller to randomly fill between two and seven of the metadata slots. This can only be done once. A red light would start blinking on the Makeshif Syndicate Signaller to indicate that it is active and ready to call the S.W.O.R.D. to its location. After use, the Signaller would break.
==Nefarious6th's Triage List==
Areas that I, personally, think are of high importance and relevancy; though I am not able or willing to do Every Single One Of These Pages on my own, so this is just a list of grab-bag "hey, this seems important to keep updated!" things (these are also the areas with the highest # of related PRs tagged for '[add to wiki]' [and sometimes without tags!]):

When the event starts, an event alert message is sent to all players 15 seconds after it begins, informing the crew of an unidentified long-range beacon near the station. The S.W.O.R.D. spawns somewhere on the station as an inactive beacon that is not capable of being moved. Two minutes after that the S.W.O.R.D. activates and a second alert announcement is sent to all players on the server telling them that a Syndicate-made object is aboard the station and that the crew is to survive however possible. The S.W.O.R.D. has high health and many attacks that deal moderate to high amounts of damage, even one with the potential for gibbing players that fall into the center of the attack radius, so organizing your crewmates and stocking up on useful weapons and medical supplies is essential. The S.W.O.R.D. is meant to be fought with the full force of the crew.

|}
 
</div>
The S.W.O.R.D. comes equipped with three different types of abilities: Anchored, Unanchored, and Universal. Anchored abilities can only be used by the S.W.O.R.D. when it is set in its anchored mode, but this does not necessarily mean that the S.W.O.R.D. has to be static on a tile and not moving. Unachored abilities can only be used by the S.W.O.R.D. when it has transformed to its unanchored mode. Universal abilities can be used by the S.W.O.R.D. when it is in either its Anchored or Unanchored configurations. The S.W.O.R.D. will activate an ability every two seconds. The chat window and combat log will show which player the S.W.O.R.D. is targeting on with each ability used.

| The S.W.O.R.D. will begin to glow red, and after charging for 1.5 seconds, it will lock orientation and unleash a beam that destroys walls and floor for 10 tiles in front of it. This beam is very deadly for both silicons and non-silicons. Silicons can expect to take damage equal to 80-90% of their maximum health in {{BURN}} damage if they're directly in the beam. Non-silicons can easily fall into critical if they're caught in the laser.

Trying to leave behind less dust than I make.

Evil place I store my evil nitroglycerin chemistry hints

Reagent Comps Hint Difficulty Effect Notes
Nitroglycerin 3 Do some research on real nitroglycerin. Easy Liquid explosive with an incredibly foul temperament. The slightest jostle can set this stuff off, with its power ranging from minor to vicious depending on the reagent volume. Woe betide anyone who gets too much of it in their bloodstream, as any subsequent attack will instantly gib them in a violent blast! Don't try to use it in smoke or foam. Bad things happen.

Note: This is the successor to Nitrogen-Triiodide, which functioned similarly by spreading contact explosive dust all over the floor and could be used in smoke and foam. It turned out to be a bit too abusable though, and was axed and later replaced with nitro.
