All crewmembers begin with a PDA, loaded with special tools and programs depending on what your starting assignment is. Certain jobs may find their PDA more useful than others. Traitors acquire their gear with their PDA.
Basic Functions
- Notekeeper: Allows you to make text notes and save them. On an unlocked Syndicate PDA, this will instead bring up a list of available items to purchase.
- Messenger: Scan for other PDAs and send them text messages, set custom ringtones, or look at your past messages. If your PDA is in your belt or pocket, you can see what incoming messages are in the chat window and directly reply without having to pull out the PDA. By default the PDA is set to Messaging On; turning it Off will not allow others to send you texts but will also prevent you from being the victim of a Detomatrix missile.
- File Browser: Browse files in the PDAs internal drive or on the inserted cart. Job specific programs are loaded on the cart. Programs can also be deleted or moved about as memory permits.
- Atmospheric Analyzer: Shows the composition of gas in the area around you.
- Flashlight: Not available on PDAs that have a built in T-Ray Scanner.
PDA Scanners
Most PDAs have special scanners which allow them to act as a certain scanner you would normally use.
- A Medical Doctor's PDA can be used as a Health Analyzer
- A Scientist's PDA can be used as a Reagant Analyzer, showing the composition of gases in a container or chemicals in a container/person.
- Engineering and Electrician PDAs have a built in T-Ray Scanner
- Security and the Detective's PDA has a built in Forensic's Scanner
- A Botanist's PDA can be used as a Plant Analyzer
Certain Heads of Staff's PDAs are capable of switching between different types of scanners. Selecting the appropriate file from the CART will change the scanner.
Robustris
A program in the internal drive of all PDAs. A game coded while under the influence of space drugs. If you manage to beat it all the secrets of 2D SpaceMan game will be revealed.
PDA Modules
PDAs have modules which can be changed by using a screwdriver and a crowbar on it. The flashlight and T-Ray scanner are the most common modules.
