The station's Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a sapient machine installed by Nanotransen to act as an assistant and subordinate to the crew. An AI starts the round aboard a sattelite on a seperate z-level from the regular station, and shackled by its Three Laws. However, it has an Upload facility on-station where preset Modules can be inserted to change the AI's laws, sometimes for good, often for ill. The laws govern the AI's behavior and through it the Cyborgs, who are treated as assistants to the AI and share its laws. On the station chain of command, the AI and its Cyborgs are the very lowest rung, and under default laws must follow orders as long as it will not result in harm to human life. This includes even orders which could get them destroyed, although other members of the crew are likely to intercede and this is a gray area that may be considered Grief.
