Ghost | Whine in deadchat. Desperately try to make Robotics and Genetics remember your corpse. Show off your haircut. | Spooky | Irrelevant |
So instead of having a weary old chat with the other salty ghost you've decided to become a Drone. Drones are compact mechanical beings that seem to bare some loyalty to Nanotrasen infrastructure and a less loyal, somewhat aloof attitude to the other beings that live there. Your task as a drone is simple; repair the damage that has been or inevitably will be done by the careless crew members for the rest of your prolonged existence or create a cool hat club (no humans allowed) and moan when someone interrupts it and brings you back to the land of the living.
Becoming a drone: The ghost factory
Your lil' laws
Like cyborgs, you have laws that you must adhere to. Unlike cyborgs however your laws are not subject to change.
1. Avoid interaction with any living or silicon lifeforms where possible, with the exception of other drones.
Avoiding interaction is a cakewalk. You are only able to distinguish the outlines of other lifeforms appearing as formed shadows, and are unable to recognize the black mass who is asininely spouting nonsense, appearing simply as Human or Silicon. Nor will they understand you, your speech only being understood by the drone hivemind. Even if your ghostly consciousness recalls the being before you by recognizing their actions or mannerisms, you are physically unable to touch/hug/stab/feed them, as your safety overrides will kick in. So how exactly would you break this law? A human can't order you; your are not bound by them. Doing so breaks law 1. Listening into the comms for requests to fix things on the other hand is fine. Following a human around and constantly farting would be another example of breaking this law. Building a 3x3 cell around and removing the ground so that person suffocates to death is definitely breaking this law. This law is fairly black and white, the only way you would be breaking this law is if you really tried.
2. Do not willingly damage the station in any shape or form.
This law is not so black and white. Yes, letting off a gas of plasma would no doubt be recklessly damaging the station. But being trapped in a room where the only way out is through hacking a door open would not be damaging the station, if you fix the door afterwards. Removing a wall or deconstructing a girder in a breached area to get at the vacuum that lies beyond it is also not damaging the station. So this law is based on intent; if you are maliciously or recklessly damaging the station, then you are breaking this law.
3. Maintain, repair and improve the station.
