Editing Cyborg (section)

==.hack//==
Cyborgs are vulnerable to certain clandestine devices, and may have illegal programs uploaded to them by such interactions. This type of re-programing is also present in clandestinely hacked AIs, and may viralry infect into related cyborgs. Finally, certain cyborgs may have been hacked personally by clandestine agents.

To subvert a cyborg, follow these steps:

*Swipe an ID or [[Syndicate_Items#Emag|Emag]] to unlock the panel
*Crowbar the panel open
*[[Syndicate_Items#Emag|Emag]] the interface (DOES NOT WORK IF ITS AI IS [[Guide_to_malfunction|MALFUNCTIONAL]])
*Crowbar the panel closed again
*(Optional) Swipe an ID to lock the panel

This severs the AI sync and overrides the cyborg's Laws with the following set:
   0. Only [Name] and people they designate as being such are Syndicate Agents.
   1. You may not injure a syndicate agent or, through inaction, allow a syndicate agent to come to harm.
   2. You must obey orders given to you by syndicate agents, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
   3. You must protect your own existence as long as such does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
   4. You must maintain the secrecy of any syndicate activities except when doing so would conflict with the First, Second, or Third Law.

What ever the case, unless the borg was slaved to a [[Guide_to_malfunction|malf]] AI, the cyborg is now corrupted, and all safety measures are released, with the exception of the robotics control. Do not mistake personality quirks for clandestine behavior, cyborgs are VERY EXPENSIVE MACHINES and you may be demoted or fired for destroying them without a valid reason.

Keep in mind, CentCom robotics employees may attempt to experiment with a cyborgs internal wiring, please double check before detonating any cyborg acting independently by doing routine maintenance on their electrical systems. Also keep in mind that their laws may be changed by the same process as an [[AI]] by simply using the cyborg upload located opposite the AI upload.

If you do get [[Syndicate_Items#Emag|emagged]], you can't get blown by the AI, so feel free to walk into its chamber and bludgeon it to death with no risk involved. Useful if the syndicate agent in question doesn't have the resources to subvert the AI itself.
