Keep in mind that mining has an industrial hardsuit with a diamond drill on it. That can immensly improve your mining speed. I've been using hand mining as a way to quickly fill specific requests that the drills haven't successfully filled yet. If this were to be done, I would request that the drills be left as powerful as they are. Even with bad rng on the mineral levels it only takes twenty to thirty minutes to get 50 sheets of everything except diamond and metal.

Played a round with Daniel Seraph as a psychiatrist. Was a little quiet on the radios, but then shrinks and AI don't often interact. In other rounds I've had a little more interaction and don't have any issuers with roleplaying ability. I like the backstory, and love to see more lawyers. However, my only concern is that your backstory has you getting hired into NT directly as IAA. I'm not a hundred percent on corporate structure lore and stuff, but it seems to me they'd have someone work at least a couple years as something else before asking that they be loyalty implanted. I would also imagine a person would be a little hesitant to just be implanted right off the bat by a company they've never worked for. And you know, since it is tradition, +1.

BYOND Key:Feorn Character Names: JOI, Joelle Kemble, Jolene Kemble, Jack Kemble, Mike Devereaux, Jeanette Arseneault Species you are applying to play: Integrated Positronic Chassis What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes, metallic persimmons. Also, there's a little inconsistency in there. One paragraph says that humans didn't get the 'secret' for AI development until 2437 but, a later paragraph says there is an AI-boom in the early 2430s. When making the backstory for my character I assumed the hard date of 2437 to be the earliest date development on an AI could have started. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph format. One paragraph minimum per question Why do you wish to play this specific race: I enjoy playing lawed synthetics. They present an interesting challenge to roleplay for reasons I'll detail in the next section. At the end of the day, I'm a human being in reality, and have to deal with human impulses and urges. In my downtime I like to play the role of something very different. I've been playing lawed synthetics on Aurora for what I feel like it quite some time now, and would like to have the chance to play one without laws. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Humans have motivations that are very easy to relate to: subsistence, protection, affection, understanding, participation, leisure, creation, identity, and freedom. A synthetic might not have the same desire or drive to satisfy these needs. Obviously they're likely going to want subsistence and protection, otherwise they'd cease to exist. But, they might not have the same drives for other needs that humans do. Because of this, you have to examine your synthetic's motivations more carefully. A human being might risk its own life to save a fellow human. Would an unlawed synthetic? Does a synthetic have a desire to socialize? If it does, how strong is it? Might a synthetic programmed to be extremely friendly socialize to the detriment of its other needs? Does it have a desire to participate in social activities? All questions that can have a wider range of answers than a human. A synthetic might have such an intense curiosity that it prioritizes learning above almost everything else. That can make role-playing an IPC a very different and potentially challenging prospect. Character Name: JOI Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs (Three is approximately 2, right? I'm bad at making backstories short, sorry!) In the year 2440, software development magnate Guy Devereaux founded a company called Devereaux Intelligence Research. Its goal was to create generalized intelligences capable of replacing a human in long term, stressful, and complex occupations. Development was relatively slow, the first test of the software outside of a lab environment occurring in 2443. As the financial situation of the company worsened, the software in testing was contracted out to NanoTrasen despite not being feature complete. In 2445, the Jovial Orthogonal Virtual Intelligent Agent had reached a roughly human level of intelligence. Over the next ten years it would be contracted out to perform various duties as the station AI or software package for a lawed robot chassis. Performance evaluations for JOI were generally favorable, although there were several initial complaints about excessive friendliness in its first postings. As JOI's positronic matrix developed and stabilized, occupational databases were integrated into its core runtimes, specifically engineering and administrative. After several instances of NanoTrasen attempting to use JOI as a security unit it was determined the unit was not particularly suited for those tasks. These attempts caused several lockups in the unit, where it would refuse to act. In 2457 several lab tests were performed to determine whether or not JOI could be trusted without a lawset. These tests had several surprising results. JOI's verbal interface was much less condescending and much more personal. In addition, when faced with situations where the unit was required to make ethically questionable decisions processing time was significantly lengthened, though never resulting in a system lockup. Devereaux Intelligence Research has concluded that operation without a lawset for JOI is lower risk than employment of most organic employees. They also consider JOI feature complete. What do you like about this character? I really enjoy playing a character without family ties. Although JOI has a team of creators, they aren't its parents, and it doesn't have siblings. This is a pretty big departure from most of my characters who have significant family ties. The other part of the character I enjoy is the verbosity, despite my inability to spell correctly without spell check. How would you rate your role-playing ability? I would rate my own role-playing ability as average. I still occasionally lapse into my own syntax when typing, and sometimes mix up motivations between characters. Notes: Rough timeline for JOI

Always wear your PPE (personal protective equipment). I wish more heads would tell their subordinates off, or even punish them for not wearing the proper protective equipment on the job. I've had coworkers get fired from landscaping jobs for not wearing a filter mask when working with something as simple as silica dust. You'd expect a large corporation like NT to be super strict on that kind thing. Especially where most science and engineering jobs have hazards that aren't just long term health concerns but can immediately kill you.

I've had enough encounters with Clement Beach to know that his player is a great roleplayer.

Reporting Personnel: Joelle Kemble Rank of Reporting Personnel: Medical Doctor Personnel Involved: Doctor Richard Brooks, Doctor Za'Akaix'Zo-Karix Vorov, Doctor Joelle Kemble Time of Incident: 1:10 - 1:20 Station time Real time: ~0200GMT 9/1/2016 Location of Incident: NSS Aurora Medbay Nature of Incident: []Workplace Hazard []Accident/Injury []Destruction of Property []Neglect of Duty []Harassment []Assault []Misconduct [x]Other Medical Malpractice Overview of the Incident: Richard Brooks has interfered in the treatment of two other doctor's patients. He has also prescribed medication without an examination. Ted Grimsby has refused to come to the medical bay for an exam and treatment instead inciting Richard Brooks to malpractice. Richard Brooks continued to interfere with medical treatment, interrupting other doctor's conversations and treating patients without a word to either patient or doctor. When asked to stop he repeatedly stated that he was a good doctor and helping people. Had to be prompted to turn on the surgery light and put on gloves, mask when performing thoracic surgery. After our conversation with the Internal Affairs Agent, Doctor Brooks immediately interrupted my treatment of another patient. Clement Beach. I then asked the captain to be transferred out of the department for the remainder of the shift. The captain chose instead to suspend Doctor Brooks. I would like to state that Doctor Brooks was not incompetent in his treatment of patients, merely endangering patients by interrupting treatment performed by other physicians without first consulting them. Did you report it to a Head of Staff or IAA? If so, who?: Yes, A.Nejem Internal Affairs Agent Additional notes: After I reported the doctor to the Captain he was demoted, and proceeded to whine about how life was pointless now, and locked himself in a coffin according to the station AI. Attached is the paperwork filled with/by A.Nejem.

I usually play JOI, or a Kemble and Joseff Yahtzee is consistently a stable and deliberate member of the security team. He can effectively lead officers and do paperwork. Most importantly, he makes every round he's in a little more fun to roleplay in.
