NerdyVampire Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 So I am sure many others have thought of this already but here goes. Right now we have a very strange string of hijacked drones hitting our stations, but these are fairly simple.. easy to handle right? They don't do much. What if we opened the possibility for a new special ghostrole (like 10% chance) to spawn a 'Syndicate-hacked Maintenance Drone', a drone that can only spawn after such an event has triggered. Its purpose is not to destroy the station, but to spread a special spyware program, by running around to APC's and manually turning them blue -- pretty obvious, and yet not truly an issue for any. But, once it has does this enough times (simple completion counter, maybe 20-30-50 times), its directive changes and it gains access to a more dangerous tool; The subverter. It works by the drone crawling up and attaching itself to the head of a crewman, and slowly but surely installing a violence(?)/obedience(?) chip inside their head. While like this, the drone cannot be effectively removed without surgery, but can be halted by EMP. Its light changes color, and its victim gets emotes such as 'You feel a tiny drill opening your skull..' I feel this could be a cool addition to the 'random' events that can happen and makes the maintenance hacking event a little more scary. Let me know what you think, if this is something to build off of?
