You are on Space Station 17. One of NanoTrasen's jewels, this was an orbital weapon development and testing facility. Sadly, people who call themselves, "The Syndicate" send traitors onto the station to sabotage the station. They have access to high tech weaponry, and they are cunning, they are hard to track, and can kill without mercy.
Areas of importance:Research Outpost 1 (or RO1): Chemistry, artifact research, virology, and bomb making is here.
The bridge, or headquarters of the ship. The command belongs here.
The maintenence tunnels - dark, small, and cold, this is the perfect place for everything evil that the station has to offer. Also you can move through these tunnels and access different parts of the station.
Security - Where the security team hangs out, they also keep prisoners here. Guns are found in the armory here.
Med-Bay - What it sounds like, the medical bay. There are doctors, geneticists, roboticists, etc.
Engineering - The engine area. The engine, a plasma turbine, has enough power when overheated to literally melt everything in a 12 mile radius.
The weapons press - Where the guns are made!
The prison station: Remote, accessible by shuttle. Holds maximum security criminals.
There are several other areas, such as the cargo bay, arrivals, the cafeteria, etc.
How this worksI will PM a person who I want to make a traitor, giving them objectives and ETC.
THE ROUND TYPE WILL BE CHOSEN BETWEEN A DIE ROLL OF 1-5Also, we go off of rounds - if the station gets completely demolished or an objective is completed - then the round resets - and reverts everything back.
IMPORTANT! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ROUND IS UNTIL YOUR CHARACTER FINDS OUT!If a traitor, you get 10 points to buy your traitor items.
Also, ID cards: VERY, VERY important. If you are an engineer, you will have an engineer ID with your name on it. This will give you access to places like the engine and maintenence, but not places like Med-Bay.
TYPES OF TRAITORSNuclear Emergency - A few High-tech, merciless operatives are sent from a corporation hellbent on nuking the station. It is kind of like a squad of modern marines going back to fight in the civil war, where the crew has almost no amazing weaponry, yet the syndicates, lacking in numbers, make up for it in firepower. Their goal is to steal the Nuclear Authentication disk from the captain, and blow up the nuke, destroying the station.
Traitor - A syndicate traitor is sent onto the station to assassinate a person, or steal stuff form the station. It is not as easy as it sounds, and there are several ways you can kill your target. You get an assigned amount of Telecrystals (10) in your PDA, where you can spawn devious items that are also job specific. Here are my personal favorite items:
Changeling: There is a being that can absorb your DNA, and change into other entities! You must find and kill it, before it becomes you! It also has horror form, which makes the beast almost unstoppable. They also have goals just like traitors do.
Vampire: So I hear there is a blood sucker aboard this station! Beware, the more blood he sucks, the more abilities he gains! Like diseased touch, which is an airborne virus that slows down your opponents.
Revolution: Aye, matey, there be a mutiny going aboard this ship! A few people are selected to be Revolutionary heads, where they must brainwash the crew with their flash to join their cause in killing the heads of the station! (Captain, HoP, HoS, RD) Head Revolutionaries (Often called head revs) get telecrystals in their PDA, also.
Some items traitors may have-
Energy sword (5) - Lop off people's heads with ease
-
Electromagnetic Card (4) - Short out wires to electronics and gain access to places you don't have access to!
-
Voice Changer (3) - Swipe the person's ID card, and you now sound like them!
-
Sleepy Pen (4) - Stab people with this, and they fall asleep instantly. 2 uses, then you can fill it with anything!
-
Energy Crossbow (5) - Radioactive darts shot at people - gives you toxin damage and knocks you out.
-
C-4 Explosive(5) - Blows up. gibs people nearby, and exposes the station to vacuum.
-
Cloaker(6) - Makes you invisible, however, Ais can see you, so cut cameras. Cyborgs can also see you, get them on your side by E-Magging them. People woth Optical Thermal Scanners can see you, too. Also, thermals are rare to come across. There are only 3 on the station. The Head of Security, the detective, and security has them
-
Revolver (7)Increases your chance of hitting a person with a bullet by two, has 6 bullets.
-
Detomatix Cartridge(4) gets inserted into you PDA. Is traceable (unlikely), and explodes a target's selected PDA. It also hasa 25 percent chance of blowing up on you, and causing 50 damage. It will cause between 25-100 damage to a target(Depending on a die roll)
-
Remote Cyborg Controller (10) Is a rather large computer, so HIDE IT! Allows you to remotely hack into a cyborg, and gain full control of it. The cyborg regains control of itself once you stop controlling it. It also has a chance (10%) to alert the cyborg that it is being hacked into and fail.
-
Knife Shoes (4) Looks like normal black shoes, but a button on the inside of the shoe can make a razor sharp blade come out of it for a more damaging kick.

The Asimov Laws, you CANNOT break them unless someone uploads a new law saying so.
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Also, you can do actions in the topic, but if the people are not within eye or earshot, they won't know what you did. Or aren't supposed to.
COMBAT SYSTEM UPDATEWhen you engage in attacking someone, either punching or toolboxing, there are several die-rolling factors. Here are some.
1. Knock them down
2. Knock them out
3. Damage (Depending on weapon((Also, all the above give damage too))
4. They Damage you
5. They knock YOU out
6. They knock YOU down
There are several ways to increase your chances. For example, the element of surprise will double your chances of the dies landing on you, e.g., you have 6 entries and they have 3. You can achieve the element of surprise with a cloaker, or they don't notice you in the room, or don't know what's coming.
Here are the deadly weapons, such as energy swords, energy axes, and laser guns.
1. Severe damage, their motion is slowed, eysight is poor, etc.
2. Knock them critical
3. Kill them
4. Sever a limb
5. Knock them critical
6. Kill them
7. They deflect your attack
8. They manage to get away
9. They rip the weapon from your hands
Although, there are ways for them to defeat you, like, they can shoot at you too if you are a known target. In which case, whoever attacks first is on a die roll of 1-2. Also, with say, two people shooting, the chances of you being hit will multiply, with four it will quadrupify, etc. Also, if they have lasers and you are far away with an energy sword,they will hit you first. So you need to quickly get over there. Also, there can be laser fights. between two or more people :)
