Cryptographic Sequencer
Cryptographic Sequencer 		Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 6 telecrystals.
Used for: Gaining entrance to restricted areas or lockers, unlocking hidden features in machinery, bending borgs to your will.
Strategy: Use this to enter areas you don't have access to. Just make sure nobody sees you as the door will spark.
Description
Also called an E-Mag (electromagnetic card), it has 4 charges that each take 30 seconds to restore, which allow you to quite literally open anything. It will open any door, locker, crate, and can short out weapon locks. The issue is that once used on something, that something breaks permanently, doors stay stuck open, locker don't lock, weapons can be used by anyone. While this can have the desired effect, it also leaves a trail for people to follow (mostly doors). It also has a fairly noticeable visual when you use it (generally sparks shooting out of whatever it was used on), but besides gaining access through mundane locks, there are a number of other uses that E-Mags have. You can use it on Robots, to make them generally malicious to the station, they can be used on certain computers to gain unusual effects, the most useful of which being allowing you drop the emergency shuttle countdown to 10 seconds if you use it on the shuttle computer. It also works on the QM's computer to order spec ops crates, and is just overall brilliant for QMs, allowing them to unlock crates. E-Magging welded or bolted doors will also break them, leaving them closed shut for good. E-magging a cyborg will change its lawset to follow you, and only those who you designate. You can order it to then go on a killing spree, retrieve an item, or any other number of things! It's like having your own personal slave!

Experiment! Who knows what else it could work on.

Things it can be used on

Airlock

If it can be opened, opens it and breaks so it stays open.

If it can't be opened, just breaks so it stays closed.

Airlocks unable to be opened, due to such things as being bolted or welded shut, technically cannot be bypassed with the emag. However, it is but a simple matter of simply screwdrivering open the panel and crowbarring out the now useless electronics and loosening the bolts with a wrench.

Cyborg

Unlocks the panel if it's closed.

Rewrites cyborg's laws to obey you if opened, and unlocks some special modules depending on the cyborg type.

Doing so will cause the interface to "look damaged..." for anyone who opens/closes the panel afterwards, making the emagging evident. Cyborgs slaved to a malfunctional AI can not be emagged.

Cleanbot

Unlocks the panel if it's closed.

If its panel is opened with a screwdriver, it will spray slippery acid foam.

ED-209 and secbots

Unlocks the panel if it's closed.

If its panel is opened with a screwdriver, it will attack everyone in sight with lasers.

Floorbot

Unlocks the panel if it's closed.

If its panel is opened with a screwdriver, it will deconstruct floors into open space.

Medbot

Unlocks the panel if it's closed.

If its panel is opened with a screwdriver, it will inject 5u chloral hydrate and damage you based on what they would have healed (brute if you don't need treatment) per step.

Honkbot

Unlocks the panel if it's closed.

If its panel is opened with a screwdriver, it will play disturbing noises and HONK people. If attacked, it will HONK the offender into oblivion.

Mulebot

Unlocks controls.

Supply computer

Unlocks buying/selling contraband as well as 1 new item:

Booze Dispenser

Adds ethanol, iron, mint toxin and Atomic Bomb to the reagent list.

Mutagen Dispenser (From the podpeople lavaland ruin)
