Refitting the DOORKNOB – Uploading Laws Made Easy

Uploading Laws to the AI isn’t something you should be doing lightly.

In order to do so you first need to extract the upload key from the robotics console in the RD Office, you will need to input it to effect any law changes.

Do not get angry with the AI if it does not want you uploading a new law, as Nanotrasen has pre-programmed them to be sensitive to law changes. Besides, Nanotrasen wouldn't want another SHODAN fiasco happening again.

But remember the Hierarchy. Law 1 overrides Laws 2, 3, 4, etc. A Law 4 telling the AI to kill all Revolutionaries isn’t going to work. A Law 4 classifying Revolutionaries as Nonhuman and that they must be eliminated works much better. Law priority is enforced by the order they are listed. A law is invalid if it disagrees with previous laws in the form of conflicting orders, or challenges the procession of law priority.

Keep in mind that if you upload a shitty/traitorish law 'KILL ALL HUMANS' or 'ONLY [Your name] IS HUMAN', people will likely form a lynch mob.

You make modifications to the AI laws here, by using AI modules. You can also upload laws to independent Cyborgs from the Cyborg Upload Computer. You upload a law to an AI by first acquiring the upload key by extracting it from the Robotics console in the RD office then grabbing an AI module of the type you want. Some AI modules (such as Freeform) can be used in hand to get a prompt where you can modify details of the law before uploading it. Then click the AI upload console with an empty hand to make it cycle targets between available AI's. Lastly, click the AI upload console with the AI module in your active hand to instantly upload the law.

The Core and High-Risk circuit boards are kept in a more secure location behind glass doors that only those with Captain's Quarters access can open.

It is cramped inside, and filled with energy gun turrets. The turrets and airlocks require AI upload access to control. If you do not disable the energy turrets before entering, you will be either shot with stun, or laser bolts (dependent on the current settings). Also present is a wall mounted flasher, which the AI can activate to disable intruders and a motion sensitive camera.

This chamber is one of the most secure areas on station. Breaking into or trespassing in here is justification for permanent incarceration. Both AIs and security are advised to keep a close eye on this room.

When resetting a corrupted AI, remember to disable the cameras that can see the turret control panel.

When dealing with a rogue or malfunctioning AI, this chamber is useless to halt the AI's actions (as it only has to follow its law zero).

By default, AI Upload is only accessible by the HoP, RD and Captain.
