-Drones are non-human, insect-like creatures tasked with maintaining the integrity of Nanotrasen space stations. They are usually the result of cooperation between Robotics and RnD. Drones hold no loyalty to anyone but themselves, however their entire purpose is to maintain the integrity of their assigned space station. They cannot interact with any non-drone person at all, at risk of destruction.

 Drones are played by players who are currently [[Ghost|ghosted]]. In order to take control of a Drone, find a empty drone shell (usually these will be in robotics) and then left click it. See also [[Guide to robotics|building a drone]]

 ==What This Means==
-'''Laws 1 and 2 prohibit you from interacting with living beings'''. This includes humans, lizardpeople, silicons, monkeys, pets, slimes, animals, xenos, and basically anything that is not an object, another drone, or part of the station. You cannot help them, you cannot hurt them, and you cannot interact with them at all, ever. This does '''not''' mean you have to go out of your way to avoid living beings; '''they simply do not exist to you'''. Person in crit? Walk on by. Traitor murdering someone in maint? Not your problem. Xeno infestation? Just fix the holes they leave in the station.

-'''Law 3 gives your mandate: station upkeep. ''This is not the same as prevention!'' '''  Upkeep can include repairing hull breaches, cleaning bloodstains or vandalism, repairing power issues, and generally what a [[Station Engineer]] or [[Janitor]] <s>never</s> does. This is intentionally somewhat broad. For example, setting up the solars is definitely okay. Building a fort in maintenance is probably okay. Dragging around the nuclear authentication disk like a party train is not okay. And interacting with living beings in the process is '''never okay'''. If you see an active bomb, you leave it alone. There is no damage yet after all. Once it goes off, the station is damaged and only then does your third law come into play. ''Use common sense or get banned.''

 ==Abilities==
-Drones have two hands and can pick up and interact with most objects around the station just like humans. They also have an internal storage chamber that can hold anything they can pick up, such as a toolbox or sheet of metal. Drones also have built-in light sources, as bright as flashlights, for when they are working in dark areas.

-Drones can climb through connected vents to quickly move around the station. To do that hold down the ''Alt'' key while left-clicking on a vent. Use this to access areas without opening doors and to gather tools or materials for repairs faster than any regular crew member could. Think about cleaning up your mess after a task is complete to minimize your possible interaction with the crew (law 1).

 Drones can talk to and understand other drones, and can partially understand human speech like [[xenomorph]]s can, but humans will hear their speech only as "Drone (524) chitters." As a drone you can also understand binary. That means you can listen in on the silicon radio channel. This allows you to find out about hull breaches and other events that might require your attention -- provided the silicons are actually making use of their channel. However, you are not able to communicate on this channel yourself.

-Drones are here to repair <s>your screw ups</s> damage to the station. They are able to procure these resources on their own and may attempt to take them from your workplace.

 Remember, drones <s>will probably glitch out and steal your shit</s> are very single-minded in their focus on their task and thus are likely to acquire supplies you need for yourself. While a recent system updates has made them capable of comprehending human speech they can not respond and depending on how their logic core is configured, they may consider listening to you saying to go away to be 'interacting' -- percussive maintenance may be required to correct the configuration.
