Cyborg	Cyborgs on the ship fulfill a variety of roles, come equipped with a multitude of modules to pick the correct tool, but lack any form of hands to carry objects.

While slaved to an AI, you are subservient to it and humans alike, making you a go-to for airlock access and tools for everyone nearby. Not following your laws, ignoring orders, or rousing distrust in any way is a quick ticket to being remotely detonated by console, and destruction of "rogue borgs" is generally less frowned upon than murdering assistants.	bHard
