SINCEI BORG!

[christ110]

so, engineering gets a borg, medbay gets a borg, sec gets a shitty borg, the janitor gets a borg, and the service dept gets a borg,
but what about the science dept?
i propose a scientific borgi!
it has the capability of utilizing xenobio consoles and smartfridges
and has the following tools:
syringe + beaker manipulator
bio-bag
RPED (can hold some things normal rpeds normally cant, such as console screens)
screwdriver
analyzer
signaller (and we can take it from engi-borgs, who really shouldn't have it in the first place)
cell manipulator. (like the medibot's organ bag, but can grab apc/borg/mech cells.)
simple electronics manipulator (can hold airlock electronics/apc electronics boards.)
maybe a wrench too for helping robotics/toxins with canisters.

the purpose behind this borg, unlike the janitor/engineer/mediborg, is not to fully replace the dept, but to assist the dept, and other depts.
combined with an engineering borgi, the science borg can repair other borgs, and fully construct complex machines, like freezers or sleepers. it can assist toxins, or dabble in xenobio.
possible upgrades could be:
bluespace rped.
advanced analyzer (use it on an anomaly, and not only does it reveal the code/freq, it also programs the code and freq into your signaller)
bomb-resistant armor (mining borgs get lava tracks, and scientists get bombsuits)
mini-synthesizer (like the oddy synthesizer, except it only synthesizes 10u at a time, and you can only hold synthesizing data for 5 reagents at a time.)
emagged upgrades: (these are mostly ideas that are an afterthought)
flamethrower (fillable by just plugging into a canister.)
bluespace manipulator (like TK)

RPEDs can already hold console screens.

i'd do this right now but i already have 3 huge wip prs (they're almost done, though) and if i open another the maintainers/cyberboss will decapitate me and hang my head on the title screen for all to see.

RPED alone is an incredibly good idea for a borg, especially since they can access places that Scientists can't to upgrade absolutely everything that can be upgraded.

(Is there any actual point to upgrading Telecomms? But it's fun anyway)

[Anonmare]

I think upgrading telecomms would have reduced the heat the machines produced, but that got disabled a long, long time ago so there isn't any real point

We should add a Science Borg.
But all it can do is shout "FOR SCIENCE" and fall over, and not be able to get itself up again.

All I hear is "FOR SCIENCE *clunk*"

[Screemonster]

come on, we all know what robot science need to make

[Remie Richards]

FOR SCIENCE is a type of scream... maybe...

This is just mekhi coding in comic form.

sensei borg?

[IcePacks]

always be killing peacekeepers

[PKPenguin321]

I would be down to code this if sprites existed

[Professor Hangar]

What should a science borg look like? We've got some pretty varied designs with the other borgs.

Just making it a walking Protolathe arsenal, but the catch is none of its weapons have a firing pin installed. If it gets emag'ed or HoS/Ward/Capt puts a pin in the borg it can unleash righteous fury (within its laws of course)
