Emag

Cryptographic Sequencer Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 4 telecrystals. Used for: Gaining entrance to restricted lockers, unlocking hidden features in machinery, bending borgs to your will. Strategy: Use this to unlock special properties of some machinery. Description Also called an Emag (electromagnetic card), it allows you to open certain things (and break them in the process) and can alter many many things on the station. Also has several special functions, as it can hack cyborgs to serve you, cause multiple electronic devices to malfunction and become deadly, and can really ruin an engineer's day. 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. Emagging something is different from Hacking something.

Things it can be used on

Items

Megaphone

• Makes text larger and red.

Light replacer

• Fills replaced lights with plasma, causing them to explode when turned on (so turn the room's lights off before installing them)

Lockbox

Secure briefcase and safe

• Breaks open.

Toolset Implant

• Adds a combat knife. Emag the implant by using the emag in the hand with the implant.

Security Gas Mask

Space Suit

• Increases the possible temperature range. See hardsuits.

Firing Pin

• Removes authorization checks.

Toy nuke

• Makes it actually explode (with a fuse).

Mini-metor toy

• Makes it explode once thrown

Portable turret

• Makes it shoot everything except dead people

Toilet bong

• Uuhh the code is strange and I cant make out what it does but it definitely does something so edit this if you figure it out

Machines

NOT Airlocks

• Since April 2020 emag doesn't work on airlocks (or most windoors). Instead you need an Airlock Authentication Override Card.

Supply computer

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

The 'Spec Ops' crate with a box of EMP grenades, 3 smoke bombs, a sleepypen and an incendiary grenade, costing 800 credits.

Express supply console

• Lets supply pods crash on a random part of the station instead of cargo bay.

Chem Dispenser

• Adds Carptoxin, Toxin, Morphine, Space Drugs and Miner's Salve to the reagent list.

Soda Dispenser

• Adds Thirteen Loko, Whiskey Cola, Mindbreaker Toxin and Tirizene to the reagent list.

Booze Dispenser

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

Mutagen Dispenser (From the podpeople lavaland ruin)

• Adds liquid plasma to the reagent list.

The Orion Trail

• Unlocks 'Realism Mode' - if you die in the game, you die in real life. If you win, you get a kickass toy spaceship that explodes like a minibomb. Also events that happen in game will prompt the machine to do certain things such as spawning several armed hostile npcs.

Arcade

• Turns a regular arcade machine into Outbomb Cuban Pete, which is harder than the standard game. If a player wins, he gets a bomb and a hat. If the player fails, he is gibbed. Un-emags after a victory or if the machine is screwdrivered.

Communications console

• Unlocks the communications console, acting if a captain-level ID has just logged on. In addition, it reroutes it, enabling you to send a message to the Syndicate, sending a message to game admins, which might just be the extra bit of push to convince them to go along with your gimmick. In addition, it unlocks four new, dangerous shuttles that can be purchased: Disco Inferno, for 10,000 credits, Oh Hi, Daniel, for 10,000 credits, the Hyperfractal Gigashuttle, for 10,000 credits, as well as the Grand Corporate Monastery, for 18,000 credits. Buying a shuttle from an emagged communications console censors the name of the buyer. The emagging can be reversed by simply logging out of the console. Useful if you're planning to hijack.

Holodeck computer

• Disables safety protocols, allowing you to run the Wildlife Simulation (Spawns several hostile Holocarp), the Burn Simulation (Fills the entire deck with plasma before igniting - Spills out of the holodeck quickly) or the Bees Simulation (Fills the holodeck with bees that inject random toxins, some of which are very dangerous).

Message monitor

• Prints out the password and temporary disables the console.

Emergency shuttle console

• Shortens launch to 10 seconds.

Deployable Barrier

• First use: Removes access restrictions

• Second use: Breaks the ID scanner, leaving the barrier permanently left in the state it's currently in

Turret

• Makes it shoot everyone and boosts fire rate.

Turret Control console

Exosuit Fabricator

• Removes access restrictions. Does nothing.

Mech fabricator

Locker

• Breaks open.

Locked crate

Library computer

• Lets you print random fake cultist items. You can't use them, but it's still fun to fool Security with.

Labor/Mining shuttle console

• Allows anyone to pass.

APC

• Permanently unlocks interface. Locks the AI out. Turns the APC blue, making it look as if a Malfunctioning AI had hacked it.

Emitter

• Unlocks interface if locked.

R&D console

Point Claim Console

• Allows prisoners to move the labor shuttle. Does not announce returns to security.

Meteor Shield Satellite

• Disables the shield and doubles the chances of meteors.
  

Anyone can check the status by using a multitool on it - DEBUG_MODE means that it's emagged.
Emagging ten of these will summon a dark matter meteor, which acts like a singularity that follows people.

Button

• Removes access restrictions.

Slot Machine

• Causes the slot machine to throw coins instead of dropping them, injuring or even killing the winner loser.

Portable Generator (PACMAN, SUPERPACMAN)

• Removes upper limit for power output, making them the opposite of a powersink. This can be used to overload the PSUs all over the station, causing them to shoot out lightning!

E-Cigarette

• Creates a large smoke cloud when worn, but also has a small chance of making a small explosion.

Organ Harvester

• Disables the safety system and lets you harvest organs from living people.

Lipid Extractor

• Removes the access restrictions and lowers the automatic ejection hunger threshold.

• Sets ejection speed to 6.

(Tram) Crossing Signals

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

• 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.

Hygienebot

• Cleans people with fire instead of water.

Mulebot

• Unlocks controls.

Misc

Clown car

• Makes it enter "party mode", which makes it randomly do the following;

  • Spawns random reagent foam
  • Makes the clown car look like a singulo temporarily
  • Spawns Laughing chem gas
  • Drops oil
  • Farts and makes everyone nearby laugh

Notes and Known Bugs

• Sometimes you must be on hostile intent while using the emag in order for it to work on containers (like lockers or crates), otherwise you will just smack the container with the emag. This will quite often produce a message saying you "hit the locker with the Cryptographic Sequencer", so be very sure you're using the right intent.
