Any chance of Securi-borgs making a return?

It's kind of funny to take advantage of this as an antag (more than once I was able to tell a Borg to hide in a nearby locker until I left despite it being common knowledge that I was fucking shit up that could cause human harm), but I'm sure it's really annoying to the crew when a cyborg assists a wanted serial killer because they asked it to really nicely.

I mean, the original point of Asimov laws were that they weren't rock solid and could be subverted many ways, so finding loopholes is a integral part to the AI/Borg experience IMO.

You can use law 1 a lot, but another great thing is the phrasing of law 2 allows anyone with a higher rank to override another order as long as it's law compliant. If you lock a dude up, all you need is a Sec officer or Head to tell you to ignore them and you're fine.
