Machine Translators and Rogue AI/Borgs

That kinda defeats the purpose since it will be super obvious to the guy that the AI is rogue. If implant disabling is to be visible to the implantee then it should stun them/mute them for a short while so that Borgs/traitors have a little time to silence them for good.
The AI actually can't killswitch borgs, it can only disable them. A traitor can killswitch borgs, and could therefore killswitch humans. Maybe if the AI couldn't killswitch, but instead disable the implant in a person, that'd work. That way, if people suddenly stop hearing robo-chat they might get suspicious, and the AI could quickly disable the machine translator to say something sneakily. Just like with disabling borgs though, it'd be difficult to keep the thing constantly disabled.

That's a good idea. Let the traitor work for it if they want more rather than having the AI take care of everything.
