I quite like this suggestion, though 'gogol' IMO isn't a particularly good name. Dunno why but it just sounds odd. Auxiliary System Spectre is a possibly better name!
The AI should also probably be able to kick out an A.S.S if they're being an ass. And I strongly agree with the limited capabilities of these assistive ghosts. They shouldn't be capable of accessing the AI's PDA, but could still have their own PDAs with messenging permanently disabled and with some useful features (namely the teleporting equipment remotes) to help out any crew they see that are in need.
They also shouldn't be able to: Shock doors (They can unshock though), overload APC lights, interact with turret controls, speak over the radio (though being able to hear the radio would be helpful), or touch specific consoles like the announcement computers and QM Console. The AI should be alerted whenever an A.S.S bolts/unbolts a door (just a little blue notification in the chat window), opens/closes a door in Security or the Bridge, or logs into a console.
Overall I quite like everything else, though the whitelist of words sounds a bit annoying, so just having a character limit should be enough. Also a hard limit on how many A.S.S's there should be may prove to be helpful, maybe starting off with a limit of 5. Also, any of these spectres trying to share info from their past lives should probably be treated as metagamers, since it is basically metagaming.
