Security Borgs

[Ikea]

I think a lot of people are confusing thematics and mechanics here in this conversation. Thematically, borgs are tools, they're stuffed with human brains that are literally written over to be workslaves. Thematically, their tools should be direct in purpose and clearly there to help the station. This does not mean mechanically however they have to always be so helpful. Take for example the atmospherics transporter, thematically this is obviously intended to help shuttle around air canisters to help repressurize and the like, mechanically however it can also be used to plop down plasma canisters where your heart desires. Things like a hand for picking up items however, would not fit borgs thematically because they are highly specialized machines. What "borgs are tools" means isn't that borgs cant do the most of a job mechanically, it means they shouldnt just be metal humans and instead should thematically (through the use of mechanics) be highly specialized machines. The issue with secborgs is that thematically borgs are apathetic to antags, theyre just there to do there jobs. This doesnt mean that mechanically borgs cant care about antags, it just means that they shouldnt be themed to care about them. By introducing a module whose direct purpose is to deal with antags directly, you reshape the thematics of borg to be one who actively cares about antags ongoings (and how things are themed influence how people engage with these things, thus leading to more secborging etc).
