A melee taser thats that same as the ranged one? Sure.
Is there a way to build a backdoor into my mainframe? (Or any robot for that matter) That way my team could easily hack me and remotely take control? Additionally, would they be able to set up a striped down interface, with no direct audio/video display, and would they be able to effectively control me using “suggestions” and such, as apposed to the direct video game style control that would be more normal.
As for actions. Pay back Shark-Man (-400), then immediately take out another 400 and buy a brain backup. How much would the medical bill to repair the leg cost? If less than 100, do it, if more, take out up to 100 more on the loan to do it.

She is a Waifu-Bot based on a player avatar from the Waifu Assassins Guild series.
Tall, Skinny, Pale, Gaunt. Almost bald even though he can’t be older than 30. Patchy and scruffy stubble that goes all the way down his neck. His eyes aren’t soulless per se, but they have unnaturally white irises, and are filled with a certain, determination.
Background:
Once known as Woldo, a gamer who replaced his physical body with a android based on his famous video game avatar.
Stuart. He was always an odd child. He wanted to be skilled at killing people even as a small child. His parents were very wealthy, and very overprotective of him. Instead of getting him karate lessons or into sports, they got him the most state-of-the-art simulation entertainment system money could buy. He got good at what he did. By the time he was 10, he was the number one Waifu Assassins Guild IX player in the world. However, once he got old enough, it was time to get a job. And since he’s literally good for nothing else, and he fancies himself a killer, he decided to join the Omni-tech security crew.

Technically you can already let people do that if you just allow them to connect to you. Though...there is some mild danger in that they might accidently turn things like breathing or temperature control off if they're really bad at their job.
Alright. 50 credits for the leg.
Would a picture or video of Mr. Friend be enough to cause the effect or does it need to be a live feed?
How do the Friendzoned know what Mr. Friend wants? Does he have to tell them explicitly or do they magically just know?
Is the OMNITECH Occult Dampener capable of stopping the Befriending or the transmission of orders?
Questions
Images that are sufficiently spaced in time are not dangerous. His handlers used a combination of motion tracking and cameras which took pictures roughly every 5 seconds as a method of observing him. However, any faster and even a series of images appears to be enough.
We aren't sure. They seem to have some idea without being explictly told, yet he also commands them verbally or through gestures when he is able to. We believe whatever perceptual quirk creates the hypnotic state also conveys some degree of his desires, but that he refines the exact actions to perform via verbal commands.
No. Whatever the effect is, it does not seem occult in nature. It can be replicated using video footage of the subject so it appears to be something intrinsic in his being."This whole mission sounds like its going to end poorly. Its also kind of weird that we can kill everyone in there that isn't Mr. Friend."
Go get a blindfold and some ear plugs.

I am also curious, does Mr. Friend perceive what his puppets perceive or are are his senses limited to his body? If Mr. Friend was controlling me right now, would he see and hear everything I’m seeing and hearing right now? Does Mr Friend have the ability to view and alter memories of people he is controlling?
ask some questions of my own
He does not. As far as we can tell, aside from his perceptual threat he's an entirely mundane human. He cannot alter memories or anything about the person; in fact people under his control completely black out and remember nothing of their time as a puppet. Buy a Mental Purgant as well and make sure to ask if it has any side effects or downsides.

Other than having your brain force reset to a earlier state? Probably not. I've got a 50 page disclaimer packet here if you want it but it lists things like "Foot fungus" as a side effect so it might be a bit broad. The good lads in legal have to keep us covered. ((Little time so this post might be a bit haphazard, sorry. I tried not to have any duplicate questions though. If it's too much just stop whenever you grow too annoyed!))
1) What does he look like, or how can we recognize/identify him for sure? In case he tries to pretend to be a puppet or has a puppet pretend to be him.
2) Can one be influenced without actively knowing/being aware that it is happened or happened?
3) Are there physical changes to puppeted people? Perhaps altered brainwave patterns? (Assume any scanning would be done with those portable scanners we can buy from the armory, the one my class starts with).
4) What were the original containment procedures and countermeasures?
5) Any testing data we would be allowed to look into?
6) Can he stay in control by making people e.g. hear recordings or view photos? What about radio transmissions? And could he e.g. Tape a small piece of fingernail to a person to permanently stay in control?
7) Can we get a big ol’ box to transport the subject in?
8) Does his power work on animals? What about artificial intelligences?
9) How did omni originally capture/receive him?
1.
2. No. You will fall unconcious when the effect begins.
3. Tests do show altered brainwave patterns, but the issue is that they are not altered beyond normal human limits. Instead they simply appear to be asleep or very relaxed.
4. Originally he was contained within a specially made sensory lockout chamber which was monitored only with still images and motion sensing. Those individuals who worked with him did so in containment suits which used a similar still image and motion sensor mix. Tests were performed in an adjoining chamber. All chambers had airlocks and "decontamination" chambers where the workers would wait for upwards of an hour until it could be certain they were not under control. We do not know how he managed to breach these procedures; we believe it to be due to handler error that he capitalized upon. We do not believe it was planned in advance.
5. What would you like to know?
6. Yes, he can use radio or video to transmit control, though new recordings or transmissions are required to make the puppets continue to behave as he desires. Old recordings carry the same "hypnotic message" and cause repetitious actions. His body parts do not appear to carry the hypnotic power on their own; it appears to be connected to his body as a whole or at least mostly as a whole.
7. We can provide a containment chamber.
8. Animals yes, but pure machine intelligences no. Much as how AI is immune to optical illusions, they are immune to his effects.
9. Originally he was the leader of a cult...or something like it...in eastern europe. OMNI became interested in him due to strange events and stories surrounding him, and the fact that despite being wanted by many agencies and individuals, he was never captured and never seemed to go into hiding. He stood his ground and his enemies vanished or joined him. OMNI managed to capture him only after the loss of three retrevial teams; through the use of containment suits with hard preceptive and memetic lockout protocols. He has been in custody for about 3 years, behaving fairly well and mostly amused, though occasionally highly aggitated. Calling him Mr. Friend is dumb. I'mma call him Derp.
Are controlled subjects dumb, or just as clever as they always are? If someone is controlled, could they be asked about their opinion of Derp, and deliberately lie about it to fool their former allies?
Does visualizing Derp count as perceiving him? Does remembering Derp count as perceiving him? Does being tricked into believing that one is perceiving Derp count as perceiving him?
Is memory retained normally during and after the control? Can a person who was controlled, after being separated and quarantined, describe everything that happened to them during the control?
Can perception of him be drowned out? For instance, if there's an immensely loud siren going constantly, loud enough to drown out his voice, would a person still get controlled if he spoke to them from a short distance away?
What is the cost of failing our mission parameters, by accidentally killing Derp?
Am I required to join this mission even if I'm suffering from crippling indigestion which renders me nearly useless and basically confined to the bathroom?
Will we have any kind of mission control during this? Some kind of external commander who can make decisions about which security members to shock into unconsciousness? Or would we have to choose one of our own people to stay back and act as mission control?
Is there a maximum amount of time that someone can be controlled after being quarantined from Derp? Like, will everyone always be completely back to their senses an hour or so later? If so, is it a short enough time period that we could reasonably capture someone, confine them until they're free, and then interrogate them?
Name: Wilfred Seven
Physical Description: He looks identical to Wil Wheaton. That's because he's an identical clone of Wil Wheaton; he actually can't even shave, or even change his hair or anything, it always grows back to the default form within a day. Scarrification might let Wilfred change his appearance, but he's not really up for that.
Background: He was batch manufactured along with nine other Wheaton clones, for use in some film that he's never heard of and was never involved with; only the three "best" clones were actually selected for use in the film, while the other seven--really, the other four, Wil Three survived less than a week--were sold to OMNITECH as cheap labor. Somehow, OMNITECH decided to hire Seven, rather than just enslave him, although he's not really sure what the difference is. Notably, Wilfred's flaw that disqualified him from being selected is that his mind is nothing like the famous actor, and he actually hates being compared to the man.

Helpful things done on mission:
Mr. Friend is the name he gave for himself. We have no other informatin. His prints, dna, dental records, none of it shows up anywhere. We have no idea where he came from, aside from very scattered and inconclusive events through Europe and Canada, spanning two decades prior to his appearance in Eastern Europe.
They are not mindless zombies, they act with the same intelligence they had before, but they are also not quite right. They seem...euphoric? Drowsy? Disconnected in one way or another. They can lie but rarely seem to, and will almost always profess that Mr. Friend is, well, their best friend. We believe they only lie if specifically ordered to. Of course our experience with subjects under his control is only in lab conditions and as anacdotes. It is possible he can control them more accurately and subtly than we know.
Visualizing as in imagining him? No. Rememberance, if accurate enough, can cause partial effects but generally only in the very short term. No, outside of extreme cases of self imposed placebo effect such a thing shouldn't happen.
No. Memory is lost. The subjects are effectively asleep. None of them have any memory of the events that occured.
It can be. Someone has to actually percieve him to be effected. If their perceptions are impaired, he cannot effect them. We have documented evidence that a blind man cannot be controlled by him even if his eyes are effectively taking in the signal. If their brains cannot percieve him, he can't effect them.
The Auditors will investigate the mission. If it is ruled a true accident or something beyond your capacity to control...nothing. If they find fault, they'll count it as destruction of company property and then try to assertain who is to blame before handing out punishments on a per individual basis.
No. You will not be paid and this will be counted as unsceduled sick time.
I can act as mission control if you desire; though not all members of the security team are fitted with electrical implants.
The longest recorded time is three days, but that particular individual had been enthralled for somewhere along the lines of 5 years. For anyone under his control now, an hour or so should be enough.
Because others are bolding questions, I will do so too. Name: Tara
