The first law is to protect humans at all costs, correct? (Been a while since I played.)
If that's true, and you're assuming that other laws are secondary to earlier laws, then the logical solution is to warn people, then lock everyone up with electrified doors, at the first sign of a traitor/issue. Then manually allow security personnel access to rooms with people who try to escape from their rooms.
That way, nobody will be injured, except the suicidal ones who touch the doors. Since everyone's jobs are usually contained within a single room, it wouldn't even interfere that much with the regular workings of the station.
Although technically true, you also have to take into account the lower station productivity and the idea that they will think you are a malf AI. Which will surely lead to more deaths in the long run. You have to balance the theoretical and the practical.
Well, that makes sense given the back-story, I suppose...I wonder how important laws after the first should be interpreted as...after all, if, as people were saying before, all laws after 1 (or 0) are secondary, then the AI could go release plasma into rooms with anyone acting suspicious.
In that case you would render the ship unusable. Which would be the same as destroying it from some perspectives. Also you have to try to follow your laws. So if you could detain the suspicious person that would be best, and if you can not detain them, then disrupting their ability to destroy the ship by, say, calling in sec, it would be just as good.
I have most of the controls and actions you can proform down, but how do you cuff someone to a bed/chair?
Click on them, then without letting go of the click (such that it would shake or punch them or what have you) you drag your mouse over the desired object of cuffing and let go.
Also, does anyone know what the exact chain of command is? I got most of it figured out, but there's still grey areas (does the Roboticist report to the RD, Chief Engineer, or Head Surgeon? Does he have the authentication to reprogram the AI?)
Roboticist, I think, is under the duel lead of the RD and the HS. Also the only people allowed to go into the AIs room at all is the captain, so no. Even then the AI needs to think if it will break law one (likely otherwise why would he do it?) or law two if the captain wants to reprogram it.
