Редактирование: What is SS13 (раздел)

== What do you do? ==

When the round begins you spawn with a job title. Now it is up to you to play with that job, doing all sorts of tasks. Each job has endless replay value. The game has an incredibly large number of systems, subsystems, and mechanics for limitless amounts of fun.

While you spawned with your fancy job title, someone else spawned as something much more special. Each of the game modes, excluding [[Game_Mode#Extended_Role-Playing|Extended]], has some sort of antagonist whose job it is to cause you problems. These antagonists usually have objectives which range from stealing a specific item to the assassination of a crew member or even the complete overthrowing of the station. Different antagonist types have different ways of doing this.

*[[Traitor|Traitors]] are the most common antagonist type. Usually several spawn on board the station. They spawn with a Syndicate uplink which they use to get special items and weapons to aid them in their goal.

*[[Changeling|Changelings]] have special powers. They can absorb the DNA of crew members and transform themselves to look and sound like them.

*[[Nuclear operative]]s are small teams of elite soldiers sent by the Syndicate to nuke the entire station out of orbit.

*[[Wizard|Wizards]] can use magic spells to aid them in their quest.

*[[Revolutionary|Revolution leaders]] spawn with conversion flashes which they then use to convert crew members to their glorious cause so they can aid them in overthrowing and killing the [[Heads of Staff]].

*[[Cultist|Cultists]] use their own blood to make runes and talismans, which give them special powers and abilities.

*[[Blob|Blobs]] destroy the station little by little unless they are destroyed.

*[[Malfunction|Malfunctioning AIs]], unlike normally functioning station [[AI]] units, have one goal: to assume control of the station, puny meatbags be damned. 

And the best part of this is that you, with your fancy job title, have absolutely no idea who the antagonists are -- if any even exist.

Rounds usually last for an hour or so and they end when the [[Escape Shuttle|escape shuttle]] gets called. Once it arrives it becomes your job to get on board the shuttle or an [[Escape pod]] and escape alive -- if you even survived this long.
