The P-Tech Vendor found in Cargo

A PDA is a pocket computer with various features that range from identifying yourself on the crew manifest to communicating with other crew members. All crewmembers begin with a PDA, loaded with special tools and programs depending on what your starting assignment is. PDAs can be bought from the PTech vending machine. Certain jobs may find their PDA more useful than others. Traitors can even acquire their gear with their PDA.


placing your Id regular.png ID in your PDA and clicking the "Update PDA Info" button will update your PDA with your current job and sync that PDA to you. If you want to change the look of your PDA, you will have to go to the Head of Personnel.

Basic Functions

Feature Function
Notekeeper
Pen.png
Allows you to make text notes and save them.
Messenger
Paper.png
Scan for other PDAs and send them text messages, set custom ringtones, or look at your past messages. If your PDA is in your belt or pocket, you can see what incoming messages are in the chat window and directly reply without having to pull out the PDA. By default the PDA is set to Messaging On; turning it Off will not allow others to send you texts but will also prevent you from being the victim of a Detomatrix missile. Traitors can input codes into the ringtone to access their uplink.
Crew Manifest

Cartridges

PDA's uses don't stop at their features. Crew members can extent the usage of PDAs by inserting various cartridges. Each of these cartridges serve a specific purpose and tend to actually be very helpful. Most crew members will start with a cartridge already in their PDA based on what role they have. Most cartridges can be acquired at the P-Tech vendor in Cargo
