I'm sure that a lot of people would prefer if there were some actual replacement for some of the functionality of the control laptop before you remove it. |

This has been problematic for months, if not years, and nobody has added anything in that intervening time, so I don't think that should be a blocker for this change. If this change inspires someone to go fix it, great, but seeing as nobody has stepped up to the plate it's pointless to wait for it. Furthermore, this entire current function is problematic. There's no magical software that makes it so that with enough skill, and a little bit of time, you can bypass the security of every single robot. |

You willing to save me a PR and move it to aftershock? I do kinda want it in there. |

The thing that makes me most sad about this is that it removes the only reliable way of rescuing Prototype Cyborgs. |

It doesn't, use scramblers. |
