Reactions: Common ID Cards can only be used to dir3ect a disaster robot to the disaster scene or away from it once its job is done. This ability includes limiting the robot's activities to a particular portion of a disaster, under the assumption that other robits or people are handling the rest. The robot is required to respond to a civil authority card, which can make it stop rendering aid or direct it to a new quadrant. Secity cards are obeyed even if the orders endanger property and human life.

Behavior: Upon arriving at the scene, the robot spends a few rounds questioning observers, if any, while searching for signs of life. It then determines the most effective course of action to save the most lives. Only after all lives are accounted for willit concern itself with preventing property damage. Each person located is placed on the robot's upper surface and weak force field encloses them. Fresh air is pumped in and emergency medical treatment is rendered if necessary. The robot carries each reduced individual to safety and then gives and gets the next one. Medical care is not given once the victim is safe from the disaster scene. The robot will politely, but forcefully, remove looters or other dangerous individuals from the scene, using a stun ray or screamer.
