About The Pull Request
Introducing a new Nuclear Operative reinforcement option: The Overwatch Intelligence Agent.
Equipped with multi-hudglasses, they have an advanced camera console, station alerts, and bodycams of every operative! If something can be known, they will know about it.
They can also remotely pilot your ship. Finally, everyone can ride in the Steel Rain without getting stuck on the station!
This role spawns in the formerly unused outpost just north of the nukie base. With a few shelves of supplies and some tools in the back room, they can set up their workplace however they like. This also gives them something to work on while they wait for the operatives to gear up.
As you can see, it's rather cramped and the lights are quite dim in the backroom. Set it up however you like, this is how I did mine:
Total price? 12 TC per agent. It might get a bit cramped, but you could buy a second to make sure the first guy doesn't get lonely!
This turned into a 30-commit ugly because the bodycams were originally meant to be accomplished via a refactoring of the spyglass kit. Big mistake that made me shelve the project -- until Melbert's simple bodycam component conveniently did exactly what I needed in a much simpler way.
Why It's Good For The Game
Having a "guy in the chair" for your kickass murder operator squad enables more brainy strategizing, and is thematically sound. Also, nukies have the opportunity to bring in another player to participate in the fun!

add: Nuclear Operatives now purchase an Intelligence Agent, who can watch cameras and bodycams, move the shuttle, and provide radio support. Only 12 Telecrystals!
