Proposal: Floyd

Create a new rule, entitled 'Service Robot', with the following text:

There is a service robot on board the Caine. It is tracked in the GNDT as 'service robot' but it is not a crewmember. It is not a part of any group, and does not have a health or logic rating. It has 5 Daily Points.
If the robot has not been moved during the current day, any crewmember in the same location as the robot make take control of it, by posting a comment to the GNDT to that effect. Taking control of the robot costs the crewmember one Action Point and causes the robots Action Points to be reset to its Daily Points. Once the robot is under eir control, the controlling crewmember may move the robot or use it to control machinery. The controlling crewmember continues to control the robot even after the robot leaves the crewmembers location. The robot moves and operates machinery in the same way as a crewmember: it spends one AP per location traversed and one AP to change its Action field.

Gives some flexibility to do things remotely. We could also consider allowing Howard to control the robot.
