**Modded MkI** guards are [[:guards:#armed guards]] who occur in [[:corporations:Plastech]] facilities, at [[:mission difficulty#mission difficulty 2]] and higher. While active, they [[:rebooting#recapturing|recapture]] nearby hacked [[:mainframe devices:]]; when [[:KO|knocked out]], they inhabit the mainframe by installing a [[:daemon]] on an unhacked device.

===== Modded MkII =====
[{{ :guards:portrait:modded_mkii.png?168|Modded MkII portrait}}]

**Modded MkII** guards are an upgraded type of Modded guard. They are the same as Modded MkI guards, except they have [[:armor]], and they [[:rebooting#recapturing|recapture]] devices in a radius of 8 tiles instead of 6.

Modded MkII guards are found in the [[:Contingency Plan]] DLC.

===== Hacker =====

While a Modded guard is active, at the start of each enemy turn he [[:rebooting#recapturing|recaptures]] a random hacked [[:mainframe device]] within a radius of 6 or 8 tiles, measured by [[wp>Euclidean distance]] from the Modded guard's location. When a device is recaptured, it [[:rebooting|reboots]] for 1 turn, and becomes active at the start of the next enemy turn, with 1 [[:firewall]].

Some devices --- [[:mainframe devices:Augment Grafters]], [[:mainframe devices:Augment Drills]], all [[:drones]], and [[:guards:OMNI Protectors]] --- are specifically exempt from being recaptured. If multiple devices are valid targets within range at the start of an enemy turn, a random one is recaptured; if there are no valid targets within range, then the Hacker ability has no effect on that turn.

===== Cyber Consciousness =====

When a Modded guard is [[:KO|knocked out]], he inhabits the mainframe by installing a random [[:daemon]] on a random [[:mainframe device]]. When that device is hacked, the daemon's effect is triggered, and then the Cyber Consciousness ability installs another random daemon on a different device. When the Modded guard wakes up, his Cyber Consciousness daemon is removed from the device. If the same Modded guard is knocked out again, he will install a daemon on the same device, if possible.

The Cyber Consciousness ability cannot install a daemon on a device which is currently controlled by the agency, or a device which already has a daemon installed; however, it can target a device which is [[:rebooting]], an [[:mainframe devices:Security Camera#inactive cameras|inactive Security Camera]], or a [[:mainframe devices:Corporate Safe]] or other device that has been looted without being hacked. If there are no valid targets when a Modded guard is knocked out, then his Cyber Consciousness ability has no effect, even if a device becomes a valid target while he remains knocked out.

If the program [[:programs:Hunter]] is used to remove a Cyber Consciousness daemon, then it also deals [[:lethal damage]] to the Modded guard.
