====== OMNI Protector ======
[{{ :guards:portrait:omni_protector.png?168|OMNI Protector portrait}}]

**OMNI Protectors** are [[:guards:#armed guards]] who appear in [[:corporations:OMNI]] facilities, and can appear in other facilities at [[:mission difficulty]] 6 and higher (or 5 and higher in [[:modes:Expert Plus]] mode). OMNI Protectors are human guards, but they are also [[:mainframe devices:]] with [[:firewalls]] which determine their [[:armor]] and [[:AP]].

===== Mainframe Attunement =====

The **Mainframe Attunement** ability gives OMNI Protectors a number of [[:AP]] equal to their [[:firewalls]] plus 6. Their firewalls can be hacked to reduce their AP; their AP is 6 when they are fully hacked, or while they are [[:rebooting]].

If an OMNI Protector is initially [[:guard_behaviour#patrolling]], then the length of his patrol route is equal to his AP at the start of the mission, except in [[:modes:Beginner]] mode or otherwise when playing with "safe patrols" as a [[:modes:Custom]] difficulty setting. Likewise, if an OMNI Protector's patrol route changes due to the [[:missions:Executive Terminals#security response]] in an [[:missions:Executive Terminals]] mission or at [[:alarm level]] 1 in the [[:alarm tracker#advanced alarm stages]], then the length of his new patrol route will equal his [[:AP]] at the time the new route is assigned.

When an OMNI Protector wakes up after being [[:KO|knocked out]], or when he finishes [[:rebooting]], his firewalls are reset to their base level, which may be higher than their original level at the start of the mission due to the effects of [[:alarm level]] changes and [[:daemons:]].
