| The program Turing is given to the player relatively late in the mission, after the first objective has been completed.

| At this point in the mission, many of the devices in the facility which you want to hack have already been hacked, but some have been recaptured by [[:daemons:Failsafe]]. Turing can be a useful way to hack any recaptured cameras, lower the remaining [[:armor]] of [[:guards:OMNI Protector|OMNI Protectors]], and break some firewalls on the Mainframe Lock all at once. If you need to do several of those, then Turing can be a more efficient use of PWR than your other programs; if not, then you may not need to use it at all. | By this time, many of the devices in the facility which you want to hack have already been hacked, but some have been recaptured by [[:daemons:Failsafe]].

| Turing breaks firewalls on //all// devices, including those with [[:daemons:]] installed. If there are devices on 1 or 2 firewalls with severe daemons such as [[:daemons:Validate]], [[:daemons:Labyrinth]] or [[:daemons:Modulate]], then it is usually best not to use Turing. On the other hand, if there are no particularly harmful daemons installed on any such devices, hacking weak or ineffectual daemons can be a beneficial side-effect of Turing due to the PWR bonus from [[:agents:Central]]'s [[:augments:Antiviral Proxy]] augment. | Turing breaks firewalls on //all// devices, including those with [[:daemons:]] installed.
