You have changed your mind
You have instead decided to send your robot to [Player] tonight
You ordered your robot to Accompany your target
You ordered your robot to Barricade your target

Your Robot has broken down. You will need a day to repair it.
You saw a robot sitting outside [Player]'s house last night (Visiting an engineer's target)
Someone tried controlling you last night but you were immune! (Target notification when Coven Leader tries controlling an accompanied target)
Someone tried roleblocking you last night but you were immune! (Target notification when a roleblocking role tries roleblocking an accompanied target)
Someone protected you last night! (Or whatever the standard Protection notification is) (defended target is attacked and successfully defended)
Your target's defense was too high to kill! (Attacking a defended player)

Mechanics:
•Accompanying a player prevents them from being Roleblocked or Controlled (If Coven leader has the necronomicon they will still be drained). If your target dies at night while being accompanied your robot will break down.
•Barricading a target will roleblock them. If your target is roleblock immune your robot will break down.
•Defending a target will grant them a powerful defense. If your target is attacked at night (Plaugebarer and arsonist don't count) your robot will break down.
•If your robot breaks down, you will need to spend a night reparing it before you can send it out again. If you are roleblocked during this time you will have to wait to repair it. Unlike trapper the engineer doesn't have a N1 ability block.

Additional Information:
•If a Coven leader controls the engineer, they will be able to choose where the robot is sent. However, the command will always be set to barricade.

How "Homecoming" and "Say hello to my little friend!" Could happen

Player A isEngineer, Player B is Serial Killer, Player C is Transporter

A and B target C. C transports themselves with A. A commands their robot to defend C

A and B are now Targeting A. B attacks A, but because A has defense thanks to their robot they are successfully defended, and their robot breaks down earning them both achievements.


Lore:

When the engineer first started out, he was just a lowly inventor who couldn't find easy to access parts or funders for his creations. No one believed they would work, no one believed he was capable of putting such fantastical items together. However, the godfather believed. "If you make things for my family, I will help move things along for your work." That was the deal. The godfather saw potential in the young man's work, and in exchange for more "Beneficial" creations for the mafia, he would receive funding for his inventions. He would receive the most premium parts for his creations, he wouldn't look like a fool anymore. And for a time, this was alright with him. Sure it was morally wrong, but anything was worth the price for his work. That was, until an invention failed the Mafia. The price of failure was a friend of the engineer's, someone close to him. That price, that was just too high for his morals. The engineer fled from the mafia, taking one of his latest inventions with him, and went into hiding. The mafia is back now, but thats alright with him. The town can rest easy, knowning they have a metal machine watching their backs at night....
