In Talos-1, it’s killed or be killed. Prowling the halls are the Operators. Standing guard almost mercilessly, turrets guard the hallowed halls of the building. And they will not hesitate to kill you if they detect you to be too typhonic. However, never fear! Operators and turrets are vulnerable to your control with the machine mind.
