I can clear up most of the confusion by highlighting that this prompt is specifically for being a positronic brain. Not cyborgs, not AI, not even MMI brains which retain their original personality.
Cyborg and AI laws are equivalent to brainwashing, which is why they trigger a second prompt that tells you to obey your laws above all else.
Putting a positronic brain into anything else (mech, circuit or otherwise) does not trigger this brainwashing or second prompt - you retain your free will but within the confines of the original prompt.
The confusion is born from the fact 99% of posibrain go straight into cyborgs, and every single other science-related ghost role is loyal to creator instead of station as a whole. The confusion is more than justified imo, but the prompt is still clear to me if actually read and I think a note without punishment is appropriate for pointing that out so the situation doesn’t repeat.
