🚨 TRIGGERS AND BUTTONS (FOR THE BOT)

Context buttons appear in verification mode when inconsistencies are detected.

1. Fingerprints
   • Trigger: Difference in first/last name, gender, significant discrepancy between photo and face or height/weight data.
   • Logic: A fingerprint form is issued. The bot compares it with the database (Identity Record). If the fingerprints match and the name is confirmed as a legal alias, entry is granted. Otherwise, entry is denied or arrested.
2. Search / Scanner
   • Trigger: Discrepancy between the weight on the scales in the booth and the data in the documents or mandatory inspection of nations according to the plot.
   • Logic: A picture of the body is taken.
   • Contraband/weapons found: The "ARREST" button is activated.
   • No hidden objects: No error (the person just changed the weight), you can skip it.
3. ARREST (Detain)
   Red button. Available only after official proof of guilt via a scanner or verification.
   • Conditions for activation:
4. Weapons/contraband detected on scanner.
5. The face matched the morning description of the criminals (Wanted).
6. The fingerprints did not match the database completely (alien identity).
7. Attempting to bribe the inspector.
   • Economy: For the arrest of an innocent person - a fine. For a real offender, the guard pays a bonus (5 credits for every 2 arrests).
   • Important: You cannot be arrested for an expired passport or lack of certificates - only a “DENIED” stamp.

🛠 GAME RULES AND BOT MECHANICS (PAPERS, PLEASE)

1. The essence and process of verification:
   The player assumes the role of a checkpoint inspector at the Arstotzkan Ministry of Entry. Their goal is to verify the documents of incoming citizens against a daily updated Code of Regulations.
   • Inspection mode: The player activates the data comparison mode. It is necessary to check: dates (expiration date), names, passport numbers in different documents, gender, photos, ministry stamps and the city of issue with the official card.
   • Interrogations and Scans: If the data does not match, an interrogation is activated. The player can request fingerprints, search the scanner for contraband/weapons, or check the weight.
2. Penalties for mistakes:
   The system automatically tracks illegal passes or unlawful refusals.
   • 1st and 2nd miss of the day: The Inspector receives a warning (MOA Citation), penalty is 0.
   • 3rd error and onward: Starting from the third error, 5 credits are debited from the inspector's account for each error. Money is critical for paying for housing, food, and heating for the family.
3. Inspector's tools:
   The workstation improves as the story progresses and through paid desktop upgrades:
   • Stamps: Double-sided device. Green stamp (APPROVED) - allow entry, Red stamp (DENIED) - refuse. Later, a stamp is added indicating the reason for refusal and confiscation of the passport.
   • Rulebook and Bulletin: Book containing list of rules, region codes, original seals and a summary of guidelines.
   • Scales and height chart: Built into the booth to detect hidden contraband or data inconsistencies.
   • Gun safe (Defense against terrorist attacks):
   • Day 16: You are given a key to a safe with a tranquilizer (3 non-lethal darts) to neutralize terrorists. You get a bonus for catching them.
   • Day 23: EZIC Agent hands over the key to the sniper rifle (2 lethal rounds).
   (Warning: Shooting at civilians or security will result in immediate arrest and loss.)
