I am working on an adventure setting, and could use some brainstorming help if folks are interested.

Consider you have a human sized cybershell you need to go do a job at a remote site, so you won’t be able to give it direct/real time guidance.

What kinds of situations/jobs would it make more sense to send a Ghost to do versus a SAI?

Unknown (i.e., you are unsure of the conditions, and it may require creative solutions)
Social (i.e., lots of human interactions, carousing/fast-talk/diplomacy/streetwise)
Legal Gray Area (i.e., anything that might make the SAI’s honesty be an issue)
None (i.e., can send either, no appreciable benefit to a Ghost over a SAI)
