Being a Pyromaniac allows you to start fires at will. Doing so costs 4
and has a 100% success chance.
The action is
Secret, so it will not be logged when you are alone. However, the fire will be announced immediately by NERON - which is a dead giveaway for arson unless it happens on cycle change, so timing is crucial.
If yours is the only fire, it can also be deduced from the logs (or the Fire Detector) that you were present in the room when it started, so you will need an excuse not to report or extinguish it immediately.
Besides starting fires, your main goal will be to prevent the crew from fighting them:
Without
Extinguishers (steal/dismantle/hide) or a blueprint thereof (which happens to be very flammable), the crew will have to put their hopes in a
Firefighter's chances of extinguishing them manually (especially low when he's dead), upgraded fire-fighting drones (
Green Jelly works wonders on those) or sheer luck with sprinklers.
