MMORPG Players doing Maintenance for New Rapture

WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT WRENCH WAS REALLY FOR ??? ... IT Wasn't a 'Fashion Statement' ...

Thinking Of All Those Small Leaks We Saw :
At least in BS2/Minervas Den, we could have had some Player activity plugging those leaks with our rivet gun - Which might be more like a 'sealant injector' mechanism ( as you don't install most real 'rivets' from only one side ... )   
You identify the problem and applying a 'rivet' to seal the leak - to allow the Player to safely operate something-or-other to get thru an obstacle in the game.

Keeping Rapture Going :
Rapture is a little more complicated than your everyday city, where half of our cities can be falling apart, surviving with little maintenance ( par for the usual Ghetto/bad part of town/third world ).
In Rapture, it is somewhat more catastrophic when things start to go wrong or stop working. So they couldn't be allowed to deteriorate that far.
It likely was the Maintenance Cyborgs/'Diver Dans', who kept operating during the period of Chaos ( and the people who maintained/managed THEM ). Fortunately for Rapture, underneath the fancy 'artistic' overlay was a city built by engineers ( and DAMN SURE NOT any game designers/artists ).
What kind of conditioning motivation do you have to put into the these Cyborg's head to get them to do the Maintenance ?
