Reboot Systems
Restore the ship's power by manually resetting the critical system console.
Reboot System is a critical maintenance task found within the corridors of the Skeld and Mira HQ spaceships in the Among Us universe. It requires a Crewmate to physically interact with a console terminal to restore power or functionality to essential ship systems that have been disrupted by sabotage or malfunction. Unlike some tasks that involve collecting items or moving objects, this task is purely digital and mechanical, demanding focus from the player to ensure the vessel remains operational for all aboard.

Lore & Background
The design of these consoles reflects the utilitarian nature of the Among Us universe: blocky, functional, and devoid of luxury. Every time a Crewmate successfully reboots a system, they are fighting against the entropy that constantly threatens their journey. The task serves as a reminder that while the Impostor seeks to break the ship apart from within, the Crewmates must work tirelessly to stitch it back together, one reboot at a time.
In Their Own Story
The blue light of the Admin room flickered ominously, casting long shadows against the metallic walls. A low hum died out, replaced by an eerie silence that signaled a total system failure. The red-suited Crewmate sprinted toward the console, their helmet reflecting the emergency lights. With gloved hands trembling slightly from adrenaline, they pressed the sequence required to initiate the reboot. Sparks flew briefly as the capacitors surged, and slowly, the familiar green progress bar began to fill, bringing the ship back to life.
Reader's Guide
To complete the Reboot System task, locate the specific console designated for this operation on your current map. On the Skeld, this is typically found in the Admin room; on Mira HQ, check the Electrical area; and on Polus, head to Navigation. Once at the terminal, approach it closely until the interaction prompt appears. Press the action button to begin the sequence. You will see a progress bar or a visual indication of data loading. During this time, you must remain stationary near the console. Moving away too early may reset your progress depending on the game settings. Wait for the animation to finish completely. The screen should display a success message or return to normal operation status. This task is often used by Impostors as an alibi since it takes a few seconds, but completing it honestly contributes directly to the team's victory meter.
