Captain

COMMAND STAFF
Captain	Access: Everywhere Difficulty: Impossible Supervisors: Central Command Duties: Oversee the current shift. Ensure the Command team is able to perform their jobs. Be the judge on station matters. Ultimately fail and watch everything burn around you. Guides: Space Law Quote: "Research Director! For the fifth time! Do NOT make catgirls!"

This job role is expected to perform at a standard higher than other roles. Do not play this role if you are not prepared.

At the start of the round, you should take the Nuclear Autherization Disk and either give it to the Blueshield, or keep it on your person. DO NOT ALLOW this disk to fall into hostile organization's hands; there are dire repercussions for this. Afterwards, you can ask on the radio for everyone of your departmental heads to report in. You are in for the long shift, skipper, hope you're ready for some difficulty.

Bare minimum expectation: Secure the disk, give Engineering the ability to do the station goal (if any), keep the spare ID safely around incase of your untimely vacancy. Do not micromanage departments; there are Heads of Staff for a reason.

Ode to the Captain

Welcome to your job assignment, Captain! At your disposal is an all-access ID, a prototype laser gun that recharges on it's own, a resilient space-worthy magnate MODsuit, and a bunch of staff members who it is your duty to be the final answer-to. Where the Head of Personnel is concerned with Human Resources, you are concerned with Administration.

At the start of the shift you should secure the Nuclear Authentication Disk in either your person or the Blueshield agent who will soon never leave your side (hopefully!).

Aside from your starting inventory, you also have access to the Communications Console, a plethora of station devices that display information and alerts, and a box of medals used to reward especially dutiful staff members.

Heads of Staff: How do they Work?

At your disposal is six heads of staff members. They all represent their departments, and direct their functions. A good leader is necessary to make sure the shift goes smoothly.

You also have two special outlying staffers: the NanoTrasen Consultant and the Blueshield agent.

Department	Purpose	Rank in COC	Head of Staff
Command	Lead the staff of Bubberstation 13.	1	Captain
Service	Provide food and drinks.	2	Head of Personnel
Science	Research upgrades and equipment.	3	Research Director
Medical	Provide medical care to crew.	4	Chief Medical Officer
Engineering	Provide power, and seal breaches.	5	Chief Engineer
Cargo	Supply each department and export items.	6	Quartermaster
Security	Enforce NanoTrasen policy and protect the crew.	8	Head of Security
Special Staff	Purpose	COC
Command	Be Central Command's eye on Bubberstation 13.	7	NanoTrasen Consultant
Command	Ensure the Captain's safety, and the rest of the Heads.	9	Blueshield

The Chain of Command

Whether it be your own fault, or the fault of more nefarious crew members, there may be a time where you are not able to command the station. The Chain of Command dictates who will take over in this event.

Captain -> Head of Personnel -> Research Director -> CMO -> Chief Engineer -> Quartermaster -> Nanotrasen Consultant -> Head of Security -> Blueshield

This chain of command must be obeyed: the Head of Security cannot take the Captainship before all other members have been considered. You may refuse the position of Captain if there are other heads, but if you are the only head on-shift, you may not.

Communications Console

Something has gone wrong and you need to relay information to Central Command, or you need to set the alert level so that Security may no longer consider privacy laws. Or, everything has gone to Hell and you need to get out of dodge.

Make sure to log out! Only Command IDs work!

Make Priority Announcement: makes a multi-z level announcement that will have the heading "Captain Announces:"

Enable Emergency Maintenance Access: removes access restrictions on maintenance-style airlocks.

Enable Engineering Override Access: makes certain areas Engineering access, and all air alarm areas Engineering access temporarily.

Set Status Display: set a message or graphic that will show on status displays around the station.

Message List: check all prior sent Central Command reports sent through Communications.

Purchase Shuttle: spend station budget to buy a shuttle, size may vary (and your ability to survive).

Send message to CentCom: sends a message straight to CentCom; use with caution and responsibility.

Request Nuclear Authentication Codes: requests CentCom to give you the string necessary to activate the on-station nuclear bomb. Only used in event of extreme bio-hazards.

Call 911: Marshals: calls a team of riot-equipped ERT members.

Call 811: Advanced Atmos: calls a team of engineering-equipped ERT members.

Call 911: Medical: calls a team of medical-equipped ERT members.

Alert Levels: changes the station alert levels (TBD: assign alert redirect). You cannot assign Red or Delta at this console, only certain situations or a ID swipe can do that.

Keycard Authentication Device

Incase of emergency: swipe. Therefore, keep swiping.

Red alert: sets the alert level to Red, which is on-par with declaring the station an active war-zone. This authorizes field executions. Do not use this alert level without considering the consequences.

Emergency Maintenance Access: removes access restrictions on maintenance-style airlocks.

Engineering Override Access: makes certain areas Engineering access, and all air alarm areas Engineering access temporarily.

Bluespace Artillery Unlock: allows the Bluespace Artillery Gun project weapon to be fired.

Grant Janitor Access: allows the Janitor to access all areas of the station.

Threats in your Local Star System

DO NOT USE THIS INFORMATION UNLESS IT IS ALLOWED BY METAPROTECTION RULES -- THIS IS FOR USE ONLY.

NanoTrasen occupied space is rarely without it's problems. Although the Security detail is wonderful--there are many organizations that you will need to keep an eye out for, unless you want your fully-functioning station turning into a pile of nuclear rubble.

Threat(s)	Threat Level	What to Expect	Response
Syndicate Agents	Mild	Agents will tend to go throughout, posing as normal crew. They may want to take items from high-security areas, in which case you will need to make sure these items are secured to prevent them from being misused.	Raising the alert level at most to Amber, and making sure that high value items are secured by Security.
Syndicate Nuke-ops	Station Destroying	Nuke-ops have one goal: to destroy your station, or die trying. When spotted, confirm that it is in-fact an assault team (a redsuit does NOT mean they are operatives).	Raise alert level to Red; ensure that crew are able to evacuate the station easily, and that Security is well-armed. Do not let the Nuclear Disk fall into enemy hands.
Syndicate Contractors	Intense	Contractors do not tend to cause extreme harm, however, they do tend to disrupt station operations and kidnap crew members (forcing a ransom).	Raise alert level to Amber, remind crew to stick in teams of two to resist kidnapping attempts.
Blob	Station Destroying	There will be an announcement for a "Level 5 Bio-hazard", and this will confirm the presence of a blob. The blob by now will have expanded to a decent size, and must be contained before it reaches critical mass.	Make sure ALL crew are dealing with this disaster. This cannot be understated; should the blob reach critical mass, the station will die. Raise alert level to Red. Request Nuclear Authorization if uncontrollable.
Spiders	Intense	Sentient spider infestations not created by Xenobiology are highly aggressive. They will continue to repopulate so long as a Broodmother is left alive.	Raise alert level to Red, ensure that Security is dealing with the situation.
Heretics	Intense	Strange magic users are on your station. They are sacrificing crew members, and using power that causes intense harm. Do not allow them to achieve their goals, or else they may grow too strong to contain.	Raise alert level to Amber at most, unless the situation is uncontrollable. The Chaplain is familiar with matters of spirits and magic and should be enlisted to aid if possible in their expertise.
Changelings	Intense	Shapeshifters that pose as crewmembers. A failed NanoTrasen experiment, who will stop at nothing to achieve their alien goals. There is very little information on them; and only those at the Central High Command level will be familiar.	Raise alert level to Amber at highest. These monsters should be contained if possible, so Central can research them.
