<big><big>'''Important: Just because you are in perma DOES NOT mean you are an antagonist. You are still bound by rule 1. Escaping without reason or a viable threat is reason enough to get talked to by the admins. Make an OPFOR for breakouts!'''</big></big>

For some god forsaken reason, in a Space Station literally filled to the brim with opportunities, you've chosen to be the single job which has a severely constrained pool of options. Well, good for you! In fact, the Prisoner is one of the few roles which can actually work as intended for both new players and veterans, whilst still providing options for conflict.

'''Basic skills:''' Roleplay a bit, make up a backstory, converse with your fellow prisoner. 
'''Advanced skills:''' Spark up a bit of action and conflict while you're at it! Keep Security on their toes.

==Welcome to the Permabrig==
[[File:Prisontop.PNG]]

This will be your home for most of the shift until you get parole or are dragged off by security at shift end <s>or escape (as long as you get the green-light from ahelp)</s>. You spawn in here at round start, but ''will have to walk to security to be imprisoned if you join mid-shift''. Depending on the station, there is usually a garden, a basketball hoop, a small laundromat, some sanitary facilities, plenty of dorm rooms, and a fully functioning cafeteria with arcade. There is some food, along with a Microwave in the kitchen, but don't expect Nanotrasen to provide much for you. After all, you ARE a criminal. If you are looking to cause some chaos, get creative with your surroundings to get some valuable crafting materials.

Ideally, since you are the single job without any duties or obligations, you should be making a backstory for yourself to keep yourself sane. If you're one of the poor saps who spawn in without a cellmate, well, no luck in having much fun.

===The Case for New Players===
Regardless of anything, however, a very strong case can be made for the Prisoner being the single most friendly job for a new player, even above [[Assistant]].

# The role isn't timelocked, so you can just jump right in. Keep in mind that if you join mid-round, you will have to walk from the shuttle into security. Don't expect security or staff to take kindly to you wandering around as a registered prisoner.
# Like an Assistant, you have zero responsibilities whatsoever. But that doesn't mean you can't make some up for yourself to butter up the warden. Make some license plates and show them what a good boy you are.
# There's a good chance that your companion prisoners are experienced, and with nothing to do, they're usually open to showing you the ropes.
# By being in the Permabrig, you're actually protected from the outside station by the rest of the security department. Whilst wandering around as an Assistant, there's a chance that you're going to get shot or stabbed by a friendly roaming [[Traitor]] or converted into a [[Blood Cult|Cultist]] or [[Revolutionary]], which can be disorientating. In the permabrig, you have all the time in the world to learn the controls and the sort.
# Security usually leave you reasonably alone, since the station is probably already degenerating into chaos a couple minutes in. If they're super bored, they might poke you every so often, but you are OOC protected from getting your shit kicked in without reason. If you don't spark shit, Security has their hands tied in terms of tormenting you.
# As an Assistant, in the mayhem and chaos, you often forget that SS13 is actually a roleplaying game. By being chained in a room, roleplay actually ends up being one of the first things that you learn, which is great!

== Spawning in ==
Spawning in as a prisoner is an unusual process. If you join at round-start, you will be where you are supposed to be and have everything you need to have to not get on the Warden's bad side. But if you join in after round-start, you will be on the shuttle as though you are a regular, law-abiding employee of NT. Security and everyone else will be notified of your arrival, so you usually have a small period of time to futz around and get to know the surroundings before you have to rush yourself to security. Don't expect an officer to greet you off the shuttle, but don't screw around on your way to prison.

Make sure to ask your heroic LEOs for a PDA and a headset (or even a station-bound radio). You do not spawn with either of these, and having these will keep you up-to-date on the latest cosmic horror casually snuffing out employees that are only two days away from retirement.

Finally, it isn't like the Prisoner role is devoid of action. You can, along with your fellow prisoners, engineer a jailbreak for example, only if given proper reasoning to. Breaking out because you've been alone for ten minutes isn't allowed, but an officer stealing all of your fun toys for themselves... Or, perhaps a [[Random events#Prison Break|virus]] happens to bolt open the permabrig for you. Or you can negotiate with a passing [[engineer]] through the medium of paper and pen to disassemble your cell windows. Or well, if Security has fallen to the cult or revolutionaries, you might be freed and converted. If this has happened, the station's probably fucked either way, so there's no fear of you being a liability.

If you decide that you do not want to be a prisoner anymore, bring up the possibility of Parole to the nearest officer that can hear you. Make sure that your backstory justifies parole even being a possibility for you. Parole is more likely if you make yourself a low-risk prisoner in for graffiti than a high-risk prisoner charged with genocide.
==Things to Do==
* Play cards.
* Mock the AI through the security cameras with a piece of paper.
* Watch as the AI hopelessly screeches at you through the Holopad.
* Grow plants.
* Dye your clothes so that you look like a hippie.
* Draw shitty drawings.
* Get to know your friends.
* Roleplay life in prison.
* Get parole and emulate your life as you try and adapt to living free.
* Get creative with the environment as you try and get materials for crafting your escape weapon.

{{Cargo Dept header}}
As a Quartermaster, your primary job is to <s>flood the station with paperwork and more paperwork</s> order equipment to help keep the station running. Make sure credits aren't wasted, kick the [[clown]] out, and make sure your Cargo Techs aren't getting into trouble - and pull their arses out of the fire when they do. You have three helpers to <s>run off with anything not bolted to the ground and ignore you</s> help you redistribute things throughout the station. You also have authority over mining, and should try and coordinate the [[Shaft Miner]]s to meet the needs of the station -- primarily, this means passing on requests from [[Robotics]], [[Research Director|Research]], and [[Station Engineer|Engineering]].

You have sunglasses, a unique jumpsuit, mining access, and your own office. Also, you get command comms, access to the bridge, and all the accoutrements that any head of staff has.

== Supply Shuttle Console ==
''"Who the hell blew all our credits on Wizard Costumes?"''

The [[Cargo Bay]] and [[Cargo Office|your office]] is filled with paper, paper and more paper. Most importantly, there is a console to order items. Everything that people will expect you to order that cannot be procured from the autolathe will show up on the Supply Shuttle once it arrives at CentCom.

Each order will produce a requisition form, which is usually best just shoved in the adjacent filing cabinet and forgotten until Security kicks down your door demanding to know who flooded the station with shotguns and clown outfits. Try and make sure that you know who ordered what. Your console and the one in the Cargo Office are ID-locked, requiring Cargo Bay access to function, meaning that only your subordinates ([[Cargo Technician|Cargo Technicians]]) and Superiors ([[Captain]]) can order stuff unless they somehow got access.

== Cargo Budget ==
You have a cargo budget card in your bag. You can insert cash directly into the card and the money will go to the cargo budget, but you cannot take cash out of it or use it to buy privately. Every order on your console requires you to spend credits. The pool of credits is also used for other station purchases, such as custom [[shuttle]]s, and to fund large station projects. As the QM, it is your job to make sure the station has enough credits to do so. To withdraw physical cash you must use the a machine in the vault.
 
Check out the [[Supply_crates#Making_Money|Supply Crates]] page for details about how to make money.

=== Direct Deposit, Direct Theft ===

The [[Vault]] contains a machine that accepts physical space cash and coins and adds it to the cargo budget's total credits. This machine can also be robbed by [[Traitor|unsavory]] [[Assistant|individuals]], causing you to lose credits, but there will be a loud warning ("Unauthorized credit withdrawal") if this happens. The [[Quartermaster]] can enter the vault by using the supply door remote, found in the QM's locker.

== Crates ==
''"Robotics is bugging me for a Ripley Crate - Everyone point and laugh."''

Crates are the lifeblood of your department. Ideally, you'll be ordering quite a few of them. These can be delivered via MULEbot, via the mail office, via people picking them up, or [[Beyond the impossible|your loyal workforce delivering them themselves]].

There are very few jobs who will require a crate early into the round, so until something special happens or their progress gates are met, you'll have the pool of cash to play with all to yourself. This includes the Autolathe. While you start with no materials, Auxiliary Tool Storage is just a ten-second walk away and will keep the lathe running for quite some time if you get all the metal and glass.

=== What's in Those Crates? ===
See the list of [[Supply crates]].

=== Crates For You ===
You start with quite a few credits, so here are some good first choices for the prepared Quartermaster:
* Insulated Gloves
* Engineering Equipment
* Metal/Glass
* Brute Medkits
* Standard Medkits

=== Crates For Everyone Else ===

Eventually, you'll get a feel for what different people want. The Roboticist will almost always want either metal and glass, while the Virologist will perhaps want a Virus crate. The Bartender might want to borrow a circular saw for his shotgun, and the Botanist might want seeds.

One of the marks of a good Quartermaster is the ability to anticipate someone's order and have it ready for them. This often means keeping a stock of insulated gloves and welding masks (if you're the type to hand those out to [[Assistant|certain people]]) and checking out who walks in. If you just hand out everything to everyone, you are a security risk. Use your own judgement - an Assistant should not have an RCD, but an Engineer [[Contraband|definitely should]]. Likewise, the clown should not have a combat shotgun, but Security can have one if they want it.

== Other Stuff ==

==Tips==
* If you're riding a MULEbot, you can't get facehugged.
* You can flip caps backward by right clicking them in hand or on your head. Don your trusty cap and tell the Captain to eat your shorts as you ride about on a MULEbot.
* Lethal projectiles can open crates, albeit slowly. Make use of a .357, the Bartender's shotgun, or any other projectile weapon to bust open Secure Crates.
* Packaging paper allows you to wrap things up and put them in your backpack when they wouldn't otherwise fit, like space suits!

=== Requisition Me a Beat(ing) ===
''"Fun is Contraband. And we're all about contraband."''

Many members of the station know that the QM can make things they aren't supposed to, and most security officers will overlook a little recreational [[hacking]]. Hack the Autolathe to make nifty toys like [[Rapid Construction Device|RCDs]] and [[Flamethrower|Flamethrowers]]. You don't even need a multitool for this. Just snip and fix till you find the one that turns off the blue light - Remember your [[Insulated_gloves#Gloves|rubber gloves]], because the green light makes it shock you. As long as you don't try to wall off Cargonia with an RCD, most people will forgive you for being prepared.

It's common for the Quartermaster to, at the very least, [[Hacking#MULEbot|enable the MULEbots']] nonstandard cargo and speed the motor up, though you can also upgrade the power cell if you have spares. The MULE is one of your best tools as a Quartermaster, and can make your life (and subsequently the lives of the rest of the crew) so much better.

See [[Mulebot|here how to use a MULEbot]].

=== More Mundane [[Contraband|Contraband]] ===
Contraband posters contain inappropriate themes that Nanotrasen has deemed too vulgar and have subsequently banned them from their space stations.

How to obtain:
# Get the circuitboard of your supply computer
# Multitool it and set its receiver to the appropriate spectrum
# Put it back in. You can now order contraband
# Note that contraband is illegal. [[Shitcurity|Security]] can do whatever they wish to it, and therefore you for bringing it on board

There's also a [[Engineering#Engineering_Secure_Storage|certain way]] to open crates you shouldn't, if you can [[emag|get]] [[Head of Personnel|your]] [[Chief Engineer|hands]] [[Engineer|on]] [[Assistant|it]]. Security will often panic about a Quartermaster that is better equipped than they are, so keep your ill-gotten gains hidden and secure until they are needed.

== Being a good quest giver ==

As a Quartermaster, your meta-job is to provide others around you with something to do. You are a department head. You should delegate as many tasks as you can instead of doing everything yourself. If done properly, it actually makes your life easier, and others' lives more interesting. While people are completing your quests, you should oversee the process and possibly rewards them for being good at it.

Here are some tasks worth delegating:

* Unloading the cargo shuttle when it arrives. Look at what has been delivered so that nothing gets stolen, and watch your Cargo Technicians unload everything. Rip shipping manifests and stamp them -- for the sake of security, it's better to do the paperwork yourself.
* One of your primary tasks is earning money through bounties.
** The first step of delegating your needs is, of course, asking the roboticist to build that Ripley mech instead of doing it yourself.
* If a miner gets downed, send somebody to fetch a miners' body. A miner is considered down if they don't respond to radio for more than a few minutes after entering lavaland. It's a good idea to always tell your miners to take a GPS and rename it to their in-game name.
* If something bad happens and the Detective wants to know who ordered guns, well, make sure that you always keep the requisition forms. Or, if you know too much about where it leads to, make sure nobody finds the forms and shipping manifests...

Stay active in the Supplies radio channel. Make sure you always know what your people are doing.

If you follow these tips, other players will like you and remember that shift when they were working with you.

Chains of Command Revision not in use yet

2022-09-20T17:15:38Z

Tobjv: removing old broken image

{{Needsrevision|reason = This page is in revision and not currently in use of the chain of command on Skyrat |priority = Medium}}
{{Important
|Title=Rough Draft
|Image=Paper.png
|Note=This document may not be entirely accurate with our current policies. Please be mindful that this may change.
|Color=#F00
}}

The chain of command represents how orders are distributed throughout the station. It is part of a power structure: usually seen as the most vulnerable and also the most powerful part of it. Starting from the most authorized, the Captain, through the Head of some Department, down to the lowliest subordinate to finally accomplish the task needed, in order to make the station function as efficiently as possible.

The Heads should '''not''' start doing the simplest tasks themselves unless the station's already beyond saving.

'''[[File:Identification_console.png]] Notice:'''

'''Heads can demote their staff by using the [[Identification Console]] and removing the subordinate's access to their department from their ID.'''

'''So if one of your guys isn't acting like an appropriate team player, don't hesitate to show them who's boss.'''

==Heads of Staff==
[[File:Bridge small.png|thumb|300px|The Bridge, safe haven of the Heads.]]
'''A.K.A. the command staff.''' These are the men and women charged with the administration of the station. Each of them have access to the [[Bridge]] and [[Brig]], the keycard authentication devices, the command radio channel (accessed with :c), the ability to make station-wide announcements, access to identification consoles and may call/recall the [[Escape Shuttle]] using a communications console. They are also the targets during a [[Revolution]].

'''Current order of Hierarchy is Captain> Acting Captain > Head of Personnel > Chief Engineer OR Research Director OR Chief Medical Officer OR Quarter Master OR Head of Security with HOS being the last in line. Command can vote to choose who is Acting Captain.''' Yes that means those 5 are of equal rank, they only out match each other in their Assigned fields and in their staffed sections. (CE = Engineering, CMO = medical, ETC) Read the briefings under each head if they get special rights to successions as Acting Captain. If the HOP gives up acting to another staff OR join late, they do not become Acting Captain and must follow the orders of the current Acting Captain.
[[File:Coc2.png|thumb|COC Flow Chart]]

===[[File:Generic captain.png|64px]] [[Captain]]===
The Commanding Officer with authority over the entire station. Eventually dies and has the Head of Personnel take over. Limited only by style - Just don't forget the [[High-risk_items#Nuclear_authentication_disk|disk]].
Has to agree and over see executions with the HOS.

'''Required knowledge:''' How the AI works. What other Heads should be doing. (this doesn't mean you need to know every job, just that you need to know that the heads have a job to do.)

'''Round-start to-do list:''' Check in with your Heads of Staff. Secure the nuclear authorization disk and give the pinpointer to someone trustworthy for maximum safety.

'''Main tasks:''' Making sure your heads are doing their jobs, figure out what needs to be done and delegate. Keep the disk close to you.

'''Main problems:''' Many [[high-risk items]] start in your office or directly in your possession. And your shiny gold id card is coveted by almost every troublemaker. Expect many attempts to be made on your life for these things.

===[[File:Generic hop.png|64px]] [[Head of Personnel]]===
Equal rank with all other non-captain Heads of Staff. First in line for succession of Acting Captain. Becomes acting Captain if the original Captain is dead or MIA. Responsible for staffing and HR-related duties. Authority over all civil departments, including the [[Janitor]], [[Chef]], [[Barman]], [[Clown]], [[Mime]], [[Assistant]]s, [[Lawyer]]s, [[Chaplain]], [[Curator]], and [[Botanist]]s.

The Head of Personnel can either be a Godsend or worse than a banana-flinging clown for the station. He can also savor the prestige or feel shackled to the [[Computers#ID_Modification_Console|ID computer]]. If you find yourself wearing teal, make the most of it by doing your job correctly.

'''1. Support the Captain.'''

Always be on the captain's side, at least publicly. Remember that since you'll take up his banner if, or more often when, he's slain, you're the ''de facto'' second in command. Be sure to work as a team to lead the crew. If he's demanding, be persuasive. If he's soft-spoken, be a task-master. This means anyone annoyed at his leadership style will likely follow yours, but it also means he has to trust you. Earn this trust by making frequent use of command chat (:c) and deferring to him on matters of great importance, like assigning new Heads or calling the shuttle. Recognize, however, that you do not outrank any other Heads of Staff. You are simply sitting at the Captain's right hand, entrusted to the keys to the station, while all other Heads must beg at your feet for access to so much as the bar. Don't let it go to your head, and the Head of Security won't brain you.

'''2. Uphold the Rights of Crewmen.'''

Only the Captain can authorize a death warrant, and you are sometimes tasked with judging trials under [[Corporate Regulations]]. You are normally considered the most impartial officer for this task, which prevents the appearance of a mere kangaroo court. Furthermore, Security often commits excesses and the Captain is either dead or personally involved in a case. For these reasons, you need to be sure to call for trials for high crimes before the accused gets left to rot in a permacell forever. While this may put you at odds with Security, you should find them fanatically loyal to the Captain, who hopefully makes clear his full confidence in you. This delicate balance of power prevents excesses against the crew.

'''3. Follow the Principle of Least Privilege.'''

When assigning new access levels or creating new jobs, ask yourself just how much access is really needed to perform the task. If a hardworking engineer wants EVA access, consider if he really needs access or just for you to open the door for him while he gets a suit. If the chaplain is being proactive about finding bodies but often needs people to open doors, maybe the risk of giving him more access is less than gain from increasing his effectiveness. Decisions like these keep the station more secure from thieves weaseling their way to their targets and cuts down on the number of accidental arrests made by Security for assumed trespassing. Remember to write their increased access or privileged items on a sheet of paper and give it a good stamping so the janitor will be able to show why he's mopping Medbay's floors.

'''4. Talk to the Crew.'''

The Captain gets nervous when someone stands next to him for too long. The Head of Security is too busy beating the clown. The Research Director is on fire, the Chief Medical Officer is up to his elbows in gore, and the Chief Engineer is trying to keep everyone warm and breathing in a vacuum. You're really the only head able to take time and listen to the crew. Invite crewmen to talk to you when there are conflicts. Defuse the interpersonal and interdepartmental problems you discover during these conversations, and prevent grievances from becoming grief. Advocate on behalf of the robusted to security, and generally reduce the frequency and intensity of mutinies.

'''5. Manage your Department First.'''

While technically you can demote everyone who's ID you seize to assistant, managing civilian workers not under another head is your immediate responsibility. Keeping janitors on task, directing the chef to throw a pizza party, and getting the records up to date are the first thing to do after assigning job and access changes. Demoting bad security officers or stepping in for an absent department head also falls on your desk, but going into other departments to micromanage in front of their head is both bad form and likely to make you reviled. Always clear a demotion with their department head, or ideally, have all the Heads aware they can send troublesome employees your way to be sent to the mining base. This lets you focus on your immediate underlings and avoid stepping on toes.

The chain of command represents how orders are distributed throughout the station. It is part of a power structure: usually seen as the most vulnerable and also the most powerful part of it. Starting from the most authorized, the Captain, through the Head of some Department, down to the lowliest subordinate to finally accomplish the task needed, in order to make the station function as efficiently as possible.

The Heads should '''not''' start doing the simplest tasks themselves unless the station's already beyond saving.

'''[[File:Identification_console.png]] Notice:'''

'''Heads can demote their staff by using the [[Identification Console]] and removing the subordinate's access to their department from their ID.'''

'''So if one of your guys isn't acting like an appropriate team player, don't hesitate to show them who's boss.'''

[[File:Job tree3.png|1191px|The station hierarchy]]

==Heads of Staff==
[[File:Bridge small.png|thumb|300px|The Bridge, safe haven of the Heads.]]
'''A.K.A. the command staff.''' These are the men and women charged with the administration of the station. Each of them have access to the [[Bridge]] and [[Brig]], the keycard authentication devices, the command radio channel (accessed with :c), the ability to make station-wide announcements, access to identification consoles and may call/recall the [[Escape Shuttle]] using a communications console. They are also the targets during a [[Revolution]].

'''Current order of Hierarchy is Captain> Acting Captain > Head of Personnel > Chief Engineer OR Research Director OR Chief Medical Officer OR Quarter Master OR Head of Security with HOS being the last in line. Command can vote to choose who is Acting Captain.''' Yes that means those 5 are of equal rank, they only out match each other in their Assigned fields and in their staffed sections. (CE = Engineering, CMO = medical, ETC) Read the briefings under each head if they get special rights to successions as Acting Captain. If the HOP gives up acting to another staff OR join late, they do not become Acting Captain and must follow the orders of the current Acting Captain.
[[File:Coc2.png|thumb|COC Flow Chart]]

===[[File:Generic captain.png|64px]] [[Captain]]===
The Commanding Officer with authority over the entire station. Eventually dies and has the Head of Personnel take over. Limited only by style - Just don't forget the [[High-risk_items#Nuclear_authentication_disk|disk]].
Has to agree and over see executions with the HOS.

'''Required knowledge:''' How the AI works. What other Heads should be doing. (this doesn't mean you need to know every job, just that you need to know that the heads have a job to do.)

'''Round-start to-do list:''' Check in with your Heads of Staff. Secure the nuclear authorization disk and give the pinpointer to someone trustworthy for maximum safety.

'''Main tasks:''' Making sure your heads are doing their jobs, figure out what needs to be done and delegate. Keep the disk close to you.

'''Main problems:''' Many [[high-risk items]] start in your office or directly in your possession. And your shiny gold id card is coveted by almost every troublemaker. Expect many attempts to be made on your life for these things.

===[[File:Generic hop.png|64px]] [[Head of Personnel]]===
Equal rank with all other non-captain Heads of Staff. First in line for succession of Acting Captain. Becomes acting Captain if the original Captain is dead or MIA. Responsible for staffing and HR-related duties. Authority over all civil departments, including the [[Janitor]], [[Chef]], [[Barman]], [[Clown]], [[Mime]], [[Assistant]]s, [[Lawyer]]s, [[Chaplain]], [[Curator]], and [[Botanist]]s.

The Head of Personnel can either be a Godsend or worse than a banana-flinging clown for the station. He can also savor the prestige or feel shackled to the [[Computers#ID_Modification_Console|ID computer]]. If you find yourself wearing teal, make the most of it by doing your job correctly.

'''1. Support the Captain.'''

Always be on the captain's side, at least publicly. Remember that since you'll take up his banner if, or more often when, he's slain, you're the ''de facto'' second in command. Be sure to work as a team to lead the crew. If he's demanding, be persuasive. If he's soft-spoken, be a task-master. This means anyone annoyed at his leadership style will likely follow yours, but it also means he has to trust you. Earn this trust by making frequent use of command chat (:c) and deferring to him on matters of great importance, like assigning new Heads or calling the shuttle. Recognize, however, that you do not outrank any other Heads of Staff. You are simply sitting at the Captain's right hand, entrusted to the keys to the station, while all other Heads must beg at your feet for access to so much as the bar. Don't let it go to your head, and the Head of Security won't brain you.

'''2. Uphold the Rights of Crewmen.'''

Only the Captain can authorize a death warrant, and you are sometimes tasked with judging trials under [[Corporate Regulations]]. You are normally considered the most impartial officer for this task, which prevents the appearance of a mere kangaroo court. Furthermore, Security often commits excesses and the Captain is either dead or personally involved in a case. For these reasons, you need to be sure to call for trials for high crimes before the accused gets left to rot in a permacell forever. While this may put you at odds with Security, you should find them fanatically loyal to the Captain, who hopefully makes clear his full confidence in you. This delicate balance of power prevents excesses against the crew.

'''3. Follow the Principle of Least Privilege.'''

When assigning new access levels or creating new jobs, ask yourself just how much access is really needed to perform the task. If a hardworking engineer wants EVA access, consider if he really needs access or just for you to open the door for him while he gets a suit. If the chaplain is being proactive about finding bodies but often needs people to open doors, maybe the risk of giving him more access is less than gain from increasing his effectiveness. Decisions like these keep the station more secure from thieves weaseling their way to their targets and cuts down on the number of accidental arrests made by Security for assumed trespassing. Remember to write their increased access or privileged items on a sheet of paper and give it a good stamping so the janitor will be able to show why he's mopping Medbay's floors.

'''4. Talk to the Crew.'''

The Captain gets nervous when someone stands next to him for too long. The Head of Security is too busy beating the clown. The Research Director is on fire, the Chief Medical Officer is up to his elbows in gore, and the Chief Engineer is trying to keep everyone warm and breathing in a vacuum. You're really the only head able to take time and listen to the crew. Invite crewmen to talk to you when there are conflicts.

Defuse the interpersonal and interdepartmental problems you discover during these conversations, and prevent grievances from becoming grief. Advocate on behalf of the robusted to security, and generally reduce the frequency and intensity of mutinies.

'''5. Manage your Department First.'''

While technically you can demote everyone who's ID you seize to assistant, managing civilian workers not under another head is your immediate responsibility. Keeping janitors on task, directing the chef to throw a pizza party, and getting the records up to date are the first thing to do after assigning job and access changes. Demoting bad security officers or stepping in for an absent department head also falls on your desk, but going into other departments to micromanage in front of their head is both bad form and likely to make you reviled. Always clear a demotion with their department head, or ideally, have all the Heads aware they can send troublesome employees your way to be sent to the mining base. This lets you focus on your immediate underlings and avoid stepping on toes.

The chain of command represents how orders are distributed throughout the station. It is part of a power structure: usually seen as the most vulnerable and also the most powerful part of it. Starting from the most authorized, the Captain, through the Head of some Department, down to the lowliest subordinate to finally accomplish the task needed, in order to make the station function as efficiently as possible.

The Heads should '''not''' start doing the simplest tasks themselves unless the station's already beyond saving.

'''[[File:Identification_console.png]] Notice:'''

'''Heads can demote their staff by using the [[Identification Console]] and removing the subordinate's access to their department from their ID.'''

'''So if one of your guys isn't acting like an appropriate team player, don't hesitate to show them who's boss.'''

[[File:Job tree3.png|1191px|The station hierarchy]]

==Heads of Staff==
[[File:Bridge small.png|thumb|300px|The Bridge, safe haven of the Heads.]]
'''A.K.A. the command staff.''' These are the men and women charged with the administration of the station. Each of them have access to the [[Bridge]] and [[Brig]], the keycard authentication devices, the command radio channel (accessed with :c), the ability to make station-wide announcements, access to identification consoles and may call/recall the [[Escape Shuttle]] using a communications console. They are also the targets during a [[Revolution]].

'''Current order of Hierarchy is Captain> Acting Captain/ Head of Personnel > Chief Engineer OR Research Director OR Chief Medical Officer OR Quarter Master OR Head of Security with HOS being the last in line. Command can vote to choose who is Acting Captain.''' Yes that means those 5 are of equal rank, they only out match each other in their Assigned fields and in their staffed sections. (CE = Engineering, CMO = medical, ETC) Read the briefings under each head if they get special rights to successions as Acting Captain. If the HOP gives up acting to another staff OR join late, they do not become Acting Captain and must follow the orders of the current Acting Captain.

[[File:COC.png|thumb|Chain of Command Flow Chart]]

===[[File:Generic captain.png|64px]] [[Captain]]===
The Commanding Officer with authority over the entire station. Eventually dies and has the Head of Personnel take over. Limited only by style - Just don't forget the [[High-risk_items#Nuclear_authentication_disk|disk]].
Has to agree and over see executions with the HOS.

'''Required knowledge:''' How the AI works. What other Heads should be doing. (this doesn't mean you need to know every job, just that you need to know that the heads have a job to do.)

'''Round-start to-do list:''' Check in with your Heads of Staff. Secure the nuclear authorization disk and give the pinpointer to someone trustworthy for maximum safety.

'''Main tasks:''' Making sure your heads are doing their jobs, figure out what needs to be done and delegate. Keep the disk close to you.

'''Main problems:''' Many [[high-risk items]] start in your office or directly in your possession. And your shiny gold id card is coveted by almost every troublemaker. Expect many attempts to be made on your life for these things.

===[[File:Generic hop.png|64px]] [[Head of Personnel]]===
Equal rank with all other non-captain Heads of Staff. First in line for succession of Acting Captain. Becomes acting Captain if the original Captain is dead or MIA. Responsible for staffing and HR-related duties. Authority over all civil departments, including the [[Janitor]], [[Chef]], [[Barman]], [[Clown]], [[Mime]], [[Assistant]]s, [[Lawyer]]s, [[Chaplain]], [[Curator]], and [[Botanist]]s.

The Head of Personnel can either be a Godsend or worse than a banana-flinging clown for the station. He can also savor the prestige or feel shackled to the [[Computers#ID_Modification_Console|ID computer]]. If you find yourself wearing teal, make the most of it by doing your job correctly.

'''1. Support the Captain.'''

Always be on the captain's side, at least publicly. Remember that since you'll take up his banner if, or more often when, he's slain, you're the ''de facto'' second in command. Be sure to work as a team to lead the crew. If he's demanding, be persuasive. If he's soft-spoken, be a task-master. This means anyone annoyed at his leadership style will likely follow yours, but it also means he has to trust you. Earn this trust by making frequent use of command chat (:c) and deferring to him on matters of great importance, like assigning new Heads or calling the shuttle. Recognize, however, that you do not outrank any other Heads of Staff. You are simply sitting at the Captain's right hand, entrusted to the keys to the station, while all other Heads must beg at your feet for access to so much as the bar. Don't let it go to your head, and the Head of Security won't brain you.

'''2. Uphold the Rights of Crewmen.'''

Only the Captain can authorize a death warrant, and you are sometimes tasked with judging trials under [[Corporate Regulations]]. You are normally considered the most impartial officer for this task, which prevents the appearance of a mere kangaroo court. Furthermore, Security often commits excesses and the Captain is either dead or personally involved in a case. For these reasons, you need to be sure to call for trials for high crimes before the accused gets left to rot in a permacell forever. While this may put you at odds with Security, you should find them fanatically loyal to the Captain, who hopefully makes clear his full confidence in you. This delicate balance of power prevents excesses against the crew.

'''3. Follow the Principle of Least Privilege.'''

When assigning new access levels or creating new jobs, ask yourself just how much access is really needed to perform the task. If a hardworking engineer wants EVA access, consider if he really needs access or just for you to open the door for him while he gets a suit. If the chaplain is being proactive about finding bodies but often needs people to open doors, maybe the risk of giving him more access is less than gain from increasing his effectiveness. Decisions like these keep the station more secure from thieves weaseling their way to their targets and cuts down on the number of accidental arrests made by Security for assumed trespassing. Remember to write their increased access or privileged items on a sheet of paper and give it a good stamping so the janitor will be able to show why he's mopping Medbay's floors.

'''4. Talk to the Crew.'''

The Captain gets nervous when someone stands next to him for too long. The Head of Security is too busy beating the clown. The Research Director is on fire, the Chief Medical Officer is up to his elbows in gore, and the Chief Engineer is trying to keep everyone warm and breathing in a vacuum. You're really the only head able to take time and listen to the crew. Invite crewmen to talk to you when there are conflicts. Defuse the interpersonal and interdepartmental problems you discover during these conversations, and prevent grievances from becoming grief. Advocate on behalf of the robusted to security, and generally reduce the frequency and intensity of mutinies.

'''5. Manage your Department First.'''

While technically you can demote everyone who's ID you seize to assistant, managing civilian workers not under another head is your immediate responsibility.

The chain of command represents how orders are distributed throughout the station. It is part of a power structure: usually seen as the most vulnerable and also the most powerful part of it. Starting from the most authorized, the Captain, through the Head of some Department, down to the lowliest subordinate to finally accomplish the task needed, in order to make the station function as efficiently as possible.

The Heads should '''not''' start doing the simplest tasks themselves unless the station's already beyond saving.

'''[[File:Identification_console.png]] Notice:'''

'''Heads can demote their staff by using the [[Identification Console]] and removing the subordinate's access to their department from their ID.'''

'''So if one of your guys isn't acting like an appropriate team player, don't hesitate to show them who's boss.'''

[[File:Job tree3.png|1191px|The station hierarchy]]

==Heads of Staff==
[[File:Bridge small.png|thumb|300px|The Bridge, safe haven of the Heads.]]
'''A.K.A. the command staff.''' These are the men and women charged with the administration of the station. Each of them have access to the [[Bridge]] and [[Brig]], the keycard authentication devices, the command radio channel (accessed with :c), the ability to make station-wide announcements, access to identification consoles and may call/recall the [[Escape Shuttle]] using a communications console. They are also the targets during a [[Revolution]].

'''Current order of Hierarchy is Captain> Acting Captain/ Head of Personnel > Chief Engineer OR Research Director OR Chief Medical Officer OR Quarter Master OR Head of Security with HOS being the last in line. Command can vote to choose who is Acting Captain.''' Yes that means those 5 are of equal rank, they only out match each other in their Assigned fields and in their staffed sections. (CE = Engineering, CMO = medical, ETC) Read the briefings under each head if they get special rights to successions as Acting Captain

===[[File:Generic captain.png|64px]] [[Captain]]===
The Commanding Officer with authority over the entire station. Eventually dies and has the Head of Personnel take over. Limited only by style - Just don't forget the [[High-risk_items#Nuclear_authentication_disk|disk]].
Has to agree and over see executions with the HOS.

'''Required knowledge:''' How the AI works. What other Heads should be doing. (this doesn't mean you need to know every job, just that you need to know that the heads have a job to do.)

'''Round-start to-do list:''' Check in with your Heads of Staff. Secure the nuclear authorization disk and give the pinpointer to someone trustworthy for maximum safety.

'''Main tasks:''' Making sure your heads are doing their jobs, figure out what needs to be done and delegate. Keep the disk close to you.

'''Main problems:''' Many [[high-risk items]] start in your office or directly in your possession. And your shiny gold id card is coveted by almost every troublemaker. Expect many attempts to be made on your life for these things.

===[[File:Generic hop.png|64px]] [[Head of Personnel]]===
Equal rank with all other non-captain Heads of Staff. First in line for succession of Acting Captain. Becomes acting Captain if the original Captain is dead or MIA. Responsible for staffing and HR-related duties.
Authority over all civil departments, including the [[Janitor]], [[Chef]], [[Barman]], [[Clown]], [[Mime]], [[Assistant]]s, [[Lawyer]]s, [[Chaplain]], [[Curator]], and [[Botanist]]s.

The Head of Personnel can either be a Godsend or worse than a banana-flinging clown for the station. He can also savor the prestige or feel shackled to the [[Computers#ID_Modification_Console|ID computer]]. If you find yourself wearing teal, make the most of it by doing your job correctly.

'''1. Support the Captain.'''

Always be on the captain's side, at least publicly. Remember that since you'll take up his banner if, or more often when, he's slain, you're the ''de facto'' second in command. Be sure to work as a team to lead the crew. If he's demanding, be persuasive. If he's soft-spoken, be a task-master. This means anyone annoyed at his leadership style will likely follow yours, but it also means he has to trust you. Earn this trust by making frequent use of command chat (:c) and deferring to him on matters of great importance, like assigning new Heads or calling the shuttle. Recognize, however, that you do not outrank any other Heads of Staff. You are simply sitting at the Captain's right hand, entrusted to the keys to the station, while all other Heads must beg at your feet for access to so much as the bar. Don't let it go to your head, and the Head of Security won't brain you.

'''2. Uphold the Rights of Crewmen.'''

Only the Captain can authorize a death warrant, and you are sometimes tasked with judging trials under [[Corporate Regulations]]. You are normally considered the most impartial officer for this task, which prevents the appearance of a mere kangaroo court. Furthermore, Security often commits excesses and the Captain is either dead or personally involved in a case. For these reasons, you need to be sure to call for trials for high crimes before the accused gets left to rot in a permacell forever. While this may put you at odds with Security, you should find them fanatically loyal to the Captain, who hopefully makes clear his full confidence in you. This delicate balance of power prevents excesses against the crew.

'''3. Follow the Principle of Least Privilege.'''

When assigning new access levels or creating new jobs, ask yourself just how much access is really needed to perform the task. If a hardworking engineer wants EVA access, consider if he really needs access or just for you to open the door for him while he gets a suit. If the chaplain is being proactive about finding bodies but often needs people to open doors, maybe the risk of giving him more access is less than gain from increasing his effectiveness. Decisions like these keep the station more secure from thieves weaseling their way to their targets and cuts down on the number of accidental arrests made by Security for assumed trespassing. Remember to write their increased access or privileged items on a sheet of paper and give it a good stamping so the janitor will be able to show why he's mopping Medbay's floors.

'''4. Talk to the Crew.'''

The Captain gets nervous when someone stands next to him for too long. The Head of Security is too busy beating the clown. The Research Director is on fire, the Chief Medical Officer is up to his elbows in gore, and the Chief Engineer is trying to keep everyone warm and breathing in a vacuum. You're really the only head able to take time and listen to the crew. Invite crewmen to talk to you when there are conflicts. Defuse the interpersonal and interdepartmental problems you discover during these conversations, and prevent grievances from becoming grief. Advocate on behalf of the robusted to security, and generally reduce the frequency and intensity of mutinies.

'''5. Manage your Department First.'''

While technically you can demote everyone who's ID you seize to assistant, managing civilian workers not under another head is your immediate responsibility. Keeping janitors on task, directing the chef to throw a pizza party, and getting the records up to date are the first thing to do after assigning job and access changes. Demoting bad security officers or stepping in for an absent department head also falls on your desk, but going into other departments to micromanage in front of their head is both bad form and likely to make you reviled. Always clear a demotion with their department head, or ideally, have all the Heads aware they can send troublesome employees your way to be sent to the mining base. This lets you focus on your immediate underlings and avoid stepping on toes.

'''Required knowledge:''' How to use the Identification Console. A rough idea of how access is distributed throughout the station. What Cargo, Kitchen, Hydroponics and the Janitor should be doing.

'''Round-start to-do list:''' Stay at your desk for at least the first 10 minutes to manage the shift-start rush.

The chain of command represents how orders are distributed throughout the station. It is part of a power structure: usually seen as the most vulnerable and also the most powerful part of it. Starting from the most authorized, the Captain, through the Head of some Department, down to the lowliest subordinate to finally accomplish the task needed, in order to make the station function as efficiently as possible.

The Heads should '''not''' start doing the simplest tasks themselves unless the station's already beyond saving.

'''[[File:Identification_console.png]] Notice:'''

'''Heads can demote their staff by using the [[Identification Console]] and removing the subordinate's access to their department from their ID.'''

'''So if one of your guys isn't acting like an appropriate team player, don't hesitate to show them who's boss.'''

[[File:Job tree3.png|1191px|The station hierarchy]]

==Heads of Staff==
[[File:Bridge small.png|thumb|300px|The Bridge, safe haven of the Heads.]]
'''A.K.A. the command staff.''' These are the men and women charged with the administration of the station. Each of them have access to the [[Bridge]] and [[Brig]], the keycard authentication devices, the command radio channel (accessed with :c), the ability to make station-wide announcements, access to identification consoles and may call/recall the [[Escape Shuttle]] using a communications console. They are also the targets during a [[Revolution]].

'''Current order of Hierarchy is Captain> Acting Captain> Head of Personnel or Chief Engineer OR Research Director OR Chief Medical Officer OR Quarter Master OR Head of Security with HOS being the last in line. Command can vote to choose who is Acting Captain.''' Yes that means those 6 are of equal rank, they only out match each other in their Assigned fields and in their staffed sections. (CE = Engineering, CMO = medical, ETC) Read the briefings under each head if they get special rights to successions as Acting Captain

===[[File:Generic captain.png|64px]] [[Captain]]===
The Commanding Officer with authority over the entire station. Eventually dies and has the Head of Personnel take over. Limited only by style - Just don't forget the [[High-risk_items#Nuclear_authentication_disk|disk]].
Has to agree and over see executions with the HOS.

'''Required knowledge:''' How the AI works. What other Heads should be doing. (this doesn't mean you need to know every job, just that you need to know that the heads have a job to do.)

'''Round-start to-do list:''' Check in with your Heads of Staff. Secure the nuclear authorization disk and give the pinpointer to someone trustworthy for maximum safety.

'''Main tasks:''' Making sure your heads are doing their jobs, figure out what needs to be done and delegate. Keep the disk close to you.

'''Main problems:''' Many [[high-risk items]] start in your office or directly in your possession. And your shiny gold id card is coveted by almost every troublemaker. Expect many attempts to be made on your life for these things.

===[[File:Generic hop.png|64px]] [[Head of Personnel]]===
Equal rank with all other non-captain Heads of Staff. First in line for succession of Acting Captain. Becomes acting Captain if the original Captain is dead or MIA. Responsible for staffing and HR-related duties.
Authority over all civil departments, including the [[Janitor]], [[Chef]], [[Barman]], [[Clown]], [[Mime]], [[Assistant]]s, [[Lawyer]]s, [[Chaplain]], [[Curator]], and [[Botanist]]s.

The Head of Personnel can either be a Godsend or worse than a banana-flinging clown for the station. He can also savor the prestige or feel shackled to the [[Computers#ID_Modification_Console|ID computer]]. If you find yourself wearing teal, make the most of it by doing your job correctly.

'''1. Support the Captain.'''

Always be on the captain's side, at least publicly. Remember that since you'll take up his banner if, or more often when, he's slain, you're the ''de facto'' second in command. Be sure to work as a team to lead the crew. If he's demanding, be persuasive. If he's soft-spoken, be a task-master. This means anyone annoyed at his leadership style will likely follow yours, but it also means he has to trust you. Earn this trust by making frequent use of command chat (:c) and deferring to him on matters of great importance, like assigning new Heads or calling the shuttle. Recognize, however, that you do not outrank any other Heads of Staff. You are simply sitting at the Captain's right hand, entrusted to the keys to the station, while all other Heads must beg at your feet for access to so much as the bar. Don't let it go to your head, and the Head of Security won't brain you.

'''2. Uphold the Rights of Crewmen.'''

Only the Captain can authorize a death warrant, and you are sometimes tasked with judging trials under [[Corporate Regulations]]. You are normally considered the most impartial officer for this task, which prevents the appearance of a mere kangaroo court. Furthermore, Security often commits excesses and the Captain is either dead or personally involved in a case. For these reasons, you need to be sure to call for trials for high crimes before the accused gets left to rot in a permacell forever. While this may put you at odds with Security, you should find them fanatically loyal to the Captain, who hopefully makes clear his full confidence in you. This delicate balance of power prevents excesses against the crew.

'''3. Follow the Principle of Least Privilege.'''

When assigning new access levels or creating new jobs, ask yourself just how much access is really needed to perform the task. If a hardworking engineer wants EVA access, consider if he really needs access or just for you to open the door for him while he gets a suit. If the chaplain is being proactive about finding bodies but often needs people to open doors, maybe the risk of giving him more access is less than gain from increasing his effectiveness. Decisions like these keep the station more secure from thieves weaseling their way to their targets and cuts down on the number of accidental arrests made by Security for assumed trespassing. Remember to write their increased access or privileged items on a sheet of paper and give it a good stamping so the janitor will be able to show why he's mopping Medbay's floors.

'''4. Talk to the Crew.'''

The Captain gets nervous when someone stands next to him for too long. The Head of Security is too busy beating the clown. The Research Director is on fire, the Chief Medical Officer is up to his elbows in gore, and the Chief Engineer is trying to keep everyone warm and breathing in a vacuum. You're really the only head able to take time and listen to the crew. Invite crewmen to talk to you when there are conflicts. Defuse the interpersonal and interdepartmental problems you discover during these conversations, and prevent grievances from becoming grief. Advocate on behalf of the robusted to security, and generally reduce the frequency and intensity of mutinies.

'''5. Manage your Department First.'''

While technically you can demote everyone who's ID you seize to assistant, managing civilian workers not under another head is your immediate responsibility. Keeping janitors on task, directing the chef to throw a pizza party, and getting the records up to date are the first thing to do after assigning job and access changes. Demoting bad security officers or stepping in for an absent department head also falls on your desk, but going into other departments to micromanage in front of their head is both bad form and likely to make you reviled. Always clear a demotion with their department head, or ideally, have all the Heads aware they can send troublesome employees your way to be sent to the mining base. This lets you focus on your immediate underlings and avoid stepping on toes.

'''Required knowledge:''' How to use the Identification Console. A rough idea of how access is distributed throughout the station. What Cargo, Kitchen, Hydroponics and the Janitor should be doing.

'''Round-start to-do list:''' Stay at your desk for at least the first 10 minutes to manage the shift-start rush.

'''Main tasks:''' Manage IDs.

'''Main problems:''' Your department (the civil department) doesn't ever acknowledge you as their boss. It's your duty to make that a thing of the past!

===[[File:Generic rd.png|64px]] [[Research Director]]===
Equal rank with all other non-captain Heads of Staff. Due to AI access, often promoted to acting Captain if there is neither a Captain nor a HoP.

Chains of Command Revision not in use yet

The chain of command represents how orders are distributed throughout the station. It is part of a power structure: usually seen as the most vulnerable and also the most powerful part of it. Starting from the most authorized, the Captain, through the Head of some Department, down to the lowliest subordinate to finally accomplish the task needed, in order to make the station function as efficiently as possible.

The Heads should '''not''' start doing the simplest tasks themselves unless the station's already beyond saving.

'''[[File:Identification_console.png]] Notice:'''

'''Heads can demote their staff by using the [[Identification Console]] and removing the subordinate's access to their department from their ID.'''

'''So if one of your guys isn't acting like an appropriate team player, don't hesitate to show them who's boss.'''

[[File:Job tree3.png|1191px|The station hierarchy]]

==Heads of Staff==
[[File:Bridge small.png|thumb|300px|The Bridge, safe haven of the Heads.]]
'''A.K.A. the command staff.''' These are the men and women charged with the administration of the station. Each of them have access to the [[Bridge]] and [[Brig]], the keycard authentication devices, the command radio channel (accessed with :c), the ability to make station-wide announcements, access to identification consoles and may call/recall the [[Escape Shuttle]] using a communications console. They are also the targets during a [[Revolution]].

'''Current order of Hierarchy is Captain> Acting Captain> Head of Personnel or Chief Engineer OR Research Director OR Chief Medical Officer OR Quarter Master OR Head of Security with HOS being the last in line. Command can vote to choose who is Acting Captain.''' Yes that means those 6 are of equal rank, they only out match each other in their Assigned fields and in their staffed sections. (CE = Engineering, CMO = medical, ETC) Read the briefings under each head if they get special rights to successions as Acting Captain

===[[File:Generic captain.png|64px]] [[Captain]]===
The Commanding Officer with authority over the entire station. Eventually dies and has the Head of Personnel take over. Limited only by style - Just don't forget the [[High-risk_items#Nuclear_authentication_disk|disk]].
Has to agree and over see executions with the HOS.

'''Required knowledge:''' How the AI works. What other Heads should be doing. (this doesn't mean you need to know every job, just that you need to know that the heads have a job to do.)

'''Round-start to-do list:''' Check in with your Heads of Staff. Secure the nuclear authorization disk and give the pinpointer to someone trustworthy for maximum safety.

'''Main tasks:''' Making sure your heads are doing their jobs, figure out what needs to be done and delegate. Keep the disk close to you.

'''Main problems:''' Many [[high-risk items]] start in your office or directly in your possession. And your shiny gold id card is coveted by almost every troublemaker. Expect many attempts to be made on your life for these things.

===[[File:Generic hop.png|64px]] [[Head of Personnel]]===
Equal rank with all other non-captain Heads of Staff. First in line for succession of Acting Captain. Becomes acting Captain if the original Captain is dead or MIA. Responsible for staffing and HR-related duties.
Authority over all civil departments, including the [[Janitor]], [[Chef]], [[Barman]], [[Clown]], [[Mime]], [[Assistant]]s, [[Lawyer]]s, [[Chaplain]], [[Curator]], and [[Botanist]]s.

The Head of Personnel can either be a Godsend or worse than a banana-flinging clown for the station. He can also savor the prestige or feel shackled to the [[Computers#ID_Modification_Console|ID computer]]. If you find yourself wearing teal, make the most of it by doing your job correctly.

'''1. Support the Captain.'''

Always be on the captain's side, at least publicly. Remember that since you'll take up his banner if, or more often when, he's slain, you're the ''de facto'' second in command. Be sure to work as a team to lead the crew. If he's demanding, be persuasive. If he's soft-spoken, be a task-master. This means anyone annoyed at his leadership style will likely follow yours, but it also means he has to trust you. Earn this trust by making frequent use of command chat (:c) and deferring to him on matters of great importance, like assigning new Heads or calling the shuttle. Recognize, however, that you do not outrank any other Heads of Staff. You are simply sitting at the Captain's right hand, entrusted to the keys to the station, while all other Heads must beg at your feet for access to so much as the bar. Don't let it go to your head, and the Head of Security won't brain you.

'''2. Uphold the Rights of Crewmen.'''

Only the Captain can authorize a death warrant, and you are sometimes tasked with judging trials under [[Corporate Regulations]]. You are normally considered the most impartial officer for this task, which prevents the appearance of a mere kangaroo court. Furthermore, Security often commits excesses and the Captain is either dead or personally involved in a case. For these reasons, you need to be sure to call for trials for high crimes before the accused gets left to rot in a permacell forever. While this may put you at odds with Security, you should find them fanatically loyal to the Captain, who hopefully makes clear his full confidence in you. This delicate balance of power prevents excesses against the crew.

'''3. Follow the Principle of Least Privilege.'''

When assigning new access levels or creating new jobs, ask yourself just how much access is really needed to perform the task. If a hardworking engineer wants EVA access, consider if he really needs access or just for you to open the door for him while he gets a suit. If the chaplain is being proactive about finding bodies but often needs people to open doors, maybe the risk of giving him more access is less than gain from increasing his effectiveness. Decisions like these keep the station more secure from thieves weaseling their way to their targets and cuts down on the number of accidental arrests made by Security for assumed trespassing. Remember to write their increased access or privileged items on a sheet of paper and give it a good stamping so the janitor will be able to show why he's mopping Medbay's floors.

'''4. Talk to the Crew.'''

The Captain gets nervous when someone stands next to him for too long. The Head of Security is too busy beating the clown. The Research Director is on fire, the Chief Medical Officer is up to his elbows in gore, and the Chief Engineer is trying to keep everyone warm and breathing in a vacuum. You're really the only head able to take time and listen to the crew. Invite crewmen to talk to you when there are conflicts. Defuse the interpersonal and interdepartmental problems you discover during these conversations, and prevent grievances from becoming grief. Advocate on behalf of the robusted to security, and generally reduce the frequency and intensity of mutinies.

'''5. Manage your Department First.'''

While technically you can demote everyone who's ID you seize to assistant, managing civilian workers not under another head is your immediate responsibility. Keeping janitors on task, directing the chef to throw a pizza party, and getting the records up to date are the first thing to do after assigning job and access changes. Demoting bad security officers or stepping in for an absent department head also falls on your desk, but going into other departments to micromanage in front of their head is both bad form and likely to make you reviled. Always clear a demotion with their department head, or ideally, have all the Heads aware they can send troublesome employees your way to be sent to the mining base. This lets you focus on your immediate underlings and avoid stepping on toes.

'''Required knowledge:''' How to use the Identification Console. A rough idea of how access is distributed throughout the station. What Cargo, Kitchen, Hydroponics and the Janitor should be doing.

'''Round-start to-do list:''' Stay at your desk for at least the first 10 minutes to manage the shift-start rush.

'''Main tasks:''' Manage IDs.

'''Main problems:''' Your department (the civil department) doesn't ever acknowledge you as their boss. It's your duty to make that a thing of the past!

The chain of command represents how orders are distributed throughout the station. It is part of a power structure: usually seen as the most vulnerable and also the most powerful part of it. Starting from the most authorized, the Captain, through the Head of some Department, down to the lowliest subordinate to finally accomplish the task needed, in order to make the station function as efficiently as possible.

The Heads should '''not''' start doing the simplest tasks themselves unless the station's already beyond saving.

'''[[File:Identification_console.png]] Notice:'''

'''Heads can demote their staff by using the [[Identification Console]] and removing the subordinate's access to their department from their ID.'''

'''So if one of your guys isn't acting like an appropriate team player, don't hesitate to show them who's boss.'''

[[File:Job tree3.png|1191px|The station hierarchy]]

==Heads of Staff==
[[File:Bridge small.png|thumb|300px|The Bridge, safe haven of the Heads.]]
'''A.K.A. the command staff.''' These are the men and women charged with the administration of the station. Each of them have access to the [[Bridge]] and [[Brig]], the keycard authentication devices, the command radio channel (accessed with :c), the ability to make station-wide announcements, access to identification consoles and may call/recall the [[Escape Shuttle]] using a communications console. They are also the targets during a [[Revolution]].

'''Current order of Hierarchy is Captain> Head of Personnel> Acting Captain> Chief Engineer OR Research Director OR Chief Medical Officer OR Quarter Master OR Head of Security with HOS being the last in line unless the others agree to it.''' Yes that means those five are of equal rank, they only out match each other in their Assigned fields and in their staffed sections. (CE = Engineering, CMO = medical, ETC)

===[[File:Generic captain.png|64px]] [[Captain]]===
The Commanding Officer with authority over the entire station. Eventually dies and has the Head of Personnel take over. Limited only by style - Just don't forget the [[High-risk_items#Nuclear_authentication_disk|disk]].
The only position that can issue death warrants without a trial.

'''Required knowledge:''' How the AI works. What other Heads should be doing.

'''Round-start to-do list:''' Check in with your Heads of Staff. Secure the nuclear authorization disk and give the pinpointer to [[Clown|someone trustworthy]] for maximum safety.

'''Main tasks:''' Making sure your heads are doing their jobs, figure out what needs to be done and delegate. Keep the disk close to you.

'''Main problems:''' Many [[high-risk items]] start in your office or directly in your possession. And your shiny gold id card is coveted by almost every troublemaker. Expect many attempts to be made on your life for these things.

===[[File:Generic hop.png|64px]] [[Head of Personnel]]===
Equal rank with all other non-captain Heads of Staff. Becomes acting Captain if the original Captain is dead or MIA. Responsible for staffing and HR-related duties.
Authority over all civil and supply departments, including the [[Janitor]], [[Chef]], [[Barman]], [[Clown]], [[Mime]], [[Assistant]]s, [[Quartermaster]], [[Shaft Miner]]s, [[Lawyer]]s, [[Chaplain]], [[Curator]], [[Botanist]]s and [[Cargo Technician|Cargo Techs]].

The Head of Personnel can either be a Godsend or worse than a banana-flinging clown for the station. He can also savor the prestige or feel shackled to the [[Computers#ID_Modification_Console|ID computer]]. If you find yourself wearing teal, make the most of it by doing your job correctly.

'''1. Support the Captain.'''

Always be on the captain's side, at least publicly. Remember that since you'll take up his banner if, or more often when, he's slain, you're the ''de facto'' second in command. Be sure to work as a team to lead the crew. If he's demanding, be persuasive. If he's soft-spoken, be a task-master. This means anyone annoyed at his leadership style will likely follow yours, but it also means he has to trust you. Earn this trust by making frequent use of command chat (:c) and deferring to him on matters of great importance, like assigning new Heads or calling the shuttle. Recognize, however, that you do not outrank any other Heads of Staff. You are simply sitting at the Captain's right hand, entrusted to the keys to the station, while all other Heads must beg at your feet for access to so much as the bar. Don't let it go to your head, and the Head of Security won't brain you.

'''2. Uphold the Rights of Crewmen.'''

Only the Captain can authorize a death warrant, and you are sometimes tasked with judging trials under [[Corporate Regulations]]. You are normally considered the most impartial officer for this task, which prevents the appearance of a mere kangaroo court. Furthermore, Security often commits excesses and the Captain is either dead or personally involved in a case. For these reasons, you need to be sure to call for trials for high crimes before the accused gets left to rot in a permacell forever. While this may put you at odds with Security, you should find them fanatically loyal to the Captain, who hopefully makes clear his full confidence in you. This delicate balance of power prevents excesses against the crew. Almost always, a weak Captain and Head of Personnel will result in [[shitcurity|shitcurity]].

'''3. Follow the Principle of Least Privilege.'''

When assigning new access levels or creating new jobs, ask yourself just how much access is really needed to perform the task. If a hardworking engineer wants EVA access, consider if he really needs access or just for you to open the door for him while he gets a suit. If the chaplain is being proactive about finding bodies but often needs people to open doors, maybe the risk of giving him more access is less than gain from increasing his effectiveness. Decisions like these keep the station more secure from thieves weaseling their way to their targets and cuts down on the number of accidental arrests made by Security for assumed trespassing. Remember to write their increased access or privileged items on a sheet of paper and give it a good stamping so the janitor will be able to show why he's mopping Medbay's floors.

'''4. Talk to the Crew.'''

The Captain gets nervous when someone stands next to him for too long. The Head of Security is too busy beating the clown. The Research Director is on fire, the Chief Medical Officer is up to his elbows in gore, and the Chief Engineer is trying to keep everyone warm and breathing in a vacuum. You're really the only head able to take time and listen to the crew. Invite crewmen to talk to you when there are conflicts. Defuse the interpersonal and interdepartmental problems you discover during these conversations, and prevent grievances from becoming grief. Advocate on behalf of the robusted to security, and generally reduce the frequency and intensity of mutinies.

'''5. Manage your Department First.'''

While technically you can demote everyone who's ID you seize to assistant, managing civilian workers not under another head is your immediate responsibility. Keeping janitors on task, directing the chef to throw a pizza party, ensuring the [[Quartermaster]] is on top of things, and getting the records up to date are the first thing to do after assigning job and access changes. Demoting bad security officers or stepping in for an absent department head also falls on your desk, but going into other departments to micromanage in front of their head is both bad form and likely to make you reviled. Always clear a demotion with their department head, or ideally, have all the Heads aware they can send troublesome employees your way to be sent to the mining base. This lets you focus on your immediate underlings and avoid stepping on toes.

'''Required knowledge:''' How to use the Identification Console. A rough idea of how access is distributed throughout the station. What Cargo, Kitchen, Hydroponics and the Janitor should be doing.

'''Round-start to-do list:''' Stay at your desk for at least the first 10 minutes to manage the shift-start rush.

'''Main tasks:''' Manage IDs.

'''Main problems:''' Your department (the civil department) doesn't ever acknowledge you as their boss. It's your duty to make that a thing of the past!

===[[File:Generic rd.png|64px]] [[Research Director]]===
Equal rank with all other non-captain Heads of Staff. Due to AI access, often promoted to acting Captain if there is neither a Captain nor a HoP.
Oversees research efforts with authority over [[Scientist]]s, [[Roboticist]]s, and [[Geneticist|Geneticists]]. Maintains the integrity of the [[AI]] and its [[Cyborg]]s.

'''Required knowledge:''' Know how R&D works, how to upgrade machines, how xenobiology works, how telescience works and how robotics work.

'''Round-start to-do list:''' Make sure one of your scientist is doing R&D and help him out if needed. Ask if there are miners around and request the minerals your R&D and Robotics both need.

'''Main tasks:''' Upgrading machines across the station.

'''Main problems:''' Bombs made in toxins usually get sneaked out and exploded. Check on them from time to time.

===[[File:Generic ce.png|64px]] [[Chief Engineer]]===
Equal rank with all other non-captain Heads of Staff.
Oversees the maintenance of the station, with authority over [[Station Engineer]]s and [[Atmospheric Technician]]s. Authority over [[Telecoms]] maintenance.

'''Required knowledge:''' How the telecommunications, atmospherics, solars and the [[supermatter]] work. [[Malfunction|How to deconstruct an APC.]]

'''Round-start to-do list:''' Have your team start the [[supermatter]] correctly and have power flowing to the station. Make sure the atmospheric system is set up correctly.

'''Main tasks:''' Listening the radio for people yelling about station damage and delegating your engineers there with appropriate tools and materials.

'''Main problems:''' The station is bound to have explosions or at least minor holes in it during the shift. Learn how to tackle the exploded telecommunications -situation and you'll be irreplaceable in more than one shift, guaranteed.

===[[File:Generic cmo.png|64px]] [[Chief Medical Officer]]===
Equal rank with all other non-captain Heads of Staff. If a Head of Staff is acting medically unstable, it is the CMO's duty to disable and treat them till they are once again fit for duty (which could be never).
Oversees station-wide medical issues with authority over the [[Virologist]], [[Chemist]]s and [[Medical Doctor]]s.

'''Required knowledge:''' How to cure viruses and create vaccines. Formulas for the most common medicines. How to prepare and administer clean SEs.

'''Round-start to-do list:''' Make an announcement to the crew about maxing out their suit sensors so you'll be able to help them when they get in trouble. Check that the cryogenic tubes get set up, possibly with a more efficient mixture of chemicals from the chemist.

'''Main tasks:''' Check the Crew Monitoring Console from time to time for dead/dying people.

'''Main problems:''' Medical jobs are a common choice for new players seeking a relevant role. So when not absent, dead, or traitorous, expect your staff to need constant babysitting and guidance on how to perform even basic treatments.

===[[File:Generic_qm.png|64px]] [[Quartermaster]]===

Authority over the supply sector, including [[Cargo Technician]]s and [[Shaft Miner]]s.

'''Required knowledge:''' Managing Cargo Tech's, how to operate the Cargo Bay.

Equal rank with all other non-captain Heads of Staff. Although he technically has access, other Heads may deny him from entering their domains. '''Usually withheld from a promotion to acting Captain if other Heads are available,''' however in times of crisis he may usually force himself into the position as acting Captain to better control the crisis.
Oversees security matters with authority over [[Security Officer]]s, the [[Warden]] and the [[Detective]]. Expected to detain and handle those who endanger the station, including other heads of staff, and in some cases, the Captain.

The chain of command represents how orders are distributed throughout the station. It is part of a power structure: usually seen as the most vulnerable and also the most powerful part of it. Starting from the most authorized, the Captain, through the Head of some Department, down to the lowliest subordinate to finally accomplish the task needed, in order to make the station function as efficiently as possible.

The Heads should '''not''' start doing the simplest tasks themselves unless the station's already beyond saving.

'''[[File:Identification_console.png]] Notice:'''

'''Heads can demote their staff by using the [[Identification Console]] and removing the subordinate's access to their department from their ID.'''

'''So if one of your guys isn't acting like an appropriate team player, don't hesitate to show them who's boss.'''

[[File:Job tree3.png|1191px|The station hierarchy]]

==Heads of Staff==
[[File:Bridge small.png|thumb|300px|The Bridge, safe haven of the Heads.]]
'''A.K.A. the command staff.''' These are the men and women charged with the administration of the station. Each of them have access to the [[Bridge]] and [[Brig]], the keycard authentication devices, the command radio channel (accessed with :c), the ability to make station-wide announcements, access to identification consoles and may call/recall the [[Escape Shuttle]] using a communications console. They are also the targets during a [[Revolution]].

===[[File:Generic captain.png|64px]] [[Captain]]===
The Commanding Officer with authority over the entire station. Eventually dies and has the Head of Personnel take over. Limited only by style - Just don't forget the [[High-risk_items#Nuclear_authentication_disk|disk]].
The only position that can issue death warrants without a trial.

'''Required knowledge:''' How the AI works. What other Heads should be doing.

'''Round-start to-do list:''' Check in with your Heads of Staff. Secure the nuclear authorization disk and give the pinpointer to [[Clown|someone trustworthy]] for maximum safety.

'''Main tasks:''' Making sure your heads are doing their jobs, figure out what needs to be done and delegate. Keep the disk close to you.

'''Main problems:''' Many [[high-risk items]] start in your office or directly in your possession. And your shiny gold id card is coveted by almost every troublemaker. Expect many attempts to be made on your life for these things.

===[[File:Generic hop.png|64px]] [[Head of Personnel]]===
Equal rank with all other non-captain Heads of Staff. Becomes acting Captain if the original Captain is dead or MIA. Responsible for staffing and HR-related duties.
Authority over all civil and supply departments, including the [[Janitor]], [[Chef]], [[Barman]], [[Clown]], [[Mime]], [[Assistant]]s, [[Quartermaster]], [[Shaft Miner]]s, [[Lawyer]]s, [[Chaplain]], [[Curator]], [[Botanist]]s and [[Cargo Technician|Cargo Techs]].

The Head of Personnel can either be a Godsend or worse than a banana-flinging clown for the station. He can also savor the prestige or feel shackled to the [[Computers#ID_Modification_Console|ID computer]]. If you find yourself wearing teal, make the most of it by doing your job correctly.

'''1. Support the Captain.'''

Always be on the captain's side, at least publicly. Remember that since you'll take up his banner if, or more often when, he's slain, you're the ''de facto'' second in command. Be sure to work as a team to lead the crew. If he's demanding, be persuasive. If he's soft-spoken, be a task-master. This means anyone annoyed at his leadership style will likely follow yours, but it also means he has to trust you. Earn this trust by making frequent use of command chat (:c) and deferring to him on matters of great importance, like assigning new Heads or calling the shuttle. Recognize, however, that you do not outrank any other Heads of Staff. You are simply sitting at the Captain's right hand, entrusted to the keys to the station, while all other Heads must beg at your feet for access to so much as the bar. Don't let it go to your head, and the Head of Security won't brain you.

'''2. Uphold the Rights of Crewmen.'''

Only the Captain can authorize a death warrant, and you are sometimes tasked with judging trials under [[Corporate Regulations]]. You are normally considered the most impartial officer for this task, which prevents the appearance of a mere kangaroo court. Furthermore, Security often commits excesses and the Captain is either dead or personally involved in a case. For these reasons, you need to be sure to call for trials for high crimes before the accused gets left to rot in a permacell forever. While this may put you at odds with Security, you should find them fanatically loyal to the Captain, who hopefully makes clear his full confidence in you. This delicate balance of power prevents excesses against the crew. Almost always, a weak Captain and Head of Personnel will result in [[shitcurity|shitcurity]].

'''3. Follow the Principle of Least Privilege.'''

When assigning new access levels or creating new jobs, ask yourself just how much access is really needed to perform the task. If a hardworking engineer wants EVA access, consider if he really needs access or just for you to open the door for him while he gets a suit. If the chaplain is being proactive about finding bodies but often needs people to open doors, maybe the risk of giving him more access is less than gain from increasing his effectiveness. Decisions like these keep the station more secure from thieves weaseling their way to their targets and cuts down on the number of accidental arrests made by Security for assumed trespassing. Remember to write their increased access or privileged items on a sheet of paper and give it a good stamping so the janitor will be able to show why he's mopping Medbay's floors.

'''4. Talk to the Crew.'''

The Captain gets nervous when someone stands next to him for too long. The Head of Security is too busy beating the clown. The Research Director is on fire, the Chief Medical Officer is up to his elbows in gore, and the Chief Engineer is trying to keep everyone warm and breathing in a vacuum. You're really the only head able to take time and listen to the crew. Invite crewmen to talk to you when there are conflicts. Defuse the interpersonal and interdepartmental problems you discover during these conversations, and prevent grievances from becoming grief. Advocate on behalf of the robusted to security, and generally reduce the frequency and intensity of mutinies.

'''5. Manage your Department First.'''

While technically you can demote everyone who's ID you seize to assistant, managing civilian workers not under another head is your immediate responsibility. Keeping janitors on task, directing the chef to throw a pizza party, ensuring the [[Quartermaster]] is on top of things, and getting the records up to date are the first thing to do after assigning job and access changes. Demoting bad security officers or stepping in for an absent department head also falls on your desk, but going into other departments to micromanage in front of their head is both bad form and likely to make you reviled. Always clear a demotion with their department head, or ideally, have all the Heads aware they can send troublesome employees your way to be sent to the mining base. This lets you focus on your immediate underlings and avoid stepping on toes.

'''Required knowledge:''' How to use the Identification Console. A rough idea of how access is distributed throughout the station. What Cargo, Kitchen, Hydroponics and the Janitor should be doing.

'''Round-start to-do list:''' Stay at your desk for at least the first 10 minutes to manage the shift-start rush.

'''Main tasks:''' Manage IDs.

'''Main problems:''' Your department (the civil department) doesn't ever acknowledge you as their boss. It's your duty to make that a thing of the past!

===[[File:Generic rd.png|64px]] [[Research Director]]===
Equal rank with all other non-captain Heads of Staff. Due to AI access, often promoted to acting Captain if there is neither a Captain nor a HoP.
Oversees research efforts with authority over [[Scientist]]s, [[Roboticist]]s, and [[Geneticist|Geneticists]]. Maintains the integrity of the [[AI]] and its [[Cyborg]]s.

'''Required knowledge:''' Know how R&D works, how to upgrade machines, how xenobiology works, how telescience works and how robotics work.

'''Round-start to-do list:''' Make sure one of your scientist is doing R&D and help him out if needed. Ask if there are miners around and request the minerals your R&D and Robotics both need.

'''Main tasks:''' Upgrading machines across the station.

'''Main problems:''' Bombs made in toxins usually get sneaked out and exploded. Check on them from time to time.

===[[File:Generic ce.png|64px]] [[Chief Engineer]]===
Equal rank with all other non-captain Heads of Staff.
Oversees the maintenance of the station, with authority over [[Station Engineer]]s and [[Atmospheric Technician]]s. Authority over [[Telecoms]] maintenance.

'''Required knowledge:''' How the telecommunications, atmospherics, solars and the [[supermatter]] work. [[Malfunction|How to deconstruct an APC.]]

'''Round-start to-do list:''' Have your team start the [[supermatter]] correctly and have power flowing to the station. Make sure the atmospheric system is set up correctly.

'''Main tasks:''' Listening the radio for people yelling about station damage and delegating your engineers there with appropriate tools and materials.

'''Main problems:''' The station is bound to have explosions or at least minor holes in it during the shift. Learn how to tackle the exploded telecommunications -situation and you'll be irreplaceable in more than one shift, guaranteed.

===[[File:Generic cmo.png|64px]] [[Chief Medical Officer]]===
Equal rank with all other non-captain Heads of Staff. If a Head of Staff is acting medically unstable, it is the CMO's duty to disable and treat them till they are once again fit for duty (which could be never).
Oversees station-wide medical issues with authority over the [[Virologist]], [[Chemist]]s and [[Medical Doctor]]s.

'''Required knowledge:''' How to cure viruses and create vaccines. Formulas for the most common medicines. How to prepare and administer clean SEs.

'''Round-start to-do list:''' Make an announcement to the crew about maxing out their suit sensors so you'll be able to help them when they get in trouble. Check that the cryogenic tubes get set up, possibly with a more efficient mixture of chemicals from the chemist.

'''Main tasks:''' Check the Crew Monitoring Console from time to time for dead/dying people.

'''Main problems:''' Medical jobs are a common choice for new players seeking a relevant role. So when not absent, dead, or traitorous, expect your staff to need constant babysitting and guidance on how to perform even basic treatments.

===[[File:Generic hos.png|64px]] [[Head of Security]]===
Equal rank with all other non-captain Heads of Staff. Although he technically has access, other Heads may deny him from entering their domains. '''Usually withheld from a promotion to acting Captain if other Heads are available,''' however in times of crisis he may usually force himself into the position as acting Captain to better control the crisis.
Oversees security matters with authority over [[Security Officer]]s, the [[Warden]] and the [[Detective]]. Expected to detain and handle those who endanger the station, including other heads of staff, and in some cases, the Captain.

'''Required knowledge:''' How to use security equipment, a firm grasp on Corporate Regulations, and rough idea of what kind of threats the station will have to face and how to deal with them.

'''Round-start to-do list:''' Get your officers to report in, if they don't, remind them that the security force doesn't work without teamwork and communication, and have them demoted if they're still acting like a lone mute wolf.

'''Main tasks:''' Try to keep the crew as safe as possible. Keep your officers from degenerating to shitcurity when things get rough.

'''Main problems:''' Assistants pushing each other is '''not''' a big problem, you shouldn't have to spend much time on those. Focus on the big fish instead.

===[[File:Generic_qm.png|64px]] [[Quartermaster]]===

Authority over the supply sector, including [[Cargo Technician]]s and [[Shaft Miner]]s.

'''Required knowledge:''' Managing Cargo Tech's, how to operate the Cargo Bay.

'''Round-start to-do list:''' Check how many Cargo Tech's are on shift, get them doing something useful such as collecting crates.

'''Main tasks:''' Processing crew order requests.

'''Main problems:''' Hostile and impatient crew members, syndicate sympathizers, miners not appreciating you taking some plasma for points, inept cargo techs, miners dying in the first five minutes, lava land lizards, and Security.

==Other Management Roles==
While the following jobs have management roles, they are not Heads of Staff and get none of the perks associated with being a Head of Staff.

===[[File:Generic_warden.png|64px]] [[Warden]]===
Subordinate to the [[Head of Security]].

Authority over the brig, [[Security Officer]]s, and all personnel of equal rank and below as long as they are within the brig.

Subordinate to the [[Captain]] while he is on the station.

Depending on his rank, he may have the authority to dismiss the Captain from his position, or even outrank the Captain. Otherwise, he possesses no actual authority over anyone on station and is reliant on ingratiating himself with the command staff.

'''Required knowledge:''' The Chain of Command, knowing what your assigned task is from Central Command. Having good social skills.

'''Round-start to-do list:''' Inform the command staff of your presence.

'''Main tasks:''' Whatever Central Command assigned you.
