You are the Nanotrasen Consultant onboard one of the most dangerous space station on the entire frontier.
It is your duty to ensure the stability and productivity around the Heads of Staff from the station, as well as carrying out directives from Central Command.
Command Policy
The NT Rep is, in essence, an advisor and pencil pusher. You are a representative of The Company™ and should act as professional as possible. Not only this, but your job is to observe and advise the command team, document infractions, report them to CC, and oversee demotions as needed. Your job is to hold the command team responsible for their actions, and make sure that they correct their mistakes and uphold the values of your company, but not lord over them and act as a Captain+. Keep out of affairs unless you are directly needed.
Do not try speed-running demotions or exceeding your jurisdiction. You're an observer and advisor, but the captain still holds the reins of the station itself and should be consulted as much as possible.
However, despite being an advisor, you have the capacity to help the station under extreme circumstances. Since you are working and living on the station, you should care about its wellbeing just as much as anyone else, and assist the command team in emergencies should the need arise.
In short, you’re meant to act as a check and balance to command. If the captain’s an idiot or non-conning an assistant in his office for half the round, you are to hold them accountable. Same for if security decides to violate the Geneva convention again.
Tips to Getting Started
Use your PDA to check the manifest and take note of who is command staff for this shift. Identify if they have any weaknesses or limitations that you should be aware of for oversight. If asked directly, and able, consider helping them with those limitations. It can be anything from helping a HoS unsure of regulations for a specific crime, to giving guidance to an RD or CE who has a propensity to do unorthodox experiments, or helping the heads know if they micromanage too much and need to delegate tasks out. You can always consider conducting department reviews and do a walk through a department, and ask questions if there is anything amiss or of note.
Once that's done, retain hands-off oversight of the command staff and be open towards complaints from crew. You will have to determine when and if complaints against command staff are valid, and if they merit communication with Central Command. In extreme situations ensure Central Command understands what is going on and can provide direction. Advise command staff when they get off SOP, but don't make demands unless Central Command has given a directive. If issues arise between the heads you could be a mediator to help get things to a resolution in the best interests of the station and crew. Additionally heads of staff and regular crew alike may come to you for legal matters, whether its as simple as your stamp and signature to authorize documents or as complicated as taking part in a court case.
