Standard Operating Procedure

Note: This page is merely a suggestion, much like the article concerning Space Law in general.

Alert Levels

Situation Green - All Clear

Standard operating level. No immediate or clear threat to the ship. All departments may carry out work as normal.

• Suit sensors are not required to be on.
• Weapons worn by security are to be hidden except when in the case of an emergency.
• Crew members may freely walk in the hallways.
• AI/Cyborgs have no need to bolt down any secure areas.
• Security are allowed to conduct searches of suspicious individuals without a warrant, but not random searches. The definition of "suspicious" is left to the discretion of command.

Situation Amber - Martial Law

Elevated alert level. There are reports or other proof available to indicate that there is a threat to the ship, or chaos, mutiny, or rioting are ocurring. May only be called by the Captain after a unanimous command vote. Doing so without a vote will result in demotion.

• Suit sensors are mandatory, but coordinate positions are not required.
• Security may have weapons visible.
• Random searches by security are allowed.
• AI/Cyborgs may bolt down high secure areas.
• Energy guns, laser guns and riot gear are allowed to be given out to security personnel if the HoS or Warden agree.

General Quarters - Battle Stations

Situational alert level called in the event of contact with a hostile ship.

• Suit sensors are to be turned fully on at all times.
• All personnel are to assist engineering, security, and medical staff with damage control, fending off boarders, and triage.

Code Delta - Imminent Destruction

The station's self destruct mechanism has been engaged due to overwhelming threat to the station. Martial Law is in effect.

• Suit sensors are to be turned fully on at all times.
• All orders from Heads of Staff and security must be followed, any disobedience is punishable.
• All crew members are to evacuate immediately, if possible.

Different Situations

Evacuation

• All personnel are required to assist with evacuation. All crew must be evacuated, regardless of their consciousness.
• Prisoners are to be brought to the secure area of the escape shuttle, except for prisoners who pose a severe threat.
• Uncloned bodies are to be brought back to Central Command for processing.
• AI units may be brought to Central Command on portable card devices (InteliCards) if structural failure is likely or AI units wish to leave.
• Mechs and Cyborg units are to be hauled to the escape shuttle for Central Command to inspect.
• Authorizing early pod launches is not allowed unless there is an immediate threat to shuttle integrity.

Fire and Other Environmental Hazards
