As a member of Nanotrasen's Emergency Response Team you are tasked with being deployed to a station in distress and attempt to bring it back to a functional status. Good luck.
Prepare To Move Out!
You will spawn in alongside your other fellow ERT team members. You will spawn as a specific role, such as Security, Medical, or Engineering. Once you've met your team and secured your ID card, move to the equipment room and gear up.
As a member of the Emergency Response Team you have access to a wide range of tools and some unique items. There are four separate roles for the ERT with unique equipment, and the equipment available to you will vary depending on your team's level of response:
- Code Blue: Light equipment. Typically code blue is reserved for calmer situations, such as conducting an investigation, diplomatic situations, or some other kind of Centcom function. Code Blue ERT does not have access to the equipment room and is being sent to the station with only what is on them when they start at Centcom.
- Code Amber: Full equipment. Your standard ERT used to mitigate or overcome emergencies. They will have access to the equipment room before they leave Centcom.
- Code Red: Elite equipment. Centcom's top-of-the-class ERT sent to the most dangerous of missions that Centcom has deemed necessary to preserve their investments. Their energy guns are replaced with military-grade pulse weapons, and several of their tools are replaced with combat variations.

Unique to the elite Medical Officer. A Combat Injector filled with 100 units of medical nanites capable of healing around 130 points of damage and curing most ailments. Very potent but limited in number, use wisely.
Your Orders
Once you've arrived on station you need to ascertain the situation and contact any heads of staff (assuming they are still alive). Preform the role your assigned to, heal people as a Medical Officer, repair damage as a Engineering Officer and arrest looters, rioters or insurgents as a Security Officer.
What to Expect
You'll likely be thrown at whatever problem is facing the station, simply man your station (Medbay, Engineering or Security) and do the best you can. Take direction from the crew as they will generally know more about the situation than you do, ultimately use your intuition to guide you.
Communication is King
Your radio has access to a unique comms channel allowing you to talk with fellow ERT members, as well as being able to talk to all station channels. Not only does this let you talk to the crew and figure out what's the problem but lets you stay in close communication with your team.
Threat Levels
As a ERT member the situations you will face will vary greatly. One mission you might be trying to salvage a station smashed by asteroids, saving the crew from a loose singularity or even a invasion of Clowns. Make sure you prepare for any eventuality, Central Command may grant your team access to heavier firepower.
The Commander
As the commander of the response team its your job to make sure your underlings are doing their job. Delegate tasks to them and ensure they are doing something productive.
