My own opinion on how to rank security officers based on tiers. F Tier: Greytider who found a baton These usually don't walk around for long since admins are usually pretty quick on the draw for these. Uses their equipment to grief people. Might even be other officers Please god don't be this tier Gets called shitcurrity (rightfully so) E Tier: The bald officer Somebody who joins the ranks without knowing anything about security. Sometimes behaves a bit like tier F due to it. Talks very little or not at all on the comms. Usually disappears and nobody will be the wiser. Uses arbitrary crimes with arbitrary sentences. The worst offenders don't listen to other security members who try to teach them how actual sentencing is done. Uses their batons on harm mode because they don't know that you can use them on help mode to just stun people Gets called shitcurrity (rightfully so, get more experience before attempting security. It's hard job that demands a lot of skill from the user. Be it mechanic wise or knowledge wise.) D Tier: The rookie Knows a bit about law and SoP. But does make mistakes Only uses the standard equipment like a baton, a taser and cuffs. Does not know how to effectively use bola's or flashbangs. Tases any "criminal" on sight. No matter the situation. Does not speak when an arrest is made or does not let the person being arrested know why they are being arrested. Uses the security comms a little. But does not respond to calls himself most of the time Forgets about perma prisoners. Or just walks into their cells without much reason. Knows about some threats. And usually does not know how to deal with them. Lets caught criminals bleed out in processing because they do not notice that the criminal is dying. Does not know what implants being offered do. Might still take them though. Or just ignore them Takes any weapon provided to them. Officers that take the big blue gun from the armory usually fall under this tier. Gets called shitcurrity (you will get better as long as you're willing to learn from mistakes) C Tier: The Regular Joe His sentencing usually are correct. But usually forgets context and keeps the stations situation out of the sentences. Example: Always gives max time even though the station is on green and the criminal did a minor crime Sometimes uses special equipment like bolas. But usually ends up misusing them (it is a learning process though!) Responds to calls but does this without telling on the comms. This usually leads to the mimes office being filled with officers to arrest one clown breaking into the place. Walks into perma to get out the perma prisoner without backup or preparation. Leading to a sad slipped officer or worse. Tases on people a bit too often. Usually it is warranted but sometimes it happens because the perp is walking away because he did not notice that the officer is arresting him. Communication is key here Knows about most threats. But does not always know how to deal with them Usually gets the criminal get medical care if they are dying Takes every implant offered to them. Regardless of the situation. Take guns when provided to them. They know what most do yet are not that experienced yet in using them. Uses the chat highlight system to ensure they do notice when people call their name. More an OOC thing but this helps you as a player so much with noticing things you should actually notice. Gets called shitcurrity B Tier: The robust officer Makes sure to sentence people with relative appropriate sentences. Lower sentences if it's calm. And higher if the crime was violent and such. Knows most things about law and SoP and how to apply them. Knows how to utilize most special equipment that security has to offer. Uses comms a lot and responds to most callouts while telling others he is going. Knows when a situation is resolved by the calls of other officers on the comms. Prepares himself either with backup or by stunning the perma prisoner if this is needed prior to escorting him to escape. Talks to criminals before arresting them. Getting their story of the case if this seems fit. Then tells them they are going to cuff them if the situation requires it. Or don't cuff them and escort them to security uncuffed. Knows how to deal with most if not all threats and does so at all times. Is robust, both in combat and in other mechanics. Knows when to retreat and when to attack. Knows what implants are good for which situation and takes them accordingly. Got clings that EMP a lot? Welp not taking the upgraded heart today. Asks for help from other departments when it is required. Also notifies the captain or HoS if things are calming down and an alert lowering can happen soon. Knows what most if not all weapons do and know how to use them in most situations. Uses the chat highlight system to ensure they do notice when people request security or a crime gets reported. More an OOC thing but this helps you as a player so much with noticing things you should actually notice. Gets called shitcurrity A Tier: The hero we deserve Lets people of the hook if the situation fits it. You don't always have to brig people for things. A warning can be enough at times. Knows law and SoP from the top of their head. When to apply them and when not. This is important especially for SoP. Is robust but knows when to use it and when not. Antags are there to make the rounds interesting. Completely shutting them down by using all the tricks you know is not fun for either side. A long battle back and forth is. Knows how to use tools outside of security if needed. Need a door hacked open? Go for it if there is no other way. This should be used sparsely if possible. Asking for help is usually the better way. Provides detailed yet short information on the comms if needed. Callouts for criminals at locations for instance. Their description and what they did. Aids other officers/crew with things. Be it learning on how to be an officer. Or by helping them get out of situations. Getting the criminal is not always the goal. Getting your coworkers out alive is. Tries to make an arrest interesting for the person being arrested. If said person is willing to RP that is. If it's just a shitter then go ahead with the max sentence. Knows all about the threats. But chooses not always to use it. See a new agent with their PDA in their hands in a locker? Just jokingly state to lock their PDA and walk away. Catching said crew member will remove an antag from the round yes. But it won't make it interesting for them or for the station. Does not always take implants if they can. Only when it is really needed. Implants will buff you and this might result in more boring fights. They should be used to make the battle more fair. Not to make you unstoppable. Talks with prisoners on downtime. Including perma prisoners. They usually did their role and made a mistake. This should not mean they should be punished for it by being put in a cell all on their own. That is boring as hell Knows what all weapons do and how to use them in all situations. Yet does not always take them. One known agent with no weapons onboard? No need for a shotgun then. Just a baton and taser will do. Gets called shitcurrity I might have forgotten a lot of things on here. Playing a security officer means you have to deal with a lot of stuff and have to keep track of a lot. Do tell if I missed some stuff and I hope you enjoyed it/found it useful!

Tier SS: you know how to kill stuff and win the game and thats what matters after all.

Also - shout out to Henk de Fries, Jean Regulier and Evie (and I'm sure there's a few more I'm forgetting) - Some of the best A-Tier security that I know. Henk especially who really came a long way on his reverse alphabet trip from F to A! :P

I think I'm a combination of B and A, but mostly B. My main problem is I don't main security, it's something I hop in when I feel like it, as I will often play detective or pod pilot. I'm rarely a security patrol officer, preferring the flexibility that pod pilot allows me. If I was going to pick out my main weakness, it's remembering the sentencing caveats of space law and such. Very much a talker though. Prefer to chat with potential crims first, very much hate the mentality of tasering first and questions later. There are exceptions to this; dangerous EoC's that are obviously not going to sit and chat with you, and in those situations, shooting first is your best best. Also surprised the highlight string didn't get a mention in any of the tiers (mainly the upper ones). I deem the chat highlight function to be essential on a high pop round. Anytime I'm going poddy/detective, I'll put keywords like 'detective pod pilot security hos Head Security help death alarm' and vice versa in there because the chat does be whizzing by and it really helps filter out the noise. Also if you know what kind of antags you are dealing with, putting them in the string helps!

Name of Event:Lavaland Xenobiology One Sentence Description:The creation of a small fully upgraded xenobiology lab in lavaland that allows for people observing to play around with xenobiology and have small interactions with the crew via trading or other means Map Changes: no Code Changes: No Suggested Number of Players:4-6 Full Description of Event:This event is quite simple. it just requires the creation of a xenobiolab in lavaland and a set of slime people scientists that ghosts can be put in control of. The machinery will all be fully upgraded and there will be a supply of monkey cubes for the players. This event will be very reminiscent of other spawners allowing new players to try it out and older players to experiment with ideas. I suggest this laboratory have some supply of kinetic accelerators or other security measure to ensure they are not easily attacked by nearby lavaland fauna. They should also require a fax machine for this event so that they may make requests for extra supplies. It has also been suggested to me by norwest that this can be made into a syndicate spawner using the old lavaland syndicate base with the turbine removed to make room for a new xenobiology area instead with a patrolling sentry around to protect the base. This spawner would be a good little event to allow people to play with xenobiology and be able to interact with others. It could also set the framework for a xenobiology spawner.

Name: Brent Savoir - Gentleman Detetive Age: 52 Gender: Male Race: Human General Occupational Role(s): Looking for new jobs, Tourist (Special title Gentleman Detective or The Gentleman Detective). Appearance: A man in his late forties, yet there is something ageless about him. A curious glint in his eyes reveal his massive intellect and his well trimmed moustache reveals his great sense of style. He speaks with a posh accent and is clearly of the upper class. Rarely seen without his walking cane, monacle and smoking pipe. Biography: Parts of chapters taken from " My life as a Gentleman Detective" by Brent Savoir - Gentleman Detective. Chapter 1, The birth of a Detective by Brent Savoir - Gentleman Detective On a dark December day, from the house of a noble family in the glorious Empire of Space Britain, the cry of a baby could be heard. Such a beautiful and rich voice had seldom been heard in all of the Empire. The proud mother and father held the child aloft and beamed of pride. "He shall be named Brent Savoir, and he shall become a Gentleman Detective, just like his father." said Burt Savoir - Gentleman Detective. Chapter 45, The first case of the Gentleman Detective. And thusly I had exposed my neighbour's dog as the actual thief of the prize ham hock my mother had made and not the poor homeless man at the end of the street. I had learned a big lesson. A gentleman is only as good as hist word! Chapter 163, Protecting my marbles from the Schoolyard Bully As I dodged the first blow of the schoolyard bully, I had estimated his reach well. His fist missed me with the breadth of a hair. My counter punch to the side of his jaw sent him sprawling on the gravelly schoolyard. Since that day no one tried to steal my marbles again. A year later, I was the marble champion. Chapter 554, The Vox Assasination plot thwarted by Brent Savoir - Gentleman Detective Our eyes met and our souls connected as the vox was screaming in pain from the bullet shot by the duke's assassin. I knew then that me and Lady Woolworth, although so completely different because her family supported the prince instead of the queen, would always be connected. However, I did not know that destiny and circumstance would always push us apart. Our moments together would always be fleeting but oh so sweet. Chapter 2036, The cowardly escape and hidingplace of Roger Foulmoore "My hiding place shall be a space station so infested with crime and incompetence that you will see my subtle hand behind everything even though I won't be responsible. These people will break you and turn you from a Gentleman, into a ruffian like me. Good luck Brent Savoir - Gentleman Detective". The note was unmistakably written by Roger Foulmoore. Besides the almost illegible handwriting, the sign of an uncultured boob, there was also the stench of his pomade and the grease he used to shine his hair soaking the parchment. I knew of the station he spoke of. The Cyberriad. I shall go there. I shall find him. I shall bring him to justice. My Qualifications, By Brent Savoir - Gentleman Detective The etiquette and poise of a True Gentleman of Space Britain. Master of deduction. Encyclopedic knowledge of criminals, crime and it's execution. All encompassing memory where no fact escapes. Keen senses that misses no clue. Master boxer, fencer and lover. Famous writer of adventure and mystery novels featuring Brent Savoir - Gentleman Detective. Notes on Mr. Savoir. Helen Partridge, Nanotrasen Security. I can't make up my mind if this is the smartest man in the galaxy or a completely lunatic. Since I was a kid I've been reading the books about his escapades and having a chance to meet the man before he is allowed aboard a Nanotrasen vessel was a chance I couldn't refuse. He is clearly a man of mystery and has somehow managed to build his own legend. When he introduces himself, it's as if he's expecting you to know who he is. He also really likes the sound of his own name, since he keeps repeating it every chance he gets. All his books seemed based on truth with a little extra spice of storytelling but after meeting him I'm not certain what I believe. Maybe it's all true, maybe it's not. Speaking to him only makes you even more confused. He is a true man of mystery with a lot of stories to share. Nobody could fault his manners. Polite, punctual and with a certain British charm, he is quite the treat to talk to. I do approve of his stay at the Cyberriad. Even if he doesn't find this "arch-criminal" that he's searching for, I'm sure he will be entertaining to the crew and the other tourists.

Here is one of the first "good" Brent Savoir stories I wrote for his regular newschannel "The Curious Cases of Brent Savoir". It's formatted so that each part will fit inside one newscaster article. If you want you can upload it into your newscaster channel to spice it up! I know it looks massive, but if you get people to read it in parts, it's quite digestable. Saving the Kings Bacon pt. 1 "BRENT! BRENT!" The king, himself crashed into my bedroom while I was taking my morning tea. I had been invited as a guest for his grand celebration of the unveiling of his portrait made by the famous lady Elsa Woolworth. Astute readers will recognize Lady Woolworth as a recurring character of my adventures. She often appears in my stories, for she often appears in my thoughts, but why that is, is for another time. After speaking to the king, it appeared that his prize pig, Jocelyn, had escaped the pen under mysterious circumstances. As the whole kingdom of space Britain knows, the King is a big fan of bacon and that is why his pigs are such prized possessions. Jocelyn was of great stock, a sturdy sow with a jolly demeanor. Giving the pig pen a careful study I came upon something strange. A note that said: "Can you solve the case of the stolen bacon, Brent Savoir - Gentleman Detective?" Saving the Kings Bacon pt. 2 The King was in an uproar. On this auspicious day his prize pig had been stolen. I worried little, for I was a gentleman of the upper class and my massive intellect had already begin to process this magnificent mystery. A personal note to me would indicate a kidnapper with knowledge of my presence, my skill and with the brass bollocks to steal the kings prized pig. The possibilities ran through my mind like waterdrops down a waterfall. Whatever trajectory their path started on, they all landed on the same suspect. Roger Foulmoore. My arch-nemesis. One of the greatest master criminals known to this universe. If anyone would steal the Kings prize pig and get away with it, it was him. Pondering my next move I journeyed to the castle library for some meditation. The guard infront of the library asked me to show some for of ID. I handed over my business card which says "Brent Savoir - Gentleman Detective". Saving the Kings Bacon pt. 3 This case was a strange on indeed. A missing pig. An empty pen. No clues besides a note left by Roger Foulmoore, the scummiest of all scum. However, knowing mr Foulmoore did this was enough for me. I had been suspecting he would try something during the kings celebration, but never something as bald faced daring as this. Because of my suspiciouns, I had carefully studied all the castle personnel beforehand. None of them had raised my suspiciouns before, meaning the culprit, who must have had free access to the castle, must be a guest. Receiving the guestlist from the kings Seneschal, Rhubart Rutabaga, I went through the names one by one, meeting each guest. The one name that stood out to me however was Regor Mummyson. It was rumored he was an eccentric who always wrapped himself in cloth, like a mummy. Perhaps a strange turn of his mind or perhaps a devious disguise by a criminal mastermind. Knocking on his door I called out "Brent Savoir - Gentleman Detective" Saving the Kings Bacon pt. 4 A man opened, all dressed in rags. I reached out my hand for a manly handshake which he accepted. Little did he know that I was feeling his right hand for Foulmoores signature ring and just like I thought, on his right ringfinger there was a ring easily felt through the cloth. I smiled and started chatting as if I was a friend but my true purpose was scanning the room after the hidingplace of the prized pig. A sack, hanging from the ceiling, wriggling with something pig sized inside was all the proof I needed. "Whats in that sack" I asked and pointed with my oaken cane at the sack. Knowing he had been caught and trying to stall for time, he moved towards the window where the rope holding the sack was tied. I called out for him to stop, but he revealed his true purpose as he rushed towards the rope, pulling a knife and sliced it with a deft stroke. I could hear Jocelyn the pig squeal as she was falling from the ceiling. The only one who could save her was Brent Savoir - Gentleman Detective. Saving the Kings Bacon pt. 5 My brain, thinking faster than it ever has before, realized as the pig had yet to start fall, that I could never catch it without being crushed under it's weight. However, next to me was one of the kings fluffiest ottomans. With a firm kick I sent it sliding over the floor, with the heavy pig crashing into it from above. Foulmore had removed his bandage and his evil eyes was staring at me again, knowing I had once again bested him. Readying my cane for a duel, I moved in close but the scoundrel leaped out the window. I would have given chase, if it wasn't for Jocelyn who may have been hurt. I could hear Foulmoore cursing my name as he made his escape. Jocelyn was safe, the King soon arrived and as a reward he offered me the old mansion on Coventgarden. I accepted, knowing he would be displeased if I said no. A year later I had placed my placard on the mansion door. It read "Brent Savoir - Gentleman Detective"

1. Here to teach you lot how to dance real smooth.

This is an awesome and well written guide. Dan approves

The shotgun is the superior law enforcement weapon.

You mfs talk flaming shit within my baton range actually has lore below, not just meme She likes to keep her PDA strapped to her right upper arm and wear a black security coat instead of the jacket. Also the radios are clipped to the back of her ear, not too tight though. Her rank is Cpl (Corporal) and wears three ribbons on her coat: Cyberiad Magnificent Medical Medal (ICly cannon, thanks Sophie/Edroy), Dagon special operations service ribbon (one of the 4 expedition operative to make a landfall onto a rogue planet), Nanotrasen Service Medal (every single nukies round I immediately join sec force and help command out, I assume she'd get an award for at least getting captain out of a sieged bridge at least twice). Realistically she has NSS Cyberiad and NDV Dagon (NDV because NTSS is the retired version of Dagon) service ribbon or whatever every crew/sec has when you serve on them, but she probably snatched one from NRS Orion too since Dagon practically orbits around the communication array.) Helka and Velklana version will come with some lore.

S tier - uses the shotgun you know why? Cos it's quick, clean and effective as fuck. Why would i fuck around with the shitty hybrid tas-

I did this with xenoarchaeology now and then, hiding artifacts (lesser known items) in walls with an absolute SHIIIIIT ton of gibtonite to be careful about. You'd think it do better with xenobiology--and for ghosts to do this?

I've been collecting screenshots of the wire arts I've made over the years. I'll share some of my favourites here. Feel free to share yours too!

Not my wireart, but the madman who plays Jaiden Baer made this and it caught my eye immediately
