What do you wear on you noggin while goose-stepping down the Cyberiad's halls? I, for one, wear the Civilian beret, black variant. HoS beret with the badge is for newbs. Also, @saywat_the_15th Corp caps are the worst.

Perhaps the removal of the Armor, and maybe the sword, would be appropriate.

Xeno-purging Inquisitor role when?

@ZN23X I suppose that is an acceptable alternative, but only if you can get the Captain to empty their account for sec to buy goodies. They're taking up limited, expensive brig space, after all.

Just cremate all antags. Don't Morgue. Don't borg. No cloning. No hacking. No fun allowed.

NT Internal Intelligence Report- Confidential At 1924 local time, an unidentified ship docked with a maintenance port on the low-security NT Employee Transit Hub in Epsilon Indi. At 1932 Quinton H. Sommer disembarked from a shuttle from the Trurl and began travelling to the Starboard Dock to board a shuttle home to Indus Beta. Upon checking out at the security desk, he entered a rarely frequented corridor in order to avoid the slow moving crowd in the main promenade. Cameras show a group of three male Humans and one female Tajara entering shortly thereafter. They were not checked in, had no IDs, and as of yet are unidentified. They were not seen again on cameras. 7 minutes later, the unidentified ship left, using an unregistered, untraceable bluespace engine. A thorough search of the station and surrounding space yielded no results. The Company expects foul play, but there have been no ransom demands or claims of responsibility. Internal Affairs has suggested this was a political snatch operation, tying back to Mr. Sommer's checkered past on his homeworld. Investigation is ongoing, but nothing within our sphere of influence has produced any leads yet. SolGov was contacted, we have not received any updates.

Considering NT is a company and would probably transfer terrorists/murders/etc from each shift to a Sol Gov prison so as to not have the cost of running a literal on-site penitentiary, I think this would be a bit silly from an IC perspective. However, if someone could revive the mythical Prison Station, that might make a nice event now and again.

I'll miss them, despite being a filthy xeno. Also: Bill the Anti-ERP walrus.

I'm going to pull a r/ss13 and blame Fox McCloud

Quinton twitches his mustache and surveys the articles strewn about the hall by a mime-masked Alissa. Spoken almost as a sigh, he states the obvious: "I did not marry a normal person."

Local official uses wrong radio channel, leading to a loss of face; 2561, colorised And I just realized I should have used "bare" instead.

This was taken after you had to address the Captain's unexpected sojourn to space and subsequent gibbing by @Xantholne(?).

No bureaucrat is complete without Victorian level class! But why have that much style without a tea party to show it off at?

What went through Zeke's head when I found him in a tunnel, stolen baton one hand, half-armed pizza bomb in the other?

@necaladun Anything gonna come of this? If we're going with the idea of a two-ID swipe, admin-approved, martial law, some nerd has best put up a PR for it.

Note @necaladun's proposal to make calling red require two IDs + an admin approval, like an ERT.

And that's what new Red will allow for essentially. Sound good?

I have no problems with that. It is not like the Code Red we are used to, so for there to be a tad more precautions makes sense. I just don't want it to the mythical Code Gamma that I have seen called 4 times in my roughly two and a half years here- three of which were for a blob and the other one being @Fruerlund's meteor event. We see it is almost never called to counteract the breakdown of social order it is really meant to serve as when you say "marital law".

Think of it this way: Sec will be held to the same vigorous standard as before, but there's actually a reason why they need to be policed as hard as they do. And I think a lot of security players do not get burned out because they are held to a standard, they're disheartened that it's such an insanely different standard than the tide with no rewarding IC reparations. In recent months, mind you, admins have been a bit more relaxed in that department- letting a few harmbatons slide if the victim is really a turd, but there's still the issue of going through hell and back to arrest the assistant who broke on to the bridge on red so they can SSD immediately upon capture(or they'll break the windows while sec tries to get the antag the tider distracted them from to begin with). As you well should, seeing as sec has been perpetually staffed by noobs. I do sympathize though, being a HOS main. There is an issue with the Captain/Security power dynamic, and that needs to be addressed. I am open to any suggestion you might have to help the Captain keep Security on a tighter leash.

@Saul Argon Yes, there is a problem with the average Security goon being played by a newbie. Yes, there will be abuse resulting from a weapons-free IC policy. However, the security regulars will never be more than a tiny cadre unless the tide is brought to heel. And any shitsec will last much less longer as we get more admins to keep things from devolving into a complete mess.

Yes, it will be gamma. Yes, it will be without prior admin approval. However, there is still the threat of admin intervention if abused. (And there will be plenty of admins with apps coming up). And as the traditional red procedures are still under red, you can still up your game without going Judge Dredd. Lastly, if you do not want security neutralizing any threat with extreme force, don't call the new red, call Blue(old red)

Yeah, I think we should bug @Shadeykins to get some secrit club lore so people can RP it, but it should not be mechanical.

@SigholtStarsong Blue is a cool, sterile color, perhaps indicative of: "Hey, things are not all rainbows and puppies; I should be careful."
