Code Red - Immediate Threat

Maximum alert level. There is an immediate threat to the station or severe damage. Martial Law is in effect.

• Security can raid departments and arrest any crew member deemed a threat to the station.
• All crew members must remain in their departments.
• Suit sensors are to be turned fully on at all times.
• AI/Cyborgs may bolt down maintenance and airlocks leading to space.
