Standard Operating Procedure

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

Alert Levels

Code Green - All Clear

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

• 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 must respect the privacy of crew members and no unauthorized searches are allowed.
• Suit sensors are not required to be on.

Code Blue - Confirmed Threat

Elevated alert level. There are reports or other proof available to indicate that there is a threat to the station.

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

When a CentCom summary is received and printed at communication consoles the blue alert level is applied automatically.

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.

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.

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

In Case of:

Evacuation

• All personnel are to evacuate on the escape pods or the emergency shuttle, which CentCom sends.
• All personnel are required to assist with evacuation. All crew must be evacuated, regardless of their consciousness.
• All prisoners are to be brought to the secure area of the escape shuttle, except for prisoners who pose a severe threat.
• 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 escape shuttle for Central Command to inspect.
• Authorizing early shuttle launches is not allowed unless there is an immediate threat to shuttle integrity.

Viral Outbreak

• If severe viral strain is on board the station, the CMO is required to quarantine infected parts of the station with the help of security.
