The Auxiliary Support Officer

You are the Auxiliary Support officer. Your job as the Auxiliary support officer is to coordinate between the different auxiliary departments to maintain direct and active support of main combat personnel. If there is no Commanding Officer or Executive Officer around, you are next in the chain of command of the Marines. As the Support Officer, you are not allowed to deploy groundside to assist with the FOB construction or defense unless a nuclear device has been deployed.

Hangar Crew

The Pilot Officers, and Dropship Crew Chiefs manage the flight of the two dropships in the hangar bays. Depending on who may have woken up, you may be asked to assist them with printing and attaching of dropship parts or asked to fly one of the dropships if nobody else is available to do so, although it is more likely you may be tasked with enabling the autopilot.

Intel

The Intelligence Officers manage the collection and processing of data. You may be asked by Intel officers to take any crates filled with info to the processing room, be asked to sort through it, or asked to take any alien/marine corpses up to Research for processing by them. Additionally, an overwatch console exists in the intelligence room for your usage - so that you may watch them and ensure they don't die.

Engineering

The Chief Engineer and Maintenance Technicians are in charge of maintaining the ship, including repairs, loading the orbital cannon, setting the anti-air countermeasures, and ensuring the reactors run smoothly and power flows throughout the ship. If there is an Auxiliary Support Officer, Maintenance Technicians and the Chief Engineer may deploy freely. There should always be a member of the Engineering crew or the Auxiliary Support Officer on the Almayer at all times.

Requisitions

Requisitions, alongside the Quartermaster and the Cargo Technicians within it, is in charge of supplying the marines with equipment, ammo, and materials. You may be asked to assist with bringing crates back to the Requisitions bay, or to ensure that needed supply crates are sent if requisitions is overloaded with requests from marines or if nobody has woken up. Additionally, some scrupulous Quartermasters may begin purchasing illegal goods - and it is your job to ensure that whatever happens does not infringe on the ability for marines to run the operation.

Abilities: Orders

Orders are a timed active ability that characters trained in leadership can activate. The duration of the ability is related to how high the characters leadership skill is, an example being that the Commanding Officers order will last longer then a squad leads. The intensification of the ability is also determined by the leadership skill, the higher it is the more intense the orders effects are on surrounding players. Note that these abilities do not stack and that the abilities cover your visual view range and no further.

Orders:	Description:
Move!	Increased mobility and chance to dodge projectiles.
Hold!	Increased resistance to pain and combat wounds.
Focus!	Increased gun accuracy and effective range.
