=Overview=
=Overview=
As a Military Police Officer, your primary duty is to maintain law and order on board the Almayer. This doesn't mean going around stunning all the Marines because you saw them hold a gun, this means you respect [[Marine Law]]!


Enforcing Marine Law may be a hard task due to Marines being armed with guns, but - if you need it - your riot suit soaks up bullets like a sponge. Still, it shouldn't be worn unless necessary. MPs start the round equipped with a flash, taser, stun baton, and some handcuffs. MPs may '''never''' use lethal force.
''DISCLAIMER: Keep in Mind that both [[Marine Law]], [[Rules|Server Rules]], [[Rank]] occasionally change, meaning parts of this guide can then be out of date. If this guide ever contradicts what is being said in one of those three pages, notify the Wiki Maintainer and follow what is said in those pages.''
 
 
As a '''Military Police Officer''', your primary duty is '''to obey and enforce [[Marine Law]]'''.
 
MPs are held to a very high standard of conduct because you are the source of in-character discipline as well as the server's first line of defense against out-of-character infractions. You are bound to Marine Law as Server Rules meaning if you break any laws in Marine Law you risk being punished outside of "In Character", meaning you may be Job banned or even outright banned due to your actions.
 
Enforcing Marine Law may be a hard task due to Marines being up to no good and refusing to come quietly. But fear not, you are equipped with state of the art Non-Lethal Weaponry that can keep a marine down for the time you need to get them cuffed and transported to the brig.
 
When it comes to Marine Law matters, you are always to listen to the CMP above all else as long as it does not interfere with Marine Law or Server Rules. The only one higher than the CMP in marine law is the CO and High Command. If you are ever in doubt, Ahelp the Situation and Ask before proceeding. This can save a lot of hassle and is a good tip you should keep in mind. You should never act against the Commanding Officer or Chief MP without a very good IC reason. Your job is to keep the ship safe and enforce marine law.
 
'''Unless Authorized by the CMP or aCO you are NEVER to use lethal force against a Suspect.''' - See [[Marine Law]] for more information.
 
=Patrolling & Investigations=
When beginning your shift, your first task is generally to get geared up and report to the checkpoints, req or briefing as per your CMP's orders. The briefing can be a delicate time and can get out of hand very quickly, be diplomatic, and always remember you are outnumbered.
Once the marines have gone down it's time to patrol the ship unless told otherwise, check all rooms of the ship you never know what you might find or who you might find.
 
==Access Privileges==
As MP you have access to most places onboard the ship, but there are certain places you do not have access to such as Research. This is for various reasons such as gameplay, but if you have a proper RP reason you may request the Commander to give you access to the specific area that is needed from the ID Computer in CiC or Briefing if it is for an extended amount of time such as to be stationed as a guard by the Containment cells in Research.
 
If it is just a search on a person or area, follow the procedure listed in Marine Law here: [[Marine_Law#Search_Procedure|Search Procedure]]
 
Due to MP's having access to almost all places onboard the ship you will often be called to help out CT's, Doctors, or OT's even for various reasons, but make sure you always prioritize between requests. A doctor that needs access to a prep room since a marine has died there comes before an OT needing access to fix a light another place.
 
List of Areas MP's can't access:
* Any specialized prep room (Spec, engineer, medic, smartgunner and squad leader.)
* Research
* Chemistry
* Nurse Office
* Telecommunications
* COs Office and Quarters
* XOs Quarters
 
=Application of the law=
 
== Prisoners ==
[[Marine_Law#Detainment_and_Brig_Procedures|Detainment and Brig Procedures]] should always be followed meaning you do every step as stated in no particular order. If a prisoner harms himself or tries to break the window, you can temporarily cuff him to the bed, run to Perma and grab a Straightjacket. The Straightjacket will remain on for the duration of the timer until the prisoner is released.
 
As a Military Police Officer, you are assigned to the protection of USCM prisoners as well as POW (Prisoners of War) held in the Brig. Remember, you're not a 'no-mercy' type of officer from the early wars and should treat Prisoners by Marine Law.
 
Once a prisoner is appropriately sentenced you are to make sure they are provided their [[Marine Law#Prisoner Rights| basic rights]] which CANNOT be denied, such as Medical treatment, food, etc ... except for in extreme situations with approval from the Chief Military Police Officer or the Commanding Officer.
 
=== NJP's ===
[[Marine Law#Non-Judicial Punishments (NJPs)|NJPs]] As per Marine Law; are one-time offers for crimes with a sentence equal to or lower than 10 minutes, the arresting MP, Chief MP or the Commanding Officer may administer a Non-Judicial Punishment instead of a brig sentence. NJPs may only be issued to those they outrank. You must still update the records. If the NJP is refused Prisoners serve their original sentence or 10 minutes if none exists
 
NJPs can be offered to prisoners in the Brig as long as they were not offered one prior to being Incarcerated on the same charge(s). This offer after being Incarcerated can be prohibited on a case by case basis by those higher on the MP CoC. MP < Warden < CMP < CO.
 
If they accept but do not comply with the NJP, you may add an Resisting Arrest charge to the sentence; Failing to complete the NJP is not Failure to comply with it as long as a legitimate attempt was made. NJPs can not last longer than 10 minutes. And if given to a Prisoner in the Brig can not last longer than the time remaining on their Brig timer.
 
Possible NJP suggestions:
* Clean up briefing/req/lounge
* Mopping floors
* Push-ups or laps
* Writing an apology letter
 
==Survivors==
You may not always be informed when someone comes aboard, but when found or informed this can be a good outline of things you should do to cover your bases.  <br />1. Secure any weapons. This is preferably done in the brig or another secure area. Ensure all bags, belts, boots and any other container on their persons is checked for items in contravention of current [[Marine Law]] <br />2. If done in the brig you can do a quick scan of them in the brig medbay if they weren't first checked out or treated when they arrived. <br />3. Update their ID to colonist or passenger at the ID computer in the CIC or the one near briefing. In addition to this, survivors can also be enlisted into the USCM as a private, with the permission of the Commanding Officer. Once completed you can print the access report for the CMP or use it for the next step. <br />4. Add the survivor to the ship security records and '''optionally''' remove their gloves and take prints from the survivor with a forensic scanner for future investigations. Take a photo of their front-facing and side facing sprite to also add to the records. <br />5. The CL, CO, CMP or researcher may want to RP with them. Contact them! <br/>5. If the Commander/Duty Officer allows them to assume a role in one of the departments, you can update the ID to reflect the change.
* Armed survivors in the CIC is a big danger to the command staff and operations; they should be intercepted before they can gain access.
* Colonial Marshals are not from the Provost office and do not receive immunity. Ahelp when unsure!
* Survivors cannot keep their weapons while on the ship whilst not at a red alert level.
* You cannot take fingerprints from someone wearing gloves.
 
== Updating ID's or demotions ==
To demote or add someone to the crew. Try to use the ID they are wearing as opposed to creating a new ID from a blank card. <br />1. Take their ID and enter it into the Target Identity slot on the ID computer<br />2. Enter your ID into the Authorized Identify slot<br />3. Under the assignment section, you can set someone to a job, and it will automatically assign the appropriate privileges to the ID or remove them in a demotion. <br/>4. Alternatively, you can manually change accesses by adding or subtracting areas of access.
* If you do not change the assignment or use a custom assignment on a colonist ID they will continue to display a [[File:Unknown.png]] on the security HUD
* ID cards without "USS Almayer Identification" checked will detonate claymores and be engaged by sentries. It must always be checked on friendlies!
* Survivors cannot be given, police, command roles or assignments in departments they don't have skills in.
* Custom roles can be assigned such as Janitor, Pastor, Chef, Receptionist, etc..
* All assignments need to have permission from the Head of Department or the Commander/Duty Officer.
 
=Your Workspace=
The Brig is located West (fore) of CIC and can be accessed either through the CIC Hallways, or the general access doors on each side.
 
 
[[File:Brig map.png]]
 
 
 
The Brig is likely where you will spend a lot of time as MP. Both Chief MP's office and the Warden's office is to the south (or port), and to the east  (or aft) of the courtyard.  They both contain a, records console, a camera console, and a brig specific camera console. They both have personal bunks attached, and additionally the Chief MP's Bunk has a personal fax machine. The Warden's office also has the shutter controls for cells and the courtyard as well as lockdown buttons for the courtyard and the Brig as a whole.
 
The south (or port) of the Brig is the main detainment area. It contains the Brig cells with timers and wall mounted flashes, and the lockers with prisoner gear intended to be switched for the cell occupant's possessions, and the courtyard which has an attached bathroom and hydroponics area.
 
In the middle (or the centerline of the ship) of the Brig: you will find the processing area which contains the JAS consoles, security record consoles, crew monitor, as well as the identification computer. Brig and courtyard lockdown buttons are also present here. A holding cell for securing detainees being processed. There is also the attached Brig medical area, and the evidence storage room.
 
The north (or starboard) of the Brig has an interrogation room, the Brig armory; containing lethal weapons for ship defense or other code red threats and riot gear and non-lethal weapons for unruly marines, the equipment room; in which you will find all the vendors needed to outfit an MP for shipside patrol, a Brig cryo bay and a break room.
 
And finally, the west (or fore) of the Brig is the permanent detainment area and execution room.
 
The execution room is where the executions usually should happen. It contains a single chair for the unlucky person that will have their life ended and in the attached storage room: a blindfold, pack of cigarettes and a lighter, a lethal Injection locker containing syringes with a cocktail of dangerous drugs. and a firearms locker. For the procedure of Execution, please see [[Marine_Law#Executions|Marine Law - Executions]].
 
The Perma cells come with additional blast shields, and a Lockdown button unique to the permanent detainment area. Also found here are two additional lockers one containing additional prison garb, and the other containing straight jackets and muzzles for unruly prisoners.
===Armory and Equipment Room===
 
The Armory and Equipment Room, located on the starboard side of Brig. The lockers in the armory are bulletproof and only open on Red Alert, but can be opened manually by the CMP, Warden, SEA, ASO, XO or CO.

=Your Tools =
Being an MP is not an easy job. You are responsible for the security and law of the ship. Luckily, you have plenty of tools at your disposal to help you fulfil your duties.
 
*'''The Fax Machine:''' This is used for contacting Provost and High Command. Primarily used to ask permission to remove the acting Commanding Officer from their position, it may also be used to inform Provost of unusual circumstances and receive instructions on how to proceed and when in doubt of the CMP's action you can report it through the fax machine. Make sure you send a properly formatted Fax. It makes it both easier to read and looks more quite a lot more professional. You can find the proper format to use and a lot of other goodies in our [[Guide_to_Paperwork|Paperwork Guide]].
 
* '''The Records Console:''' You can find this console in the Brig processing areas, at security checkpoints, and both the Warden's and CMP's office. It is used to review and update records and as such is one of your most essential tools. Use it to make sure people have their status (suspect, njp, arrest, released, incarcerated, or none) as well as any crimes they may have committed up to date. Status and comments may also be edited by examining someone if you have a Security HUD on. To identify fingerprints found on your forensic scanner, click the console with your scanner in hand to place it in, and then print out the results.
 
* '''The Camera Console:''' There's one of these in the brig and a few more scattered around the ship in checkpoints and other workstations. The Console allows you to see through any camera in the USS Almayer, and it's useful to find or follow fleeing suspects as well as to keep an eye on shipside operations.
 
*'''Recharger:''' There is five in the Brig and a few in Medbay. They can charge up stuff that runs on electricity. Some of the Equipment it can charge is: Disabler, Stun baton.
 
*'''Pepper spray refiller:''' Located in the Brig Equipment room as well as the processing area near the holding cell, can be used to refill pepper spray.
 
*'''Security HUD-Glasses:''' Wearing these glasses will show jobs onboard the Almayer, someone not on the crew-list or not wearing ID.<br />[[File:Unknown.png]] Unknown - They are not wearing their ID<br /> [[File:Suspect.png]] Suspect - Examine their record or ask the MP net why they are suspected of a crime. <br /> [[File:NJP.png]] NJP - They have committed a minor crime but are being forced to do punishment tasks that do not involve an arrest.<br /> [[File:Wanted.png]] Arrest - Examine their record or ask the MP net which crimes they are wanted for.<br /> [[File:Incarcerated.png]] Incarcerated - Outside of Brig this can be an indication of a prisoner that has broken out, call this in and check it out!<br />[[File:Released.png]] Released - Keep an eye on these in case they continue their mischief.
*'''MP tools:''' You have access to a variety of items such as flashes, handcuffs, and tasers to help you control and subdue hostiles.

=The MPs and Server Rules=
{| style="border: 2px solid black; class="mw-collapsible"
MPs are held to a very high standard of conduct because they are the source of in-character discipline aboard the Almayer and the server's first line of defense against out-of-character infractions. MPs should become familiar with the [http://colonial-marines.com/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=5094 server rules]. Some of these rules are specifically applicable to MPs.

Click and drag the item onto the evidence bag to place the item into the evidence bag. Once that's done place it in the gun cabinet as it's your most secure area in the Mp office, or if it's a current ongoing investigation leave it out on the centre table so that the other Mp's can look at it. Generally if you manage to get fingerprints from your perp you'll also want to store those as well.

=Current Marine Laws=
A new helpful tool has been installed in the brig, the ever fine Jurisdictional Management System. You may be asking yourself, how do I use this machine? It is all quite simple, and by following this easy guide you will master it.  
All brig times are gauged with this Marine Law guide. Disregarding it can result in a job ban. The arresting Marine determines the punishment, ranging from Minimum to Maximum. MPs should work to minimize excessive punishments and ensure that the severity of the punishment fits the crime.


'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 90 minutes (this should probably read "60", because the timer on cells in the brig only go to 60, and any sentence over 60 minutes can result in execution, per the next section), the Commander can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.
'''Firstly''', open the machine by clicking on it.

'''Lastly''', hit Export Incident and a piece of paper will pop out. Grab the paper and bring it over to any of the Brig Cell Displays on the wall adjacent to the sliding glass doors south of you. Insert the paper into the display, select the report, and then start the timer.  


Executions are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment.  Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, the commander can authorize an execution if they believe that the prisoner will re-offend or is/will be a danger to the crew or ship.
CONGRATULATIONS, now you know how to use the Jurisdictional Automated System.


Only the Commander (or acting Commander) may authorize executions.  If they decide an execution is necessary, the follow procedure must be followed:


# The Commander must make a ship-wide announcement from the bridge communication console, informing the crew of the intent to execute and why. (Example:  "I, Commander Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship.  He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.")
=Your Skillset=
# The commander must declare the method of execution used from the following:<small>

In addition, you are tasked with the security of high-ranking personnel, including the command staff. Keep them safe!
|__________|


"The difference between a normal policeman and a military policeman, is that a military policeman deals with trained killers" - Anonymous.


Overview

DISCLAIMER: Keep in Mind that both Marine Law, Server Rules, Rank occasionally change, meaning parts of this guide can then be out of date. If this guide ever contradicts what is being said in one of those three pages, notify the Wiki Maintainer and follow what is said in those pages.


As a Military Police Officer, your primary duty is to obey and enforce Marine Law.

MPs are held to a very high standard of conduct because you are the source of in-character discipline as well as the server's first line of defense against out-of-character infractions. You are bound to Marine Law as Server Rules meaning if you break any laws in Marine Law you risk being punished outside of "In Character", meaning you may be Job banned or even outright banned due to your actions.

Enforcing Marine Law may be a hard task due to Marines being up to no good and refusing to come quietly. But fear not, you are equipped with state of the art Non-Lethal Weaponry that can keep a marine down for the time you need to get them cuffed and transported to the brig.

When it comes to Marine Law matters, you are always to listen to the CMP above all else as long as it does not interfere with Marine Law or Server Rules. The only one higher than the CMP in marine law is the CO and High Command. If you are ever in doubt, Ahelp the Situation and Ask before proceeding. This can save a lot of hassle and is a good tip you should keep in mind. You should never act against the Commanding Officer or Chief MP without a very good IC reason. Your job is to keep the ship safe and enforce marine law.

Unless Authorized by the CMP or aCO you are NEVER to use lethal force against a Suspect. - See Marine Law for more information.

Patrolling & Investigations

When beginning your shift, your first task is generally to get geared up and report to the checkpoints, req or briefing as per your CMP's orders. The briefing can be a delicate time and can get out of hand very quickly, be diplomatic, and always remember you are outnumbered. Once the marines have gone down it's time to patrol the ship unless told otherwise, check all rooms of the ship you never know what you might find or who you might find.

Access Privileges

As MP you have access to most places onboard the ship, but there are certain places you do not have access to such as Research. This is for various reasons such as gameplay, but if you have a proper RP reason you may request the Commander to give you access to the specific area that is needed from the ID Computer in CiC or Briefing if it is for an extended amount of time such as to be stationed as a guard by the Containment cells in Research.

If it is just a search on a person or area, follow the procedure listed in Marine Law here: Search Procedure

Due to MP's having access to almost all places onboard the ship you will often be called to help out CT's, Doctors, or OT's even for various reasons, but make sure you always prioritize between requests. A doctor that needs access to a prep room since a marine has died there comes before an OT needing access to fix a light another place.

List of Areas MP's can't access:

  • Any specialized prep room (Spec, engineer, medic, smartgunner and squad leader.)
  • Research
  • Chemistry
  • Nurse Office
  • Telecommunications
  • COs Office and Quarters
  • XOs Quarters

Application of the law

Prisoners

Detainment and Brig Procedures should always be followed meaning you do every step as stated in no particular order. If a prisoner harms himself or tries to break the window, you can temporarily cuff him to the bed, run to Perma and grab a Straightjacket. The Straightjacket will remain on for the duration of the timer until the prisoner is released.

As a Military Police Officer, you are assigned to the protection of USCM prisoners as well as POW (Prisoners of War) held in the Brig. Remember, you're not a 'no-mercy' type of officer from the early wars and should treat Prisoners by Marine Law.

Once a prisoner is appropriately sentenced you are to make sure they are provided their basic rights which CANNOT be denied, such as Medical treatment, food, etc ... except for in extreme situations with approval from the Chief Military Police Officer or the Commanding Officer.

NJP's

NJPs As per Marine Law; are one-time offers for crimes with a sentence equal to or lower than 10 minutes, the arresting MP, Chief MP or the Commanding Officer may administer a Non-Judicial Punishment instead of a brig sentence. NJPs may only be issued to those they outrank. You must still update the records. If the NJP is refused Prisoners serve their original sentence or 10 minutes if none exists

NJPs can be offered to prisoners in the Brig as long as they were not offered one prior to being Incarcerated on the same charge(s). This offer after being Incarcerated can be prohibited on a case by case basis by those higher on the MP CoC. MP < Warden < CMP < CO.

If they accept but do not comply with the NJP, you may add an Resisting Arrest charge to the sentence; Failing to complete the NJP is not Failure to comply with it as long as a legitimate attempt was made. NJPs can not last longer than 10 minutes. And if given to a Prisoner in the Brig can not last longer than the time remaining on their Brig timer.

Possible NJP suggestions:

  • Clean up briefing/req/lounge
  • Mopping floors
  • Push-ups or laps
  • Writing an apology letter

Survivors

You may not always be informed when someone comes aboard, but when found or informed this can be a good outline of things you should do to cover your bases.
1. Secure any weapons. This is preferably done in the brig or another secure area. Ensure all bags, belts, boots and any other container on their persons is checked for items in contravention of current Marine Law
2. If done in the brig you can do a quick scan of them in the brig medbay if they weren't first checked out or treated when they arrived.
3. Update their ID to colonist or passenger at the ID computer in the CIC or the one near briefing. In addition to this, survivors can also be enlisted into the USCM as a private, with the permission of the Commanding Officer. Once completed you can print the access report for the CMP or use it for the next step.
4. Add the survivor to the ship security records and optionally remove their gloves and take prints from the survivor with a forensic scanner for future investigations. Take a photo of their front-facing and side facing sprite to also add to the records.
5. The CL, CO, CMP or researcher may want to RP with them. Contact them!
5. If the Commander/Duty Officer allows them to assume a role in one of the departments, you can update the ID to reflect the change.

  • Armed survivors in the CIC is a big danger to the command staff and operations; they should be intercepted before they can gain access.
  • Colonial Marshals are not from the Provost office and do not receive immunity. Ahelp when unsure!
  • Survivors cannot keep their weapons while on the ship whilst not at a red alert level.
  • You cannot take fingerprints from someone wearing gloves.

Updating ID's or demotions

To demote or add someone to the crew. Try to use the ID they are wearing as opposed to creating a new ID from a blank card.
1. Take their ID and enter it into the Target Identity slot on the ID computer
2. Enter your ID into the Authorized Identify slot
3. Under the assignment section, you can set someone to a job, and it will automatically assign the appropriate privileges to the ID or remove them in a demotion.
4. Alternatively, you can manually change accesses by adding or subtracting areas of access.

  • If you do not change the assignment or use a custom assignment on a colonist ID they will continue to display a Unknown.png on the security HUD
  • ID cards without "USS Almayer Identification" checked will detonate claymores and be engaged by sentries. It must always be checked on friendlies!
  • Survivors cannot be given, police, command roles or assignments in departments they don't have skills in.
  • Custom roles can be assigned such as Janitor, Pastor, Chef, Receptionist, etc..
  • All assignments need to have permission from the Head of Department or the Commander/Duty Officer.

Your Workspace

The Brig is located West (fore) of CIC and can be accessed either through the CIC Hallways, or the general access doors on each side.


Brig map.png


The Brig is likely where you will spend a lot of time as MP. Both Chief MP's office and the Warden's office is to the south (or port), and to the east (or aft) of the courtyard. They both contain a, records console, a camera console, and a brig specific camera console. They both have personal bunks attached, and additionally the Chief MP's Bunk has a personal fax machine. The Warden's office also has the shutter controls for cells and the courtyard as well as lockdown buttons for the courtyard and the Brig as a whole.

The south (or port) of the Brig is the main detainment area. It contains the Brig cells with timers and wall mounted flashes, and the lockers with prisoner gear intended to be switched for the cell occupant's possessions, and the courtyard which has an attached bathroom and hydroponics area.

In the middle (or the centerline of the ship) of the Brig: you will find the processing area which contains the JAS consoles, security record consoles, crew monitor, as well as the identification computer. Brig and courtyard lockdown buttons are also present here. A holding cell for securing detainees being processed. There is also the attached Brig medical area, and the evidence storage room.

The north (or starboard) of the Brig has an interrogation room, the Brig armory; containing lethal weapons for ship defense or other code red threats and riot gear and non-lethal weapons for unruly marines, the equipment room; in which you will find all the vendors needed to outfit an MP for shipside patrol, a Brig cryo bay and a break room.

And finally, the west (or fore) of the Brig is the permanent detainment area and execution room.

The execution room is where the executions usually should happen. It contains a single chair for the unlucky person that will have their life ended and in the attached storage room: a blindfold, pack of cigarettes and a lighter, a lethal Injection locker containing syringes with a cocktail of dangerous drugs. and a firearms locker. For the procedure of Execution, please see Marine Law - Executions.

The Perma cells come with additional blast shields, and a Lockdown button unique to the permanent detainment area. Also found here are two additional lockers one containing additional prison garb, and the other containing straight jackets and muzzles for unruly prisoners.

Armory and Equipment Room

The Armory and Equipment Room, located on the starboard side of Brig. The lockers in the armory are bulletproof and only open on Red Alert, but can be opened manually by the CMP, Warden, SEA, ASO, XO or CO.

Your Tools

Being an MP is not an easy job. You are responsible for the security and law of the ship. Luckily, you have plenty of tools at your disposal to help you fulfil your duties.

  • The Fax Machine: This is used for contacting Provost and High Command. Primarily used to ask permission to remove the acting Commanding Officer from their position, it may also be used to inform Provost of unusual circumstances and receive instructions on how to proceed and when in doubt of the CMP's action you can report it through the fax machine. Make sure you send a properly formatted Fax. It makes it both easier to read and looks more quite a lot more professional. You can find the proper format to use and a lot of other goodies in our Paperwork Guide.
  • The Records Console: You can find this console in the Brig processing areas, at security checkpoints, and both the Warden's and CMP's office. It is used to review and update records and as such is one of your most essential tools. Use it to make sure people have their status (suspect, njp, arrest, released, incarcerated, or none) as well as any crimes they may have committed up to date. Status and comments may also be edited by examining someone if you have a Security HUD on. To identify fingerprints found on your forensic scanner, click the console with your scanner in hand to place it in, and then print out the results.
  • The Camera Console: There's one of these in the brig and a few more scattered around the ship in checkpoints and other workstations. The Console allows you to see through any camera in the USS Almayer, and it's useful to find or follow fleeing suspects as well as to keep an eye on shipside operations.
  • Recharger: There is five in the Brig and a few in Medbay. They can charge up stuff that runs on electricity. Some of the Equipment it can charge is: Disabler, Stun baton.
  • Pepper spray refiller: Located in the Brig Equipment room as well as the processing area near the holding cell, can be used to refill pepper spray.
  • Security HUD-Glasses: Wearing these glasses will show jobs onboard the Almayer, someone not on the crew-list or not wearing ID.
    Unknown.png Unknown - They are not wearing their ID
    Suspect.png Suspect - Examine their record or ask the MP net why they are suspected of a crime.
    NJP.png NJP - They have committed a minor crime but are being forced to do punishment tasks that do not involve an arrest.
    Wanted.png Arrest - Examine their record or ask the MP net which crimes they are wanted for.
    Incarcerated.png Incarcerated - Outside of Brig this can be an indication of a prisoner that has broken out, call this in and check it out!
    Released.png Released - Keep an eye on these in case they continue their mischief.
  • MP tools: You have access to a variety of items such as flashes, handcuffs, and tasers to help you control and subdue hostiles.
