Foreword: As the name indicates, Standard Operating Procedure is a set of Guidelines to be followed when the station is functioning nominally. Breaching Standard Operating Procedure without a very good reason is grounds for demotion, at the discretion of the relevant Head of Staff. In addition, blindly following the letter of SOP while ignoring the context of the shift is a ridiculously bad idea. SOP is malleable if the situation requires it, and the general well-being and proper functioning of the crew and station should not be sacrificed for the sake of rigorous adherence of SOP. Remember, context is king.

Nanotrasen has a standard set of procedures for crew personnel to follow when there is (or isn't) an emergency. This is to assure that all actions are in the best interests of Nanotrasen. Failure to follow these may result in dismissal/demotion. Extreme or repeated cases may result in a jobban.

NOTE: Any mentions of "The Station" or "Station" in SOP unless otherwise specified is in reference to the reader's (employee's) assigned Nanotrasen Science Station or Area of Operations. The following (but not limited to) research stations are assigned these SOP documents: NSS Keberos, NSS Cereberon, and NSS Cyberiad.

Departmental SOP

Along with the guidelines listed below, each and every department has it's own subset of job-specific Standard Operating Procedure that is to be adhered to whenever possible.

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.

  • Suit sensors are not required to be on.
  • 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.

Code Blue - Confirmed Threat

Elevated alert level. There are reports or other proof available to indicate that there is a threat to the station. When a Centcom threat summary is received and printed at communication consoles (happens automatically every roundstart), the blue alert level is applied.

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

Code Red - Immediate Threat

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

  • Suit sensors are to be turned fully on at all times.
  • Security can raid departments and arrest any crew member deemed a threat to the station.
  • All crew members must remain in their departments.
  • 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.

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

Different Situations

Evacuation

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

Fire and Other Environmental Hazards

  • Immediate evacuation of all untrained personnel.
  • Fire alarms to be used to control the hazard.
  • Atmospheric Technicians and Station Engineers are to remove the hazard.
  • Pump air back into the area when fixed.
  • Ensure the damage is repaired.

Viral Outbreak

  • If severe viral strain is on board the station, the Chief Medical Officer is required to quarantine infected parts of the station with the help of security.
  • All infected crew are to be isolated in Virology or Medbay.
  • Sterile masks/Internals and gloves are mandatory for medical personnel and recommended for crew.
  • Quarantine must be maintained until the outbreak is contained and resolved.
  • If the Emergency Shuttle is called, medical and security are to ensure no infected crew board the shuttle.
