Standard Operating Procedure

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 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.

Code Green

Details

Conditions: Default Alert Code at the start of the shift. Do not change unless a threat is suspected/confirmed. OR All confirmed/suspected threats to the station and/or crew have been handled, or simply vanished on their own. It is recommended that, after 15+ minutes on Code Blue without any hostile activity, Code Green be called. Security: All weapons must be holstered or kept in pockets/suit storage slots unless absolutely required. Random searches are not permitted without express permission by either the Head of Security, or Captain. However, searches are still permitted if there is reasonable suspicion of a crime. Secure Areas: EVA Storage, Tech Storage, Gravity Generator, Engineering Secure Storage, Vault, anywhere else requiring command level access that does not get regularly used Secure areas are to be left unbolted and ready to be used for their intended purposes. The Vault is not to be opened unless repairs are required, gold is required for Science, or a critical item needs to be hidden in the safe.
