Yeah I'm not for bringing on illegal drugs as loadout options. But why not start a drug trade with your character and another? Botanist & Chemist is the dream team, or just one scientist is enough. You'd be suprised on how many druggies there actually are on station.

2460.1.15 Great Houses Give Thanks to Tribunal and Emperor The Lord Nobles of the great houses have come together to give thanks to God through the Tribunal and to the Emperor of our most glorious empire. Recordings can be found on the Extranet but for those of us unable to witness these images reporter Harlow Kaanan writes the events below. On the steps of the Imperial Palace on Dominia proper Lord Nobles Strelitz, Volvalaad, Kazhkz, Caladius and Zhao took turns to give thanks to the God and the Emperor after the latest holy edict. Speaking first, Grand Duchess-Electress Dorothea-Frieda Strelitz gave thanks to the Emperor alongside several Imperial Army officers that formed her escort: We of House Strelitz -- and of the Imperial Army -- raise our sabers in praise of the Emperor, long may he reign, for his wise judgements and continued support of our great Army. Goddess willing, the Empire will continue its prosperity under our Emperor’s reign. Long live the Empire, and praise our Lady! Grand Duchess-Electress Landi Volvalaad, accompanied by a Necropolis Industries representative, spoke next: We of House Volvalaad are elated as theGoddess's will aligns with that of the Emperor. As we have always done, House Volvalaad will endeavour to act as a courteous host to our friends across the stars, and a stern arm to any who would think to cross this most glorious Empire. Praise the Goddess, and long live our Empire! Grand Consul-Elector Marcus Caladius, accompanied by a Caladius priestess, then spoke: House Caladius will always stand firm behind the Goddess, the Emperor, and our Empire. My fellow House members eagerly await another year of working alongside House Volvalaad to further Imperial interests abroad. Goddess willing, the rate of economic growth enjoyed under the Emperor will continue unabated. Thank you, and Goddess bless the Empire and Emperor! Finally, Lord Noble Imeral Zhao, standing alongside Grand Admiral Huiling Zhao, spoke: We stand behind Goddess and Emperor, and our ships shall shield our most glorious Empire for our enemies and protect our new humble friends as they are welcomed into our embrace. Praise our Goddess. Praise the Goddess, and long live our Empire.

I concur with Matt, just make another character friends.

We have lollipops? That's not on the wiki *eyes wiki maint team* It's a no from me as it discourages interdepartmental roleplay. I appreciate you found it difficult to set up, but we already have enough issues with department microcosms popping up without adding more levels of separation. You could always get the CMO to request it from Chef/HoP. Edited spelling: i am speak english

I'm fine with the uniform and as it's just a replacement for an already existing successful uniform I don't think I need to say anything more other than I wish it was more orange as it looks very similar in colour to the new Dominia clothes that are on their way.

To your mind is this going to be a group run by players? Is Jing Vanderbilt and NPC or an actual player?

Transport Horror As NT Shuttle Raided in Biesel Space Wednesday, January 09, 2460 A routine shuttle transport flying between Mendell City space port and the Odin space station was raided in the early hours of yesterday by what is believed to have been pirates. Reports suggest the transport shuttle was forced out of a bluespace jump by interdiction systems originating from the pirates vessel before being boarded. Reports suggest the pirates had been waiting in the shuttle lanes and targeted the employee shuttle specifically. After ensuring the transport shuttles bluespace drives had overheated and consequentially shutdown the pirate vessel coupled with the shuttle and hacked through the outer and inner airlocks. Security forces onboard attempted to contain the attack but we're forced into the cockpit due to the use of small arms ballistics from the pirates. So far eight people have been reported seriously injured with an unknown number of wounded. Around thirteen passengers have been declared missing with testimonies from the remaining passengers leading security to believe they've been kidnapped. Odin Station Civil Protection Officers have neither confirmed nor denied whether the pirates have contacted Nanostrasen with any demands. As Nanostrasen Emergency Response Troopers boarded the station with the survivors, reporters were able to gather brief testimonies from victims before they were taken to medical facilities. An injured Nanostrasen Security Officer, Kalren Halstere, told press that "Unathi intruders" had attacked the shuttle, and identified that he had a physical altercation with one of them. He went on to say that NanoTrasen's Navy was handling the issue, and that "if the intruders weren't apprehended, they soon would be." He also claimed he was targeted as a Solarian officer. Student and Nanostrasen employee Anyi Kali'vum told the Bugle “it was surreal I knew that something did not feel right the moment our shuttle stopped, it was not normal. People I did not recognize boarded and began attacking people. I hid.” According to Ms. Kali’vum, these individuals appeared heavily armored, and were equipped with weapons - we asked if these pirates had harmed her at all. “One of them found me hiding under my chair, he asked me if I had any money, and unfortunately I did - my sister had given me a handful of money to shop with after work, about two hundred credits - and I gave them to him. He kicked me away from him afterwards, with the bottom of his boot.” Station Engineer, Francis Martonis, simply told reporters that "[they] had to make an emergency bluespace exit. We were boarded. ERT arrived." He refused to say more. Civil Protection vessels and Nanostrasen Emergancy Response Teams have combed the local shipping lanes and have confirmed that the pirates have left local space and that "there is no further threat." Shipping continues as normal and almost all of the victims have made full recoveries with six still in station medical hubs. "We had a lot of injured but we all pulled together to help out" local Security Officer Freya Chunley told press as she assisted medical teams with first aid.

[mention]Sharp[/mention] Yes but to manage expectations I don't mean in the same vein as the work you've just presented for this app (sol mil), but something tangible - a paragraph here and there for example. Obviously this is a hobby so if you can't do it due to pressing life issues that's fine but if you want to do monthly work then there's no point in even being a deputy; you may as well just send in lore apps. Discord, forums and if the need arises I'll create an aurora specific email for the team to contact me. We'll see how it goes. Potentially a thread on the forums or a Google shared doc. This is a new thing for the aurora so it's very much being played by ear. A simple case of running your ideas by me would suffice followed by showing a draft. It's very likely I'll give you a direction to follow and give you a freedom to apply yourself as you see feet to my direction. For example I might ask you to work on the military pages for the human factions with caveats. At which point you'd be largely be free to do as you like taking into consideration the caveats themselves (not too detailed, keep the theme X etc).

Some questions, please answer them as best as you can: I'll be expecting regular weekly lore developments and weekly team meetings (likely voiced) via discord. Is this alright with you? Let's say on your first day on the job I give you free reign to alter any human or corporate lore as you see fit. What would you focus on, change and why? Let's say you there was an aspect of the lore which you really loved and Jackboot and I wished to remove it or alter it beyond a point that you would accept. After you give us your heartfelt plea we still proceed to remove or alter in a manner that appears unfair to you. How would you react to this and why? You're working on an aspect of lore development when you unknowingly overstep and alter another species lore. The species lore dev confronts you on discord and begins to aggressively reprimand you beyond your idea of fairness and respect (they're being far too aggressive). Unfortunately I'm not online to offer support, what do you do and why? I task you and another deputy with an area of lore development, during which you and the other deputy enter a heated debate. Your colleague decides to overrule you and in essence spark an edit war on the wiki and a minor flame war across public lore chat. Jackboot and I are unreachable for whatever reason. How do you deal with this and why? Whilst a deputy a player you quite like and consider a friend beings to PM you with ideas for lore changes, some of which appear to favour his characters and player friends. What do you do and why? A player begins to openly and aggressively mock a member of the lore team on public discord channels. They are not being constructive. What do you do and why?

So you want access to mining to get at the miners in mining or to get access to the airlock in mining?

Good stuff, a solid +1 from me.

Skull hit the nail on the head. I'd suggest the HoS at the beginning of the round assigns a number of Level Two Sec Officers as """"senior members of staff""". You guys at the ISD can iron out the procedure and present it to CCIA via forums for their approval and community critique. It could then be made standardised on server if it's approved. The only issue I can see with this is cronyism but who cares. Thoughts on this?

Is this not what a security officer level 2 is? Why not just flavor text yourself with sec officer level 2 and label your uniform thus?
