agentmulder39 Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Hi. I was thinking about this alot, what exactly is the security force on Aurora? they have Cadets and they are rather large too. also people give them a armory with enough weapons to make a army of like...20 or so people. and if they have cadets that means that the NT Security is highly trained. especially if it requires Two Years of training in order to become a officer. Yet some people say that the security aboard Aurora is basically like Mallcops. but who would give mall cops a Armory and a really big brig?. What is security?
Eliot Clef Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 What is security? The "Mall Cops" label is one used almost exclusively by people who are looking to attack/insult Security because of one thing or another that Security did to make them angry. We've gone a long time without it being used "seriously", and I'd like to keep it that way. We don't claim that R&D is staffed entirely by state college rejects, we don't claim that Engineering is staffed by high school dropouts, etc. Security, along with every profession with a prominent department on the station, should be afforded respect as professionals in their field. In this case, they're professionals expected to guard a facility equipped with a nuclear device, a general-purpose research facility that produces light to heavy weapons, potentially weaponized viral agents, etc. The Aurora is not a mall. It is a cutting-edge research facility. It will have an appropriate security team.
Guest Marlon Phoenix Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 The Internal Security Force is tasked with ensuring the safety of station integrity and crew. They punish violations of corporate regulations through briggings, fines, or other means as defined through regulations. They are a security force, though through game mechanics and lore, have heightened authority. Because you work on an extremely secure, highly sensitive research station for a company assailed by threats on all sides, your security guard has a bit more investment than just your average mall cop.
