Paramedic Multitool

[Nanako]

the fire axe case CAN be broken by other tools, i've done it with a crowbar. But it takes ages. Welder seems to work the best for some reason, but imo even that takes too long.

My personal preference would be to allow the paramedic to open the case with their ID, but in lieu of that, make the glass much more fragile so it breaks easily to anything, even to punching.

The whole point of a 'break glass in emergency' thing is that a normal, untrained person with no tools, can break the glass to access the fire extinguisher/axe/handle/whatever. So all cases where this mechanic is used. should be doable without tools.

With the welder on, it takes ~5 hits for it to break, I think. But the other tools take a lot longer, and most of the hits will just bounce off. It's ludicrously strong. If we made the station out of fire axe cabinets, we'd never have another breach again.

ok, maybe the case strength is in new code and it needs to be toned down.

ps, always use a fire extinguisher or oxygen tank to break stuff, it usually works best

You know, instead of having to break the case or use a multitool to unlock it... Why aren't these things just ID-locked and open-able by using a relevant ID? Why hasn't this even been suggested? It makes the most sense from an IC standpoint.

Because a fire axe case has more security when it's locked with electrical wiring.

it has been suggested a couple times in this thread. i agree with it

I prefer the glass be nerf'd instead, a break incase of emergency is better than having EMTs running with fireaxes to save the xenobiologist for the 4th time because the AI is afk.

Would force people to explain their actions and take responsibility for taking THE AXE
