 All assistants or midshipmen get assigned to one of the four squads shiftstart: Duff, Butter, Apple and Grape. All squad members get a pager which allows them to communicate with the rest of their squad. It can be accessed by holding it in your hands and typing '':f'' infront of anything you want to say. In addition to being in a squad, you also get assigned a role within the squad. You have the option of becoming a squad leader, a squad medic, a squad engineer or just one of the grunts. A guide to being in a squad can be found [[Squads|here.]]

-Assistants are the most versatile and expendable workers on the ship. They are recommended to new-comers who have read or are reading [[New Players|''the tutorial'']] and are still getting their space legs.

-Assistants begin their shifts around the ship but usually congregate in [[Primary Tool Storage]], where they can acquire some basic tools such as screwdrivers and wrenches. If you are charismatic or lucky, the [[Executive Officer]] can add more access to your [[Identification Card]]. With more access and perhaps a custom job title, perhaps you can find a purpose on the ship at last.

 '''Bare minimum requirements:''' Don't be a total shitler.
 ==Actually Assisting People==
-If you are an assistant and [[Beyond the impossible|wish to actually assist people]], you can try asking over the radio if anyone needs help with anything. This may or may not work. You can also approach people in person, which has a higher chance of success. Live out your dreams of being a 22-year-old coffee bitch intern IN SPACE!

-Assistants are usually the most aware civilians on the ship due to the fact they're constantly on the move. You'll find that that assistants make great informants!
+Midshipmen are usually the most aware personnel on the ship due to the fact they're constantly on the move. You'll find that that midshipmen make great informants and security details!

-==="Officer Greytide, reporting in!"===
+Well, get ready for action. Grab your equipment and make everyone know that you can help using the tools from your squad vendor. Run around and assist people, seal breaches and be all around helpful.
-Sometimes, security may be understaffed. In this case, a [[Head of Security]] has to take desperate measures. These measures include hiring crew off the hallways as deputies. These deputies are equipped with a small amount of security gear, and - the parts that is the most important - the ''right'' to make arrests. However, letting a random stranger into the brig is a big risk to take, and as such, you will rarely see Deputies.
+The time may come when you're called to the hangar. That's right, the hangar! Your responsibilities as being part of a squad are also boarding enemy vessels during active combat, if command ever decides to do that. You should generally wait for security to give you the weapons without rioting. Do as the pilots say, for they are the ultimate authority aboard their vessel.
 ===Being part of a Squad===
 On a battleship, we need every person at the ready! As such, every person with a non-combat job is organized into a ''Squad''. These squads get easy jobs to help with keeping the ship and the crew in one piece. But usually the people who have actual jobs just dont care about squad duties.

-It's easy to stay under the radar as an assistant, as you have the least-respected job on the ship (aside from [[Clown|that other guy]]). You have [[maintenance]] access, but to go anywhere else you need to be creative. Loot a belt and budget insulated gloves from [[Primary Tool Storage]] if you can and set out!

-This doesn't mean you won't run into a particularly savvy security member who knows the potential danger of an assistant, though. Keep alert at all times. In the rare case that someone actually asks you to assist them, draw them into a quiet place and execute them.
