Department Standard Operating Procedure: Supply

Foreword

These are in-character guidelines of things you should not do, or you may be fired/demoted. Department SOPs are not server rules. They are also not meant to be followed to the letter, because circumstances and context may permit you to break SOP. However, the fact that SOP is malleable is not an excuse to ignore it entirely. Disputes involving SOP should be handled entirely in-character, and should not require admin intervention unless server rules have also been broken. Department Standard Operating Procedures are in addition to normal Standard Operating Procedure.

Quartermaster

1. The Quartermaster must follow the same Guidelines as Shaft Miners and Cargo Technicians.
2. The Quartermaster has the authority to deny any request not made by a Head of Staff or Command staff.
3. The Quartermaster does not have authority over the Master at Arms regarding ship weaponry, nor can the Quartermaster order munitions department personnel to perform the role of Cargo Technician or Shaft Miner.
4. The Quartermaster is free to utilize paperwork at their discretion. However, during emergencies, expediency should take precedence over bureaucracy.

Cargo Technician

1. Cargo Technicians may not distribute contraband without permission from the Executive Officer or Captain.
2. Cargo Technicians are not permitted to hack the autolathe or any other machinery in Cargo.
3. Cargo Technicians are not permitted to create weaponry without permission from the Head of Security or Captain. With permission, weapons are to be handed over to the Warden and placed in the Armory.
4. Cargo Technicians are not permitted to distribute equipment from department-specific crates to crewmembers outside of that department without permission from the relevant Head of Staff.
5. Cargo Technicians are not permitted to break open crates.
6. Cargo Technicians must immediately transfer mission objectives to Security or Command.

Shaft Miner

1. Shaft Miners must have permission from Command to begin salvaging operations.
2. Shaft Miners must inform Command when salvaging operations are complete and all Shaft Miners are aboard the ship.
3. Shaft Miners are required to maintain telecommunications while off ship, and may not disable it.
4. Shaft Miners must ensure that the hull plating of their dedicated mining ship is not compromised.
