The Warden is a member of the security staff, responsible for the Brig, the Prison Wing and the management of the prisoners. He essentially acts as a right-hand man to the Head of Security and runs most of the operations within the Brig in the absence of the HoS. The Warden is also tasked with guarding his most valued treasure: The Armory, filled with Security's best gear and armaments.
Bare minimum requirements: Make sure no one who shouldn't is in the armory. Set a timer for arrested people and make sure they don't break out.
Watch Hound[edit | edit source]
Half of your job is to look after the prisoners, make sure they don't die or get unfair sentences, and make sure they don't escape. The other half of your job is to arm security with weapons in times of war. You are not a Security Officer and do not have to go outside of the brig (and really should not go out of the brig). Stay in the brig.
Once more: STAY IN THE GODDAMN BRIG
Even more important: WATCH THE DAMN ARMORY.
Mister Dispatcher[edit | edit source]
If you have no prisoners to watch out for, you should be coordinating the Security Officers over the security radio channel. People often make accusations of crime on the radio that you can follow up on. You can ensure all arrest records are filled in with this and with information from the security radio channel to make sure officers don't wonder why a particular person is wanted. You can also check on the cameras for reported disturbances and update the records of anyone involved (which should be done regularly). Your fellow officers will appreciate your help in sending them where they can make a difference. You really have the opportunity to make Security run like a well-oiled machine. Frequently check security officers positions and health on the crew monitoring console so you know if where they are.
Second in Command[edit | edit source]
As the Warden, you have authority over the brig and any security officers inside the Brig. Should anything happen to the Head of Security, you are expected to take up his position and command the security staff.
The Detective[edit | edit source]
Just give the detective space, he's the loose cannon that runs around and scans for prints. In the rare cases where they do drag someone in, they'll need help with the Brig timers and securing evidence. Since almost anyone (even lawyers) with brig access has access to evidence storage, the more dangerous evidence should go in the appropriate locker in the armory.
Security Officers[edit | edit source]
Normally, officers aren't under your command and are not required to follow your orders. That being said, if they're in the brig and mucking around, you are well within your duties to order them to leave. Otherwise, try to be the benevolent eye in the sky and keep tabs on the whereabouts of your team.
Lawyers[edit | edit source]
When used correctly, the station's legal counselors can provide an extra layer of security by keeping an eye on things or by policing the various debris and detritus that crops up over the course of a shift. Pass out some spare sunglasses or a SecHUD (if you're feeling particularly generous) and don't refuse their clients' right to counsel. If you wind with a criminal attorney on your hands, don't hesitate to bring the hammer down.
Equipment[edit | edit source]
See here what items you're about to use and how to use them.
Given the ever-present threat of prison breaks and riots, a skilled Warden is a well-equipped warden. Your locker contains your personal gear: a spare taser, a box of flashbangs some extra zip ties and burn resistant gloves that teach you the Krav Maga martial art. Stuff some of that in your bag. Also, consider grabbing a laser weapon: being next to the armory is no use if somebody has blown up the APC and you can't get through the now de-powered windoors to stop them cleaning the place out.
Not only that, but your Armory contains a plethora of gear that can help you in your quest to defend the Brig. Barricades are excellent if someone has broken the Brig doors with a cryptographic sequencer, and portable flashers, although they have limited charge, are very useful at stopping poorly equipped attackers or budding escapees. You also have a toolbox to help you install the flashers and make other basic adjustments. Make sure no one gets your ID, and that you know who the Head of Security is (in the very real case that someone murders them and steals their identity). Your ID is a high-value target, so make sure no one gets their grubby hands on it. You also have access to the HoS's Door Control Remote, which you can use to bolt down certain doors in the brig.
Don't forget that your loot includes anything you might have created at the Security Protolathe or have confiscated from Traitors and other agents of chaos. It's best to keep these confiscated weapons and items away from the Officers; only let you or the Head of Security handle them. Theres a better chance that the Head of Security will know how to put that gear to good use.
Implants 
[edit | edit source]
The Armory contains different sets of implants which you may want to make use of for prisoner control.
Chemical Implants[edit | edit source]
Will put a chemical implant under the skin of a person's chest. Load the implant with up to 50 units of chemicals by injecting it with a filled syringe while it's still in its original case. You can then remotely inject the implanted chems with the Prisoner Management Console in your office.
Implant will last so long as the subject is alive. However, if the subject suffers from malnutrition, the implant may become unstable and either pre-maturely inject the subject or simply break. Can be loaded with sedatives or even lethal injections. For larger doses, a subject may be implanted multiple times. Disintegrates 10 minutes after the death of the host, unless revived. Also leaves a blinking blue dot if the subject is observed with a Security HUD.
Tracking Implants[edit | edit source]
Will implant a tracking beacon under the skin of a person's chest. The Prisoner Management Console in your office can then be used to check the implanted person's location and even send messages into their mind. Use a bluespace locator to track implanted targets. Locators can be printed from the security techfab after research. Use a Hand Teleporter or Teleporter to teleport to the target. Disintegrates 10 minutes after the death of the host, unless revived. Also leaves a blinking red dot if the subject is observed with a Security HUD.
Mindshield Implants[edit | edit source]
Mindshield Implants will revert the effects of Revolutionaries, however if someone resists them they are most likely the ringleader. Mindshield implants will also prevent brainwashing from Commies and Cultists. However they cannot deconvert anyone but a revolutionary. More can be ordered in the Cargo Bay, albeit at an extremely high cost.
All Security forces are automatically implanted at the beginning of the shift, so ensure all security personnel are Mindshield implanted by checking your Security HUD. Sometimes you'll catch someone impersonating, an officer.
Don't Sit Around[edit | edit source]
Sitting at your desk is alright, but you should make sure to scan the cell blocks every once in a while to make sure no one is hurt in the cells, or that no one has broken in. Your job is to protect all of security from people busting in, or out. A quick sweep every few minutes should be fine, being a warden is a mostly relaxing job, just make sure to stun anyone who looks suspicious in the brig (or security office area) and hold them till the head of security comes. Remember, DISARM FIRST, kill if that's your only option.
If you are going to sit around, the least you can do is update the security records for your prisoners and anyone mentioned on the radio.
Do not forget to check on the Armory once in a while. While it may seem impenetrable, there are ways people can get inside without a loud boom.
Clearance Level Check[edit | edit source]
Referring back to the chain of command, remember that the Executive Officer is not your superior, nor are they a member of the security team. If they are trying to break into the armory without prior authorization throw them in a cell so the Head of Security or Captain can have a talk with them. Remember they might not be the Executive Officer at all!!
This goes double for anyone promoted to security. If the clown or mime shows up requesting gear, check with the Head of Security first. The Head of Security is the first and only authority on who may or may not be promoted to security.
Make sure that all officers and heads of staff have a mindshield implant or else you might have a bad time.
Lockdown[edit | edit source]
Sometimes, things get so bad you need to close everything off. You luckily have access to a grid of buttons nearby in your office, allowing you to selectively activate lockdown shutters and blast doors on the front of the Brig, the front desk at the entrance to the Brig, the Perma wing, and the Armory. Use this when the angry mob shows up to bust down the front door of the Brig.
Additionally, you can use the Deployable Barrier Grenades found in the Armory to quickly seal areas. They are essentially a super strong version of the wooden barricades that can be built. They are ID locked once deployed, and can be repaired with a welder!
Prison Wing[edit | edit source]
NSV's secure Prison Wing. Once you check in, you don't check out. There are no times here - this is a place for hardened criminals. Expect to use this rarely, as many traitors get melon bowled before this becomes an option. Only you, the Head of Security, or the Captain should ever be taking people to it and only for the most heinous crimes.
If you do not pay attention, sometimes the Prison Wing may become a death camp. Periodically check it and make sure shitcurity, space carp, other traitors, or micro-meteors aren't abusing the prisoners.
Should the situation inside the prison get too messy, you always have the option to release N2O gas into the holding area. There are two canisters of the stuff near the gulag shuttle. Make sure to Drag the canister into the brig, don your internals and let 'er rip. Be sure to alert your comrades in arms about the change of atmosphere though.
Tips[edit | edit source]
- Keep a very close eye on the back of the Armory. It is common for crafty individuals to dismantle or even detonate the back portion of the Armory from Space. If you can hear them using their tools before they finish, you might be able to grab a Security Hardsuit in time to get out there and catch them!
- Your Krav Maga gloves are a very strong part of your personal gear. The Leg Sweep ability turns your next attack into a kick that knocks down and shortly stuns opponents, allowing you to easily apply a quick whack of the Stunbatton.
- Keep watch for any suspicious individuals loitering outside the Brig. Believe it or not, a lot of Officers die just after they walk out the doors of the Brig. Even worse, someone could be preparing to set up a nasty suprise for you.
- Try not to visibly harm the human prisoners out in the open. You never know when the ever-present AI might be watching you dish out some pain to some criminal scum. Despite them being criminals, it is the AI's job to prevent human harm. This may change however if anyone decides to program the AI's laws differently.
- Yes, you can beat the Catpeople. Despite their appearance, they are not human and can be treated with up-most disrespect if you like. The AI will not care.
- If you ever find yourself in close proximity to a Wizard, you might try using your Krav Maga's neck chop on the wizard. Doing so will render the Wizard unable to speak for a short time, and most wizard spells require the Wizard to speak an invocation in order to actually take effect.
- If you can both stun and neck chop the Wizard, you can easily remove his robes and put a muzzle and straight jacket on him to render him useless.
Auschwitz[edit | edit source]
NOTE: By default, the Warden cannot be an antagonist.
So, you're a traitor. You start with gloves, an energy gun, armor, and sunglasses. You have access to a ton of guns, and a ton of other things no station member could dream of. Problem is, you have poor access to the station, but you have a whole brig and gulag to play with (depends on how sadistic you are) and may create your own private death camp. You are less likely to be "needed" compared to a head of security, and less likely to be expected to respond to call than a security officer. Yet, running about station will attract attention (aka, "GTFO warden and back to the brig"), so get done what you need to and do it fast and remain in the safety of the brig.
If you have a "steal" objective, there's an okay chance that someone else tried to break in and steal that item, you can just take it from them. If it's an assassinate objective, well, most people go through the brig at least once. Just stun, strip, and space them. People going entirely missing from the brig isn't usually investigated if you just say their time was up, or if that pesky security is getting on your case for all those dead assistants in your office, head to the execution chamber, grab a canister of co2, go back to brig and hook the canister up to the airflow and kill everyone in security.
