|
| |

| |
| ''Including charges totaling 25 minutes or greater. Lethal punishment should only be considered if Extended Confinement is unreasonable or unsustainable, due to external factors or the inherent threat caused by a convict.''
| |
| | |
| ===== Execution =====
| |
| Termination of the convict’s life without the intent of future resurrection. Whenever any execution is performed, regardless of trial or not, a general announcement must be made detailing who was executed and for what reason.
| |
| | |
| The convict may select from one of four methods of execution, depending on availability:
| |
| | |
| * Firing Squad
| |
| * Lethal Injection
| |
| * Electric Shock
| |
| * Asphyxiation.
| |
| | |
| If the convict does not make a choice after being given ample opportunity, the sentencing officer or other relevant authority may select the method that is most appropriate.
| |
| | |
| Convicts may request alternate methods of execution that may be approved or denied at the discretion of the individual passing the sentence. The executed corpse must be burned, stored in the morgue, or processed by medical staff using the biomass reclaimer.<blockquote>Execution should only be considered for highly destructive, dangerous individuals who have caused immense damage, or who continue to pose a danger to the station. A player must consent before their body is burned, placed in the biomass reclaimer, or otherwise rendered permanently unrevivable.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| ===== Exfiltration =====
| |
| Immediate retrieval of the convict via a CentComm or GALPOL dispatched transport. The prisoner may be held in a temporary cell until the transport arrives. If a transport cannot be arranged, default to other capital sentences.
| |
| | |
| ===== Preservative Stasis =====
| |
| Termination of the convict’s life with the expressed intent to perform a resurrection once the convict's body can be secured at Central Command. The convict's body is to be stored within a morgue or similar controlled and regulated environment to ensure the body does not rot or be destroyed.
| |
| | |
| ===== Decorporealisation =====
| |
| Stripping the convict’s mind from their body into a more restricting form such as borgification.<blockquote>Decorporealisation should only be considered for highly destructive, dangerous individuals who have caused immense damage, or who continue to pose a danger to the station. A player must consent before they are decorporealized.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| ===== Extended Confinement =====
| |
| Placing the convict into the brig until the end of the shift, where they are to be transported to Central Command for processing. The convict has the same rights as any other prisoner within the brig, whether they arrived by transport at start of shift or were sentenced to Extended Confinement.
| |
| | |
| ===== Mindbreaking =====
| |
| Removal of the convict’s psionic power by use of Mindbreaker Toxin or any other means. May be applied when the convict is guilty of a capital crime in which they use psionics.<blockquote>Mindbreaking should only be considered for highly destructive, dangerous individuals who have caused immense damage, or who continue to pose a danger to the station. Some individuals may experience '''severe''' long term side effects. </blockquote>
| |
| | |
| == Pilotage Law ==
| |
| All pilots, trained or otherwise, of non-foreign invader shuttles are expected to follow pilotage law. Pilots not aligned with or hired by NT are required to announce their dock with the station. Pilots must fly slowly and exercise caution when docking. Pilots shall not use their vessel to intentionally ram or crash into another vessel or station.

TODO: Robots, Mantis stuff, Artifact stuff, equipment expectations section, anomaly handling/safety.
*Robots*
War mechs such as the Gygax and Durand, despite being produced in epistemics, are considered security equipment, and should not be produced without authorization from the Warden, Head of Security, Captain, or Mystagogue
*Artifacts*
Artifacts shall at all times be contained in an artifact container if they are not being actively researched by a scientist. They must be transported within a container to and from epistemics and public spaces (not including hallways) must be avoided.
Handheld artifacts that have been fully researched and pose absolutely no threat on any depth or edge and have a useful anomalous property may be kept and used by the epistemics crew to aid in further research, such artifacts are exempt from containment procedures.
*Mantis stuff*
The Mantis is intended to assist security with psionic-related issues and threats, when requested. They are not a vigilante or private investigator, and shall not harass, stalk, or threaten law-abiding psionic crew. When requested by security, the Mantis may apply psionic suppression to criminals, however mindbreaker toxin shall never be used without a direct order from the Captain or Head of Security, and only as punishment for extreme capital crimes that involve the use of dangerous psionics.
The Mantis should not be considered a regular member of epistemics and should not be handling regular epistemics work when other epistemics staff are available unless absolutely necessary, or the Mystagogue has permitted it.
*Anomaly Stuff*
Anomalies are claimed by and the responsibility of whoever generated them, or whoever took to handling it first. The commanding officer or Mystagogue may order an anomaly's death at any time for any reason. If an anomaly is inside the boundaries of another department, the relevant department head may also order its removal at any time for any reason.
For anomalies in public areas, in the absence of other obvious containment measures, a locked APE should be left nearby, ideally labelled with the name of researcher who has claimed the anomaly, so that they can be swiftly contacted if there is an issue.
During code white, all anomalies must be decayed.
Research & Distribution of Experimental Technology
Epistemics has the right to refuse or allow the distribution of experimental technology under the permission of the respective Department Head. For example, the Chief Engineer gives the word or provides a written statement requesting Epistemics distribute experimental ENGINEERING tools to the Engineering crew, or the Mystagogue approves of all Epistemics using and distributing speed boots to their department. This does not mean that a Departmental Head is strictly beholden to this baseline standard; understand that as Command, they should have an acute understanding of the consequences of distributing experimental equipment.
Specializations
The Mantis and Chaplain are not considered regular epistemics employees. Please see Specialization SOP.
Dispensation of 'Experimental' Equipment
Epistemics are expected to understand that they are liable for the items, boards, and/or equipment they give away if it was used criminally.. It is not reasonable for Epistemics to mass-produce weapons or explosives of any kind unless under direct orders by the Captain or CO.
Expectations
- Epistemics should issue Logistics with an expedition board industrial ore processor when readily available.
- Epistemics should safeguard the protolathe and circuit board printer to prevent misuse to a reasonable degree.
- The Mystagogue should attempt to encourage keep a record of who they provide items, boards, or equipment to.
IPCs & Cybernetics
- Epistemics shall provide services to all crew IPCs and Cyborgs, such as upgrades, battery replacements, and repairs.
- This means they should be freely given higher-end batteries as they become available.
- Epistemics shall ask before creating Cyborgs for departments; otherwise, create typical Cyborg frames instead of Specialized ones, such as the Engineering or Medical Borgs.
Surgery
The Roboticist is the only member of epistemics that may do surgery on an organic specifically for the purpose of applying mechanical limbs. Under no circumstance are they to heal an organic using surgery, but instead give them limbs or body changes that fall under their non-organic jurisdiction.
Anomaly Ownership
Anomalies are claimed by and the responsibility of whoever generated them, or whoever took to handling it first. The commanding officer or Mystagogue may order an anomaly's death at any time for any reason. An anomaly can only be "claimed" if an APE is nearby, and if it is claimed, all decisions regarding it fall to owner of the anomaly.
In order to prevent anomalies from going crit when the owner is distracted, it is recommended (but not enforced) that you label your APE with your name.
Anomaly Kill Orders
The Mystagogue or the Commanding Officer (acting or not) is able to enforce an Anomaly Kill Order at any point if they deem the anomaly to be unsafe. They should, preferably, check with the anomaly's owner first, but they do not need to do so if the situation calls for it. Failure to abide by a kill order can lead a demotion or worse Central Command punishment.
