Engineering Procedures

Special Projects, Demolition, and Renovations

Engineering has the right to control, manage, and issue permits for building, renovation, tools, or demolishing portions of the station, with the Chief Engineer having the final say or applicable Commanding Officer.

If the engineering department does not have enough people to provide an Engineering Tech, Technical Assistant, or Atmospheric Technician to any of the above, ensure that there is a simple form that outlines what is to be done to the area, i.e., 'Renovating the Bar to make it a strip club,' or 'Demolishing a defunct part of Security and make it a lounge,' or 'Building a sauna attached to medical,' and ensure that it is stamped and approved.

Engineering and Tools

Engineering has the final say on all tools, engineering-only items, or externals access. They are permitted to grant people access to these privileges, but are equally permitted to remove someone's access to these privileges for any reason they deem valid. Security are to work with the Chief Engineer when it is provable that someone had used either externals access or tools for criminal activity at their discretion, in which case the Chief Engineer is to stamp a Engineering Restriction Order.

Engineering Restriction Orders

Engineering restriction orders are Chief Engineer-stamped orders to remove someone of the ability to carry or use items, tools, and/or access that are under Engineering's authority. These are used when someone has misused restricted engineering tools or items for criminal activity. The order should include the following:

• name of the person that committed the crime;
• name of the person who requested the order, or the one who would have the evidence of the reason;
• the specific items, tools, or access being revoked;
• reason for restriction of their tools and items;

where the Chief Engineer and Security, if necessary, shall both keep a stamped and signed copy safe and secure to the best of their ability for record-keeping. The individual that committed the crime shall be given a copy as well to inform them of the order.

Valid reasons for an Engineering Restriction Order would be:

• continuous misuse of tools, insulated gloves, or welding-safe goggles for criminal activity;
• because the Chief Engineer said so.

The order will only be valid if stamped and signed by the Chief Engineer.

Atmospherics & Gas Generation

The Engineering Department may produce experimental, hard-to-obtain gasses such as Frezon and Tritium for the purpose of selling, or approved experimentation, or power generation or safeguarding the station (Supermatter Safed out via Frezon to crash it and prevent a Delamination Event).
