The Warden is a member of the security staff, responsible for the [[Brig]], the [[Prison Wing]] and the prisoners. Also charged with minding the [[Armory]].


==The Face==
'''IMPORTANT: Do not play Warden without a relatively good grasp on space law!'''
You are the face of the [[Brig]]. You should be the person interacting with prisoners and fellow officers the most. You need to be ready to deal with any issues that the officer have regarding their equipment or the suspects they have been apprehended. Make sure you have a good knowledge of [[Space Law]] as this will provide invaluable to your endeavors.


==Chain of Command==
'''Bare minimum requirements:''' Guard the armory and make sure your officers are following proper brig procedure.
You are the second in command of the Security department. If the HoS is not available to do his duties then you must be prepared to step up to the plate. At your current rank you only have authority over people who are in the brig but this should not stop you from helping the HoS to direct the officers around the station. You have a Security camera console in your office, use it and report crimes to the officers. It is also handy to ask the officers to report every now and again, just so everyone knows they're still alive. Dangerous world out there.
[[File:Thebrig.png|300px|thumb|alt=Brig|Your Domains: The [[Brig]] + [[Security Office]] + [[Prison Wing]] + [[Warden's Office|Your Office]]]]<br>
=Watch Hound =
Half of your job is to look after the prisoners, make sure they don't die or get unfair [[Space Law|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]]. '''Stay in the brig.'''


Once more: '''''STAY IN THE GODDAMN BRIG'''''!
Even more important: '''''STAY IN YOUR GODDAMN OFFICE, WATCH THE DAMN ARMOURY'''''!
==Mister Dispatcher ==
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. Additionally, when the proper research is completed, your security officers can wear bodycams allowing you to be their eye in the sky no matter where they are. 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 [[Computers#Security_Cameras|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.
=Second in Command=
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]]==
Just give the detective space, he's a 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. Sometimes he may come to you with contraband for you to secure, or bring fingerprint scans for you to compare with security records.
==[[Security officer|Security Officers]]==
Nominally, 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.
==[[Lawyer|Lawyers]]==
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 ''[[traitor|criminal]] attorney'' on your hands, don't hesitate to bring the hammer down.
==Equipment==
==Equipment==
You now have access to the [[Armory]]. This place if full of wonderful, but often lethal, equipment. Sometimes certain situations may arise which force you to hand out the weapons to the officers to aid them in their fight against evil. Generally speaking though, you wait for orders from the HoS before issuing any weapons. Always remember, you are responsible for those weapons. When the threat has passed your priority is to see that they are returned and safely stored.
[[File:Armory.png|300px|thumb|alt=Armory|The [[Armory]]]]<br>
However, there's more than lethal weapons in there. You can help re-stock the officers and even add an extra layer of security to the department by deploying flashers and barricades. Use your initiative but remember, always follow the [[Rules]].
Given the ever-present threat of prison breaks and riots, a skilled Warden is a well-equipped warden. Your locker contains a Compact Combat Shotgun, a box of flashbangs, some extra zipties and burn resistant gloves that teach you krav maga (but only when you're in security areas). Stuff some of that in your bag.
 
There are also some pieces of kit to help you out. 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 Security Door Control Remote, which you can use to bolt down certain doors in the brig.
 
Don't forget your small supply of firing pins, which are the only way to make a usable gun from Research and Development. Don't be too stingy: If you help the [[Research Director]], they might give you some nice toys later on (Mindshield Firing Pins).
===Implants===
The [[Armory]] contains different sets of implants which you may want to make use of for prisoner control.
====Chemical Implants====
These will allow you to inject up to 50 units of toxins into the subject at any time from the Prisoner Management Console in your office. May be loaded with sedatives instead. For larger doses, subject may be implanted multiple times.
====Tracking Implants====
These will allow you to detect if the subject is nearby using the locator device provided. Also leaves a blinking red dot if the subject is observed with a [[Hud#Security_HUD_Icons|Security HUD]].
====Mindshield Implants====
Prevent the subject from being brainwashed by [[Revolution|commies]], [[Cult|zealots]], and [[Gang War|mobsters]]. They also revert the effects of [[Revolution|some]] [[Gang War|conversions]]. If someone resists them, they're either a ringleader or [[Shadowling|something much worse]]. More can be ordered in the [[Cargo Bay]], albeit at an extremely high cost. Ensure all security personnel are loyalty implanted by checking your [[Hud#Security_HUD_Icons|Security HUD]].
==Don't Sit Around==
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.


==Paperwork==
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.
Yep, we all hate it but sometimes it's necessary. If someone reports a crime, use the computers behind you to record the crime committed on the suspects record. Set them to arrest and watch as [[Beepsky]] apprehends them. It is a very useful, powerful but under appreciated tool that you have at your disposal. Use it wisely and effectively and you'll see just how easy it is to help keep the station under control. Just remember to update the records after someone has been released.
== Clearance Level Check==
Referring back to the [[Chain_of_Command|chain of command]], remember that the [[Head of Personnel]] 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 [[traitor|Head of Personnel]] [[changeling|at]] [[abductor|all!!]]


==Security Clearance==
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.''
Even though the [[Head of Personnel|HoP]] has the power to change peoples jobs and give them as much access as they please does not mean they are allowed to. Only the HoS should authorize the creation of new officers. If you see a new person walking around the brig with access, don't be afraid to ask the HoS or another head of staff. It could be a harmless mistake, or something much more sinister.
Please note, the HoP is not a security member. He/She does not get to walk into the armory and take what they please.


Make sure that all officers and heads of staff have a loyalty implant or else you might have a [[Revolution|bad]] [[gangster|time]].
==Lockdown==
==Lockdown==
If things become to heated in the department don't be afraid to lock it down. Locking the department down should only be done in extreme cases but it can save lives. This is especially handy during riots where crew members may be attempting to overthrow the Command or the Security. There is a tank of N20 in the armory for situations like this. DO NOT abuse it.  
Sometimes, things get so bad you need to close everything off. One button will activate bomb-proof shutters underneath each grille to stop breakouts (or breakins), and another will seal off the perma wing if the prisoners are rioting. Remember that even after a lockdown, Perma is still accessible via the interrogation room.
==Prison Wing==
[[File:Prison-wing.png|thumb|300px|[[Prison Wing]]]]
Space Station 13'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 [[Cyborg|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 [[security officer|shitcurity]], space carps, [[changeling|other traitors]], or micrometeors 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.
==Labor Camp==
Space Station 13 has a completely functional labor camp. Consider sending prisoners here if they are particularly unruly and need a well deserved vacation from the station. Before sending a prisoner to labor camp use a prisoner ID and set a point goal for them to achieve. Make sure to point out the card console in the labor ship as it is often overlooked. Prisoners are given a sleeper, toilets and mining equipment. Be aware that many a foolish officer has died to the labor camp pickaxe. For this reason and many others be very cautious when sending prisoners here. Again, remember to give the prisoners a point goal or else they may be stuck there forever.
=Auschwitz=
'''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, you more or less have to hope someone steals so you can arrest them and take it from them. If it's an "assassinate" objective, well, you have access to sec records for everyone on the station. Simply falsify a record (pray you don't get caught or traced), murder them in the safety of your brig and dump the body in space or at the gulag. So long as you weren't seen dragging the man who got 2 minutes for littering into perma, you can usually claim his time simply ran out and he was let out. If the body is found, claim self defense and have your target's corpse rot in the brig morgue.
 


==Prison Duty==
{{Jobs}}
Occasionally someone may be deemed to unsafe to return to the general population. In these cases they may be sent to the Prison Wing, or as it's commonly know, the permabrig. The prisoners must be stripped of ALL civilian items. Open one of the locked lockers and dress them in the orange uniforms reserved for the prisoners. Place their old items in that locker, they won't need them anymore and then lock the locker. Place the prisoner in their cell and let them spend the remainder of their lives in confinement. But you must make sure to keep an eye on them. They are your responsibility. If a prisoner becomes even more dangerous then place them in [[solitary]] where they can live by themselves and cause nobody any harm.
[[category: jobs]]
There is also a locked locker with a lethal injection in it. Please note, ONLY the [[Captain]] may administer this lethal cocktail to a crew member. ONLY the [[Captain]] may kill a crew member.

Brig


Watch Hound

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. Stay in the brig.

Once more: STAY IN THE GODDAMN BRIG!

Even more important: STAY IN YOUR GODDAMN OFFICE, WATCH THE DAMN ARMOURY!

Mister Dispatcher

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. Additionally, when the proper research is completed, your security officers can wear bodycams allowing you to be their eye in the sky no matter where they are. 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.

Second in Command

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

Just give the detective space, he's a 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. Sometimes he may come to you with contraband for you to secure, or bring fingerprint scans for you to compare with security records.

Security Officers

Nominally, 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

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

Armory
The Armory


Given the ever-present threat of prison breaks and riots, a skilled Warden is a well-equipped warden. Your locker contains a Compact Combat Shotgun, a box of flashbangs, some extra zipties and burn resistant gloves that teach you krav maga (but only when you're in security areas). Stuff some of that in your bag.

There are also some pieces of kit to help you out. 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 Security Door Control Remote, which you can use to bolt down certain doors in the brig.

Don't forget your small supply of firing pins, which are the only way to make a usable gun from Research and Development. Don't be too stingy: If you help the Research Director, they might give you some nice toys later on (Mindshield Firing Pins).

Implants

The Armory contains different sets of implants which you may want to make use of for prisoner control.

Chemical Implants

These will allow you to inject up to 50 units of toxins into the subject at any time from the Prisoner Management Console in your office. May be loaded with sedatives instead. For larger doses, subject may be implanted multiple times.

Tracking Implants

These will allow you to detect if the subject is nearby using the locator device provided. Also leaves a blinking red dot if the subject is observed with a Security HUD.

Mindshield Implants

Prevent the subject from being brainwashed by commies, zealots, and mobsters. They also revert the effects of some conversions. If someone resists them, they're either a ringleader or something much worse. More can be ordered in the Cargo Bay, albeit at an extremely high cost. Ensure all security personnel are loyalty implanted by checking your Security HUD.

Don't Sit Around

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.

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 Head of Personnel 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 loyalty implant or else you might have a bad time.

Lockdown

Sometimes, things get so bad you need to close everything off. One button will activate bomb-proof shutters underneath each grille to stop breakouts (or breakins), and another will seal off the perma wing if the prisoners are rioting. Remember that even after a lockdown, Perma is still accessible via the interrogation room.

Space Station 13'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.
