Quote: "Here we go again." - Commander [REDACTED], 1st Elite Response Team. Sector 5S-13

As a member of one of Nanotrasen's elite Emergency Response Teams (ERT), you are tasked with being deployed to a station in distress in an attempt to bring it back to a functional status. There's no telling what you might encounter in your mission. Good luck. You're gonna need it.

Remember to follow all orders given by CentCom.

Prepare To Move Out

You will spawn in alongside your other fellow ERT team members. You will spawn as a specific role - such as Security, Medical, or Engineering. As a member of the Emergency Response Team you have access to a wide range of tools and some unique items. There are four separate roles for the standard ERT with unique equipment, and the equipment available to you will vary depending on your team's level of response. Other ERTs, such as janitor or inquisition, may have different roles and a different team size.

Once on the station, you'll likely be thrown at whatever problem is present. Simply man your station and do the best you can. Take direction from the crew as they will generally know more about the situation than you do, ultimately use your intuition to guide you.

Gear Up

There are two rooms with gear inside for you to gear up using, depending on your ERT level.

Miscellaneous Equipment
Mostly useless equipment is kept in the spawn-room:

  • Medical laptop - Useful for researching threats in order to find weaknesses, if they are members of the crew.
  • Food and drink - If you arrive hungry, there are plenty of donuts to get you well-fed in preparation for your mission.
  • Spare CentCom headset - In case you lose yours, have another!
  • Handcuffs and zipties - Spare cuffs for security ERT.
  • Flashes - Spare flash for security ERT.
  • Station bounced radios - If telecomms is down on the station, make sure you and your team take one each.
  • Recharger - Make sure all of your weapons are fully charged before starting your mission.

Equipment Room
East of the spawn-room is the equipment room. It contains a locker for the four main ERT roles, as well as other equipment scattered around the room.

  • ERT commander locker - Contains a first-aid kit, handcuffs, AI card, a flash, a gun and ammo.
  • ERT medical lockers - Contains one of each first-aid kit, a defib and a medibot.
  • ERT engineering lockers - Contains spare materials, sandbags, magboots, RCD ammo and foam grenades.
  • ERT security lockers - Contains boxes of flashbangs, teargas grenades, flashes and handcuffs, and a riot shield.
  • C4 - This should only be used in an emergency, try not to blow up airlocks when you can RCD/hack them open.
  • Energy guns - Used for disabling threats without harming them.
  • Auto rifle - Used for disabling threats for good.

Uplink

Most of the time Amber Task Force, Blue ERT and Red ERT will spawn in with an uplink. This uplink contains gear and weapons, so each member of the ERT can tailor their gear towards their preference and their task.

Items are purchased through the uplink using warpcrystals (WC). Amber Task Force start with 10 WC, Blue ERT start with 20 WC, and Red ERT start with 30 WC.

Follow Your Orders

Once you've arrived on the station you need to assess the situation and contact any heads of staff/security (assuming they are still alive). Perform the role you're assigned to, heal people as a Medical Officer, repair damage as an Engineering Officer and arrest looters, rioters or insurgents as a Security Officer.

Your radio has access to a unique comms channel allowing you to talk with fellow ERT members, as well as being able to talk to all station channels. Not only does this let you talk to the crew and figure out what the problem is, but it allows you to stay in close communication with your team.

Response Teams

As an ERT member, the situations you will face will vary greatly. One mission you might be trying to salvage a station smashed by asteroids, saving the crew from a loose singularity or even a mass invasion of Clowns. Make sure you prepare for any eventuality, Central Command may grant your team access to heavier firepower. There are different types of teams that can be deployed, dependant on the situation they are being sent to resolve.
