Do note there is a difference between a silicon stopping you from executing someone, and a silicon bolting down all of security because of one officer. They'll be treated differently. | * Don't kill silicons for trying to stop you from executing someone. It's required of them by their laws.

As a Security Officer you are expected to fight any and every hostile force assaulting the station, from traitorous crew members to powerful reality defying Wizards to teams of "crack" syndicate assault forces. You must know how to counter any and all threats that are thrown at you, preferably with minimal force needed on your part. Remember, however, that not only is the station's peace at risk, but your very life is on the line; fail and you will die! Here is NT's staple guide on suggested courses of action against expected threats. | As a Security Officer you are expected to fight any and every hostile force assaulting the station, from traitorous crew members to powerful reality defying Wizards to teams of "crack" syndicate assault forces.

===Shitlers/ | ===Shitlers/Graytiders=== | ||
The ones (typically [[Assistant|Assistants]]) who just want to see the station burn and make your job protecting it as painful as possible. Don't take shit from a grey tide. If a shit ton of assistants are swarming the brig all at once, you're free to use lethal force due to how silly it would be to even try getting them stunned and in the brig without being stolen away / broken out. | The ones (typically [[Assistant|Assistants]]) who just want to see the station burn and make your job protecting it as painful as possible.

===Traitors=== | ===[[File:Sword.gif]] Traitors=== | ||
[[Traitor|Traitors]] range in hostility and thus are a mixed bag to tackle, standard ranged stunning is recommended in dealing with confirmed traitors. If someone is suspected of being a Traitor, get several Officers to search the person in question and possibly search their department for hidden items. Interviews with witnesses and victims can help in proving the guilt of a possible Traitor. In the case of overt traitors however you will need to respond with needed force depending on the threat presented. | [[Traitor|Traitors]] range in hostility and thus are a mixed bag to tackle, standard ranged stunning is recommended in dealing with confirmed traitors.

* '''Spray Bottle''': A unique "device", unfortunately small amounts of water can slip people for long periods of time. If the suspect is reported to possess a Spray Bottle, do not approach without walking. If the suspect is using ranged weapons in a conjunction, be wary and avoid getting into a bad situation. Consider getting Cargo to order Galoshes or ambush the traitor. | * '''Spray Bottle''': A unique "device", unfortunately small amounts of water can slip people for long periods of time.

===Changelings=== | ===[[File:Changeling.gif]] Changelings=== | ||
[[Changeling|Changelings]] are alien entities that have infiltrated the station, they can easily change their appearance in a moments notice. If there are confirmed sightings of Changelings, be wary. Fortunately a Changeling is usually only as powerful as the job they have access to, although rarely you will encounter one with bio-organic armor, a shield that stops ranged tasers in their tracks, and an incredibly deadly arm blade. Don't underestimate them under any circumstances! | [[Changeling|Changelings]] are alien entities that have infiltrated the station, they can easily change their appearance in a moments notice.

Due to their abilities, it is possible for a Changeling to kill a fellow Sec Officer and impersonate him. However, you should note that they will lack a Loyalty Implant. Be wary of Sec Officers without Implants and unless they can confirm they were killed and cloned, they should be kept under watch. While you are free to terminate a confirmed Changeling, you must be 100% certain that the suspect is a Changeling before executing. If you cannot prove they are a Changeling, ask the Warden/HoS to give them a Chem/Tracking implant to watch their future activities. So if Joe Innocent walks out of the brig with a Chem Implant displaying a Symbol above their head and later on you see Alex Antag with the same symbol, you will know that they are almost certainly Changeling. | Due to their abilities, it is possible for a Changeling to kill a fellow Sec Officer and impersonate him.

The same standard tactics in subduing a Traitor apply to subduing a Changeling, however do be wary that some Changelings can ignore a stun and get up after being stunned. | The same standard tactics in subduing a Traitor apply to subduing a Changeling, however do be wary that some Changelings can ignore a stun and get up after being stunned. | ||
===Nuclear Operatives=== | ===[[File:Generic_nukesyndie.png]] Nuclear Operatives=== | ||
A five-man team of operatives that are tasked with assaulting your station, stealing the Nuclear Authentication Disk, and destroying the station via a thermonuclear device. You must make every effort to stop them. | A five-man team of operatives that are tasked with assaulting your station, stealing the Nuclear Authentication Disk, and destroying the station via a thermonuclear device.

Securing the Disk is your number-ne priority. Keep the disk bearer alive at all costs and protect it. If you have a choice between killing an operative and saving the disk, '''save the disk'''! If you lose the disk, to and quickly secure a Sec Hardsuit and scour the exterior to find the Ops. If you are lucky you can catch them trying to arm the nuke. A pinpointer helps greatly in this situation. | Securing the Disk is your number-ne priority. Keep the disk bearer alive at all costs and protect it.

===Wizard=== | ===[[File:Generic_wizard.png]] Wizard=== | ||
A extremely powerful entity, if a [[Wizard]] is confirmed, rally the Security and arm up with the best weapons you can get. The best way to terminate a Wizard is to stick together and focus fire on them, wear them down with constant stun- and laser-fire. Do not go at them alone or you will die. If you can safely stun them, either open fire with lasers or remove their clothing to shut down their spells, do not get into melee range unless you can confirm that they cannot use Disintegrate or Magic Missiles. | A extremely powerful entity, if a [[Wizard]] is confirmed, rally the Security and arm up with the best weapons you can get.

If by some miracle you are able to subdue a Wizard, immediately secure them with cuffs, a straightjacket and a muzzle. This will shut them down completely and render them harmless. At this point, your greatest threat is the crew trying to kill the helpless Wizard. If you still wish to preserve their life, move to the Brig and push back people trying to kill them. Generally at this point the living Captain/HoS/Warden/Clown will either perform an execution or a trial for the Wizard. | If by some miracle you are able to subdue a Wizard, immediately secure them with cuffs, a straightjacket and a muzzle.

===Revolutionaries=== | ===[[File:Rev.png]] Revolutionaries=== | ||
Sometimes, a few crew members will have enough and rebel against the command staff and the security force. Your job is to stop them at all costs and protect the command staff. [[Revolution|Revolutionaries]] are as deadly as a traitor with improvised weapons, however, their greatest strength are their numbers. Tasers, energy guns and stunbatons are useless against a swarm of 10 to 20 people clambering over the stunned and twitching bodies of fellow revs to get at your throat. | Sometimes, a few crew members will have enough and rebel against the command staff and the security force.

Work with security to protect the command staff and suppress the revolution. Cargo will be a vital, but bloody, battleground fought over, as it acts both as a source of loyalty implants for security and a source of weapons for the Revolutionaries. | Work with security to protect the command staff and suppress the revolution.

Similar to Revolutionaries in few respects, their goals are to sacrifice crewmen and other clandestine activities. The end result is identical to Rev in the take over of the station. | Similar to Revolutionaries in few respects, their goals are to sacrifice crewmen and other clandestine activities.
