Let's not muck around here. You may have avoided death by asphyxiation thanks to some greyshit smashing windows for the hell of it. You may have dodged a bomb ripping the Medbay to pieces. You might not have breathed in the horrible, horrible virus that was "accidentally" released into the air system. But none of that my good friend, compares to the hell that awaits. | |||

Friends turn on friends. Clowns become murdering psychopaths (more than usual). Security starts stunning everyone and anyone, and someone '''always''' drops a flashbang or two. | ||
Welcome | Welcome to the Escape Shuttle. | ||
===Calling the Shuttle=== | ===Calling the Shuttle=== | ||
The shuttle can be called from a | The shuttle can be called from a Communications Console by any [[Heads of Staff]], the [[AI]] and its [[Cyborg]]s, or anyone with [[Bridge]] access. The same people, except the AI and its cyborgs, can recall the shuttle so long as 5 minutes have not passed (3 in Red Alert) since it was called. During [[Game Mode#Revolution|Revolution]], [[Game Mode#AI Malfunction|Malfunction]] and [[Game Mode#Blob|Blob]] game modes, the shuttle can be called and will arrive, but it will not depart from the station. | ||
Once called, the shuttle takes ten minutes for Central Command to power, program, and supply before arriving at the station, waiting for three minutes (if the Heads or a [[traitor]] with an [[Syndicate_Items#Cryptographic_Sequencer|emag]] don't get too jumpy first), and then leaves the station, taking two minutes to travel in hyperspace. Presumably the supplies are in case in the shuttle ''really fouls up this hyperspace process.'' | Once called, the shuttle takes ten minutes for Central Command to power, program, and supply before arriving at the station, waiting for three minutes (if the Heads or a [[traitor]] with an [[Syndicate_Items#Cryptographic_Sequencer|emag]] don't get too jumpy first), and then leaves the station, taking two minutes to travel in hyperspace.

An alternative to the shuttle is to escape on an [[Escape Pods|escape pod]]. | |||

The shuttle bridge at the fore section requires Bridge/Headquarters access and is reserved for the [[Chain of Command|Heads of Staff]], although the general crew gets a boner for occupying restricted areas and will try and slip in. | The shuttle bridge at the fore section requires Bridge/Headquarters access and is reserved for the [[Chain of Command|Heads of Staff]], although the general crew gets a boner for occupying restricted areas and will try and slip in. | ||
The bridge contains many consoles, the most important one being the Shuttle Console. If at least three Heads of Staff swipe their IDs on it (or if a [[traitor]] emags it), the waiting time for the shuttle gets shortened to 10 seconds. Doing so as a non-antag and without a genuine emergency (rampaging singularity, nuke ops, mass murder, etc.) is a good way to make everyone including the admins hate you. | The bridge contains an intercom and many consoles, the most important one being the Shuttle Console.

Traitors within the brig when the shuttle arrives at Centcom will fail their escape objective. Requires Security access to enter. | ||
Due to the fact that this, in effect, is Security's only haven on an otherwise chaotic shuttle, you can generally take it as read that walking through those airlock doors into the Shuttle Brig without being Security will get you robusted to fuck, or just outright murdered. Security are understandably incredibly twitchy on the Shuttle, so probably best just to leave them in peace as they beat their prisoners into submission for the Centcom bods. | |||
=== Shuttle Medbay === | |||
A small medical area, containing two sleepers and basic medical supplies. First aid kits are also located throughout the shuttle and on the bridge. | |||
=== Shuttle Cargo === | |||
A small holding area in the southwest end of the shuttle with a few lockers. Why does this exist? Nobody knows. Usually houses one or two people attempting to hide from the carnage outside. | |||
