Adds a sentence in Running the Numbers to clarify that you do, in fact, have your own ideas. Adds a sentence warning of security records at the end of Running the Numbers. Adds another small paragraph to the end of The Stake Out

The same options hold true if you can't find the owner of a DNA string using a Medical Records console, save that (essentially) nobody deletes their own Medical Records. In almost every case, an unidentifiable string of DNA belongs to a humanized monkey from [[Genetics Lab|Genetics]], or a monkey itself. | The same options hold true if you can't find the owner of a DNA string using a Medical Records console, save that (essentially) nobody deletes their own Medical Records.

If you find one pair of prints on a damning detail and no glove fibers, you've most likely got a catch. Set the individual to Arrest, update their security record, and inform Security over your radio. Even if you only have suspicion, or you can't arrest someone based on forensic evidence, still inform Security and append the Notes section to indicate what you've discovered. If you set any individuals to Search, follow the same process. Remember who your [[Head of Security|boss]] is, and defer to them if they don't agree with the direction your investigation is heading. | If you find one pair of prints on a damning detail and no glove fibers, you've most likely got a catch.

Generally, uniform fibers can be used to do station-wide searches if the shift is slow enough, but you shouldn't base a sentencing off something so trivial. It's easy for any criminal who wants to throw you off to put on a disguise before they commit their nefarious deeds. Sentencing the single [[Assistant]] on board for theft based on grey jumpsuit fibers makes little sense when the uniform is freely accessible in the [[Locker Room]]. On the contrary, any traces generally limited to one or two jobs, such as an Engineering Hardsuit, should immediately be reported to Security as soon as you find them, before you even make it to a console. | Generally, uniform fibers can be used to do station-wide searches if the shift is slow enough, but you shouldn't base a sentencing off something so trivial.

Blood DNA can be used to identify victims if no body was recovered OR if the body is unidentifiable. In most cases, the latter is because the body is husked, which is either caused by excessive burn or a [[Changeling]]. | Blood DNA can be used to identify victims if no body was recovered OR if the body is unidentifiable.

'''Regardless of your findings, whenever you're done with a Security Records console, <u>always</u> log off before you resume other activities. Failure to do so means someone can sneak in and wreak havoc, such as setting Heads of Staff to Arrest to be targeted by secbots or less-intelligent officers.''' | '''Regardless of your findings, whenever you're done with a Security Records console, <u>always</u> log off before you resume other activities.

While your fellow officers should (theoretically) know Space Law, it never hurts to be present during a suspect's brigging to clarify any information or wrongdoings about them. Furthermore, clarifying the crimes they're guilty of can make the process a lot quicker, as well as avoiding wildly inaccurate sentences, which are bound to get the station and/or any administrators online down your throat with punishment for your foolish transgressions. | While your fellow officers should (theoretically) know Space Law, it never hurts to be present during a suspect's brigging to clarify any information or wrongdoings about them.

If you're simply walking about the station and you notice someone coming out of an area they shouldn't be in, or an area that's rarely entered, that's a point of oddness that you can investigate. A chemist coming out of maintenance could just be someone acting oddly for no reason, or it could be a [[Blood Cult|cultist]] that just left their base. As with a majority of your investigating, context is important. '''If you suspect there's criminal or dangerous activity going on in some area, it's highly recommended you call for backup before you investigate, or, at the very least, pass on your hunch to Security.''' Getting jumped by a bunch of Nar'sie's finest doesn't help anyone except them, especially if your fellow officers have nothing to go on regarding your disappearance. | If you're simply walking about the station and you notice someone coming out of an area they shouldn't be in, or an area that's rarely entered, that's a point of oddness that you can investigate.

Another trick is to simply follow anyone you think is up to no good. You can be obvious or not in how you go about this. The former almost guarantees that, if they are bad, they either won't do anything suspicious or they'll eventually snap and try to kill you. Assuming you're on guard and expecting it, you should have a good shot of either subduing them or escaping, so long as you haven't let them get a significant upper hand on you or lure you to somewhere you can't quickly flee from. | |||
