Basically you load and unload crates, order things for people, deliver orders, make things with the autolathe and ghost-ride the MULE. It's fun and easy.

'''Bare minimum requirements:''' Pull full crates out of the cargo shuttle, push empty crates back into it, and deliver crates to departments.

The [[Cargo Bay]] is your home as a Cargo Technician and, naturally, where you spawn at the beginning of the round. It contains a [[Hand Labeler]], a [[Cell Charger]] and [[Power Cell]] set, a [[Station Bounced Radio]], some [[Rods]], a [[Multitool]], a [[Med-kit]], some empty [[Crates]], a [[Quartermaster#MULEbot|MULE]], and an [[Autolathe]].

Cargo Techs can order crates and approve requests from a terminal near the foyer. Ask over the supply channel if there are any more orders before sending the shuttle, so other people don't have to wait for it to arrive, be unloaded, and sent back before they can order what they need.

You answer to the Quartermaster, and they answer to the Head of Personnel. The majority of QM's will leave you to your own devices, provided you're not abusing your position or rejecting perfectly reasonable orders so you can save points for guns or a hat crate. [[Hacking]] MULEBots and the autolathe would best be done with his/her permission, but most players don't care/expect these to be hacked.
You answer to the [[Quartermaster]], whose name is usually abbreviated to [[Quartermaster|QM]], and they answer to the [[Head of Personnel]], which is abbreviated to [[Head of Personnel|HoP]]. The majority of QM's will leave you to your own devices, provided you're not abusing your position or rejecting perfectly reasonable orders so you can save points for guns or a hat crate.

== [[File:MULE.gif|64px|Ping!]] MULEbot ==
'''Using a MULEbot:'''


You can control the MULEbot by clicking on it and unlocking its controls, but it's a lot easier and safer with the PDA.
# Drag the crate you want to deliver next to the MULE.
# Drag the crate's sprite on top of MULE's sprite. It should load on.
# Open your PDA.
# Click ''Delivery Bot Control''.
# Click ''Scan for Active Bots''.
# Choose your MULE.
# Click on ''Destination: (set)''.
# Choose a destination and click OK.
# Click ''Proceed''.
Your MULE should be on its way to the destination, with the default settings of also coming back home when the job is finished. Sometimes the MULEbot will make a funny sound when it encounters something in its way. This is the MULEbot nervously farting.


Hacking the MULE is pretty damn simple:
It's common for the Cargo Tech to, at the very least, [[Hacking#MULEbot|enable nonstandard cargo and speed the motor up]]. The MULE is one of your best tools as a Cargo Tech, and can make your life (and subsequently the lives of the rest of the crew) so much better.
 
== The Delivery System ==
{| class="wikitable"
In addition to MULEs and hand-deliveries, you can also make use of the disposals mailing system. Note that a break in the disposal piping could cause your package to be lost (this hardly ever happens), so this is not always the most secure way to deliver something. You can wrap up a piece of paper and mail it the same way if you (or someone at the desk) want to mail a letter.
|-
# Wrap your item/crate in packaging paper.
! Response from multitool
# Use the destinations tagger to choose where to send it.
! Effect if cut
# Tag the package.
|-
# Stick it on the conveyor and let the system handle it.
| The drive motor whines briefly.
== How to be Good at Your Job ==
| Increases speed, disables motor if both cut
# When the round begins, head to Auxiliary Tool Storage (above the Delivery Room, below the Gateway) and get the metal rods, metal sheets and glass sheets. Return to cargo, and load as much metal and glass as will fit into the [[Autolathe]]. If someone has already taken the metal and glass, order metal and glass with the [[Supply Shuttle Console|Supply Ordering Console]].
|-
# Order a Toolbox Crate. Ask over the supply channel if anyone wants to order anything else before sending the shuttle.
| You hear a radio crackle.
# While waiting for the shuttle to arrive, open the warehouse and drag the crates onto the conveyor belt at the bottom of Cargo. Each crate you send is worth credits. Get the stamp from the table above the [[Supply Shuttle Console|Supply Ordering Console,]] or the [[Quartermaster's Office|Quartermaster's stamp from their office]], and leave it between the external airlocks where the shuttle docks.
| Disables PDA control
# When the shuttle arrives, activate the conveyor with the lever beside it. Open the crate and leave the manifest on the floor. Put what you ordered into one of the ID locked cargo tech lockers (lock them by clicking on them with your ID in your hand), to prevent [[Assistant|trespassers]] being able to help themselves to it.
|-
# Load the crates from the conveyor belt onto the shuttle, then take the stamp you left outside and use it to stamp the manifest from the crate you ordered. Stamped manifests are worth credits, and they must be located inside a crate to count. Even the clown's stamp will work. One paper per crate, the system will not count multiple stamped manifests in the same crate.
| The charge light flickers.
# Make sure no one else has any crates they want to load onto the shuttle by asking through Supply, then send back the shuttle.
| Disables power
# Keep in mind that your job is to order supplies for people, so if you're called to your desk, make sure to answer. An infrared emitter/remote signaler assembly paired with a signaler in your pocket (all three devices can be made with the [[Autolathe]]) can create a great door bell when the beam is pointed across the entrance to the cargo lobby.
|-
| The external warning lights flash briefly.
| Disables safety, causes it to run over people instead of driving around them (DON'T DO THIS UNLESS YOU'RE A [[traitor|TRAITOR]])

[[Revolution]]! First thing you need to do is deal with the [[QM]] and then it's all yours for the taking. It's preferable to get those [[sunglasses]] off and [[flash]] them, but if no head revolutionary is nearby or the [[QM]] is implanted, DO 'EM.

If you're a traitor, spawn a [[emag|Cryptographic Sequencer]] and you'll have easy access to just about [[Supply crates|anything you want]]. Space the order forms the computer prints out of one of cargo's external airlocks. Make sure the cargo manifests and emagged crates are sent back on the shuttle. A hacked autolathe can create .357 ammunition for traitor revolvers, handcuffs, and circular saws (powerful melee weapons). Be careful not to be caught ordering or making things you shouldn't be.
If you're a traitor, spawn a [[emag|Cryptographic Sequencer]] and you'll have easy access to just about [[Supply crates|anything you want]] - but make sure to grab a lighter or welding tool and burn those ordering forms. Make sure the cargo manifests and emagged crates are sent back on the shuttle. A hacked [[Autolathe]] can create various types of ammunition to fulfill your traitorous needs. Riot darts if you have a DonkSoft toy gun, .357 rounds if you have a Syndicate Revolver, and 10 mm rounds if you have a Stetchkin pistol. Be careful to keep an eye out for other people and [[Security Officer|Security]] while you perform these illicit activities, or your run may come to an end before it's even started.


Emagging the supply ordering console enables you to order [[Supply_crates|cheap special ops crates]].

Remember that the HoP oversees cargo, the HoP's office is right across the hall, and that the HoP's ID can give you all-access.
