As an assistant, you begin with you ID, your PDA, and a backpack to your name. Most of the time, assistants race to the [[primary tool storage]] to gather toolbelts, tools, and the coveted multitool.

Assistants are the most versatile and expendable workers on the station. They are recommended to new-comers who have read or are reading [[New Players|''the tutorial'']] and are still getting their space legs.
 
Assistants begin their shift in [[Primary Tool Storage]], where they can acquire some basic tools such as screwdrivers and wrenches. If you are charismatic or lucky, the [[Head of Personnel]] can add more access to your [[Identification Card]]. With more access and perhaps a custom job title, perhaps you can find a purpose on the station at last.
 
Sometimes you are a God among men and sometimes you are dead within twelve seconds of round start. It all depends on how you set up and the luck of the station.
 
==Duties? What Duties?==
Assistants are usually the most aware civilians on the station due to the fact they're constantly on the move. You'll find that that assistants make great informants!
 
Due to the lack of responsibility, you'll usually find that assistants are the ones responsible for renovating the bar with a dance floor or boxing ring, building cloning stations in firefighting closets, converting the dorms into interrogation rooms, and all other sorts of wacky projects.
 
==Gimmicks==
You can choose between either inventing a custom job title and having the HoP give you the title and appropriate access, and asking people over the radio if they need assistance. If you take the first option, consider the jobs on the following list. An assistant is a good job for playing a single-round gimmick.

*Animal Handler
*Athlete
*Bean Counter
*Beggar

==Ghost in the System==
It's easy to stay under the radar as an assistant, as you have the least-respected job on the station (aside from [[Clown|that other guy]]). You have [[maintenance]] access, but to go anywhere else you need to be creative. Loot a belt and budget insulated gloves from [[Primary Tool Storage]] if you can and set out!
 
The number one advantage of traitor assistant is your opponent's arrogance. Security and other crew members will typically assume you are inexperienced or stupid, so surprise them with your knowledge of the game's mechanics.
 
This doesn't mean you won't run into a particularly savvy security member who knows the potential danger of an assistant, though. Keep alert at all times. In the rare case that someone actually asks you to assist them, draw them into a quiet place and execute them.


As an assistant, you're the bottom of the ladder. Your life is not cared for, and you'll have to work for what you want. There's tons to do when you have no job, but many assistants turn to crime due to a lack of activities. Instead of turning to crime, here's a list of ideas that you can do to enjoy a round as an assistant.
