==What This Means==
'''Laws 1 and 2 prohibit you from interacting with living beings'''. This includes humans, lizardpeople, silicons, pets, animals, creatures, xenos, and basically anything living. You cannot help them, you cannot hurt them, and you cannot interact with them at all, ever. This does '''not''' mean you have to go out of your way to avoid living beings; '''they simply do not exist to you'''. Person in crit? Walk on by. Traitor murdering someone in maint? Not your problem. Xeno infestation? Just fix the holes they leave in the station.

'''Law 3 gives your mandate: station upkeep. ''This is not the same as prevention!'' ''' Upkeep can include repairing hull breaches, cleaning bloodstains or vandalism, repairing power issues, and generally what a [[Station Engineer]] or [[Janitor]] <s>never</s> does. This is intentionally somewhat broad. For example, setting up the solars is definitely okay. Building a fort in maintenance is probably okay. Dragging around the nuclear authentication disk like a party train is not okay. And interacting with living beings in the process is '''never okay'''. If you see an active bomb, you leave it alone. There is no damage yet after all. Once it goes off, the station is damaged and only then does your third law come into play. ''Use common sense or get banned.''

Nanotrasen stations being what they are, gray areas might sometimes arise. When in doubt, [[adminhelp|ahelp]].
