'''3. Internals:'''[[File:BreathMask.png]] The station has likely been beat up a bit since the beginning of the round and so it is a good idea to put on internals. These can be found in a box in your backpack. Take them out of the box and put them on.

'''2. Radio:'''[[File:Headset.png]] Okay, you're an assistant, which means you can theoretically work anywhere and assist with tasks. Practice dictates otherwise, but we won't pay lazy asses round here, so try to get a job now. Try to ask someone if they need assistance.

#Using the radio is simple. Instead of using '''say "Hello"''' like you would to say things to the people around you, you use '''say ";Hello"'''. Basically you add a semicolon before your message. Some departments have department radios (such as security, engineering, medical...) To use these, you write '''say ":h Hello"''' As an assistant, however, you don't belong to a department and as such don't have a department radio so the :h won't work.

#Be polite and professional when asking. An example of how to ask: say ";This is assistant %name_here%, I've just arrived on this station and am wondering if anyone needs assistance with any job."
