Great! Now you're ready to start your first day on Space Station 13!

===Writing, radio and PDA's===

|-

|[[File:Pen.png]]<font size="3">'''4. Writing:'''<font size="2"> It's good to have things written down, so I want you to write your name on the sheet of paper in the [[Security Checkpoint]].

:#Write "Assistant [your name] arrived on SS13 on [date here]" (Example: ''Assistant Matt Droid arrived on SS13 on 27.11.2010'') and hit OK.

:#Put the pen back on the desk, examine the note (Shift+Click it), and close the window after you're done examining.

:#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 [your name], I've just arrived on this station and am wondering if anyone needs assistance with any job."

:#Then you wait for a reply, if someone says they need you, then go to them and learn from them, you can continue these exercises at any times. If the call ends up with you dead on the floor, don't get mad, it happens all the time.

:#If you don't get a reply, continue with this exercise.

:#Your PDA already holds a pen inside, which is removable by right-clicking on the PDA and selecting Remove Pen.

:#The PDA can also hold an ID card inside it. Take your ID and click the PDA with your ID in active hand to place it in. Your PDA/ID combination can be held in your ID slot to function as an ID card but this way you can also save one inventory slot.

:#You'll see a list of detected PDA's, click one at random and send a message to them. Message's content is your choice, if you can't think of anything just say "Hi!", don't get upset if the recipient doesn't answer, they're probably dead or just very busy.

:#Close the PDA.
