#'''Radio:''' | #'''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. | ||

#'''PDA:''' | #'''PDA:'''[[File:Normalpda.gif]] You have been issued with a portable data assistant which you should now have in your pocket. I want you to enable the PDA's flashlight and send a message to some random person. | ||

##The PDA has several tools available. Different department's PDA's have more specific tools like health analyzers and power monitors.
