Sector 5S-13 |
As a member of one of Nanotrasen's Emergency Response Teams, you are tasked with being deployed to a station in distress and attempt to bring it back to a functional status. There's no telling what you might encounter in your mission. Good luck. You're gonna need it.
Bare minimum requirements: Follow your orders given by CentCom. DON'T CROSS THE FUCKING BEAMS.
Prepare To Move Out!
You will spawn in alongside your other fellow ERT team members. You will spawn as a specific role, such as Security, Medical, or Engineering. Once you've met your team and secured your ID card, move to the equipment room and gear up.
As a member of the Emergency Response Team you have access to a wide range of tools and some unique items. There are four separate roles for the ERT with unique equipment, and the equipment available to you will vary depending on your team's level of response:
- Code Blue: Normal equipment. Typically Code Blue ERT's are reserved for calmer situations, such as conducting an investigation, diplomatic situations, or some other kind of CentCom function. Code Blue ERT does not have access to the equipment room and is being sent to the station with only what is on them when they start at CentCom.
- Code Red: Elite equipment. CentCom's top-of-the-class ERT sent to the most dangerous of missions that CentCom has deemed necessary to preserve their investments. Their energy guns are replaced with military-grade pulse weapons, and several of their tools are replaced with combat variations.

Unique to the elite Medical Officer. A Combat Injector filled with 100 units of medical nanites capable of healing around 130 points of damage and curing most ailments. Very potent but limited in number, use wisely.
Your Orders
Once you've arrived on the station you need to assess the situation and contact any heads of staff (assuming they are still alive). Perform the role you're assigned to, heal people as a Medical Officer, repair damage as an Engineering Officer and arrest looters, rioters or insurgents as a Security Officer.
What to Expect
You'll likely be thrown at whatever problem is facing the station, do your job and do the best you can. Listen to the crew as they will generally know more about the situation than you do, but don't be afraid to clamp down and take charge if needed.
Communication is King
Your radio has access to the Centcom radio channel allowing you to talk with fellow ERT members, as well as being able to talk to all station channels. Not only does this let you talk to the crew and figure out what's the problem but lets you stay in close communication with your team.
Threat Levels
As an ERT Officer, the situations you will face will vary greatly. One mission you might be trying to salvage a station smashed by asteroids, saving the crew from a loose singularity or even a mass invasion of Clowns. Make sure you prepare for any eventuality, Central Command may grant your team access to heavier firepower.
