	You'll need to ingratiate yourself with Security personnel; otherwise your shift as lawyer ~~wil~~ likely be fruitless and painful. You have virtually no physical power, but you can accumulate social power. Greet them when you first see them, use titles like "officer" when referring to them, say please and thank you, and generally try to roleplay a friendly fellow crew member. Don't let your speech imply authority, though: your Head is the HoP, not the HoS. Make it clear that your function is to uphold justice, the welfare of your clients, and the good of the station. Do not abuse your security headset or sec will at the least take it away or at the worst brig you for it AND take it away.

	In fact, it is advised that, as a lawyer, you not attack Security personnel at all, even when they deserve it (fleeing is acceptable). While it may help in the short run, future shifts may have random beatings if you are seen as a threat. If you're having trouble, seek the HoS's, HoP's, or Captain's help, as appropriate.

	~~=== Devilish Dealings ===~~
	If there is a [[devil]] on the station buying souls, your legal abilities will become paramount for saving the foolish crewmembers who sold their soul. Inside of your office is a filing cabinet filled with employment contracts. Should you find someone who has sold their soul, simply repeatedly bash them over their head with their employment contract. You may also want to make copies of some employment contracts. A copy has the full force of the original contract.

	As a traitor, you have closer ties to security than anyone else. Officers may go into the break room alone, and make themselves vulnerable to attack; reducing the number of officers may help even when they aren't your target. Your briefcase can fit the contents of a toolbox in it, but is considerably less suspicious than carrying a toolbox around. It is not difficult to stuff it with handcuffs and flashbangs if you can acquire them from Security storage. You can also hear security radio, which gives you a lot of intel.
