Engineering SOP

This is a work in progress

Chief Engineer

1. The Chief Engineer must make sure that the AMES is fully set up and supplying power to the station before any further action is taken by themselves or their team;

2. The Chief Engineer must make then make sure that the air distribution network is fully dispensing breathable air to the station before doing anything else;

3. The Chief Engineer must make sure that the Singularity, Tesla or Supermatter engine are built correctly, and safely before they are enagaged.

4. The Chief Engineer, along with the Research Director, is responsible for maintaining the integrity of Telecommunications. The Chief Engineer must not hinder the proper functionality of Telecommunications, and must diagnose and repair any issues that arise;

5. The Chief Engineer is bound to the same rules regarding the axe as Atmospheric Technicians;

6. The Chief Engineer is permitted to carry a flash and a disabler.

7. The Chief Engineer is responsible for maintaining the integrity of the Station's Atmospherics System. Failure to maintain this integrity is grounds for termination;

8. The Chief Engineer is permitted to grant Building Permits to crewmembers, but must keep the Station Blueprints in a safe location at all times.

9. Standard Command SOP applies.

Atmospheric Technician

1. Atmospheric Technicians must properly setup the air distribution network before doing anything else;

2. Atmospheric Technicians are permitted to completely rebuild the Atmospherics Piping Setup, provided they do not pump harmful gases into anywhere except the engines;

3. Atmospheric Technicians are not permitted to create or release harmful gas mixes for any non-engine purposes unless in times of extreme emergency or with the express permission of the CE;

4. Atmospheric Technicians are responsible for the setup of the TEG if present on the station;

5. Atmospheric Technicians are not permitted to take the axe out of its case unless there is an immediate and urgent threat to their life or urgent access to crisis locations is necessary. The axe must be returned to the case afterwards, and the case locked;

6. Atmospheric Technicians are not permitted to tamper with the default values on Air Alarms without good reason. They are, however, permitted to create small, acclimatized rooms for species that require special atmospheric conditions (such as Plasmamen and Vox), provided they receive express permission from the Chief Engineer;

7. Atmospheric Technicians must periodically check on the Central Alarms Computer, in periods of, at most, thirty (30) minutes;

8. Atmospheric Technicians must respond promptly to piping and station breaches. Failure to report within fifteen (15) minutes will be considered a breach of Standard Operating Procedure, unless there are no spare Atmospheric Technicians to report, or an Engineer has arrived on scene first. All Hazard Zones must be cordoned off with Engineering Tape or holobarriers, for the sake of everyone else

Station Engineer

1. Engineers must properly activate and wire the AMES at the start of the shift, before any other actions are undertaken;

2. Engineers are responsible for maintaining the integrity of the engines. Neglecting this duty is grounds for termination should an engine malfunction;

3. Engineers are not permitted to construct additional engines (such as additional SM/Tesla/Singularity engines until at least one engine is correctly set up and powering the station;

4. Engineers are permitted to carry out solo reconstruction/rebuilding/personal projects if there is no damage to the station that requires fixing;

5. Engineers must check each active engine at least once per 30 minutes;

6. The Supermatter Engine, if online and under emitter fire, must be constantly monitored;

7. Engineers must respond promptly to breaches, regardless of size. Failure to report within fifteen (15) minutes will be considered a breach of Standard Operating Procedure, unless there are no spare Engineers to report or an Atmospheric Technician has arrived on scene first.

8. Engineers are permitted to hack doors to gain unauthorized access to locations if said locations happen to require urgent repairs;

Technical Assistant

1. Technical systems primary responsibility is to assist Engineers in the maintenance of the station;

2. Technical assistants must remain with a station engineer or atmospheric technician without express permission of the chief engineer;

3. Technical assistants may work alone in deploying solar panels if they are properly trained;

4. Technical assistants may not remodel, rebuild or move major station componants without engineer supervision.
