Crisis alerts are an awesome way to inform relevant staff of where they're needed, but they can lead to too many people responding to a call and are less effective in private spaces, requiring the AI's attention or someone there to open a path.
Here's how the new Crisis Alert would work:
1. PDA scans an inserted ID and saves its access level, name, and title in the Crisis Alert app. (The PDA can't function as an ID at this stage; this scan simply stores the accesses in its memory.)
2. Sender's PDA send out an alert.
3. Eligible staff receive the alert, and have an option to "Respond" or "Ignore."
4. Selecting "Respond" allows the responder's PDA to act as if it were an ID with the sender's access level (which was saved in step 1) for a little while, and sends a second message notifying other potential responders that their coworker intends to respond the alert. Any other attempts to select "Respond" by other potential responders are ignored.
5. The responder's PDA now has an option to "Request Backup;" Selecting "Request Backup" notifies other potential responders that you'd like help and allows them to select a response as in step 3.
6. Responders have an option to mark an alert as "Complete," removing their access and marking the alert as such.
7. Crisis alerts stale and become unrespondable after 10 minutes, and each ignore reduces this timer by 3 minutes.
Ideally, this'd come with a new PDA app that would track the crisis alerts and their status. Something like...
Cayden Damian (Security Assistant) - Brig: Pending [Respond] [Ignore]
Responder(s):
Krodus The Clown The Clown (Head of Clowning, Lord of Evil) - Cafeteria: In Progress
Responder(s): Kaito Boulos
Meng Kepplinger (Scientist) - Chemistry: **BACKUP REQUESTED** [Respond] [Ignore]
Responder(s): Mi Ngo
Summer Nadir (Captain) - Hydroponics: Complete
Responder(s): Kaito Boulos, Steven de Leon
Terrell Xu (Staff Assistant) - East Maintenance: Staled
