For full context as some people might be not aware:
There exist Nanotrasen Special Operatives and a Nanotrasen Security Operative, funnily both abbreviated as NTSO which causes confusion.
They both wear iconic blue armor, but the Special Operatives carry powerful rifles and are admin-spawned, while the Security Operative exists as a job. The post refers to the Security Operative - similar to other latejoin gimmick special jobs like ambassador, mailman, etc, it's also available as one of them but only for Head of Security whitelisted people(or mentors on fridays by extension since they get access to HoS on that day). Unlike the Special Operative, they only get the cool-looking armor and a Clock pistol(which is extremely weak, probably by design and not in a negative way).
As for the suggestion itself, the idea of a HoS-lite for mentors sounds fun, though with the current idea being that if you see a HoS or NTSO you can trust them to be both competent as a player and a security officer, the division that was made into mentor and HoS being two separate things means that this might not always be satisfied. That being said, we have the friday mentor access for HoS and there haven't really been any issues, as well as the fact that being a mentor means there is some trust placed in you to be a good player, so this might not be a real issue. I'd be interested to see it.
