I've tossed in my brief and largely inconsequential experiences as not-sec sec, but it made me think about something. What about the Captain?
He might not have the inability to spawn as an antag, and he might not have armory access, but he can still go everywhere, he's still (technically) the highest authority on the station, and he also has an energy gun. I know that, if there's a distinct lack of security members on the station, I sometimes end up playing pseudo-sec as the Captain for lack of many other things to do. Does the Captain fall under the same type of jurisdiction as the HoS? After all, their actual authority is dubious at times and since captains technically aren't security, I'm not sure where they'd come into play in all of this.
