perhaps it could be handled kind of like a shuttle call. in any round, the living station heads and maybe ai may confer and insert their ids and enter their secret passcodes or whatever, and thus they and security send for and receive authorization from centcom to crack down violently on a suspected revolution, freeing them of fears of ooc punishment for collateral damage, effectively changing their rules mid-round much like how the ai can be subject to law changes mid-round
the more heads present/participating when they send their authorization request, the fewer minutes they must wait to receive confirmation of authorization.
should it be conducted in secret? or should there be a big public announcement be made instructing crew to stay where they are and co-operate with interrogators?
since this can be done in any round, it might be used as a cover for traitorous slaughter or a changeling's feeding, but could also set too many people on high alert and sensible antags should be wary of the option
