Classic player, never been on RP:
I believe that, in general, the Captain has final say over non-security matters (Service, Engi, Med, Sci, and Civillian) but the HoS has final say (above the Captain) regarding security matters (as these are high priority, are high risk, and the HoS has whitelist prestige, and the captain can be a lying dirty traitor, etc...)
The other heads (CE, MDir, RD, HoP, maybe RegDir) don't have this "their matters their orders" privilege as their work isn't as high priority or specially protected, though the Captain should (in general) still listen to what a head of staff has to say on their matters as they are more specialized and fit in that field.
so orchestrated ideal examples for humans:
Medbay blew up and the Detective finds a broken TTV in the wreckage traced to a scientist. Captain demands that engineering come to repair and security also comes for reinforcement and clonescanning.
The CE objects to this, as the TEG has burst piping, but Captain's orders are higher up than the CE, so engineering goes to medbay.
The HoS objects to this as they've traced the suspect and want to patrol halls and maintenance to catch them, HoS' orders are higher up as it's about a security matter, so security goes on stationwide patrol.
After the evil scientist is thrown out of the airlock, the Captain orders the security team to the bar for a round of drinks. HoS objects because they want their team sober, but Captain's orders because it's a service/civillian matter, so drink up Cadet, tab's on me.
and AI DOOR examples:
Medbay blew up and the Detective (in a spacesuit) wants AI DOOR around medbay to collect evidence. The Captain (in agreement with the CE) orders medbay shut to keep air from leaking out until it's fixed, but the HoS wants evidence in a timely manner to catch the suspect. You should open the door for the Det under HoS' orders.
Captain asks for the door to mechlab to be bolted open. The HoS thinks that's dumb, "keep it closed", but 'tis not a security matter to bolt open some random door, so bolt open mechlab under Captain's orders (or alternatively: put it to a vote! why not?)
The HoS along with their team wants you to release the bridge's lockdown because they've just learned the Captain is kidnapped there (and you can see it's true). The Captain denies this over the radio, and that "everything's fine". This is a security issue, so open the bridge up.
