Reason for application:
Typically, when I play sec, its preferably detective because in a way it gives more freedom as to how you act, as in a way you are in between officer and assistant, as I see it you assist in investigation rather than entirely arresting someone, considering through a lot of my time I have come to realise not having a stun baton when arresting someone is slightly difficult.
Where I am going with this, I like the investigative procedure, rather than the chasing after someone, be it the tracker rather the hunter, by this I mean I like it when evidence comes together, and I want to be in a role where I can encourage others to do the same if they don’t, as most times it’s a single scanner report that can lock someone up, rather than someone making an entire evidence box against them, which then also helps with dictating executions or exiles. And at the same time would further encourage antags to hide their evidence if it became more of a standard.
I also believe I have enough time in sec that I can show a newer person at least the basics of security.
Security experience (300 word minimum):
I do not remember my first time as sec; I more remember bits and pieces of previous work
I think the first time I would have gone as a security officer might have been when I was testing each role to see what fit me best or what was more interesting. I believe I was lucky enough to have a HoS during that shift, who took the time to show me the ropes, as to which HoS it was, I don’t remember, but they were a lizard. During that shift there was a bomb threat, with the bomber being sat in security basically demanding the HoS’ limbs or they would blow the bomb, so HoS conceded and let me follow them down to medbay with a briefcase, of which I was told to run back with the limbs in the case, to trade em over. As HoS was being wheeled in on a wheelchair, after I passed the case over, the bomber started listing off locations, and HoS was sending individual sec to go find it.
I went to find one in medbay, which didn’t exist, so I started to believe that it was a lie, so as they were beginning their ending speech I suppose, I ran in and stun batoned them down, which they then weren’t able to detonate anything. After the whole situation I think I remember the HoS saying something similar along the lines of that I would be a good sec.
After that I have had a number of officer rounds ending well or not, but it has been an experience either way dealing with all the RP antags.
As for experience as a Detective, if I remember it was a, possibly server 1 round, or 3, I am not entirely sure. But besides it was just me the detective and a HoS’ Surprisingly not much crime til later, when a vampire was becoming more noticeable, which was then found hiding at the radio station. When I arrived, there was a lot of blood and I think a dead body, so I got to my evidence collecting, being print outs, and photos of important parts of the crime scene. Which I then brought back to security to show the HoS. Although later I did get overpowered by the vampire and the ability to jump right back up, and watched as the HoS was exploring everywhere but that one janitorial room where the coffin was.
Besides all that, I have had a lot of experience with investigating as detective. And it is my favourite part when evidence starts stringing together.
Answer two or more of the following:
• What advice would you give to other sec players?
You are most definitely going to die and or “lose” a lot, but it becomes a learning experience on how to improve. Don’t do what I do and get a bit annoyed when things don’t go how you planned it to. For example just now as im in the middle of writing and playing a round, nearly all of sec got shotgunned down, and the perpetrator did escape, but we managed to turn it around, thanks to pure luck, as nearly got spaced with Butter Scotch, but they were able to get back up and stun em down.
• What game improvements or changes do you think would benefit security players?
New classification – being a kinetic weapon rather than a laser-based weapon I suppose, just as it makes it similar to the sancai wave gun, being more gimmicky.
It being one of those shotguns, but the barrels are vertical, just so it distinguishes itself from other shotguns (or it could be one of those super shorty ones, with the grip and no buttstock with a small barrel, to make it more police like), but as it is a shotgun you have to open to fire, make it use slugs instead, as in most cases without HoS support, you would run out of that kind of ammo, either there be a new crate as a resupply for the gun and other purposes, that contains some of the shotgun ammo, and just being picky if there were new shells, such as dragons breath rounds, or smoke rounds that just explode into smoke on your position when firing. And if not, the crate then probably giving another side equipment token just to make up for it. And if for lethality sake, had a sensor so that only non-lethal rounds were able to be inserted, unless Emagged or EMP’d
Mainly because it would add variety and open up opportunity for more usage out of a sec gun
or a different variation so it is rechargeable, being a three barrel shotgun, that manufactures its own ammo, so it can be recharged and takes more time to gain its ammo back, but it can rotate its barrel to choose from 3 different types of ammo, obviously none lethal, but possibly slug, smoke and what ever else seems fitting
Answer one or more of the following fun questions (because it's important for the HoS to be fun):
• What's a security gimmick that you've ran or wanted to run?
Although entirely impractical, something along the lines of like Cyberpunk 2077, with the Trauma Team, just make security paid for so only people with a certain module in their PDA is able to call for security and it will notify sec what level it is, and if their insurance covers them to stop the crime
entirely impractical in terms of RP, but it would be interesting as a gang round gimmick or similar
