The Nanotrasen Representative functions as an advisory role aboard the [[Nanotrasen#Epsilon Eridani Holdings|station]]. As the Nanotrasen Representative, you are to be chiefly concerned with the operations of the command staff aboard the station, ensuring that they follow the reasonable and appropriate procedure.
== Standard Operating Procedure [[File:Book.png|32px]] ==


PPPPPFFFFFFFFFF
Standard Operating Procedure is your friend and your greatest asset as a Nanotrasen Representative. Make sure you are familiar with it and the general procedures surrounding command staff.
== Quick Overview ==


The NanoTrasen Representative is a [[Karma System|Karma]] unlocked job that is currently priced at 30 Karma. As an NT Rep you must make sure everything is up to NanoTrasen standards, '''and you SHOULD give CentComm regular updates via your fax machine'''.  
See [[Standard Operating Procedure]], [[Standard Operating Procedure (Command)]], [[Chain of Command]] and [[Space Law]].


You have no authority over any of the heads of staff, and report to the [[Captain]] in most cases, but in special cases CentComm may grant you authority to take action on the station if you give them proper reasons to via fax. However, you are one of the highest ranked non-head of staff.
== Overview [[File:Ntflag.png|32px]]==
The Nanotrasen Representative is required to make sure that the company's goals and interests are being represented and furthered upon the station, and that the Captain and their immediate subordinates (The Heads of Staff) are not putting the interests of Nanotrasen at risk. You may also be required to be an impartial mediator in trials, typically serving as legal counsel and defence for an accused crew member.


Much like IAA, you are sent as oversight for the station. However, unlike IAA, you are to be more proactive in putting forth NanoTrasen's interests. You most likely were a head of staff before being given this role, or even a Captain who is taking a bit of a break.
It is important to note that the Nanotrasen Representative has no formal authority on the station whatsoever. The position of Nanotrasen Representative is '''only an advisory role''' and you are not permitted to directly intercede in the affairs of the Captain or the Heads of Staff '''unless you have explicit permission from Central Command'''. You are however required to note and advise on activities that run counter to either Nanotrasen's interests or to established [[Standard Operating Procedure]] for members of Command, as well as report to Central Command via fax if your concerns are going unaddressed.


== Play Style ==
== The Pen is Mightier Than The Cane [[File:Pen.png|32px]]==
The NT Rep is a role that revolves around assessing the station and sending reports to CentComm, much like Internal Affairs, but focused on keeping '''EVERYTHING''' that could damage the NT's economy or their profits aboard the NSS Cyberiad.
Your fax machine is your greatest, and perhaps only, friend aboard the [[Nanotrasen#Epsilon Eridani Holdings|station]]. It functions as the intermediary between you and Central Command and should be used in a manner befitting of your station. Upon your arrival on the station, you should announce your presence to all members of Command. You should also take stock of the current situation aboard the [[Nanotrasen#Epsilon Eridani Holdings|station]], note any deficiencies (or lack thereof) in the Command Team or station itself, and make a summary report to send back to Central Command.


Given the nature of NT Rep's job, it's also a '''highly RP oriented job'''. You should not be assuming direct control of any department without authorization from CentComm (In fact, you can't), nor should you be doing that department's job (You're just the friendly NT adviser... until Central Command gives you the POWER to rule those pesky crewmembers).
As your position is largely an advisory one, you should reserve sending faxes regarding minor discrepancies in Command procedure until you have already advised the Head of Staff or Captain regarding the situation. You should always attempt to ameliorate the issue at hand first before faxing Central Command, and only send a fax when your advice goes unheeded or corrective action is not taken. If, however, the violation is severe and is putting the interests of Nanotrasen at immediate risk, you are advised to send a fax to Central Command about the manner immediately.


You are quite an asset to the heads, and most likely will work with the HoP in paperwork and HR related activities. But you might be a science adviser, security consultant, etc. That's where your character's history comes into play!
It is also your duty as an NT Rep to ensure that you are appraised of any active threat aboard the station, and subsequently inform Central Command of its presence if they are unaware of the situation at hand. Central Command won't be aware of threats if no announcements are made, or if the alert levels haven't been raised. Whether or not you are proactive within accurately and aptly reporting on active threats aboard the station can be the difference between receiving an Amber, Red, or Gamma ERT in an emergency.
== Jobtime! ==
Well, now let's jump to the fun part.


'''WAIT!'''
Your reports should be concise, to the point, and bear both your stamp and your signature. You should be both cordial and succinct with your advice to Command and in your faxes. For formatting tools that you can utilize, see the [[paperwork|Guide to Paperwork]].


Before setting on your fancy cane and starting a coup d'etat with the [[Blueshield Officer]] against the Captain, you should really write a starting report to CC(Also called Admins) to alert them that you're a good, hardworking, and even friendly NT Rep that works for their Greater Good! (A.K.A. Increasing your paycheck and gaining even more power).
'''You should never threaten to send a fax to Central Command. Your job is to advise Command, not intimidate them or abuse your position. If the situation is so dire as to warrant you threatening Command with fax, doing so can put you in direct danger and prevent you from sending the fax in the first place (which runs counter to NT's interests). A maligned or incompetent Captain is more likely to try and arrest you if you're threatening them than allow you to send a fax to Central Command.'''


Besides that, you should '''really''' do a starting report alerting CC about everything that seems different from the usual, exemplar, utopian shift they would love to see, even from the very start.
== Internal Affairs and YOU! [[file:Ia consultant.png|32px]]==
The Nanotrasen Representative - unlike the Legal Department/Internal Affairs - is not to concern themselves with the daily squabbles and complaints of crewmembers. You have been sent to the station as oversight for the command team and should direct any lesser complaints to an Internal Affairs Agent unless it meets one of the following criteria;
* There is no available Internal Affairs Agent or Human Resources Agent.
* Internal Affairs/Command were unable to resolve the issue at hand.
* The matter concerns a Head of Staff, the Blueshield, or the Captain.
* The matter is egregious and runs counter to Nanotrasen's interests.


After that, wait for about two or three minutes to get a response (If you sent an important report) or go wherever you want if you start-reported (They generally won't respond to the initial one, but they are appreciated.)
== Procedure [[File:Documents.png|32px]]==
Once you arrive at the station and apprise yourself of the situation, you should actively monitor communications and the activities of the Heads of Staff. While the following does not necessarily cover all scenarios, it should give you concrete examples of how the Nanotrasen representative should act and conduct themselves aboard the [[Nanotrasen#Epsilon Eridani Holdings|station]].


Usually you will be running around the Cyberiad 'inspecting' the Bar or Hydroponics from the inside, talking about how powerful and sexy NT is, listening to the complaints of the other crewmembers about the fact that the NT is a greedy bastard capitalistic corporation, etc.
'''Upon discovering a potential violation of Standard Operating Procedure, or an existing one;'''
* Take note of the situation, and address it with the offending member of command.
* Do not immediately send a fax to Central Command, or threaten to do so at any point.
* Advice on the appropriate procedure regarding the situation and try to resolve the issue locally.
* Remain appraised on whether or not the offending person has taken corrective action, and if SoP is now being followed.
* Fax Central Command if your advice has gone unheeded or corrective action has not been taken.
* Stand-by for further instruction from Central Command.


Seems boring?
'''Upon witnessing an action that is directly and immediately counter to NT's interests, such as the Captain flagrantly violating Space Law;'''
Most of the times your job is like this...
* Do not attempt to ameliorate or address the issue with the offending persons.
* Draft a report with all relevant details. Ensure that you stamp and sign it.
* Immediately fax Central Command and stand-by for further instruction.


'''BUT!'''
'''Upon discovering a major or immediate threat to the [[Nanotrasen#Epsilon Eridani Holdings|station]], such as a tactical nuclear strike team;'''
* Take note of the situation at hand and all relevant details.
* Record your observations in a signed, stamped, and written report.
* Immediately fax your report to Central Command with an identifiable title.
* Proceed to a secure area and stand-by for further instruction from Central Command.


There's always a moment into the shift when the Shit Hits The Fan!
'''Upon the permanent death or subversion of the Captain;'''
* Ensure the [[Chain of Command|procedure]] is being followed. The Head of Personnel should become Acting Captain.
* In absence of the HoP, the Head of Security should take up the mantle of Captaincy.
* If both the HoS and HoP are unavailable, the CMO, CE, QM, and RD are to jointly run the station or vote on Acting Captain.
* Fax Central Command and inform them about the permanent loss/subversion of their Captain.


And in that moment, you start sparkling like a little sun!
'''Upon being brought a complaint that does not concern a Command member;'''
* Direct the person to an Internal Affairs Agent, unless the previously mentioned criteria are met.


In fact, your job requires that you report to CentComm everything that goes against their plans, and when something goes against their plans inside the NSS Cyberiad, you should take a look at it or listen to the chatters you hear about it, report it to CentComm, maybe write some of your thoughts into your report and '''Tadà!''', time to act!
== FAQ [[File:Paper bin.png|32px]]==
'''Q:''' Is it really that important to sign '''and''' stamp your reports?


For example, if the situation is bad, you could ask for the ERT, specifying even the kind of ERT you need, or ask for the Quarantine Law for the AI, require some support from the Main Base - such as extra hardsuits, Goats for Space Vines, etc.
'''A:''' An unsigned or unstamped report is not an official one. Subsequently, Central Command is likely to ignore your report (or worse!) if they can't verify it's you sending it.


That's when you really start loving your job.


== The Bureaucracy, The Crew and You ==
'''Q:''' What should my reports contain?


Yes, yes, I know what you're thinking, but being a NT Rep you should deal even with this kind of problems, mainly because your rank is even higher than the IAA's!
'''A:''' Your report should contain any information that's pertinent to the matter at hand, along with the specific procedure that's being violated or concrete examples of why the activity actively harms the interests of Nanotrasen. If possible, though not required, you may also include pictures or audio transcripts when relevant. While you should include your recommendations in the report, do not attempt to boss Central Command around. Your reports should be concise and be signed and stamped. A well-written, one paragraph report is more likely to see substantive action taken than a six-paragraph monologue will.


And this means that you should think twice before reporting some ''supposed'' case of 'shitcurity', because your report goes straight to the Admins, and they could assume that you have already did some kind of investigation (YOU DID IT, RIGHT?). Always make sure to check your facts before sending a fax.
Remember that unless some intervention is actually required, do not ask for it. NT expect you know [[Standard Operating Procedure]]. Asking them what to do if security are harmbatoning people is not required. Asking what to do if the HoS is claiming the Captain is a changeling though, is.


'''This is Your Friendly Shinju Moku No Kami here, and today I will teach you how to be a Super NT Rep loved by the Crew AND the Heads!'''
'''Q:''' When should I fax?


Here I will write what a good NT Rep SHOULD and SHOULDN'T do, follow it and you will be ok!
'''A:''' You should fax whenever you are unable to resolve an issue locally when you are unsure of how to proceed, or when there is a major or immediate threat to Nanotrasen's interests/the station itself.


== Do And Don't Of The Good NT Rep ==


'''DO!'''
'''Q:''' Does the Nanotrasen Representative have any formal authority over anyone on the station?
* '''Remain Impartial.''' You are an external advisor, first and foremost. This may impact your social life more than being a xeno, but you are required by your job to put aside emotional attachment to any particular crewmember in order to work well in the name of NT!
* '''Follow Procedure.''' NanoTrasen upholds a [[Standard Operating Procedure]] which should be followed at all times...
* '''Trust the Facts.''' Acting on allegations is an easy way to get you fired (And Banned...). Make sure you have ENOUGH evidence before you report something that could get someone jobbanned or tempbanned.


'''A:''' No, the Nanotrasen Representative is an advisory role focused around procedure and roleplay. The only time you can exercise formal authority is when you have been authorized to do so, or every member of command is dead (at which point you are the de-facto Acting Captain and should be evacuating the station).


'''DON'T!'''
* '''Do Not Threaten Someone With Your Reports.''' While a well written and condemning report can lead to someone's demotion, contract termination, or TOTAL termination, it's not your job to wave it around like some kind of weapon. Security actually has weapons and, if you invite them to present said weapons to you acting like a pretty princess(Arrogant Bastard) they will do it with pleasure and without thinking twice about it.
* '''Do Not Be The Security Volunteer''' Criminals and other threats to the station are under the purview of the Security, not yours, if you wanted to act as a Security member why have you chosen the NT Rep job?
* '''Do Not Be The Proactive Detective''' Have a legitimate suspicion to start an incriminating report before you attempt to do so. Consulting a head of staff or the co-workers for more information about the subject is always a good idea when you have decided to act.


And remember: '''NEVER TAKE A SIDE UNLESS IT'S NANOTRANSEN'S SIDE'''!
'''Q:''' I've heard that the Nanotrasen Representative is the Blueshield's boss. Is this true?


== Question and Answers! ==
'''A:''' Whilst the Blueshield is technically subordinate to the Nanotrasen Representative, they do not have to report to or listen to you. However, any complaints about the Blueshield should be directed toward you rather than Internal Affairs. If a serious issue with the Blueshield occurs, you should fax Central Command. You should never attempt to discipline the Blueshield.


'''Q: '''''Shinju, what should be in a good NT Rep report?''


'''A: '''Everything that could possibly harm the NT's Interests in that Station...if you're in doubt - Report It!
'''Q:''' Can I perform an arrest if a member of Command is seriously out of line?


'''A:''' not unless Central Command '''explicitly''' gives you the personal authority to do so. For example, if you are given the go-ahead to have the Captain arrested you '''must''' work with the Security Department and have either the Head of Security or a Security Officer conduct the arrest.


'''Q: '''''Shinju, what should I do if the Station is filled with Xeno scum and Plasma?''


'''A: '''The real question is why the hell haven't you called an ERT when one of the said things showed up and you instead waited for both to appear?
'''Q:''' Can I order Internal Affairs Agents around on cases?


'''A:''' No. IAAs are in no way, shape, or form subordinate to you. It may, however, be a good idea to work in concert with the Internal Affairs department if the matter is serious, or they have additional information regarding the incident.


'''Q: '''''Shinju, CentCom never answer to my reports,what should I do?''


'''A: '''Well,just wait!
'''Q:''' Can you give me an example of a typical fax a NanoTrasen Representative might send?
The Admins always read them, and you should remember that they have a lot of things to do, not just answering reports!


Also remember, writing a good reply takes a lot of time, and if people are currently griefing, or there is a bug to fix, they might not have time. Resending it in 5 minutes is fine.

Good Afternoon Command,


'''A: '''... Houston, we have a problem here.


At approximately 12:57 the Captain - Com Dominus - made an announcement advising the crew that he was recruiting a personal militia known as the "King's Guard". After the Head of Security and I advised him that such an action was not befitting of their station and was strictly prohibited (as we already have a Blueshield), he proceeded to ignore us and used their newly promoted "King's Guard" to arrest and demote the Head of Security for questioning their authority.


'''Q: '''''Shinju, do you have some tips for a newbie that wants to be a NT Rep?''


'''A: '''Yes, you should always report what you think needs to be reported, never mess with the Heads, you're a part of CentComm, but being a dick isn't part of the job and it's against the rules!
As the Captain has not only gone against the vested interests of NanoTrasen but has also unduly demoted the Head of Security, which is in direct contravention of Standard Operating Procedure (stating he must have a reasonable justification for demotions), I am personally recommending that he be immediately reprimanded and removed from the position of Captain. I am also recommending that the Head of Security has their position reinstated immediately and that the HoP be promoted to Acting Captain.
Also, you should be nice and friendly when you're inspecting and doing a general report of a Department, this will help you to get more positive results!
In the end, you should act as a Sort-Of In-game Moderator, without the powers, the ModChat and other nice things, and, last but not least always remember the Golden Law:


'''A BAD NT REP IS A BANNED NT REP!'''

== What About Being An Antagonist? ==
 
Yes, you can be some kind of antagonist, surely not a cultist or a Syndicate member, but you can be a [[Vampire]],a [[Blob]] or even a [[Changeling]] nearly above every suspicion!

CentComm Dignitaries

The Nanotrasen Representative functions as an advisory role aboard the station. As the Nanotrasen Representative, you are to be chiefly concerned with the operations of the command staff aboard the station, ensuring that they follow the reasonable and appropriate procedure.

Standard Operating Procedure Book.png

Standard Operating Procedure is your friend and your greatest asset as a Nanotrasen Representative. Make sure you are familiar with it and the general procedures surrounding command staff.

See Standard Operating Procedure, Standard Operating Procedure (Command), Chain of Command and Space Law.

Overview Ntflag.png

The Nanotrasen Representative is required to make sure that the company's goals and interests are being represented and furthered upon the station, and that the Captain and their immediate subordinates (The Heads of Staff) are not putting the interests of Nanotrasen at risk. You may also be required to be an impartial mediator in trials, typically serving as legal counsel and defence for an accused crew member.

It is important to note that the Nanotrasen Representative has no formal authority on the station whatsoever. The position of Nanotrasen Representative is only an advisory role and you are not permitted to directly intercede in the affairs of the Captain or the Heads of Staff unless you have explicit permission from Central Command. You are however required to note and advise on activities that run counter to either Nanotrasen's interests or to established Standard Operating Procedure for members of Command, as well as report to Central Command via fax if your concerns are going unaddressed.

The Pen is Mightier Than The Cane Pen.png

Your fax machine is your greatest, and perhaps only, friend aboard the station. It functions as the intermediary between you and Central Command and should be used in a manner befitting of your station. Upon your arrival on the station, you should announce your presence to all members of Command. You should also take stock of the current situation aboard the station, note any deficiencies (or lack thereof) in the Command Team or station itself, and make a summary report to send back to Central Command.

As your position is largely an advisory one, you should reserve sending faxes regarding minor discrepancies in Command procedure until you have already advised the Head of Staff or Captain regarding the situation. You should always attempt to ameliorate the issue at hand first before faxing Central Command, and only send a fax when your advice goes unheeded or corrective action is not taken. If, however, the violation is severe and is putting the interests of Nanotrasen at immediate risk, you are advised to send a fax to Central Command about the manner immediately.

It is also your duty as an NT Rep to ensure that you are appraised of any active threat aboard the station, and subsequently inform Central Command of its presence if they are unaware of the situation at hand. Central Command won't be aware of threats if no announcements are made, or if the alert levels haven't been raised. Whether or not you are proactive within accurately and aptly reporting on active threats aboard the station can be the difference between receiving an Amber, Red, or Gamma ERT in an emergency.

Your reports should be concise, to the point, and bear both your stamp and your signature. You should be both cordial and succinct with your advice to Command and in your faxes. For formatting tools that you can utilize, see the Guide to Paperwork.

You should never threaten to send a fax to Central Command. Your job is to advise Command, not intimidate them or abuse your position. If the situation is so dire as to warrant you threatening Command with fax, doing so can put you in direct danger and prevent you from sending the fax in the first place (which runs counter to NT's interests). A maligned or incompetent Captain is more likely to try and arrest you if you're threatening them than allow you to send a fax to Central Command.

Internal Affairs and YOU! Ia consultant.png

The Nanotrasen Representative - unlike the Legal Department/Internal Affairs - is not to concern themselves with the daily squabbles and complaints of crewmembers. You have been sent to the station as oversight for the command team and should direct any lesser complaints to an Internal Affairs Agent unless it meets one of the following criteria;

  • There is no available Internal Affairs Agent or Human Resources Agent.
  • Internal Affairs/Command were unable to resolve the issue at hand.

While the following does not necessarily cover all scenarios, it should give you concrete examples of how the Nanotrasen representative should act and conduct themselves aboard the station.

Upon discovering a potential violation of Standard Operating Procedure, or an existing one;

  • Take note of the situation, and address it with the offending member of command.
  • Do not immediately send a fax to Central Command, or threaten to do so at any point.
  • Advice on the appropriate procedure regarding the situation and try to resolve the issue locally.

  • Immediately fax Central Command and stand-by for further instruction.

Upon discovering a major or immediate threat to the station, such as a tactical nuclear strike team;

  • Take note of the situation at hand and all relevant details.
  • Record your observations in a signed, stamped, and written report.
  • Immediately fax your report to Central Command with an identifiable title.
  • Proceed to a secure area and stand-by for further instruction from Central Command.

Upon the permanent death or subversion of the Captain;

  • Ensure the procedure is being followed. The Head of Personnel should become Acting Captain.

  • Fax Central Command and inform them about the permanent loss/subversion of their Captain.

Upon being brought a complaint that does not concern a Command member;

  • Direct the person to an Internal Affairs Agent, unless the previously mentioned criteria are met.

Round-Start antagonists are ineligible to be matched to the job of Nanotrasen Representative.

Note that if you are selected as antag, but your character's job preferences are set such that the round is unable to match you to any available non-mindshielded job, you will be instead be returned to the lobby, and the antag role will be assigned to another player.

As a mindshielded crew member, you cannot be converted into an antagonist through thralling, unless you have lost your mindshield implant, either to cloning or surgical removal. If, however, you are somehow unshielded, thralled, and then re-implanted with a mindshield, you will remain thralled.
