Welcome aboard the Starship Avalon. Although you're not a military member of our crew we still consider you as a full fledged crew member. Thank you for giving of yourself. There is no cadet requirement for servers as you will simply begin your job and learn most of what you need to know on the job.

Advancement in your job is done through time served and dedication. The Commanding Officer of the vessel receives a recommendation from the Morale Master and then issues the promotion.

As a Science Cadet you fall under the Science division and, as such, will be wearing a Science cadet uniform for the duration of your cadet training. Please set the following configuration for your character:

Crew Support Uniform

Species: Feline or Canine Badge - Sun Yellow Bracers - White Boots - Black Cape - * Trousers - White Vest - Black

* Local Species Cross training Armbands
Departmental Colors
Command/Flight = Red
Engineering/Operations = Yellow
Medical/Science = Blue
Takimora Marine Core = Green
No Cross Training/Intelligence = Black

Messages

Starship Avalon has a state of the art duty comm system.  Rather then having to find out who's running a station/section at a particular moment you simply whisper our comm system and it will determine whom to send the whisper to.  Below is the list of prefixes and an example of how the message system works.

/comm <prefix> <msg> (ex: /comm XO Finished the task sir.)

Logging In

When you arrive at a duty station such as the helm and are the senior helm officer you would either relieve the operator or take control of the station.  To do this whisper comm:

/comm LOGIN <prefix> (ex: /comm login XO)

Note: Positions such ESF and Chief Engineer don't have a particular station.  As such they may log in anywhere on the ship.  Positions with a station like helm should be AT the station so as to be able to take commands when issued.

Logging Out

When you have completed your duties and are going off duty or have to leave the station please log out by whispering comm:

/comm LOGOUT <prefix> (ex: /comm logout XO)

Onduty Check

If you'd like to see who's onduty at what station whisper comm:

/comm ONDUTY

Public Address System

In the event of emergency or required use you may use the comm bot to make a shipwide announcement.  To do this whisper comm:

/comm PA <msg> (ex: /comm PA Medical Emergency in Shuttlebay!)

NOTE: Abusing this feature (or any other feature in Starship Avalon) will result in disciplinary action.  If you abuse it seriously enough you will be immediately removed from membership and forbidden to reapply on ANY characters.

Bridge Emit

In order to facilitate communications on the bridge the bot will emit any conversation not in []s to the entire bridge crew.  As such Bridge conversation should be longer posts rather then a series of short posts and OOC conversation is restricted to []s  Off topic short posts can use [] as well and private conversation can use [] as the bot will not auto-emit this.  (NOTE: Conversation is ONLY emitted to the bridge unlike the PA system which is shipwide.)

Conclusion

The Comm system is mainly for finding out who's onduty and messaging the senior staff member onduty in a particular area and emitting bridge material.  PLEASE do not overload the bot as it will lock it out from being able to be used by members and result in disciplinary action.  If you have a large series of commands to give it please wait a second or two between commands.  Thanks.

The following flow chart shows who you're supposed to talk to and in what order. Ideally you want to speak to the person directly above you. You might find yourself not having anyone by the XO or CO to speak to if no one in your division is on. At this point TRY to figure it out yourself. If you absolutely can't and it's urgent send a message to the 3IC to at least show you TRIED to go through the chain.

Crew Support Division
	Morale Master
	Senior Server
	Junior Server

Being a Junior Server you would follow the above chart you would speak to a Senior Server then the Morale Master if you had any questions.

If you ask a Senior Server and they don't know their job is to ask the Morale Master, and so on. The information would then be filtered down the chain so everyone who didn't know would now know.

Above this chain is the divisional chain of command. You, being a Junior Server, should avoid even straying into this chain as "it's way above your paygrade".
