ROLE — SECURITY PATROL 🔦
SECURITY PATROL
welcome, crewmate shu.
Early in the day on TUESDAY, Shu will hear the familiar ping of the I.R.I.S. at his wrist; the moment that he lifts up his hand to check what the noise is for, a window immediately pops up. The projection fills in a spread of blue, and a message sent only to his designation loads in the window.
I have something of a job for you. Pick a location to set up an off-network camera, to catch anything in the area; if the system is going to pull a stunt on us again, we can certainly work smarter, not harder.
If it does, meet me in the morning after the lockdown ends. I've updated some of your credentials so you should be able to get up before anyone else. We can go get the camera, maybe squeeze in a second location before we have to lock down everything and everyone's awake.

ADRASTEA
Come FRIDAY, early in the morning, a message notification sounds again. It's loud enough that it rouses him from a very groggy sleep before anyone else. No one else even twitches at the sound or the blue light, and there's nobody in the halls the moment Shu steps outside, so might as well head to the location that pops up - right?
It indicates where Shu needs to go to meet Adrastea. The walk there is eerie, and lit only by the emergency lights of the ship - a sickly, golden orange in a strip that barely brightens the dark corners. The senior officer can be found easily there, spinning something almost absently around one finger, the other hand cupping their elbow. Once Shu is close enough, they stop spinning the item in their possession and instead toss it at him for him to catch.
It's a flashlight, one with a strap on the end. Huh. Pretty useful, considering the darkness that surrounds them.
Adrastea taps a flashlight of their own against their shoulder, something serious but enigmatic in their filtered voice as their helmet remains blank, only a faint, cool blue glow just barely visible from within. "Let's go."

RULES
As the role responsible for security patrols, along with the information that is acquired on patrol, Shu is expected to follow a few rules:
1. For now, keep your new designation a secret. Should this designation be shared with anyone without prior authorization, consequences and termination of position are possible. This can be revisited at a later date.
↳ As of w2, you can share your role with ONE non-role person.
2. You may use your knowledge during trial to guide, suggest, or prioritize investigations. If you otherwise distribute any information acquired, it must be done anonymously or without referencing the true source. This can be revisited at a later date.
3. Each week, Security Patrol can do the following:
📹 A. one location can be chosen on Tuesday; this location is where the role can place a video camera, completely separate from the Eudora's system, which is tamperproof and will remain hidden until retrieved.
↳ As of w3, you can place TWO cameras in separate locations.
🔎 B. a second location can be chosen Friday, with two chances to pick again if your choice doesn't get a hit; this is the location which can be investigated before the curfew lockdown is lifted and crime scenes are marked restricted areas prior to being locked down.
Currently, junior crew capsules require a valid explanation as to why you want to check or monitor them, and senior crew capsules are off limits. Anywhere else that has been unlocked on the Eudora is fair game.
4. While patrolling on Friday before lockdown lifts, 1 piece of evidence can be retrieved from the location that you visit. Choose wisely.
↳ As of w3, there is a chance to increase this to TWO pieces of evidence depending on the investigation.
☠️ If Security Patrol finds a dead body, this does not count towards the pieces of evidence that can be retrieved, regardless of whether it's physically located or found in their video log. Adrastea will ensure that the body is brought to trial first thing to give the crew a head start.
5. Once you have completed your patrol, you can choose whether to share the recording (if there is one) anonymously on the public network. If you share it privately, the source of it cannot be revealed at this time.

Just start your own system? But if you have to hook it up to the electronics here and there isn’t a legitimate reason — like the one you’ve cooked up for this whole scenario — isn’t it gonna be pretty obvious someone’s up to something? Unless you have [ what’s it. ] those protections to stop outsiders getting into your systems. Firewalls?
[ me remembering once more how i was gonna place the tech guy but life Got Me. ]
… [ he shrugs. ] Are they in on all this too? If so, you could send someone you trust where I’m going if an extra set of eyes helps. Otherwise, I’ll just keep a note of who shows up in the same place I do.
[ senior staff in the wild, what will they do? ] Alright. Although, who knows. Maybe this is all paranoia and over planning on our part. [ he is not optimistic enough to believe that. ]
no subject
Mm, that's why it's probably going to be a slow process. [ annoyance about that ] I have to figure out what precautions can be taken to ensure it's just you and me for now. I haven't risked telling the other seven, not yet, but they'll already be on the lookout for things. You can probably fish them for information if you find yourself in the same places.
It's not that I think they're responsible for this, mind you, but more that it's easier to stay off the grid if fewer people know for now.
[ they reach out and tap on the counter, to summon up drinks for the both of them even if they're technically on the clock. ]
Wouldn't that be wonderful, O'Keefe.
no subject
Fair enough. The smaller an operation, the less people there are to screw it over.
[ he'll keep his ear to the ground and see if anyone slips up with some information they shouldn't know. but-- oh. drinks. he's not gonna argue with some work drinking.
he'll lift his glass for them to clinky clink. cheers. ]
Wonderful. Unlikely. Similar words.
no subject
Exactly. I've worked with them long enough to know the way they think, and while they'd take it seriously... well, I prefer working on my own when it comes to the things that really matter.
[ no one to mess it up if it's just you doing the job!
they clinky clink, getting one of the skinny stirrer straws so they can drink. ]
Very similar. Might actually be listed as synonyms in the dictionary, actually.
no subject
Too many cooks otherwise.
[ clink clink. ]
So, we expect some kind of bullshit, we're just not sure if it's going to benign or a repeat of this last weekend. That's the assumption we're working with right now.
no subject
Too many cooks. We already have enough of them.
[ dryly, but they go quiet as they consider that, taking a drink. ]
That is probably the safest assumption to be making, yes. And I'd rather be overprepared than underprepared as we have so woefully been thus far.
no subject
...
What are you going to do if access is blocked at other points again? Figure out another way around the block?
no subject
We have to keep moving forward, even if the path is a more unconventional one. I won't stop until we figure out what's happening here or die trying. And that risk is worth it to me.
no subject
… [ hmmm. ] Extreme. But thorough. [ sips his drink. ] If I die, I die, that’s just how it is. If this does turn into something that isn’t a one off, or it does get that dangerous, you should probably keep someone in mind to take over if I do.
no subject
[ considering what they've managed to glean about his life from the profile and just having spent this much time with him so far. ]
But I'll keep it in mind. And if something happens to me, you keep going. Reach out to one of the other officers if you need to.
no subject
[ unfortunately, he is just like this. ]
Who do you trust the most, out of all the others?
no subject
... Europa. I trust them all well enough, but for as standoffish as they can come off, I trust them the most.
no subject
... Mm. That's someone I haven't spoken to. And the least?
no subject
Callisto. They've been different.
no subject
Different? How? They seemed unwilling to talk about much when I spoke to them, but— [ how to say ‘that just feels like a callisto vibe’ without actually saying it. ]
no subject
[ less of a bitch. ]
no subject
[ he does not.
think this is why. ]
