Heliostatic Coalition departmental secretary says: "Greetings %STATION, this is the Whisper of Serenity patrol vessel. The Heliostatic Coalition is conducting routine safety inspections in this sector, with a focus on %FOCUS. We would like to offer your station a voluntary inspection to ensure compliance with Coalition safety standards. Participation is completely optional, and stations that volunteer receive a complimentary funding package. Please let us know if you would like to schedule an inspection. Heliostatic Coalition departmental secretary out." |
The Heliostatic Coalition Expeditionary Patrol is a random station event that rolls, optionally spawning a spaceship with several Heliostatic Coalition envoys. First, the station's Communications Console is pinged with a request to inspect, which the bridge must proactively accept for the ship to spawn in. There is no penalty for rejecting this request, and a significant payout for accepting it. Thus, the inspectors derive a good deal of authority to be aboard the station through that active choice that someone on the Bridge made. Unlike Pirates, who derive their authority to be aboard the station through violence and guile.
They spawn with three papers detailing their job on their ship, mirrored below, as well as a few sheets of Paperwork pre-printed for their use.
The SOP goes into detail about the purpose of these inspectors, primarily "to ensure and protect the interests of the coalition government at the facilities defined by agreements on interaction and cooperation". In short, inspecting the Station because it is near Heliostatic territory, with vague but not absolute permission from SolFed or Nanotrasen, with a special focus on the use of Bluespace Artillery, which SolFed or Nanotrasen may have vaguely promised not to use near the HC.
Your primary duty is to the Heliostatic Coalition. This inspection is a right granted by treaty, not a request. Be firm, professional, and by-the-book. Trust must be earned, and violations of procedure are to be met with immediate challenges and elevated alert statuses. Your ship contains your SOP documents; consult them for rules of engagement, contraband categories, and Bluespace Artillery countermeasures. OOC Note: Your objectives are narrative guides for creating collaborative roleplay. They are not mechanical 'greentext' goals. Focus on the experience. If you have a creative idea for a gimmick or story direction, communicating with the admins and other players is encouraged.
Objectives
They spawn with various objectives, but these are meant as narrative guides for creating collaborative roleplay rather than firm greentext wincons. These starters include but are not limited to:
- Safety Inspection - "Conduct a voluntary safety inspection of the station. Delegate responsibilities among the inspection team. Maintain professional and courteous demeanor at all times."
- Inspect Area - "Inspect certain department for safety compliance. Provide constructive feedback and recommendations."
- Safety Survey - "Conduct a safety survey over [survey_area] department. Gather feedback from staff and identify potential safety concerns."
- Secure Hazardous Materials - "Secure potentially hazardous materials for safekeeping or disposal." (Find n pieces of contraband)
- Remain Docked - "Dock to the station to conduct the inspection. Remain in the sector until the inspection is complete."
