Non-marine crew: how do you skate under the radar during the round?

[Troika]

We've all been there. The reactors are all set up and purring, the marines have all the toys (and possibly more than) they need, and there's not a broken light in sight. How do you kill time and avoid the attentions of bored MPs while also avoiding being deployed to the planet?

[MidgetSpinner]

Steal alcohol and hide in a dark corner, proceed to get drunk and cry your sorrows away.

[Sargeantmuffinman]

Take all the alcohol from the booze cabinet,
Cry in the showers,
Sob and cry about all the horrors of space 'nam.

[Tidomann]

I hate healing people with 120 toxic damage from melting their kidneys.

[Recounted]

Build a cool fortifacation in maint

[Boltersam]

Loot things and trade them with the Marines for stuff.

[Winter]

Chat at people, build things, play lazer tag with the MPs*.


*They tend to confuse lazer and tazer, so it's very important to clarify.

[misto]

steal guns, try to smuggle extra metal and stuff to marines, make uninformed snarky comments on things over the radio, hope that aliens get loose on the ship for excitements sake

[jusa297]

Play poker and turn millionare.

[DukeOz]

Steal a bottle of booze and challenge someone to a game of blackjack, preferably CL cause its fun to find out what they're plotting.

[Chuckachu]

Help the PO reload his fire support ship. Clean up the ship and hand back the usefull stuff to cargo. Learn to knit online.

If you mean knitting RL, some of us take up the yarn. I've only been at it a couple of years but if you need halp or want some spare yarn to build your stash, just holla.

Or, you can get a deck, and deal to them through a window. Then be brigged for unauthorized magic.

[Troika]

Can disposals pipes be modified on this codebase?

[Heckenshutze]

Well, as a MT I build some dope things like a vanilla ss13 spessmen would do.

[Troika]

New challenge: be an ordinary marine, and avoid leaving the ship for the entire round AND being arrested by an MP.

[misto]

you guys ever notice how most of the maintenance tunnels that run around the outer rim of the almayer dont actually have anything to maintenance

[Troika]

I don't believe squaddies have maintenance access.

[Crab_Spider]

I make it mandatory to recieve surgery if you come into medbay. It gets fun after awhile.

[Moon Tune]

I do this somewhere in maintenance.

or better yet, sit and twiddle your fucking thumbs in an unseen corner of the ship as you realise this challenge is stupid and even if you actively get the MP's to chase you, you aren't doing your job and you are wasting their time with your nonsense

[NGGJamie]

I play MP and walk aimlessly, bullshit with random people. ROs are usually fun to chill with.

Arbiter? You're here too?

I only ever interact with the Cargo department in two ways. Either as the SO pestering them for supplies and usually pleased with their efforts or as a MP investigating them for cardboard box robot suits and other ridiculous things that make me wonder how cargo gets anything done during my SO rounds.
