The following is required reading for all personnel aboard the vessel 'Moira':

OFFICIAL EVACUATION PROCEDURES

1. When Evacuation Alarm sounds, broadcast your current position then proceed immediately to follow appropriate evacuation route as proscribed in Appendix A, B, or C.

2a. Upon reaching Primary Evacuation Point (Observation Deck), contact Evacuation Officer (Cyclonus) to note you arrival, then board an Emergency Escape Unit (EEU).

Escape units will not be launched until fully occupied, or minimum safe launch time has been reached.

2b. If access to Primary Evacuation Point is blocked, then proceed to nearest Secondary Evacuation Point (emergency escape hatch), as indicated in Appendix B. Before exiting the ship, inform Evacuation Officer of your current position and intent.

If exiting the ship with additional personnel, please maintain physical contact to provide a large target for retrieval.

2c. Personnel who are too large for the EEUs or escape hatches should proceed to the Cargo Bay by the routes outlined in Appendix C.

DO NOT proceed to the Cargo Bay otherwise, unless arrangements are made to ensure that both a pilot and a vehicle are available for evacuation purposes.

2d. If you find yourself incapable of evacuation, contact Evacuation Officer with your current location immediately.

3. Upon reaching a safe location, broadcast any hazards encountered on your route, identifying both location and type.

4. In the event of loss of appropriate atmosphere, protective equipment has been provided at all Secondary Evacuation Points, as well as other strategic locations around the ship. See Appendix D.

[Afformentioned Appendices with the various maps go here]



In addition, I wish to speak with the MID programmers aboard. I have been given permission to develop an 'emergency mode' for the MIDs, which will provide the following:
- detailed emergency alerts
- guided escape routes
- active maps that personnel may update with encountered hazards. Guided routes will be recalculated accordingly.

The following feature would be critical to maximum evacuation success, but must be voted upon by the crew:
- emergency beacon: the MID will broadcast its current location to evacuation staff while in emergency mode.

Should the MID emergency software include an emergency beacon function?

You're not planning on drilling us on this are you?
I feel like that's something you'd do.

[tsunclonus]

Yes.

[Blunt, succinct, and honest.]

If you listen closely you can hear me groaning loudly

[Not that Cyclonus can, seeing as Tailgate is currently in the cargo bay.]

oh well better you than magnus
you're the lesser evil here

[tsunclonus]

I should ask Ultra Magnus for suggestions...

[lets_see_what_happens]

I think this is an excellent idea, provided there is a limited, detailed, and public list of individuals who would have access to the MID locations and the authority to declare a state of emergency in the first place. I assume the Captains and Evacuation Officer and staff, but I think an official list is not an unfair request.

[tsunclonus]

Limited access would be understandable. The purpose would be to provide information to potential rescuers, so there is no reason for anyone other than the command staff and emergency response personnel to gave access to it.

Succinct, and to the point. It all looks good to me.

Here's hoping we never have to use it.

TEXT

[tsunclonus]

I would not trust in that hope.

[The Moira has been less troubled than the Lost Light, but give it time. Especially now that Rodimus is aboard.]

[squadgoals]

Do you know if it's ever been used?

[petridish]

Interesting. Usually our evacuations are off a planet, not off the ship, but better to have this ready.

Let's do it. Escape routes and hazard maps can be built into the existing map and MPS functions.

text

[tsunclonus]

Excellent. Given the... resistance of some to reading regulation, it will be useful to have the MIDs simply tell them what to do when necessary.

argh sorry

[petridish]

Exactly. We might even be able to pull the voice from the library app to screech at them if they're really taking their time.

[... was that... a joke? or serious??]

[whoami]

...you DO realize that a vacuum is pretty unforgiving, right? I'd be more worried about the "explosive" part of "explosive decompression".

[tsunclonus]

I am aware that many organics do not do well without an atmosphere. That is what the protective equipment, the 'space suits' are for.

Otherwise, if you are caught in an explosive decompression event, I imagine you will have already evacuated the ship.

[That second paragraph there is Cyclonus's dry sense of humor rearing its ugly head.]

[whoami]

[ A wise ass walks among us. ]

Well, if you already have all that, what did you want with the MID crew?
