Additional Information
| Description | SECURITY / ARMORY — COMPARTMENT DETAIL FORWARD ZONE — OFFICE / BRIEFING ROOM One space, two functions, zero redundancy. The security chief's workstation sits against the port bulkhead — security feeds, ship logs, incident reporting, and a direct line to the bridge. The rest of the room is the briefing room. STANDING BRIEFING FORMAT No chairs. Wall-mounted tactical display — starboard bulkhead — handles sensor overlays, boarding schematics, and personnel tracking. Standing room for six to eight if nobody minds being close. A fold-down ledge serves as the only horizontal surface. The standing format is a Maquis inheritance: short meetings, everyone alert, rank doesn't get to settle in and get comfortable. Visiting officers who expect a chair have learned not to mention it twice. CRIS FEED — CLASSIFIED When a CRIS unit is aboard, the tactical display carries a second encrypted feed controlled by the CRIS Unit Commander. The security chief does not have the clearance to read it. The security chief is aware of this arrangement. The security chief has not commented on it officially. AFT ZONE — ARMORY Accessed through an internal hatch in the partition wall. The security chief controls access under normal operations. CO and XO hold emergency override codes. When a CRIS unit is embarked, the Unit Commander's biometric profile is added to the register at the security chief's discretion — in practice, always done, but the discretion is real. The security chief is not required to add the profile. They always do. No one has tested what would happen if they didn't. STANDARD MANIFEST SIDEARMS CDF-issue disruptors plus individually logged personal weapons. The manifest is accurate. Mostly. BOARDING GEAR Breaching tools, handheld shield emitters, magnetic grapples, and cutting equipment. Maintained to operational standard. RESTRAINTS Restraint cuffs and a portable force field emitter for makeshift brig use. The Ada Lovelace has no dedicated brig cell — the corridor outside the security office has been used. MEDKITS 4 kits, standard trauma configuration. Supplement to the infirmary, not a replacement. OFF-MANIFEST — CRIS UNIT CASE (WHEN EMBARKED) A separate secured case — CRIS Unit Commander biometric access only, independent of the main armory lock — is stored in the armory when a unit is embarked. The security chief knows it is there. The security chief does not know what is in it. This has not come up between the security chief and the CRIS Unit Commander in any recorded conversation. |
