RSS Affinity Escape Pods

The Escape pods are the primary route off the ship in the event of an emergency. This area is to always be kept clear. No items can be stored or placed here for any amount of time. When personnel are working here, their tools and supplies must be with them at all times. When they leave, they must take everything with them. If any item is left there, then Security will promptly pick it up and bring it to their office. Security feeds will be reviewed to find the perpetrator and this will lead to disciplinary action to be decided by the appropriate Department Head, Division Lead, or Senior Staff.

The pods have the capability to withstand Moderately volatile atmospheres without significant damage and land with the cargo intact. Light energy shields protect against severe electrical storms. Each pod is able to be controlled and operate for a continuous 5 hours. After this, life support shuts down operations in order to keep oxygen and air conditioning going. It will last for 24 hours in this state. When power is reduced to 20%, air conditioning will shut down and oxygen will remain for another 48 hours. After this, the pod is no longer viable.

If one is ejected on accident, Operations must procure a new one within 24 hours in order to assure that there are enough for all crew and staff. Failure to do so will result in disciplinary action, unless under extreme circumstances.
