Processing Stowies, or How to Be a Good Cop
Processing a stowie, by itself, is relatively simple. You need their species, front and side photos, age, gender, fingerprints, and crimes committed. Species and gender are easy enough to find; just examine them and you'll see their species and gender. But that comes with the caveat of being both boring and LRP.
How to Process Them and What You Need
To find out the details mentioned above you will need the following:
- Your camera, to take their photos.
- Your forensic scanner, to find their fingerprints. Don't worry if your scanner doesn't show any prints that aren't already on the crew manifest-- that just means they're wearing a normalizer item. Take it off of them and scan again for an accurate reading.
- Evidence bags to collect their stuff. They got it illegally, so they can't get it back outside of their clothes.
- Other officers' testimonies, to find if they committed any other crimes besides stowing away. This can range from breaking into a security outpost to killing an officer outright.
- A tape recorder, to record the interrogation. Optional, but fun!
- A folder to hold your forensic reports and interrogation transcript
Once you have all that, take the (hopefully) handcuffed stowie to the interrogation room and start interrogating! Everything barring the fingerprints is best found through discussion. Once you have everything you need, hand them to the Warden and begin processing them with the console in your office.
How to Maximize RP and Fun for You and the Stowie in a Relatively SFW Manner
- Build a rapport. Talk to them about their species. Are they human? What planet or colony did they grow up on? Are they robotic? What company made them? Are they some weird freaky alien? Ask them what it's like.
- Ask them how and why they stowed away. Remember, they didn't come on a shuttle like you, and they're not getting paid to be here. What made it worth the risk of committing a crime that's ranked in the same category as murder and sabotage?
- Don't waste their time. RP is nice, but if it drags on too long, then just throw 'em in the brig. This varies from situation to situation, but it's worth considering nonetheless.
