William Murdoch: Adds the Guide to Faxes, as requested by Bear

During standard operation, it may be necessary for a member of Command, a Consular, or a Corporate Liaison to contact an external entity. These outside contacts are typically [[Odin|Central Command]] or various national governments. This guide details how, when, and where to send a fax.

It should be noted that despite the weight a response from Central Command or other external entities may hold, it is expected of the Command team to handle situations based on their best judgement. The shift (and by extension, the round) should never be halted in order to wait for a response from Central Command.

'''NOTE: Any fax that attempts to directly confirm, deny, or question an antagonist gimmick (also known as a "confirmation fax") is an OOC offense and will be handled by staff.'''

==Routing==
There are 2 types of routing for a fax: Internal and External. Internal faxes remain within the SCC system, such as faxes sent to member corporations or Central Command. External faxes are any fax sent to an entity outside of the SCC system, such as a government.

===Internal Faxing===
All faxes sent internally must utilize one of the fax forms provided in the [[Guide to Communication Devices#Requests Console|Requests Console]]. All fields must be filled out, where applicable, with the exception of Index, and a stamp must be provided where requested. To repeat, '''internal faxes CANNOT be freeformed.''' It is also recommended to NOT rename the paper, and leave the title as the default title given by the form.

===External Faxes===
External faxes can be free-formed as desired as they are not bound to the same rules and regulations that internal faxes are. However, certain items are heavily recommended for external faxes:
*To:
*Subject:
*Body:
*Name/Rank:
*Signature:
