Assistant

SERVICE STAFF
Assistant	Access: Nothing Qualifications: Not be a complete idiot. Employers: Any playable megacorporation. Supervisors: Everyone Duties: Help other crew or departments in whatever way you can. Guides: No external guides.

This job has no access. But it's good to play if you are a newbie, because you can have an infinite number of Assistants on a vessel. An Executive Officer can give you more access on your ID, so you can be something other than a random helper.

Overview

As an assistant, you'll want to either get a job or just assist with various jobs around the ship. Feel free to ask over the radio if anyone would like any assistance. You don't have any access, so it'll be pretty hard to get anywhere, but this is still a good job for new players.

Traitoring

It's easy to stay under the radar as an assistant, as you have the least-respected job on the ship. Loot a belt from primary tool storage and load up!

The number one advantage of traitor assistant is your opponent's arrogance. Security and other crew members will typically assume you are inexperienced or stupid, so surprise them with your knowledge of how to outrobust an Unathi with your bare fists.
