As a '''Quartermaster''', your primary job is to order equipment to help keep the station running. You have up to three potential [[Cargo Technician]]s to help you redistribute things throughout the station. You also have authority over mining, and should try and coordinate the miners to meet the needs of the station.
As a '''Quartermaster''', your primary job is to coordinate and manage the members of cargo and mining. You will be expected to monitor the condition of your miners, and allow the paramedic to access the airlock if needed. Otherwise, you will often assist cargo in doing their various tasks and chores.


== Supply Points ==
==Cargo Operation==
Everything you order will cost varying amounts of supply points, which will slowly deplete a small pool of points you're granted at shift start.
It is best to delegate some tasks to CTs, ask them to volunteer to do them, and/or perform them yourself. You may also request that certain conditions be met before a task is completed. It is your responsibility to ensure that cargo does not lose funds, that the warehouse is sorted properly, and that Orders are either fulfilled or rejected in a timely manner. While you can delegate these tasks, it will be on you to supervise those doing them and ensure they're done properly. For a more in-depth explanation of cargo, please see the [[Cargo Technician]] page.
It is your duty, as Quartermaster, to keep a steady influx of points by:
* Returning empty crates back on the supply shuttle, to gain a small 5 point bonus.
* Returning stamped manifests inside the crates, to gain an additional 2 point bonus.
* Sending stacks of Phoron and Platinum inside the crates, which grants many points when sent in large quantities (5 points per sheet).
 
No other objects will grant points, so there's nothing to gain by sending any other items back except those listed above.
 
== Filling Forms ==
As a Quartermaster, you have a couple of ways to deal with orders. There are three basic ways you can play it:
* Being a proactive Quartermaster by ordering crates based on current situations (Weapons crates if Aliens show up, an Emergency crate if a bomb goes off, etc.)
* Being bureaucratic by making the members of the station fill out forms, and thus ensuring that you have record of everyone who orders anything on file
* Ordering whatever people ask for with minimal paperwork.
 
Any of them work, but keeping track of items ordered and delivered is usually a good idea.
 
== Ordering Things ==
 
If someone wants to order a crate, the basic procedure is this:
* Ask them to use the computer to print a requisition form.
* Ask them to get it stamped by a Head of Staff.
* Approve the request, order the crate, and send it to the station.
* PDA message, radio them, or just deliver it when it comes in.
 
People usually skip asking a Head of Staff, but it's still a good idea to do so.
 
If someone wants a specific item you have, do this:
* Grab a piece of paper and make a form with name, department, requested item, and why they need it.
* Hand them the paper and pen and let them fill it out.
* Ask for a stamp from one of the appropriate heads to certify the order.
* Grab a crate or clipboard and toss the paper in there.
 
If someone wants something you don't have:
*Tell them you don't have it.
*See if you can make it using the Autolathe.
*If you can, make it and follow the steps for a specific item.
*If not, have them order the crate AND fill out the paper.
 
The reason for all of this is to leave a paper trail; both for RP reasons and that traitors will be much less likely to order potentially dangerous things from you if they have to give you proof that they ordered it.
 
You have a nifty little clipboard on your desk that can store every requisition form you get, so it's a good idea to use it. An assistant trying to order a Robotics crate or Phoron Assembly crate without good reason if likely to raise suspicions.
 
== Crate Contents ==
See [[Supply crates]].
 
==Disposals Mailing==
This is an alternative way of delivering items, and is usually preferable to MULE transport as long as the pipes are still intact.
 
#Wrap your item/crate with package wrapper.
#Pick up the destination tagger and click in your hand to set a destination.
#Use the destination tagger on the parcel.
#* Optional: Use a pen to write a message on the parcel, or custom set a destination.)
#Stick it on the conveyor, or dump it in a disposals unit, and let the system handle it.
#*Tip: Click and drag the large parcels to disposals units to put them in. This can only be done a few times however.
 
You can also gift wrap packages, but these cannot be tagged with a destination, and have to be delivered manually. This will not work with large objects. The process is slightly more complicated.
 
#Pick up the item you want to gift wrap.
#Hold a sharp object in your other hand. (Wirecutters are the most common for this.)
#Click the wrapping paper with the item you want to wrap.
 
Gift wrapping a human is also possible, but they must have a straight jacket on and you need the wrapping paper in your hand. This is usually not a good idea.
 
== The Warehouse ==
The cargo warehouse at roundstart contains a wide variety of randomly generated items.
 
With the exception of stacks of phoron and platinum, and empty crates, the items in the warehouse will not give cargo points if sent back on the shuttle.


==Mining Operation==
Miners will work mostly independently of you, and therefore do not need to be ordered as much. However, it is still best to remind them to use their suit sensors, to take their GPSes, ask what their GPS designations are, and to check in with them occasionally to ensure that they are all healthy and unharmed. Should any miners become injured, you will be expected to allow the paramedic to access them, as the quicker they get help, the less their chances of death.


== Traitoring ==
== Traitoring ==
Being a Traitor QM is one of the best damn things in the game. As a Quartermaster, you have direct and easy access to weapons and tools many other jobs do not have access to, and can easily conceal most of your nefarious deeds. Cutting the cameras is the first step to success, followed closely by ordering and hiding a weapons crate. If you're feeling daring, order an [[Syndicate Items#Electromagnetic Card|Electromagnetic Card]] and use it on the ordering computer to get the Special Ops crate, which has some nifty things. Problem is, it makes it a dead giveaway that you're a traitor, so pocket what you want to keep, space what you don't, and send the crate back.


=== Black Market ===
Your Autolathe can be hacked to make nifty toys like [[Rapid Construction Device|RCDs]] and [[Flamethrower|Flamethrowers]]. It's usually not advisable, or even needed, but it's an option if need be. You don't even need a multitool for this one. Just snip and fix till you find the one that turns off the blue light.

As a Quartermaster, your primary job is to coordinate and manage the members of cargo and mining. You will be expected to monitor the condition of your miners, and allow the paramedic to access the airlock if needed. Otherwise, you will often assist cargo in doing their various tasks and chores.

Cargo Operation

It is best to delegate some tasks to CTs, ask them to volunteer to do them, and/or perform them yourself. You may also request that certain conditions be met before a task is completed. It is your responsibility to ensure that cargo does not lose funds, that the warehouse is sorted properly, and that Orders are either fulfilled or rejected in a timely manner. While you can delegate these tasks, it will be on you to supervise those doing them and ensure they're done properly. For a more in-depth explanation of cargo, please see the Cargo Technician page.

Mining Operation

Miners will work mostly independently of you, and therefore do not need to be ordered as much. However, it is still best to remind them to use their suit sensors, to take their GPSes, ask what their GPS designations are, and to check in with them occasionally to ensure that they are all healthy and unharmed. Should any miners become injured, you will be expected to allow the paramedic to access them, as the quicker they get help, the less their chances of death.
