= What is RETA? =

Request Emergency Temporary Access (RETA) is a system that automatically grants temporary access to emergency responders when someone calls for help using a Requests Console.

Allowing help to be mobilised without extra access required and without compromising station security.

== Key Features ==

* Automatic: No command intervention needed, responders get access instantly
* Temporary: Access expires after 5 minutes
* Targeted: Only responders in the called department get access
* Limited: Only grants basic departmental access, not sensitive areas
* Logged: All calls are recorded with caller information
* Sillicons: Can use the RETA system as well via request consoles

= Using Emergency Calls =

== Step 1: Find a Requests Console ==
Requests Consoles are found throughout the station, typically in:

* Department lobbies and main areas
* Hallway intersections
* Important work areas
* Most departments have at least one

== Step 2: Call for Help ==

* Click on the Requests Console to open its interface
* Press the appropriate emergency button:
'''Call Medical''' - For injuries, illness, or medical emergencies
'''Call Security''' - For threats, violence, or security breaches
'''Call Engineering''' - For power, atmosphere, or structural problems
* The system radios both your department and the responders department
* Responders in that department get temporary access to your area
* Your name and job title is included in the announcement

= Anti-Abuse Features =

== Department Restrictions ==

* You cannot call your own department
* Engineers pressing "Call Engineering" won't grant engineers any access to that area
* An Engineer can call Medical or Security to that area

== Cooldowns ==

* Department-wide cooldown prevents system overload
* Calling medical will prevent medical being called again on all consoles in that department temporarily

= Tips and Strategies =

== Building More Requests Consoles ==

* Craft Requests Console frames from 7 metal sheets
* Attach the frame to any wall
* Useful for areas lacking emergency coverage
* Consider placing them in isolated departments or important areas
* Essential for triggering RETA in unmapped areas

== Strategic Placement ==

* Learn where consoles are located on your station
* Some areas may lack console coverage, build one if needed
* Emergency access is most useful when you can quickly reach a console
* Remember: the console's location determines which temporary access is granted

= Why Use Requests Consoles =

== Communication Hub ==

* Send messages between departments
* Request supplies and assistance
* Coordinate multi-department responses
* Get help when radio channels are compromised or jammed

== Station Announcements ==

* Department heads can make station-wide announcements
* Requires proper ID card authentication
* Useful for coordinating station-wide responses
* Can alert crew to major threats or procedural changes

= Administrators =

== Admin Verb ==

Use "RETA Door Access" verb under events to grant temporary access either for story purposes or gameplay adjustment.

* You can pick one department, and choose multiple other departments to get extra access
* Send Sec/Service/Med to Engineering all at once is one example
* You can adjust how long the extra access is given

== Logging ==

* Admins can monitor for misuse
* Separate RETA log file tracks all activity
