Site Protocols

As large as Pathos is, protocols are needed to keep things orderly and to ensure that if something unexpected happens, we have a system to inform all on-site personnel at once. Personnel are required to follow all regulations during protocols. Protocols can be enabled by the appropriate ranks (see link) or freely in a private server. After activation a facility-wide announcement will sound, a notice will be placed in the top right corner, and a radio message will be sent. 
All protocols should not be taken lightly. 
== Common Protocols ==
These protocols are activated frequently and everyone should be well-acquainted with them.
