## About The Pull Request Improves penlight sprite and code. A new type of pen has been introduced - the Security Pen. This pen is red and can create a holograph around a person, similar to a medical penlight. The holograph prompts the person to surrender for 30 seconds, and the holograph itself is visible for 5. There is a 30-second cooldown between usage. Holosign itself does nothing except be visual, just like medical holosign **(DO NOT MISTAKE HOLOSIGNS FOR HOLOBARRIERS)** https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/42353186/1ee5f794-7218-4e52-b04f-3ebb50bd224a Now every Security member spawns with a Security Pen in their PDA. Now you can print Security Pens at Security Techfab, and Penlights at Medical Techfab. ## Why It's Good For The Game The only way to prompt someone to perform the surrender emote is by holding them up with a gun. However, this mechanic can be quite unreliable, even after updates, especially if the person is moving. As a result, many players are unaware of how to prompt the surrender emote or even about its existence, so they don't know they can trigger it themselves by typing "*surrender". This enables non-lethal arrests without stun batons or other tools. Sprites are a significant improvement as the previous penlight sprites were outdated. ## Changelog 🆑 qol: There is now a more convenient way to prompt surrender to emote - the Security Pen. Each officer is equipped with one in their PDA. Simply click someone with it to prompt a 30-second surrender. They are printable at Security Techfab as well. qol: Penlights now are printable at Medical Techfab. image: Penlights got a new cleaner sprite to replace its ancient one code: The code for Penlight's holographic sign has been improved. /🆑
