  • Faxes are your main method of communicating with the NAS Trurl, better known as Central Command.
  • Faxes allow personnel on the station to maintain open lines of communication with the NAS Trurl, allowing for vital information to flow both ways.
  • Being written communications, proper grammar, syntax and typography is required, in addition to a signature and, if applicable, a stamp. Failure to sign faxes will lead to an automatic rejection.

  • This means that we trust the recipients of these fax machines to only use them in the proper circumstances (see When to Fax?).

    • When to Fax?


  • While it is up to the discretion of each individual person to decide when to fax Central Command, there are some simple guidelines on when to do this.
  • Firstly, any situation that can reasonably be solved on-site, should be handled on-site. Knowledge of Standard Operating Procedure is mandatory for everyone with access to a fax machine.
  • Resolving issues on-site not only leads to more expedient problem-solving, it also frees up company resources and provides valuable work experience for all parties involved.
    • -
  • This means that you should work with the Heads of Staff concerning personnel and workplace issues, and attempt to resolve situations with them. If, for whatever reason, the relevent Head of Staff is not available or receptive, consider speaking with the Captain and/or NanoTrasen Representative.

  • If, for whatever reason, these issues cannot be solved on-site, either due to incompetence or just plain refusal to cooperate, faxing Central Command becomes a viable option.
  • Secondly, station status reports should be sent occasionally, but never at the start of the shift. Remember, we assign personnel to the station. We do not need a repeat of what we just signed off on.
  • Thirdly, staff/departmental evaluations are always welcome, especially in cases of noticeable (in)competence. Just as a brilliant coworker can be rewarded, an incompetent one can be punished.
