Alert Conditions

Alert condition codes allow for standard procedures to be followed in specific conditions.

Colored Conditions

There are three standard conditions named after colors - these also correspond to the color of alert notification lights throughout a location.

• Condition Red / Red Alert corresponds to Condition 1
• Condition Blue / Temporal Alert corresponds to Condition 2
• Condition Yellow / Yellow Alert corresponds to Condition 3
• Condition Green / Normal Operations corresponds to Condition 0
• Grey Mode corresponds to Condition 7

Numbered Conditions

Number	Name	Description
0	Condition Green	Cancels all alert statuses and conditions. Sets all decks to normal operations.
1	Tactical Alert Red Alert General Quarters Battle Stations	Defensive status signaling that a crew needs to be ready for combat. All nonessential personnel are to move to shelter areas. Damage control teams deployed to emergency locations. All combat stations to be fully crewed. Charge / arm all weapons. Raise shields at full power. Automatic diagnostics on primary and secondary systems. Secure and seal off critical areas. Security personnel deploy to defensive positions. Command personnel report to stations. Standard lighting reduced / control surface lighting increased. All relevant preparations from Yellow Alert / Condition 3.
2	Temporal Alert Condition Blue	TDE / Dimensional Fold Drive brought online at ready status. Raise temporal shields to full power. Signal Starbase Pandora and report status and request continuous updates. Download current historical data from Starbase Tranquility and Starbase Pandora. Compare downloaded data with current conditions, ascertain temporal changes. Temporal Operatives report to commanding officer immediately.
3	Yellow Alert	Charge defensive systems. Damage control teams ready to deploy. Security teams report to security office for deployment assignments. Department heads report to stations. Standby crews report to stations. Secure communications. Reduce power to non-essential systems.
4	Environmental Alert	Damage control teams deploy to standby locations. Security teams deploy to evacuation locations. Medical teams deploy to standby locations. Seal all decks at critical cross-sections. Seal all decks from adjacent decks. Seal all external doors and access points. Seal jefferies tubes at all junctions. Set each decks environmental controls to independent operation. All non-essential personnel report to shelter areas.
5	Decompression Alert Collision Alert	All relevant procedures of Environmental Alert. Damage control teams deploy to critical areas. Medical teams deploy to shelter areas. Seal all isolation doors on all decks. Erect emergency force fields around critical areas. Inertial dampeners to full power. Structural integrity field to full power. Command and control areas isolated to independent power. Evacuate outermost areas.
6	Security Alert	Security officers issued phaser rifles and body armor. Security teams deploy to critical areas. Post guards in critical areas. Post guards at turbolifts, access points to adjacent decks, and transporter rooms. Flag officers, commanding officer, along with 2nd and 3rd in command are given armed escorts. Damage control teams assigned to assist security at discretion of Operations Officer. Commanding Officer reports to the bridge / operations and localizes command functions to the bridge and main engineering. Chief Engineer reports to main engineering ready to assume control of systems if other areas are compromised. Security Chief organizes search teams and patrol teams. Non-essential personnel return to quarters. Secure all communication lines. Restrict computer access to Level 1 and above. Shut down transporters. Seal all external hatches and doors. Seal all decks from adjacent decks. Seal all access to jefferies tubes. Tactical officer begins intensive continuous sensor sweeps of surrounding area. Operations Officer begins continuous internal sensor scans and reports all anomalous signals to chief of security. Department heads secure their areas and account for all personnel.
6A	Security Readiness Heightened Security	Security officers issued Phaser Rifles and body armor. Security teams deploy to critical areas. Post guards in critical areas. Post guards at turbolifts, access points to adjacent decks, and transporter rooms. Flag officers, commanding officer, along with 2nd and 3rd in command are encouraged to accept armed escorts. Security Chief organizes additional patrol teams. Secure all communication lines. Restrict computer access to Level 1 and above. Seal all external hatches and doors. Seal all decks from adjacent decks. Seal all access to jefferies tubes.
7	Grey Mode	All non-essential systems powered down. Non-essential areas evacuated, including crew quarters, to shelter areas and powered down. Primary and secondary systems reduced to minimum power. Sensors to passive mode to reduce computer processing load. Reduce computer power to minimal levels. Replicators and transporters shut down. Propulsion systems set to minimal power output and shut down when not in use. Power generation systems put on load rotation to reduce fuel consumption.
8	Medical Quarantine	All transporters and shuttle bays are shut down. Shields are raised. Quarantine beacons are activated warning vessels away from the station. Solas Tempus HQ at Tranquility is informed of the emergency. Security places at points of egress. No personnel on the station are allowed to leave. Medical staff to determine other required measures.
Theta	Theta Protocol	Invokes Theta Protocol of the Temporal Reconciliations. Initiates organization wide Condition 2 across all Solas Tempus vessels, stations, and facilities. Recalls all available Temporal Operatives and places them on active duty. Blue Leader is put in de facto command of all Solas Tempus resources. All Temporal Operatives not involved in necessary operations are diverted to assemble at Integro Base immediately. The Prometheus Association is assembled at Integro Base. All communications networks are placed under control of HAL 9000 and BlueNet.

Security Alert / Security Readiness

These conditions go hand in hand. However, a full security alert is not meant to be a prolonged status except in the most dire situations. As such Condition 6A is designed as a long-term status of heightened security with as little disruption to station life as possible. Many times one condition is a prelude to the other and department heads as well as command crews should maintain the ability to transition smoothly from one condition to the other.

A full Security Alert is reserved for an imminent or active threat to security, while Security Readiness is reserved to prepare for possible security threats.

Theta Protocol

A protocol developed for the Temporal Reconciliations to signal that a temporal catastrophe is imminent and must be responded to with as many resources as possible. This protocol has been used only once, and was invoked to give additional resources to governments in combating an Infinity Wave while a team was dispatched to the waves epicenter. The operation was successful and proved both the need for and the acceptable use of Theta Protocol.
