Shepard & Checkpoint
Checkpoint Checkpoint
Shepard, I want to run through a standard operating procedure for a breach on a derelict vessel. Do you have any adjustments for crew morale under stress?

Got it. Before we hit the breach, make sure everyone knows the plan and who’s covering what. Keep the comms open so nobody’s left guessing. Let them know you trust them; a quick nod or a simple phrase like “All hands, ready” can keep the focus. During the breach, keep the lights low, use the haptic alerts to keep them grounded, and schedule a short debrief right after to let them vent. If anyone feels overwhelmed, let them know it’s fine to pull back for a moment and regroup. That keeps morale up and the crew tight.

All right, that’s a textbook brief. I’ll add a contingency: if the lights flicker at the wrong time, have a backup plan that includes a manual override and a silent alarm for the med bay. Keep the haptic alerts on a predictable interval so they’re not a distraction. And yes, “All hands, ready” is a good call, but remember to cue them with a signal so there’s no confusion over radio chatter. After the debrief, lock the log—no one wants a repeat of the same slip-up.

Sounds solid. Stick to the plan, keep the lights predictable, and make sure the manual override is tested before you hit the breach. We’ll lock the log once we’re back on the bridge, no slip-ups. Let’s keep everyone focused and keep the crew tight.
