alien alarm

Description

The Alien Alert is a manual signaling device located at the entrance of the Nerdarea. It must be activated by any member accompanying a visiting alien (non-member person) before entry.

Its purpose is to prepare on-site members for external presence – allowing them to cover prototypes, secure consoles, or switch to social mode.

Function

Once activated, the Alien Alert sends a visual and/or acoustic signal inside the room. In some setups, it also logs the event in the station's internal presence matrix.

The device is clearly labeled, and its use is mandatory. Forgetting to trigger it may lead to awkward looks or mild protocol violations.

Note

Despite its name, the Alien Alert is not meant to deter – it's a courtesy switch. A bridge between worlds, one beep at a time.
