PDA

All crewmembers begin with a PDA, loaded with special tools and programs depending on what your starting assignment is. Blank PDAs can be acquired from the Head of Personnel if you were to lose yours. Certain jobs may find their PDA more useful than others. Traitors generally acquire their gear with their PDA. Also every PDA comes with a free useful pen and has a unique ID at the bottom right.

Every PDA shows who the Owner is and who's ID is currently slotted in. Additionally it shows the current Station's name.

The most important details is the current Alert Level and the given Instructions for that alert level.
