Greenhouse corps! Splendid idea. This ship is bound to have greenhouse facilities aboard it, so I'm glad someone is actually giving that a shot.

ENTRY 001: STARSHIP ODYSSEUS

ENTRY 002: ODYSSEAN DWELLINGS

The Odysseus is a primarily Military starship, at least until recently. As of now, The Odysseus has taken upon somwhere over ten thousand refugees, and its two enormous cargo hangars have been refitted into modular housing. Each of the enormous cargo containers have been refitted into multi-story homes and recreational buildings.

The current plans laid out by the social administrator are as such. However, they are subject to change if needed. Social projections indicate a variety of small businesses supported by military/civil trade agreements may occur given the proper circumstances.

The crates are 20x10x10m, each capable of holding 18 individuals comfortably, each with their own room. As of now, several of the crates are still undergoing renovations, and most are, "camped" outside of the crates, which will likely be linked together for a myriad of purposes.

For what it's worth, the hangars are 500m long, 105m tall, and 240m wide. Each sector is capable of carrying a maximum of 50 crates, 25 with 25 more on top, stacked double-high, five wide and five long. Five meters of space is given inbetween the crates so that catwalks and walkways may be unobstructed in the future. Crossways are also in question for development.

Each hangar, 2 and 3 and their 16 sectors inbetween, are a mix of recreational and residential. As a result, crates are labeled vertically either, "RECRE" or "RESID", with the crate's number next to it. Further details are not available to the public.

The storage crate of which the denizens of Odysseus (Odysseans) live in, is comprised of 18 rooms, 9 per side. Each room is outfitted with a double bunk and a bathroom, but nothing more. Personal entertaintment and other distractions are usually small enough to be used on the bed. Persons living alone will often be assigned a bunkmate, but may opt to live alone. Due to the current chaotic climate, it is quite possible that most of these appeals will be overruled.

Odyssean Block, row one, section A1 Hangar 2 suggestion.

The Odysseus is projected to hold well over 25,000 surviving occupants from the recent catastrophe. As such, and as has been repeatedly mentioned, The Odysseus' occupants have been relegated to repurposed storage containers for housing, hoping to reflect some modicum of modern life. Projections indicate that with the vast amount of species, races, cultures and so on, there will be infighting. As such, each hangar is assigned to have at least two Police Departments in them, as military personnel has to continue their duties. While many of the survivors have already been registered to have been former duty police, none of them have served aboard a starship with such duties to undertake. As such, new training is required. While the previous officers meet the qualifications for patrol, few have experience with such enclosed spaces. Each department is to have four autos and one dropship- the latter used only in extreme cases. The Autos are of a fairly large size, based off of larger All Terrain vehicles across several worlds.

Projections are subject to change, but will hopefully remain for the most part, static in the structures to be. Though the 5 meter space between buildings has been revised to 10 meters, to accommodate for vehicles and sidewalks. Personal vehicles are not yet to be permitted. As such, they are remaining in lockup until seen fit.

ENTRY 003: ODYSSEUS' FIGHTERCRAFT AND GUNSHIPS

ENTRY 004: ODYSSEUS CIVILIAN SCHEDULES AND ROUTINES

Due to the recent catastrophe, over 25000 Civilians have been taken aboard The Odysseus. Since the Odysseus lacks a structure for such an event, at this time, civilians are to be brought in accordance with the schedules expected of military personnel. Military standard time is used.

0600: Any and all refugees are expected to awaken at this time. Personal reorientation is to occur within an hour's time of waking up. Bathing and other restroom use, medications required, and so on, are done during this period.
0700: Early mess. Breakfast for all refugees is to be served. Meals currently generic military issue. Special packages due to different DNA structure require verification from one of the mess hall's medical consultants.
0730: Physical training and other fitness routines. While artificial gravity is in effect, life in space still requires that one keep themselves in shape and that their diet is stable, in case of emergency. Medical waivers can be used to avoid this section of the day if absolutely necessary, and requires consultation with a medical consultant in the PT area.
0800: Refugees are allowed a second brief shower before returning to their respective residential areas. Refugees then have two hours to do as they see fit freely. *Military personnel maintains a watch in this time.
1000: Refugees are called upon to do various tasks throughout the ship in which they are qualified, be it mess cook, repairman, or other duties. Prior and active duty refugees are requested specifically to train with the military personnel aboard the ship to maintain a militia in the event of boarding. If one's duties are complete, they are free to return to their respective areas. If one's duties take longer, or they opt to take more time, it is allowed so long as there is a task that needs doing.
1200: Lunch is to be served at this time. Any refugees that are still expected to do their duties and have not completed them are sent back to do so.
1500: Refugees who have completed their tasks are at this time, told to return to their respective areas.
1700: Unless currently busy, it is mandatory that refugees return to their respective areas.
1800: Dinner is to be served. Breakfast and lunch rules apply accordingly.
2000: Soft Curfew is enacted. Refugees are encouraged to return to their respective resting areas.
2300: Hard Curfew is enacted. Any refugees seen up and about past this time will be apprehended accordingly.

Until the Civilian council is formed this will be the schedule followed strictly. The Council may govern themselves and change things with popular vote. One council member from each section of housing-to-be will be randomly selected via lottocracy. This will result in 16 council members. Once this is formed, aspects of the curfew may be changed accordingly.

Likewise, the districts are as such.

At the moment, projections are being revised. Hangar 2 is more than enough to hold the current amount of refugees. As a result, Hangar 3 is being reassigned to a recreational role. The Police Departments to be will be present in both hangars.

For the time of which refugees work, and a lack of any real economy, "ODC" is to be implemented. "Odyssean Credit". ODCs have no actual value, and are simply a credit system aboard The Odysseus. These are issued so that refugees are rewarded form their work, and can trade their credits for military surplus and other supplies that have been pulled out of cargo. Alongside daily rations, credits allow Odyssean refugees to have some modicum of normality and comfort aboard this ship. The current pay rate is 8C/hr. 40 daily is the expected rate.

ENTRY 005: ODYSSEAN ID TAGS AND RELATED USES

The Odysseus is currently ready to release ID tags upon registration. After acquiring your ID tag, you may then proceed to your designated home. For the sake of security and privacy, this is the only aspect of your identity not listed on your ID tag. Your ID tag consists of ten informational pieces. They are sorted as such.

ODYSSEUS ID
FIRST INITIAL . LAST NAME
REFUGEE NUMBER : NUMBER CODE AND TYPE
AGE: CURRENT AGE
SEX: LIST SEX AT BIRTH
BLOOD TYPE: TYPE
AFFILIATION: MILITARY, CIVILIAN CORPS, OTHER
DUTY: DUTY WITHIN AFFILIATION
CLEARANCE LEVEL: LEVEL GRANTED

These things are listed so that others may easily get an idea of who you are, what you do, and how to address you. The social uses are minimal in comparison to the practical uses. Unless validated by the card holder, no transactions of ODC may occur, and as such, payments accepted and made always require user approval. Likewise, unless validated by the ID Card Holder, none can enter your quarters without explicit permission in the form of linking the cards. Each card may only be linked with one other person at a time to ensure security. In a room with two occupants, up to two extra individuals can enter with such permission.

The card may be attached to any surface, worn as a lanyard or pinned to any front facing spot of your clothing. If for personal or cultural reasons one insists being shirtless, it must be worn either by lanyard configuration or on the waist where a belt buckle would be located.

Theft is easily preventable. Odyssean Security forces are able to track any individual card specifically, and when five feet away from one's person, the card's light yellow and cannot be used for anything at all. Likewise, if a card is out of such proximity for exactly one hour, the light will turn red and it will be invalidated unless reactivated by the area's chief administrator personally.

The pronged end of the card is plugged into a variety of things. It is how one activates a public console, how one makes transactions, how one unlocks doors they have access to, and so on. This card is the single most important Odysseus issued piece of equipment one has, and must be watched over at all times.

As a note, Synthetics and Cyborgs are barred from the modification, assimilation, or other manners of integration with one's self for efficiency. The card's rules are strict and must be followed to the letter. The cards is made of materials that are extremely strong and rigid, as is the cord. The chances of requiring replacement are low.

At this time, cards may not be personalized in any way and are standard issue.

ENTRY 006: ODYSSEAN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND EQUIPMENT

The Odysseus has been assigned a police force that was instated to instill some feeling of normality for the populace. In these trying times, law and order must be maintained. As such, police have been assigned from the ship's non-essential crew. As of this entry, no civilians have been accepted into the Police Force. However, they could be given time and training, just as any other officer could be.

Race and Sex does not matter much in the O.D.P.D., as Equine, Homo-Sapien, and Xenos alike are currently in it. While most of the gear is created for Human hands, it can be attached to harnesses and other peripheral devices for other races. Armor is fabricated to fit one's exact measurements.

From a distance, it would be easy to confuse O.D.P.D. operatives for soldiers. This is due to the fact that the same crew who have had their positions altered, also had their equipment simply painted. Lighter uniforms exist, but police are required to be able to operate in vacuum, in case of emergency. The Crewman's sidearm has also been simply repainted, but modifications exist for it.

The PDW and Carbine receiver mods allow the officer on duty to quickly change his weapon on the fly, given that they are available. The PDW modification is used when escorting V.I.P.s in close quarters, or a potential raid on a contraband stash. The Carbine is often deployed by troopers on rooftops or observation towers. Without exception, this particular modification is used on the crow's nest of the Department. Both receiver modifications allow automatic fire of varying rates, the PDW expending it faster. They also allow burst functionality. The Pistol however is simply semi-automatic.

The Baton is fairly large, though lightweight. Its size if however, necessary, considering the wide variety of aliens aboard this ship.

The Police Cruiser is the size of a Sport Utility Vehicle, capable of reaching considerable speeds. This function however has been restricted, considering its confined environment.

The Dropship is only used in extreme circumstances, should a citizen get a hold of a weapon and take a hostage, this craft is to be deployed immediately. While it has no armaments, it has doors on the side and a rapid deployment ramp on the back that offer a view for a Police Marksman to return fire should they have to.

The O.D.P.D. buildings consist of three containers. Two of which are for the common police duties, the rear lower one being a temporary jail until perpetrators of the vessel's law can be escorted to a more appropriate holding cell deeper in the ship.

Finally, the weapons are capable of both lethal and non lethal applications- and despite the soldier-esque appearance, the police almost always have non lethal rounds loaded. The O.D.P.D uses "Taser" rounds that upon impact, incapacitate the target. The technology works fairly well and can be delivered as quickly as a lethal round can be. One notable drawback however is range, so Carbineer Officers often have lethal rounds loaded into their weapons. For reference, the handgun carries 12 Full Metal Jacket 10mm rounds, or 10m Taser Rounds.

Despite their somewhat intimidating appearance and armory, the police are more often than not completely willing to assist. To allay concerns, they are almost always carrying just the pistol as their weapon.

Likely as suspicious allies. They would treat you as an ally, but would be very suspicious behind closed doors.
