Access: Library Private Study Additional Access: N/A Difficulty: Easy Supervisors: Head of Personnel Duties: Read and write books and hand them to people, stock bookshelves, report on station news and find TREASURE! Guides: No external guides Quote: ONE DAY WHILE ANDY WA- *THUD* *BRRRRZT* |
The Curator spends most of their time in the library printing out a lot of copies of The Lusty Xenomorph Maid or running around in their red suit and welding through walls of everywhere they have no access (i.e. everywhere). The library itself has a permanence to its contents from game to game on the servers -- all properly uploaded books can be downloaded in any other round.
This is more bane than blessing, since several titles that never should have seen the light of day are forever mingled in with literary classics shamelessly plagiarized from the internet, and also a lot of H.P. Lovecraft. Ba-zing!

Welcome to the exhibit!
Sadly, you will not go on cool adventures to obtain magical artifacts. You will be giving out books, on the rare occasion that someone requests a book.(See Below) You will also occasionally have to replace the Chaplain's bible, after he beats one too many people with and is disarmed and the book spaced. The final area of your job is to upload new books to the archive (See Below). So, take your pen and paper, and write down some screenplays! Printing a few books is cool, but don't be a dick and print 100 copies of one. All it does is crash people that right-click that pile.
The Curator and his Library
First things first, stock your library with books that matter. At the start of the station, your bookshelves will be EMPTY! Your fellow crew members will not want to stay in a library that has no books. To fix this use the Library's Check In/Out Computer's and use its function, "4. Connect to External Archive". Here is the main dish of your sum total of existence, to sort out in the mess of books, and find only the BEST. The books are not sorted, or sortable, and look to have no order what so ever. You will even find many books' copies in the archive. To retrieve the selected book, simply click ORDER, the Check-In/Out Computer's printer will hum as it produces a completely bound book. How did it do that?
The barcode scanner will be needed for checking books into the local library's computer. It has 4 settings, as follows:
Mode 0 : Scan book to local buffer. Mode 1 : Scan book to local buffer and set associated computer buffer to match. Mode 2 : Scan book to local buffer, attempt to check in scanned book. Mode 3 : Scan book to local buffer, attempt to add book to general inventory.
(*Note:Use the scanner on the computer, otherwise it won't work)
The Library is not your workspace, but a home, to you and your books. Your books are like people in a 1960s bus, so keep your books segregated. Sort them on their labeled book-shelves: Religious, Fiction, Adult (read: erotic fanfics), Reference, and the back room's Forbidden Knowledge. You can use your bookbag, which works like a mining satchel or plant bag, to carry multiple books at once. The latter section is great for hiding tomes if you're a cultist.
How To Add A Book To The Database
- Get Paper and a Pen.
- Write your love story about those Lusty Xenos on the paper.
- Take your story to the East Back of the Library to the
Book Binder, and slap that epic story onto the binder. This will spit out your new award winning story.
- Still have that pen? Good, you can sign your name, add more content, and even title it.
- This book is ready to be send though the Nanotrasen command! Ask the Curator to scan this book into the computer, using the
Scanner.
- Once scanned, use the
Check In/Out Computer's 5th function, tittled, "5. Upload New Title to Archive".
- Here you can change the category, change the author once more, and view the title.
- After reviewing the book, and being ready to publish, use the "UPLOAD" command.
Sanctuary
You have a little study with a bookshelf waiting to be filled with forbidden knowledge (read: pornography). In here, you should won't be safe from the Head of Security (read: shitcurity) who didn't like your poetry readings. He can just ask the AI to open the door. When the lynch mob inevitably forms after you read aloud Woody's Got Wood, you can weld the door shut to buy yourself a precious few seconds before someone unwelds it, as the Head of Personnel will often storm the room, shoot you with an energy gun and hand you over to security officers. If he doesn't just laser you to death on the spot.
Breaking News!
Behind the library desk is a handy newscaster to work with. Since the Curator is given a tape recorder and a camera with spare film, this allows you to keep the crew informed of station events, such as memorable performances by the clown, interviews with prominent people, murders or even writing smutty tabloid articles. Photos from your camera can be attached to the news articles you post. Alternatively, you could use your photocopier to copy your ass and attach the results to your news articles.
The newscaster also can print out up to 15 newspapers, and can refilled by adding more paper. After that, you'll want to deliver the newspaper to frequently visited areas like the Medbay, Brig, and more.
Archaeologist Work
As a side job, the Curator also maintains the Display Cases prominently displayed in the middle of the library. These cases can only be handled by you and you alone. You can place precious artifacts stuff like the clown's pie cannon into them for future generations (aka the next shift) to marvel at. To do that, just use your key on the case and then place your treasure in there. Once it's in there, you can give it a custom name and description to inform people of why the item belongs in a MUSEUM! There's no ID lock, so don't use your ID on a case as it will just eat it. Then you have to go beg the Captain or Head of Personnel for a new one.
In your back room, you can gain access to your archaeologist outfit (pictured above). It makes you look like a badass, and it also comes with a whip! The Curator's Whip is very robust, as it deals a lot of damage and automatically disarms your opponent. It is useful for dispatching the assistant trying to steal your treasure from the display cases, or for attacking hostile forces!

In your backpack you can locate your trusty soapstone. Found something interesting, want to inform others of newfound information, or simply want to write silly stuff in the Head of Security's office? Use your soapstone on the tile you want to write your message down. Your message then will be able to seen by crew members in future shifts. Be warned, however - you only have 3 uses before it becomes dull and unusable. If you wish to do the opposite and erase embarrassing messages, once again use it on the offending message. This will give you another use to your soapstone! Janitor's also get an empty soapstone to remove messages.
Finally, if any user, dead or alive, clicks on the message, you can vote on the message. The more votes a message has, the more likely it can show up in a round.
Tips
- The library system is much more robust than most people think:
- You can activate barcode scanner to switch modes.
- You can use it to add printed books to your library's "inventory", then use the check in/check out computer to actually give people books for specified amount of time, like a real library would.
- You can cut inventory slots in books with wirecutters.
- Your whip will instantly disarm anyone you hit with it.
- Using your soapstone on a message erases it, and grants you one more use.
Book'em Dano
This used to be one of the hardest jobs to be a Traitor as. It used to be a job where you had nothing but some books and your wits, but with some recent changes he now has robust armor and a unique weapon: THE WHIP. Security trying to taze you? Whip the gun out of their hands! Target is too loud? Whip them! You're too slow? Whip yourself! It's amazing.
However, don't downplay your weaknesses. piss all access, and don't forget, you're about as suspicious as an assistant. make sure to get your stealing (or killing) done, then hole up in your private study until the heat dies down. However, unlike assistants, your outfit is quite special, so people will easily recognize you everywhere unless you ditch it. Emagging the library computer causes it to spit out a tome, though you need to be a real cultist to read it. This can be used to confuse security, but you should be ready to get searched and brigged for some time.
