Panic switch

Panic switches (also referred to as panic stations) are devices attached to the wall that allow personnel to send out a facility-wide alert and notify security of a potential emergency.

When pulled, a screen will illuminate on the device indicating it is now active, along with roughly where that panic switch is located. This information will display on all panic switches across the facility, as well as on an overhead screen in the security department. A sound will also play across all switches, sets of LEDs on the front panel will begin to flash, and an intercom announcement will play upon activation.

As of Beta 0.15, there are a total of 19 panic stations present across the map.

Security alerts
Members of the security team will be notified of the activation of a panic switch in many ways. Besides the public-facing notifications (illumination of panic switches and intercom announcement), an overhead screen in a main hallway of the security department will show the current panic alarm status. As well as this, a message will be broadcast to all security and safety department personnel via their emergency radios.
