A Technical Assistant was a non-specialized Engineering-department employee who presumably failed to get their technical degree but were nonetheless tasked with assisting Engineering personnel with their work. As with Staff Assistants aboard station, it was impossible to hit a cap on the number of Technical Assistants and a person joining the game late could always become one. They occupied a very low place on the official and de facto hierarchies of the station and alternated between being unfairly oppressed and giving provocation for further oppression. Despite being tasked with assisting technical personnel, they had to ask the AI to enter sensitive areas such as Engineering proper. Technical Assistants spawned in Tech Storage, which had (and still does) a flash in it. This means this species of Assistant had a nice weapon to begin with.

Crew Objectives

When they were loyal crew members, Technical Assistants got optional objectives to entertain themselves while waiting for something to happen. They could expect the following objectives, which might look familiar:

Make sure that you are wearing your own butt on your head when the escape shuttle leaves.
Escape on the shuttle alive wearing at least one piece of mailman clothing.
Escape on the shuttle alive with a non-assistant ID registered to you.
Get your grubby hands on a spacesuit.

RIP

Sadly, the shuttle containing this shift's technical and medical assistants crashed. Into the moon. Forever.

To make up for their deficit, the Staff Assistant got their objectives and access to Tech Storage.
