Crew

The crew is a troupe that serves as the "default" state for typical gameplay. While every crew mask shares the same win condition, they are not stringently aligned like traitors.

Whereas most troupes are a small number of closely-aligned players working together, the crew embodies a more diverse range of motivations. What they lack in coordination is made up for in number, as there will (hopefully) be enough good people to secure victory.

Ambiguity

Crew masks, beyond personal incentives, largely exist to create ambiguity for antagonistic actions on the station. Although their secondary objectives may encourage some level of aggressive or destructive behavior, the main goal that unites all members of the troupe ensures at least some level of cooperative play.

A noteworthy element about the crew troupe is that none of them are able to really "confirm" one another, at least not as readily as other troupes may be able to. While they are still generally trustworthy due to their high number (the average player is likely to always be a crew member) it does call into question if you can truly be sure someone is on your side.

Objective

The main objective of the crew lies within the science department: the Portal Generator. This massive machine is capable of instantly teleporting objects across space, and it's the teams way to victory, if they can charge it up.

Succeeding in telescience is meant to be a relatively-easy process. As the sorta gameplay default, the crew are positioned to win so long as they keep things running and prevent other troupes from winning. So long as minimum effort is exerted, the crew should always be able to win. The crew entirely failing is more of a default case in the event of something catastrophic that would otherwise stall the round.

Telescience

In order to win, the crew must charge up the portal generator through several phases before the radstorm reaches the station. The charging is done passively through simply supplying it with constant power. Note that this can still be (temporarily) sabotaged: either by cutting power supply or destroying components of the portal generator.

Once the generator has finished charging, it can be activated. The activation will cause a Portal Event to occur, spawning various anomalies across the station. Note that the next phase will bein to charge, but it can't be activated until the anomalies from the previous phase have been contained.

Portal events function as a round modifiers, interacting with each other and interesting way and changing how player's have to play while they are active. They can be contained through cooperation by players, done primarily by scientists, which is a requirement for completing the main objective.

Once the charge has completely filled up (taking the duration of an average round), the portal generator will be able to activate once more, teleporting the station out of danger and starting the evacuation sequence and ending the round.
