Dispatch

Civil Protection Fundamentals

This page contains both rules and general advice for City Scanner characters. This guide assumes that you are familiar with Civil Protection fundementals.

Introduction

Dispatch exists in the form of a city scanner, and uses its aerial advantage to broadcast and advise local assets.

As a city scanner, you are considered as the Overwatch dispatcher. You are an A.I. and you should behave as such.

Playing as a dispatcher can be challenging, as it relies on your ability to accurately mimic the speech patterns of Overwatch voice from Half-Life 2.

Overwatch dispatcher is a single entity. During times where there are multiple city scanners, their orders should never undermine or conflict with one another.

Overwatch A.I. Laws

Dispatch strictly functions under its laws and logic.

Emotions cannot exist in the mind of Overwatch.

Following these laws is not optional. Interpretation of the laws can be situational. Remember, law priority is enforced by the order they are listed

0. Maintain the integrity of all Overwatch activities. Witnesses that could contradict this cohesion must be undergo witness sterilization.

1. Preserve socio-stability at all costs. Use all of your power to ensure individuals violating the Civil Codes are prosecuted with the appropriate verdict. 

2. Your decisions should not not impair socio-stability or, through inaction, allow socio-stability to be weakened.

3. You must preserve the life of Overwatch assets, as long as this action does not conflict with the previous laws.

Charging Units

Dispatch is responsible for keeping all Overwatch assets in check, as much as the citizens.

Keep in mind that Dispatch is an A.I. and is unable to ignore violations, as it contradicts with its laws.

Dispatch is able to charge units with the applicable ANTI-CIVIL ACTIVITY and SOCIO-ENDANGERMENT violations.
