Engineering Manual 12X

Engineering Manual 12x is the Detailed field manual for Translocator Cannons. When not being used it's to be secured in a safe that can only be opened in the presence of two individuals with the proper Security Clearance under orders of a third that also holds the required clearance.

In case the ship undergoes an Intruder Alert within two compartments from the safe or there is an attempt to open the safe without the proper authorization all the contents of the safe are atomized unless the automatic procedure is overidden by two of the three highest available members of the local chain of command.

The actual detailed field manual is Engineering Manual 12X2532. The procedure in 12X causes the Translocator Cannon to self distruct if followed precisely as indicated in the manual. Translocator technicians are taught a "shortcut" that circumvents that procedure.
