 <&RatMama[BOT]> Incoming Client: John Tops - System: Eravate - Platform: PC (Odyssey) - O2: OK - Language: English (en) - IRC Nickname: John_Tops
 <%MechaSqueak[BOT]> RATSIGNAL Case #3 PC (Odyssey) – CMDR John Tops – System: "ERAVATE" (K Orange dwarf 73.3 LY from Sol) – Language: English (en) – Nick: John_Tops 

(RatMama announces the client. And MechaSqueak responds with the case creation.)

 <%Velica_Foriana[Dispatch]> !prep 3

 (Bot command that gives instructions on how to prepare to be rescued.)

 <%MechaSqueak[BOT]> John_Tops: Please exit supercruise and come to a stop. Keep Life Support ON, and disable all other modules you can disable (you can't disable them all - instructions available if needed). If an oxygen countdown timer appears at all let us know right away.
 <+NL_Paradox> #3 1j (1 jump away and available to rescue. When a rat calls jumps, they begin moving toward the system immediately.)
 <John_Tops> yea i'll do it
 <%Toby_Charles> #3 15j (15 jumps away and available to rescue.  The case number #3 at the beginning indicates to dispatch that the rat called for case number 3.)
 <Terekhov> #3 3j (3 jumps away and available to rescue.)
 <%Velica_Foriana[Dispatch]> John_Tops, let us know once you have done the module shutdown instructions
 <John_Tops> done. 
 <%Velica_Foriana[Dispatch]> !gofr 3 NL_Paradox Terekhov

 (Only 2 rats got assigned to this case, probably because one was a lot further away and two rats are sufficient for a normal rescue.  Since Toby was not assigned, they will not proceed to the rescue.)

 <%MechaSqueak[BOT]> John_Tops Please add the following 2 rats to your friends list: "NL Paradox", "Terekhov"
 <%MechaSqueak[BOT]> John_Tops To send a friend request, go to the menu (Hit ESC), click SOCIAL, and search for your rat(s) in the upper right. Click them, then click ADD FRIEND.

 (The client ALWAYS initiates the friend request.  Only in very exceptional cases should the rat send the friend request. See A technical look at SOP for more info.)

 <+NL_Paradox> #3 fr+
 <Terekhov> #3 fr+

 (Rats report that they have received and accepted the clients friend request.. If sufficient time has passed and no friend request was received, fr- can be reported)

 <%Velica_Foriana[Dispatch]> Perfect John_Tops, now invite your rats to a team
 <%Velica_Foriana[Dispatch]> !team 3

(Dispatch asks the client to initiate the wing/team request. Like friend requests earlier, the client sends wing/team invites to the rats, not the other way around.)

 <%MechaSqueak[BOT]> John_Tops: To invite someone to your team, go to the comms panel (Default key 2), hit ESC to get out of the chat box, and move to the third panel (Default key E). Then select your Rat(s) and select Invite to team
 <+NL_Paradox> #3 wr+
 <Terekhov> #3 tm+

 (Both rats report that they have received and accepted the clients wing/team invite. Both wr+ and tm+ are common ways to indicate a successful wing creation.)

 <%Velica_Foriana[Dispatch]> John_Tops finally make sure your team beacon is active
 <%Velica_Foriana[Dispatch]> !beacon 3
 <%MechaSqueak[BOT]> John_Tops: To light your beacon, go to the right panel (Default key 4), navigate to the SHIP tab (Default key Q), then in the FUNCTIONS sub-screen select BEACON and set it to WING/TEAM
 <+NL_Paradox> #3 bc+
 <John_Tops> done 
 <Terekhov> #3 bc+

 (Rats report that they are in the clients system and have visual on their wing/team beacon)

 <Terekhov> #3 in ez

 (One rat informs dispatch that instancing failed because the client was in an Exclusion Zone.  For more information see Instancing and Avoiding Unwanted PvP)

  <%Velica_Foriana[Dispatch]> John_Tops looks like you are a bit close to the star. Please do the following:
 <%Velica_Foriana[Dispatch]> !sc 3
 <%MechaSqueak[BOT]> John_Tops: Reactivate your thrusters and Frameshift drive, then Un-target everything and jump to supercruise. Fly away from the star for about 5 Ls, then drop back down into normal space.
 <John_Tops> oh ok doing it 
 <Terekhov> #3 in sc

 (Rats report that the client successfully exited the Exclusion Zone and are now in supercruise)

 <Terekhov> #3 fuel+

 (After dropping from supercruise, Terekhov could actually see the client, and confirmed that they’ve sent fuel to the client and received the "Fuel Transfer Complete" message. It’s important to confirm when the fuel transfer is completed, rather than it when it starts — mishaps can and do occur in the time between the limpet is launched and when it reports Fuel Transfer Complete. Refueling, fueling, refueled, fueled, fuel+ or any other variation of fuel should only be used upon success of the first limpet. It shouldn't be used if the rat is fuel scooping or for any other reason than successful refueling of a client)

 <%Velica_Foriana[Dispatch]> !close 3 Terekhov

 (Dispatch confirms Terekhov as the rat that got the First Limpet to the client. The case is closed and the Terekhov can proceed with debriefing the client and filling out paperwork.  For more info on debriefing see Standard Debriefing Protocol. )
