-Whisper messages can be sent by starting your message with [color=#a4885c][keybind="FocusWhisperChatWindow"/][/color] and Emotes can be sent by starting your message with ([color=#a4885c]@[/color]).
-You can also cycle through all of these text channels by pressing [keybind="CycleChatChannelForward"/].

-To send a [color=#a4885c]station-wide[/color] message over the radio preface, use the [color=#32cd32]Common[/color] channel by beginning your text with [color=#32cd32]semi-colon (;)[/color].

People standing right next to you might catch bits of your radio message, even if they don't have the access to the relevant radio channel. Watch for eavesdroppers.
## Departmental Radio

[color=#a4885c]Encryption keys[/color] give you access to their respective channel.

Examining our engineering headset from earlier shows us [color=#32cd32]Common[/color] and [color=#f37746]Engineering[/color] because an engineer's headset starts with those [color=#a4885c]encryption keys[/color].

You can take out encryption keys by using a [color=#a4885c]screwdriver[/color] on a headset. New encryption keys are put into headsets by clicking on one with an encryption key in your hand.
All command members have extras of their relevant encryption key, but you can also request one at the HoP's office when you're getting your job changed.
## OOC Channels
-OOC (out-of-character) channels exist outside of the game world. They are LOOC, OOC and Dead chat.
+OOC (out-of-character) channels exist outside of the game world; in them you are not speaking as your character, but as yourself! They are the Help, Dead and OOC chat.
+
+[bold]Help[/bold] chat lets you ask other players near you questions about the game. It has the same range as Local chat and can be used even if your character couldn't normally speak.
+
+[bold]Dead[/bold] chat is the main chat you use when you're dead. It's global and can be heard across the game, but only by other dead players.
-LOOC is on during the rounds, OOC is typically off until the round ends and you can only see and talk in Dead chat when you are, well, dead.
+[bold]OOC[/bold] is the main global chat heard by every player, and is therefore typically off until the round ends.
Do not discuss the current round in the Discord or in OOC if it's on during the round.
