Employee Locator

The Employee Locator is an item-class signal beacon that detects the pagers carried by nearby GATE employees. Its sole documented function is to sense the pager signals emitted by GATE staff within its detection area and report their presence so the player can identify where personnel are located relative to the beacon.

As a detection device tied specifically to GATE pagers, the Employee Locator does not identify other electronic devices or non-GATE characters; its purpose is explicitly to find the paging signals of GATE employees. Because it operates by sensing those pager transmissions, the Employee Locator is directly useful whenever locating GATE personnel is required for objectives, interaction, or situational awareness.

Practical notes and interactions:

• Primary purpose: reveal the presence and approximate whereabouts of nearby GATE employees by detecting their pager signals.
• Scope: the device is specialized to GATE staff pagers and does not serve as a general-purpose tracker for other factions or non-pager equipment.
• Use cases: employ the Employee Locator when you need to find GATE personnel for dialogue, mission objectives, aid, or to assess friendly versus hostile forces in an area.
• Limitations: the item’s described function is limited to detecting pager signals; it does not claim to provide identification details beyond the fact that a GATE employee’s pager is detectable.
• Integration: because detection is based on pager transmissions, the beacon is relevant in scenarios where GATE employees carry active pagers; it is ineffective if such pagers are absent or inactive.

The Employee Locator therefore functions as a focused situational tool for operations involving GATE personnel. It streamlines the task of locating staff by homing in on the specific radio/pager signals those employees carry, making it a purpose-built instrument for encounters and objectives that involve GATE members.
