Let Ghosts & Goons see the CL's handled beacon message.

It’s literally in the title. The Liaison’s handled security division beacon requires CL to write a reason.
It’s mostly a way for Moderators & Admins to verify the IC context and decide whatever to send in the goon or not.

In reality, it contains some of the funniest shit I’ve ever written as a CL. It’s also, as mentioned, provides great context to the round. I find it strange how arriving bodyguards are not briefed to the current threats on the mission of protecting the CL, when the message often tells it outright. It’s alright for them to not know about the xenomorps, for example, they are just a Weymart cop afterall, but coming in comepletely blind is borderline illogical. there should be a popup stating it to the arriving goon upon spawn, giving them the IC info they need.

And, to be honest, it will also, again, add a lot more insight into the round for Ghosts, and will make them genuinely die from laughter when CL writes a three-page long novel of a CFL presence, attacks from the crew, needed help with the upcoming inspection and a literal monster in the vents (all of that at the same the same time) only for the staff to ignore it. The other example is a mutiny round. Mutiny starts, CL gets shot, BEGS for HELP with a hilarious paragraph of a describtion of an actual hell on the ship. Gets ignored, still adds a lot of immersiveness, like faxes that ghosts too can read.

Implementing at least one of these, either for ghosts or for goons, will be great. Both - fantastic.

Not a bad idea. Ghosts can already see faxes IIRC.

Hard agree, once as a WY lawyer I arrived to the station because the CL wanted us to break out a random ass SG from a 15 minute brig sentence.
