| 1. I've heard people talking about leave, what is it?
Leave is a state of activity on Outpost 10F where your duties and responsibilities are voluntarily suspended. People usually go on leave to be able to dedicate more time to offline life or when they will not have Internet or computer access. Going on leave will not affect any of your regular departmental duties, with the exception that you will not be expected to perform any departmental activities while on leave.

When you return, you may or may not be eligible to return to the department. This will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

If you are going away just before your report is due, you may submit it normally via email. If you are going away after that month’s report, and you are still offline for the next report period, that’s fine. Just submit the next report you can when you’re back.
