Editing ST Phobos/Doomsday (section)

= STARFLEET ADVISORY =
All ship Captains are advised that the existence of additional examples of the Doomsday Machine is a possibility that cannot be ignored. Standing Orders in the event of contact with a Doomsday Machine are as follows:
# The primary duty of all Starfleet personnel in the event of encountering a Doomsday Machine shall be to render said Machine harmless through any means at their Disposal.
# The lives of civilians and the protection of Federation worlds are to be considered of paramount importance.
# When encountered and rendered harmless, the Doomsday Machine is to be kept out of the hands of unfriendly powers capable of profiting from study of the Machine's technology, except where adherence to this directive would conflict with either of the first two directives.
# When encountered and rendered harmless, the Doomsday Machine is to be preserved for study by Federation scientific teams, except where adherence to this directive would conflict with either of the first three directives.
# Any ship or vessel that contacts a Doomsday Machine is instructed to gather all possible scientific information regarding the Machine's origins, capabilities, and behavior, and transmit same to the nearest starbase or other Starfleet facility, except where adherence to this directive would conflict with either of the first four directives.
# Where possible, the Kirk Defense is to be attempted as a method of deactivating a Doomsday Machine. Starfleet personnel are authorized to use whatever means necessary to carry out these directives, within the limits of judgement, and in accordance with normal Starfleet and Federation laws and procedures governing the use of Starfleet authority with civilian, governmental and foreign persons or bodies. 
# In the event the Kirk Defense proves unfeasible or unsuccessful, and in the absence of other alternatives, Starfleet personnel are ordered to make any sacrifice of equipment, or lives essential to the achievement of the primary duty.
