An Alpha is a medical emergency, a Bravo is a fire, and Kilo is a request for all personnel to report to their emergency posts, which happens in the event of, say, a necessary evacuation. Be wary of Echo, which is called if the ship is starting to drift, or Oscar, which means someone's gone overboard.
