Issue Description

There was a vortex anomaly, I was a maintenance drone. I clicked the anomaly notification when it appeared and was able to ghost temporarily, reentering my body.

This was the first time I'd ever been a maintenance drone so I tried to just ghost normally and wasn't able to reenter my body. The drone fabricator told me to wait ten minutes like I would expect.

What did you expect to happen?

Probably just no popup for vortex anomaly at all, unable to ghost temporarily.

What happened instead?

Ghosted and re-entered my body after viewing a lovely beautiful amazing high-intensity vortex anomaly.

Why is this bad/What are the consequences?

Maints drones shouldn't be able to witness the entirety of the station while maintaining their mortal coil, I guess.

Steps to reproduce the issue.

• Be maints drone
• Anomaly (maybe other events too?) happens
• Click the notification to ghost and spectate
• Reenter body normally

When did the problem start happening?

Noticed today 10/30/24
