I've got two points I'd like to bring up about bieng a watchman and notifications.

Requesting backup:

Is there any chance one of our items can have an "instant backup call" option additional to going through the wand, as the wand activates a convo and can't be used in combat, or is this the intention? Make it "immediate" backup if so (i.e. emergency Help message).

Reporting crimes:

The crime report message ive noticed is a backup call, which tends to send us all running at top speed to an emergency when it's not neccesarily needed.

Any chance the message can be "crime reported?" or "watchman required" rather than "X is requesting backup at..." for a report.

Also side note: pressing escape in the "backup" menu on the wand sends you to the "which type" node. This can be closed with escape. Not really important.
