Internal Security Department Handbook

The Internal Security Department investigates leaks, infiltration and misconduct inside the Foundation.

1. Ranks

The Clearance column is the Site Clearance a rank usually holds at the member's posting. It is granted by that site's Director and does not carry to other sites or to Site-01 (Directive 001).

2. Duties

1. Investigate suspected leaks of classified information.
2. Find and report infiltrators from the Chaos Insurgency and other groups.
3. Investigate misconduct by personnel and refer charges to the Internal Tribunal.
4. Vet personnel for Level 4 and above.

3. Investigations

1. An investigation is opened by the Director of Internal Security, on the order of a Site Director or the O5 Council, or on the findings of an Ethics Committee audit.
2. Inspectors may interview any member of personnel, with Security present.
3. Findings go to the Internal Tribunal or the O5 Council, never to the person investigated. Findings against a member of the O5 Council go to the Ethics Committee, and against a member of the Ethics Committee to the O5 Council (Charter, Article III).

4. In the story

Investigations, accusations and verdicts are roleplay. A real complaint about a member goes to a Moderator under the Disciplinary Code.

5. What the department writes

Investigation reports, interview logs and posts, usually at Level 4. Reviews and approvals follow Foundation Directive 003.

6. Joining

By appointment of the O5 Council, from personnel at Level 3 or above.
