(NDI) Guide to New Dawn Initiative

NDI: Guide to New Dawn Initiative

     To understand anomalies, one must understand the necessary principals and procedures that NDI adheres to. This guide will familiarize yourself with the basic structure and hierarchy of the organization, as well as their classifications of anomalous entities. This covers threat level for anomalous containment; security clearances, field operatives, tactical response teams, researchers, engineers, doctors and administration for staff and clearance levels; personnel classifications for individuals of interests and subjects.

Security Clearance:

Security clearances represents an object’s highest importance of interest to the organization. Of which, only select members of the staff’s position will have access to. This is done to keep personnel on a ‘need-to-know’ basis.

Omni: The Omni clearance is a restricted clearance level given only to that of The Director of the organization. This clearance gives The Director unlimited control access to all classified data, strategic assets, military and economic resources. The Omni clearance is also the only clearance that will allow The Director to initiate Protocol: Clean Slate.

Alpha: Alpha clearances are granted to the Alpha-9 Administration Council members and key individual Site Administrators. The A-9 Council are given exclusive site-wide and international intelligence reports and resources. These individuals are also given access to research and operation projects

Beta: Beta clearances are given to Site Administrators. Admins are granted access to site regional data, research and project reports, and intelligence. This clearance also gives site admins access to site based research projects and anomalous testing.

Gamma: The Gamma clearance gives senior security and research personnel full access of in-depth data regarding anomalous objects and entities. This includes behavioral studies, containment procedures, and information about anomaly’s origins, recovery and description. Tactical response teams and field operatives are also given Gamma clearance.

Delta: Delta clearance gives standard research personnel partial access to information of anomalies both in containment and on the field in site proximity. This access is also applicable for site engineers and doctors.

Epsilon: Epsilon clearances are given non-essential and low ranking personnel with little to no access on operations or anomalous activities.

Staff Listing:

Administration:

The Director:

 The position of Director is given to the highest authority of the Initiative. The current director as of date is still held by the founder of the Initiative. With complete access to all Initiative information regarding to anomalies, strategic assets and intelligence along with substantial indirect support from the government, The Director oversees all Initiative operations. The identity of The Director is classified and must be referred to as (The) Director.

Alpha-9 Council Member:

The Alpha-9 Council, or A-9, is a council of representatives made up of the most esteemed and highest-ranking Site Administrators. The council helps operate Initiative directives and are active in operation managements given to them by The Director. Although at any given time, The Director may revoke an Administrator from his/her position in the A-9 Council if they are flagged as incompetent and a liability. Each of the 9 administrators operate in 9 primary High-Priority Initiative Bases. A9 council members must not come into contact with anomalies with a threat level greater than Class Yellow. 

Site Administrator:

Site Admins are high-ranking key individuals operating in their respective sites that they are assigned to. They are responsible for the management of Site operations, resources, testing and research. Site Administrators actively report to the A-9 council on a monthly basis to turn in reports.

Military Personnel:

Field Operative:

Highly trained, tactical and strategic military operatives. These are the eyes and ears of Initiative operations. They are deployed to investigate signs of anomalous dangers and activity. Operating in intelligence agencies, government positions, law enforcement, emergency services and corporate organizations. While they are undercover operatives, they are outfitted to deal with rival groups of interests seeking to impede Initiative progress as well as handle certain cases of confirmed anomalous activity. But this is a rarity as often they are not capable of handling hostile entities on their own. Field Operatives are required to radio in tactical response teams for recovery operations.

Tactical Response Team:

Tactical Response Teams have two major priorities on the field: The containment of anomalous objects, hostile or otherwise and the counter response to aggravating groups of interests. Tactical Response teams also have a third major priority required on site and that is the defense of Initiative facilities and all their assets. They are often heavily armed and armored to deal with any high level threats.

Site Staff:

Researcher:

Researchers are the primary scientific branch positioned to the study and testing of anomalous entities. Many research personnel are of the most intelligent and educated individuals garnered from across the planet. Many with fields of expertise ranging in metaphysical studies, chemistry, physics, biology, cryptology, archeology, mythology, theology, theoretical physics and more. Their goal is to determine the nature of the anomalies and how they can be best used for human interests, countered or contained for our protection.

Security Specialist:

Chief of the security division for site. They operate according to site layout and containment procedures. They have access to all information regarding the layout and how to best operate in the secure containment of anomalous entities, and how to best deal with them in case of a breach. The chief is responsible for providing all information for security personnel regarding anomalies and information.

Security Personnel:

Commonly referred to as guards. They are the first line of defense of the facility. They operate based on the chief’s directions and are given the same access and information as the chief of security. They are responsible for the safe and well-being of all staff personnel on site, as well as maintaining order in events of a breach or riot.

Standard Personnel:

Standard Personnel are often referred to individuals of special interests that the Initiative classifies based on their background.

Class-1

Volunteer personnel. Drafted civilians given opportunity to handle with Green or Blue level anomalies. These tests are done to ensure the potential of the anomalous object’s use for the future. After substantial testing have been done, memory wipes will be administered after the end of the week.

Class-2

A majority of Site Staff personnel with direct access to anomaly. Mainly they deal in Blue, Green and Yellow threat anomalies. However, there are exceptions where Class-2 Personnel are not allowed near mind-effecting anomalous entities or objects.

Class-3

Expendable personnel. These individuals are selected to deal with high-threat anomalous entities from Yellow, Red and to Black. However, they are also permitted to handle with Blue and Green level anomalies. The majority of Class-3 personnel are unnoticeable or undesirable individuals. NDI often elects individuals from prison, mainly death row or life sentenced inmates. Other sources include political prisoners, asylum inmates, refugees or homeless individuals. After substantial services to the Initiative, a majority of these personnel are given memory wipes and released back into society. Other times these personnel are terminated.

Anomalous Threat Level:

Anomalies have a variety of properties and behavior that have an effect on the environment and individuals. However, these behaviors vary from anomaly to anomaly.

Blue Class:

Anomalies that have been deemed hazard free, safe, and/or understood by Initiative personnel. Most Blue Class threats have little to no dangerous effects that are direct or indirect and are often a subject of potential use for the Initiative and human interests.

Green Class:

Anomalies with little to no hostilities or threats. These Green classes aren’t considered life threatening or dangerous in anyways. However, if utilized in such a manner, Green Class anomalies can become a threat, directed or otherwise. Cautionary use of these anomalies are common practice and are rarely used extraneously. Green Class anomalies can sometimes be used for the containment of other anomalies and defense of site personnel.

Yellow Class:

These anomalies are unpredictable in nature and have a detrimental effect for both humans and the environment. Whether they are intentional or not are subjects to debate and research. Yellow Class objects are not recommended for Initiative use. However, one can request permission from A-9 or The Director if sufficient research proves the anomaly can provide benefits. May likely to cause containment breaches.

Red Class:

Dangerous anomalies. More unpredictable than those of Yellow class, with a clear, inherent and sufficient direct or indirect threat to the safety of Mankind and the Initiative. Red Classes are not to be trifled with. Extensive research must be carried out in order to understand these anomalies and provide counter measures against them. More than likely to breach containment and as such, measures to properly confine these anomalies are put in place. Termination of these objects are often a last resort option. They are forbidden to use in under any circumstances.

Black Class:

Black Class anomalies are considered to be the most dangerous, unstable and destructive anomalies capable of End World scenarios. Some are even considered a threat to reality or multiple realities. Each scenario differs based on the nature of the object however. Great consideration of handling these anomalies are being routinely discussed and researched in order to effectively contain or terminate them.

Anomaly Types:

Solar: Solar type anomalies are active, physical and defined anomalies that have a direct observable effect on reality and the environment around them. Certain items are limited, however, these anomalies can still exceed their influence upon the material world. A majority of Solar types are sentient anomalies and much of these Solar types are easily understood and/or explained. Solars range from blue, to green, yellow and red.

Lunar: Lunar type anomalies are subtle, elusive, sometimes contradictory anomalies that act on both on physical and metaphysical level of reality. A majority of these anomalies are often non-sentient however there are exceptions. Many Lunar types have no clear defined cause, but observable effects. Understanding how they operate or discerning their origins are challenging. Lunars range from green, yellow, red and black.
