Research & Development SOP

Interrogation Guidelines

R&D  are the primary personnel to do interrogations in base, The following explains the rules for interrogations and how to perform them

1. Interrogations may last up to 30 minutes from the start of the interrogation. The first question being asked constitutes the start of an interrogation.

2. There must always be a military escort present during a CI interrogation. It is also highly recommended to have 1 Bio-Engineer present to assist an active interrogation for reasons listed in future rules.

3. Interrogation Priority is different depending on the hostage, it is to be assumed they aren't CL4+ or Agency Personnel unless evidence shows otherwise. You MUST offer the hostage to each group higher than you in the queue before you can perform the interrogation yourself.

   • Standard Interrogation Priority:  R&D Requesting the Hostage (If Applicable) > R&D in Ranking Order > E4 > EOI > Delta Command in Ranking Order

   • CL 4+ Interrogation Priority: E4 > EOI > R&D in Ranking Order > Delta Command in Ranking Order

4. Whenever a hostage is asked a question they have the following choices:

   • Tell the Truth (No Roll Required)

   • Attempt to Lie/Deflect (Contested Roll)

     • During these rolls no assists are allowed

5. If the hostage lies or deflects the question and wins the roll off, then they do so successfully and you must believe them for the remainder of the interrogation. If the interrogator manages to win the roll off however then they can elect to use torture (No assists).

6. If the interrogator wins a lie roll and elects to use torture, they can RP out the torture method in a variety of ways as long as it's appropriate (breaking fingers, electrocution; water boarding). It is then a second roll off between the hostage and the interrogator. If the interrogator wins this roll then the hostage must answer truthfully. If the hostage wins the roll however then they are not required to tell the truth, the interrogator can elect to use torture multiple times but should keep in mind the limitations below and strategize accordingly!

7. Using a torture method accumulates 1 torture point regardless of the outcome. You have a total of up to 5 torture points you can use.

   • The accumulation of a torture point can be voided by 1 Bio-Engineer. This is done by a separate contested roll off after torture is done. If the medical personnel wins this roll off then the torture point is voided, if the hostage wins then a torture point is still accumulated.

   • Upon the 5th torture point being used, if the hostage wins then they are dead and you must terminate them. If the interrogator wins then the hostage must answer the question truthfully, and then the hostage goes unconscious meaning they can no longer be questioned for further information.

8. The rank one obtains in interrogation is what you use to sell them. Meaning if they lie about their rank successfully, you must sell them as the rank they said they were.

9. The rank one knows is based on their ranking job group, please see this document for knowledge of personnel

10. The following personnel possess concealed cyanide which cannot be detected in a weapons & comms strip.

    • All Foundation Level 4+ Personnel

    • All CI Gamma Command+

    • E4

    • EOI

11. An individual equipped with concealed cyanide may use it at any point during an interrogation. If they use it then a roll off ensues between the interrogator & the hostage. If the hostage wins then they consume it successfully and must be killed. If the interrogator wins then the cyanide is taken from the hostage and the interrogation resumes.

    • 1 Bio-Engineer is allowed to assist the interrogator in this roll off.

12. If the interrogation concludes without the hostage dying then they can be sold back to their original faction or be executed.

    • If consent is given, they may be brainwashed in accordance with the brainwashing SOP.

Brainwashing Guidelines

When R&D completes an interrogation, they may perform a brainwashing of the hostage for the purposes of sabotaging foundation operations depending on your R&D Rank.

   • Simple RP Task (such as cleaning base, healing CI for one raid, or stealing intel from the foundation)

   • Capture 1 foundation member

SCP 3033 Brainwashing Rules

SCP 3033 Brainwashing involves implanting rudimentary cranial implants that allow the operator basic control of the victim. The foundation designates the victim SCP 3033-1 and the operator SCP 3033-2. This procedure while having a higher risk of failure can allow better control of the person then chemical injection would.

1. Only Senior Agent+, and E4 Trauma can initiate this type of brainwashing.

   • Bio-Engineers, E4 Trauma's, and lower ranking R&D are allowed to assist.

2. Due to the intensive nature of this brainwashing, you must roll a 60+ to successfully brainwash, you only get 1 attempt for doing so and failure results in the hostage's death.

3. The brainwashed victim has 30 minutes to complete their task after which they must find a way to terminate themselves.

   • Upon completion of their task they must be terminated.

   • Assassinate 1 HCMD or 2 Command from a specific branch

HLPR Bot Hacking Rules

Hacking HLPR Bots involves bypassing the system responsible for them being loyal to the foundation and making them loyal to CI temporarily allowing CI to use the HLPR Bot in a multitude of ways to help with CI operations within the facility.

1. To hack a HLPR bot, you must go up to it and type "/me hacks HLPR Bot" and then perform a contesting roll with no assists.

2. If you fail to hack the HLPR Bot you cannot harm them and they cannot harm you.

   • Failed hack attempts will result in them adverting a failed hack attempt as well as the location.

3. Only Supervisory Agent+, Dr Maynard, E4, EOI, and LTCMDR+ can hack HLPR Bots.

4. Once a mode is set it cannot be changed

   • Intel Mode: The HLPR bot will report info to CI for up to 10 minutes such as the location of lvl 4 personnel, movement of mtf and security forces. 

   • Escort Mode: The HLPR bot will escort the individual wherever they need to go and perform tasks such as opening doors and protecting the hacker from harm.

   • Kill Mode: The HLPR bot will target all foundation personnel on site, be advised that this could result in the termination of EOI & Dr Maynard.

   • Kidnap Mode: The HLPR bot will target a specific foundation personnel of your choice (hcmd+ cannot be targeted by this).

Utilization Guidelines

One of the main things R&D can do when we don't have any test idea or just want to directly benefit CI is to utilize SCPs in a direct manner. These are risky utilizations that often come with side effects and even a chance of death but they can in return give us amazing advantages that can turn any battle in our favor.

General Utilization Rules

1. You can only utilize on SCPs you are capable of testing on, so an JA could not do a utilization on SCP-682.

   • If you need permission to test on the SCP, you can utilize on it still.

   • CI R&D Testing/Utilization Guidelines

2. Once you do an in-base utilization, you cannot do another one on that SCP until it is recontained by the foundation.

3. All utilizations must be performed by R&D Agents and Bioengineers.

   • LT-CMDR+ are exempt from this rule and may perform utilizations on any job.

4. There must be 50+ players online to perform a utilization.

5. Utilized personnel may not attend mech raids, but may attend Echo 5 raids.

6. The following personnel cannot be utilized on:

   • Dr. Maynard

   • Praxede's Fist (Kronos and Dolos)

   • CI R&D Agents

   • CI Conscript (Unless they have a rank in CI Military)

   • CI Infiltrator (Unless they have a rank in CI Military)

Roll Guidelines

0-39 = The individual(s) who are being utilized are dead and you must move on.

40-79 = The individual(s) being utilized on get both the buff & the nerf listed.

80+ = The individual(s) being utilized receives only the buff listed.

SCP Utilization Reading Guide

Buff = The positive effect the individual or individuals get.

Nerf = The negative the individual or individuals get.

# of People = Number of people that can be utilized from a single utilization.

Elixir Guidelines

One of the most powerful things R&D can do to give small or major temporary buffs to other Chaos Insurgency operatives. These can be made whenever nothing else is currently happening like a test, or a utilization is on cooldown. Some of these elixirs can cause massive chaos when used correctly, and have the site go into mass panic.

General Utilization Rules

1. Do not use elixir number 1 while inside of the base.

2. Do not use elixir number 14 on other members of the Chaos Insurgency.
