Protocol Saletum

Protocol Saletum is the contingency plan in any event that the Epsilon-8 Data gets leaked to remove any evidence of Epsilon-8 existing. in the event that Saletum is engaged, Epsilon-8, Charlie-7, and any other Laboratory data is to be extracted and transported to a safe location to be safely stored.

Engaging Protocol Saletum

To begin the detonation sequence, the warhead must first be primed. Once the prime button is pressed, an administrative or override keycard must be inserted into the authorization slot. Once this is done, a 40-second priming sequence will begin, allowing for the cancellation button to be pressed at any time during this period, cancelling the warhead and returning it to a 40-minute countdown. If the system is not cancelled by the time the priming concludes, the "ARM" button may be pressed to continue the sequence. Once the arming button is pressed, a 12-minute countdown begins, in which two warhead arming keys must be inserted into the detonation panel key slots. These keys can be found scattered around the facility, and must be returned and inserted into the key slots. Once they are inserted and turned, the glass casing over the detonation button will unlock, and the button may be pressed. After the detonation button is pressed, an administrative or override keycard must be inserted into the authorization slot one final time, before beginning a 200 second countdown to detonation. At any time during this countdown, an administrative keycard may be inserted to cancel the warhead entirely.

Protocol Saletum Evacuation Protocol

Due to the highly classified nature of Protocol Saletum, upon beginning of the engagement sequence, the surface area and all alternative exits are to be locked down to ensure information of Protocol Saletum remains secure. Upon detonation being confirmed, all non-combative personnel are to evacuate to the Topside Tartarus Zone Emergency Assembly point. All non-combative personnel attempting to leave the facility grounds during the detonation process are to be terminated immediately. All combative personnel are to defend Tartarus Control rooms and ensure that all administrative and high priority visitors are safely secured at topside, as well as making sure the Tartarus door properly seals no later than the 20 second mark. After detonation, all non-combative and non-administrative personnel are to be detained and transported to an offsite location for questioning and [DATA EXPUNGED].
