Warlocks Expectations

• Your job is to conduct tests on SCPs so that we can learn more about them and how they can help us. You are not necessarily restricted to SCPs on the server, so feel free to be creative.

• Follow the MOTD at all times; if anything in the SOP contradicts the MOTD, then do as the MOTD says.

• You are a professional agent; make sure you act accordingly. If you are deemed unfit for Warlocks Division, you will be removed.

  • Warlocks takes priority over all standard interrogations; the only exception is for the following identities after learning who they are.  (That is, they must be offered to the Warlocks Division personnel before proceeding.) 

  • Individuals captured and revealed to be SF, HCMD, or other clearance Four personnel: B7 > CED> Warlocks in the ranking order (highest to lowest).

  • Captured individuals are revealed to have Agency Knowledge but are not cleared. 4: CED> R&D in the ranking order (highest to lowest).

  • S8 and CED that capture their own personnel are exempt from these regulations.

• To ensure your safety, you must be escorted by a Serpent's Hand combative operative during all interrogations and testing.

• Warlocks Division may only conduct onsite testing and/or utilizations. If you are capable of testing/utilizing the SCP, you are permitted to do so.

Interrogation Guidelines

Warlocks Division are the primary personnel to do interrogations in base, The following explains the rules for interrogations and how to perform them

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

• There must always be a combative escort present during a SH interrogation.

• 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:  Warlocks Division Requesting the Hostage (If Applicable) > WD in Ranking Order > S8 >  Lord/Prophet

• CL 4+ Interrogation Priority: S8 > CED> WD in Ranking Order > Lord/Prophet Command in Ranking Order

• 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

• 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).

• 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, etc). 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!
  (Do not be overly detailed in your torture. If you are making others uncomfortable and are asked to stop, stop.)

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

• The accumulation of a torture point can be voided by 1 Battle Priest .

  • This is done by a separate contested roll off after torture is done. If the Battle Priest 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.

• 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.

• The rank one knows is based on their ranking job group.

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

• All Foundation Level 4+ Personnel

• All SH Sovereign+

• Serpent's Fang

• CED

• 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.

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