DEPARTMENT: INFORMATION SECURITY AND AMNESICS
Reality is what people remember. The IAS is the final defense of the Veil. Their job is to erase incidents from history, administering amnestics on a massive scale, creating credible cover stories, and decontaminating digital media to ensure normalcy is restored.
Primary Function: Administration of amnestics to individuals and groups, and witness isolation.
Operational Specifics: A unit of 3-4 plainclothes agents, trained to operate in crowds, administer amnesiacs, and extract key witnesses discreetly.
Primary Function: Removal of compromised data and media from digital networks.
Operational Specifics: A team of IT specialists that conducts "cleanup" operations on the internet, deleting videos, articles, and social media posts.
Primary Function: Development of credible narratives to mask anomalous incidents.
Operational Specifics: A group of writers, ex-journalists, and PR experts who develop comprehensive cover stories (e.g., "gas leak", "military exercise").
Primary Function: Design and production of new classes and variants of amnestics.
Operational Specifics: A chemist who works in the department's laboratory to create custom amnestics, optimized for different species or to erase specific types of memories.
Primary Function: Replacement of erased memories with coherent false memories.
Operational Specifics: A psychologist and neurologist who, after an amnestization, implants artificial memories to avoid psychological inconsistencies in the subject.
Primary Function: Creating false evidence to support cover stories.
Operational Specifics: An expert in the fabrication of counterfeit official documents (police reports, death certificates, expert opinions) to make an expedient version unassailable.
Primary Function: Evaluation of the spread of news and the effectiveness of countermeasures.
Operational Specifics: An analyst who does not passively monitor, but measures the virality of a leak and evaluates the effectiveness of a cleanup campaign to optimize resources.
Primary Function: Placement of cover stories in traditional media channels.
Operational Specifics: A former journalist with an extensive network of contacts, able to influence editors and journalists to promote the Foundation's official narrative.
Primary Function: Controlled recovery of memories from amnesticized personnel.
Operational Specifics: A therapist who uses specialized techniques to retrieve specific memories from agents or researchers who have undergone sanitization.
Primary Function: Design of complex and multi-vector cover stories.
Operational Specifics: A specialist who not only writes history, but designs its dissemination across multiple media, creating false witnesses, "experts," and supporting evidence for large-scale events.
Primary Function: Archive of standardized narratives for common incidents.
Operational Specifics: A database of pre-approved and tested cover stories, ready to be deployed immediately (e.g., SDC-001: Gas Leak, SDC-002: Probe Balloon).
Primary Function: Data on the effects of amnestics on different populations.
Operational Specifics: A demographic and biological database that helps choose the most effective amnestic and dosage for a given population, minimizing side effects.
Primary Function: List of journalists and organizations that actively investigate the anomalous.
Operational Specifics: An intelligence dossier on individuals and groups who pose a threat to the Veil, to be monitored, discredited, or avoided.
Primary Function: A classified log of all information leaks and internal security breaches.
Operational Specifics: A highly restricted access archive that documents every information security breach at the Site, for future analysis and to identify recurring patterns.
Primary Function: A database of ready-to-use cover stories and blackmail levers.
Operational Specifics: A restricted-access archive that does not contain fictitious cover stories, but real and compromising (non-anomalous) events concerning governments, corporations, and influential individuals. It allows diverting attention from an anomalous incident by creating a real and controlled scandal elsewhere.
Primary Function: Contacts with law enforcement, governments, and media to legitimize cover stories.
Operational Specifics: A network of influential individuals who can provide official support (e.g., a police chief confirming the "gas leak").
Primary Function: Covert administration of amnestics to a single target.
Operational Specifics: A compressed air device, disguised as an umbrella or walking stick, capable of firing a small dart containing a dose of amnestics.
Primary Function: Planting false evidence at a scene to support a cover story.
Operational Specifics: A briefcase containing materials for simulating fires, creating false explosive residues, or placing other misleading elements at a scene.
Primary Function: Rapid implantation of simple false memories on a single subject.
Operational Specifics: A device that, through contact and hypnotic induction, can implant a simple and standardized memory (e.g., "I saw a deer," "there was a strong smell of gas").
Primary Function: Administration of amnestics to a medium-sized crowd.
Operational Specifics: A backpack or vehicle-mounted unit that can nebulize Class-C or B amnestics in an open-air area such as a square or a street.
Primary Function: Implementation of simple suggestions in a localized population.
Operational Specifics: A device that projects images or emits sounds at barely perceptible frequencies to "suggest" to a crowd to disperse or to forget a minor event.
Primary Function: Prevention of the formation of new short-term memories.
Operational Specifics: A grenade that releases a non-toxic gas that temporarily inhibits the brain's ability to form new memories, ideal for covering a rapid extraction.
Primary Function: Disperse chemical or memetic agents over a vast area.
Operational Specifics: A deployable unit (aviation or ground) that can aerosolize and disseminate over a defined area (e.g., a neighborhood, a small valley) not only amnestics, but also soporific, calming agents, or low-intensity memes, depending on the compound loaded.
Primary Function: Combating cognitive infections (memes) at a public level.
Operational Specifics: An antenna that transmits a memetic "white noise", a signal that does not erase a meme but reduces its virulence and ability to take hold, making it "forgettable".
Primary Function: Guidelines for the application of amnestics based on the severity of exposure.
Operational Specifics: A manual that defines which class of amnestic to use and with which method, depending on the number of witnesses and the nature of the anomalous event.
Primary Function: Procedures for burying a news item on the internet.
Operational Specifics: A strategy that combines DDoS attacks on specific sites, SEO-bombing with keywords, and the use of botnets to flood social media, making information unfindable.
Primary Function: Timings and methods for the coordinated release of a cover story.
Operational Specifics: An action plan that establishes the order for releasing information to institutional contacts and the media to maximize credibility.
Primary Function: Procedures for the secure amnesticization of Foundation personnel.
Operational Specifics: Strict rules for the administration of amnestics to internal staff, which include mandatory psychological support and sessions with a mnestic therapist.
Primary Function: Production and storage of amnestic agents.
Operational Specifics: A high-security chemical laboratory where amnestics supplies are produced, refined, and stored for use by the entire Site.
Primary Function: Custody of all original recordings of anomalous events.
Operational Specifics: A vault that preserves the original copies of videos, photos, and audio that have been removed from public circulation, for future analysis.
