Ranks help keep the facility running smoothly by providing access controls and a progression structure for aspiring researchers. After the tragedy at SPLD01, the Administrator(s) decided to institute a strict hierarchy and never waver from it. Despite rumors, promotions are always given based on merit and not favors.
Interns are the entrypoint for new members at SPLR. They are bestowed with the ability to leave insightful comments and peruse the ample bosom of our overflowing databanks. Interns are promoted rapidly after a short probationary period of constructive activity on site.
This facility boasts a 40% intern retention rate. That means 4/10 SPLR interns are successfully promoted to researchers. The remaining 60% are treated to a free extended stay with us at the bottom of the sea - just not within the confines of the facility.
A promotion to researcher marks the beginning of an illustrious career of research on the ocean's floor. Your standard researcher is the lifeblood of this facility, filling its veins with the fresh knowledge that sustains us. As a researcher, you have the capacity to create and edit documents.
Researchers, having proven their ability in writing and crafting the knowledge base to their vision have been granted expanded capabilities. They are gifted with the ability to create, but also to destroy. Proving themselves as expert curators of the network, they can freely manipulate data entries how they see fit.
Directors are the guiding light that move the masses and shift the foundations of this facility towards new goals. Often, Directors will commission and lead entire programs. Directors are capable of making personnel decisions and are often swift with their decisions.
The Administrator(s) of the facility help keep everything orderly. The identity of the Administrator(s) is not known for their safety. Questions about the Administrator(s) are generally discouraged.
A happy researcher is curious about their research. Not the org chart.
