Greetings, Agent
Your life as an Agent is fraught with peril, but is also one of the most rewarding personal experiences you could possibly know. Some believe they can make a difference in the world, but you literally transform the face of the city with every action. In return for this privileged position, there are certain rights and duties associated with your status as a member of this elite crime-fighting organization. Please adhere to the guidelines listed below.
1. You are the whole of the law. The Agency exists because traditional law enforcement has failed. Upholding and enforcing the law, then, is an Agent's sole purpose. The city and its law-abiding citizens are to be treated with respect. Actions that break the law and do not lead to the capture or termination of criminal elements are strictly prohibited. Failure to adhere to these strictures will result in termination.
2. You must maintain your continued health and viability. The Agency has devoted valuable resources to your regeneration and training. It is your responsibility to protect that investment and avoid squandering Agency resources on additional regeneration or repairs beyond what is necessary. If an Agent disregards his or her health, access to Agency resources may be restricted or even denied.
3. Agents must master the Five Skills in order to progress within Agency ranks.
A. Driving—An Agent is expected to become proficient with all available vehicles. Whether Agency-owned or commandeered, vehicles are crucial to an Agent's continued success on the street.
B. Explosives—Agents are provided with sophisticated explosives before being placed on assignment. Agents will be regularly outnumbered while in pursuit of their duties, and often they will need to break down seemingly impenetrable barriers; superior firepower is therefore required to even the odds and increase the chance of success.
C. Firearms—Agents are expected to become superior marksmen while in pursuit of career criminals. All forms of organized crime ensure their soldiers are proficient with firearms. No Agent can expect to succeed in removing these threats without becoming an expert in all forms of firearms, including those confiscated from dead criminals.
D. Agility—The ability to dodge attacks and access remote, often altitudinous, areas is critical to success in removing gang influence from the streets. All Agents must work to improve their agility while serving in the field
E. Strength—Agents will not always have access to additional ammunition or advanced explosives. An Agent must be capable of stopping criminals quickly and effectively in close-quarters combat, as well as in being able to use his environment to his advantage. All Agents must continually train to increase their strength while serving in the field.
4. Agents must be innovative. While cooperation with other Agents is immensely valuable, it is no replacement for initiative, creativity, and being a self-starter. Success as an Agent requires exploration and using the resources at hand to complete the task before you. Failure to display these qualities will hamper your ability to perform your duty and will be seen as a waste of Agency resources, possibly leading to termination.
With appropriate adherence to these protocols, Agents are expected to have successful and rewarding careers. Regularly review these protocols and keep a link available for reference at all times. Good luck out there, Agent.
