PERMANENT RE-LOCATION

Permanent re-location is a means to dispose of anti-citizens by relocating them to the fortress prison of Nova Prospekt.

Note that this is a one way trip and the character in question will be permanently relocated, effectively removing them from the game world for good.

During preserved-sociostability, all citizens must be processed through M.C.P. before being approved for relocation (if applicable) This does not apply to high-alert states, unless explicitly stated otherwise.


Terminal Verdict

Terminal verdict is the highest form of punishment available to citizens.

Important note: This does not result in a character kill outside EMERGENCY CODE VOID.

If an individual meets the criteria for receiving PERMANENT-RELOCATION then terminal verdict may be administered if ANY of the following conditions are met:

  -Subject is armed and dangerous, and units are unable to capture the target without risking their life
  -Subject is in a restricted zone or about to flee into one.
  -Ordered by Dispatch or RL
  -Fractured (RED) socio-stability
  -Re-administration protocol
  -Discretionary prosecution (EMERGENCY CODE VOID)

Example: A citizen resisting arrest qualifies them for PERMANENT-RELOCATION, attempting to flee into a 603 zone qualifies them for terminal prosecution


Civil Codes & Verdicts

One cycle equals one hour in-game time.

Malcompliance citation is the act of pacifying unruly citizens to remind them of the civil codes.

Penalty points are negative CVD entries on MDC (i.e -10)

Never charge a citizen based on another citizens word. You need sufficient proof. A citizen blaming their injuries on another character is not sufficient.

You are protecting the civilized society, not its citizens.

If a citizen is bleeding or near death during containment, apply a stimdose to ensure they stay alive for the duration of their cycle/questioning

Do not cycle Vortigaunt's as are always charged under SOCIO-ENDANGERMENT LEVEL FIVE and permanently relocated.


When charging a citizen, state any of the following (Falls under cohesive chatter requirement) :

YOU ARE CHARGED WITH  | VIOLATION CODE XX | VIOLATION NAME | VERDICT
Example: Citizen, you are charged with city violation code 15: movement transgression. Prepare to receive civil judgement.
Example: Suspect, you are charged with violation code 603: unlawful entry. Your sentence is five cycles.
Example: Anti-citizen, you are charged with city violation code 243: assault on protection team. Your sentence is permanent-relocation.

PT Assignments

Protection Team assignments will be automatically assigned to active PTs throughout the day. These tasks are affected by the socio-stability. PTs are required to fulfill their given assignment, as they are compulsory.

PTs without an active assignment will be assigned discretionary duty. It is up to the PTL to exercise judgement and focus on an appropriate task. This includes patrolling, interlocking with other PTs, conducting investigations, and performing off-hours customs detail. That being said, discretionary duty is incompatible with public service detail and ration distribution.


Status Definitions

Watchlist

BOL

Socio-stability and Prosecution Codes

Socio-stability is used to accurately represent the probability of socio-destabilization.

Prosecution codes will change based on the sociostability level.

Socio-stability levels directly impact the active prosecution codes, which in return will alter the sentencing.

Ensure you understand the prosecution codes defined at the terminology section before sentencing individuals.

There are six socio-stability alert levels.

PRESERVED

Sociostability is preserved and is not in imminent danger.
Firearms should be unequipped, unless an assets life is in imminent danger.
Firearms may be equipped for prisoner escorts and for breaching.

MARGINAL

Sociostability is considered tolerable, but not optimal. 
Assets should be actively trying to stop the sociocide.
Public service detail is suspended to allocate more patrols.
Firearms may be equipped.


FRACTURED

Socio-stability has been compromised and requires immediate response.
Public service detail, customs and ration distribution is suspended.
Mandatory curfew is put in place.
Firearms may be equipped.


EMERGENCY CODE: VOID

Probability has been deemed inevitable and sentencing is made discretionary. 
Public service detail, customs and ration distribution is suspended.

a) Request authorization from the unit in charge or dispatch and follow the breaching guidelines
b) Request available Overwatch units to breach/sweep the area.

Note that during inspections and apartment sweeps, use of deadly force is always authorized and you should have your firearm equipped at all times.


City Operations

Curfew

Curfew runs between 11:00 PM to 6:00 AM
Citizens must return to their housing blocks prior to 11:30 PM
Violating the curfew without a valid reason results in 603 UNLAWFUL ENTRY.


Workforce Intake Screening

All Citizens must undergo a screening prior to entering the city.

If the citizen is not registered, they are classified as a non-citizen. All non-citizens must undergo a mandatory screening. Non-citizens are always relocated upon committing a transgression, or if found outside workforce intake.

If the citizen is already registered, they may proceed into the city. The officer in-charge of screening may question and search this individual at their own discretion.

This process consists of cross-examining individuals before admitting them into the city perimeter.

All of the following questions must be asked to the individual.


Admittance Questions

Full Name
Age
Education
Previous occupation
Secondary languages


The given answers must match the information that is being displayed on the customs terminal. There are no do overs. Failing any of these questions results in an immediate 505 EVASION BEHAVIOR charge and the individual is permanently-relocated.


Post Admittance

If the individual in question has successfully passed the workforce screening, disclose the following statements word by word before admitting them into the city.

Any form of verbal communication while outdoors is strictly prohibited.

   Engaging in conversation with other members of the Workforce while outdoors is grounds for an immediate malcompliance citation.
Failure to immediately report any and all observed crimes to Civil Protection will classify you as an accomplice to the crime.
   Inaction will be punished severely. If you see something, say something.
All Citizens are required to carry their city issued ID at all times. Failure to abide to rule is grounds for immediate prosecution under Civil Code section 98.
Your designated inspection position is your assigned housing unit. Missing an inspection or failing to remain within your housing unit during an inspection is grounds for immediate prosecution under Civil Code section 505.
By entering City 17, you agree to abide by all laws and regulations set by Ministry of Civil Protection and the Universal Union. Any violation will result in immediate prosecution.
