Emergency Manual 1[]

To that end, the Director may also request assistance from the Secrecy Preservation Unit.

As for the Secrecy Preservation Unit, they may request permission to fire from the Institute Director if necessary.

All efforts should be made to secure the L5 subject alive, but if that proves obstructive to maintaining secrecy, their life may be forfeit.

At all times, maintaining secrecy and preventing exposure will be of the highest priority. However, preserving secrecy will take priority over preventing exposure.
