"''Military Intelligence is a contradiction in terms.''" - Groucho Marx

= Overview =
Good job '''Intelligence Officer''' (IO). Seems you're now in the position of '''scouring the Area of Operations and securing any intelligence you find for the brass'''!
Got yourself the rank of Second Lieutenant, a nice sidearm, some fancy equipment and have gotten the job of '''collecting all the incriminating evidence, sorting it all and decoding everything you find'''. High Command wants you to collect enough intelligence in the area to warrant them grant more tech points to give your battalion some extra fire power. Stay in communication gathering Intelligence on the Intelligence Channel (:t) to better organize your search. Get to it Second Lieutenant, that intel isn't going to collect itself!

== Intelligence Officer Area ==


The intelligence officer has their unique area where they decode and catalogue all the data they have. Whether it would be an item, scrap of paper or folder, you'll need to process them and put them into storage to be safely accounted for.

[[File:Computer lab.png]]

In this area you'll be greeted with your information-finding equipment in your locker, the computer lab where you'll decode disks and a place to store all that precious information.
Those computers will need disks and passwords to be decoded and you are the prime candidate to search and retrieve them.

'''XM4 Pattern Intel Armor'''
|style="border: 2px solid black; padding: 5px;"|Tougher than steel, quieter than whispers, the XM4 Intel Armor provides capable protection combined with an experimental integrated motion tracker. It took an R&D team a weekend to develop and costs more than the Chinook Station... probably. When worn, uniform accessories such as webbing cannot be attached due to the motion sensors occupying the clips.

The XM4 Soldier Awareness System mixes M4-style hard armor and a distributed series of motion sensors clipped onto the breastplate.

=Documents/Data retrieval.=

== Item Retrieval ==
Sometimes when uploading data disks or data terminals, ARES will occasionally ask you to retrieve items with specific serial code numbers. You can examine items to see what their serial code is.

===Retrieval of Research Assets.===
The Company has promised to pay High Command to supply Tech Points, if your researchers manage to identify any lost research assets from the colony.

== Search & Retrieve ==
This is a very simple task. You search for documents, you retrieve the document and you store them into storage. Sounds easy right? Well it is.
The hard part of this job is that you're gonna usually be alone out there, with little to no support if you're hunting for Intel alone.


Documents and objects of interest will be scattered all over the area of operations. Whether they're in lockers, on the floor or anywhere in buildings, it's up to you to find them all. Your trusty data detector will help you find these items with ease. It'll help you detect anything worth bring back to the Almayer for processing and storage.


Items in safes can not be opened with [[Marine_Equipment#C4_Explosive_Charge|C4]] or [[Chemistry#Thermite|Thermite]].

== Cataloging and sorting data ==
When you've been gathering folders, scraps of paper or anything in the field that is considered valuable to Tech Points. It is important to sort out what you've read through and what needs to be read through.<br /><br />

It is recommended that all intel items requiring processing be put in '''Storage''' and processed intel items in the '''High-Sec Storage'''.<br /><br />

Disks should also be sorted into encrypted and decrypted piles so as not to waste efforts on finished tasks.<br /><br />

If you have lost track of what is left to retrieve, open the '''IC > View objective clues''' tab.<br/><br />

A key objective is to find decryption disks in order to reduce the Tech Points. In order to do that,

1. Read all the scraps.

2. Check if you have the folders ship-side already. If not, broadcast the clues to the Intelligence chat to any planet-side IOs to retrieve them.

3. Once the right folder is retrieved, read it and the decryption disk will be revealed along with its decryption key.

4. Check if you have the disk on ship-side. If not, broadcast the clues to the Intelligence chat to any planet-side IOs to retrieve them.

5. Load the disk onto one of the ARES terminals, enter the decryption key and continue with the cataloging.

=The Tech Tree=

Although you may not usually be interacting with this, it's good to remember what points can go to what.
