"Military Intelligence is a contradiction in terms" - Groucho Marx
Overview
Good job Intelligence Officer. 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 Ensign, 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 to lower the DEFCON threat level to give your battalion some extra fire power. Get to it Officer, that threat level isn't gonna lower itself!
Intelligence Officer Area
The intelligence officer has their unique area where they decode and catalog 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.
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.
Equipment

The Data Detector highlights any documents or objects that is on your screen and a few tiles off screen. For example, if a document is on the other side of a wall, it will be highlighted and give off a high-pitched pinging sound. Hold the data detector in your hand or store it in your belt slot, and turn it on either by clicking on it or Z (in hotkey mode).

|
A system used by the USCM for retrieving objects of interest on the ground from a AUD-25 dropship. Can be used to extract unrevivable corpses or crates, typically lasting around 3 minutes in the air. There are 10 uses in the stack. | |
|
A pouch used to hold documents for safe keeping. Can hold 21 items. | |
|
An experimental brain-bucket that works better as a brain-plate. Moderately better at deflecting blunt objects at the cost of humiliation. But who will be laughing at the memorial? Not you, you'll be busy getting medals for your intel work. | |
|
A well tinkered and crafted hybrid of Smart-Gunner mesh and M3 pattern plates. Robust, yet nimble, with room for all your pouches. |
Documents/Data retrieval.
Listed below are the items of importance hidden about the Area of Operations. You're gonna need to find them and more then likely bring them back to the ship's storage for safe keeping.

|
A piece of paper located somewhere on the map. It can be found on the ground, on tables, inside filing cabinets, or inside lockers. Paper scraps take about 2 seconds to analyze while progress reports take about 5 seconds, providing you with the location of a folder. You will be indicated whether it should be returned to the Almayer. Once on the Almayer place them on the racks in the computer lab. |
|
A folder located somewhere on the map. It can be found on the ground, on tables, cabinets, or inside lockers. It takes about 10 seconds to analyze, providing you with the location of a data disk and its encryption key. You should return it to the Almayer.Once on the Almayer place them on the racks in the computer lab. |
|
A floppy disk located somewhere on the map. It can be found on the ground, on tables, or inside lockers. Return it to the Almayer so that someone with the disk's decryption key can decrypt it in the universal disk reader, potentially providing you with an item to retrieve or a console to analyze. Once the data has been scanned place them on the racks in the computer lab. |
|
A computer located in certain areas of the map. They can be found in rooms of importance and require a password from a decrypted Data Disk. Once the correct password is used, information from the terminal will be sent back towards the ship, increasing the intelligence gathered. |
Search And 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.
