Security Department Heads
 

Ani (Dayshift) & Uni (Nightshift) Puma 

     These twin siblings have been in charge of the Security Department 
since the doors of the Chainsman Institute were opened. 
     They normally are in charge of handling paperwork, but both Ani and 
Uni can still be seen patrolling parts of the building, and every now and 
then they throw themselves into a scrape started by an unruly patient. 
     Happy and cheerful, both twins appear to not be paying attention to 
what is happening around them most of the time.  But Ani and Uni have 
run a tight ship with the Department and there hasn't been an escape from 
the Institute yet despite everything that's been tried.
     Well, actually there have been one or two incidents but their record is
still excellent and superior to Security at to most institutions.  We're very
lucky to have them on the staff.
     Still they do have some odd habits, and seeing them eat machinery parts
or turn their huge bodies into the forms of 7-year olds is somewhat disturbing
when you see it for the first time.  Please do not be too unsettled 
since such a reaction could mean getting you automatically committed. 
     With the Orderlies tasked with patient control and Security in charge of 
handling security breaches there is some overlap of duties between the two
departments.  However Security is wholly in charge of handling external
threats to the Institute.
     Yes, it's a very real danger.  You will understand that many of our 
involuntary committal cases have similarly unbalanced friends and associates 
who resent our interventions.  In many cases they may also be on the 
acquisitions list but logistical reasons may prevent simultaneous committals. 
Or the associates may be in need of therapy but male and as we aren't mandated 
to handle male patients committal is not an option.  Regardless of the reason
these associates often remain at large and attempt extralegal action to 
remove the committal cases from our care.  Preventing such action from
succeeding is a major responsibility of the Security Department.
     To date they have alway as succeeded in preventing all intruders from
removing anyone from our care and almost always succeeded in subduing
them.
     After that?  After that we follow standard procedure.  Female intruders
who endanger the lives of both patients and staff in an attempt to free
violent and unstable patients are clearly unbalanced so they are automatically
committed to the Secure Ward.  We have a different procedure for male intruders.
     One of the most important and unique tools to aid in preventing intrusion
are the Spyders.  No, you haven't seen them yet but you have heard them.  You
need a better poker face.  Your expression made it quite clear you heard the
scuttling in the airducts but you were too polite to mention it.  Or at least
waiting until you wrote your article.  We keep a demo model around here to
show new staff.  Now where ...?  Ah, there's the box.



     Cute little fellow, isn't he?  I can tell you more if you'd like.
     Anyway that's enough about security technology and toys.  As with
orderlies it's the people not the equipment that are the real heart of the
organization and I'm pleased to say we have been fortunate in this regard
too.


Residing Security Guards 
 

Officer Jenny - Security Guards 


     Like the Nurses, all the Guards share a single name, "Jenny," and like
the Nurses, Mr. Chainsman and the non-nursing staff still wonders how so many
identical family members can appear in just one family.  Still, there's
no denying the Jenny's are both reliable and very loyal to the Chainsman
Institute.  Under the Pumas direction the Officer Jenny's are
responsible for security in the open and closed wards, and also enforce 
police rules and regulations whenever a situation arises that isn't in 
the Orderlies or Nurse's jurisdiction.

Security Mecha - The Sabers
     The eight sentient androids known collectively as The Sabers (perhaps
better known by their subgroups the Saber Marionettes and Saber Dolls) were
acquired by the Institute during the involuntary committal of one Doctor
Lorelei.  They attempted to interfere with Gold Team and it was necessary to
utilise a specialized Electromagnetic Pulse known as a Plasma Discharge to
neutralise them.  This shut down the androids but despite the internal damage
to the Saber Units a command decision was made by Gold Leader to retrieve them.
     It was originally intended that Doctor Lorelei repair them as part of a
work therapy program but she proved most uncooperative.  So much so that she
was transferred from the Open Ward to Grimbor Ward where she remains a most
obstinate resident.  Fortunately our Doctor Akagi proved more than equal to
the challenge despite Doctor Lorelei's insistence that even if re-activated
the Sabers basic programming could not be altered.  Designed to grow
emotionally by bonding to a specific man once reactivated the Sabers would do
everything in their power to return to him through whatever obstacles we put
in their path.  What was far worse from our perspective was that the masters
of both the Saber Marionettes and the Saber Dolls would want Lorelei freed
from the Institute.  In fact the Sabers would likely take care of that before
seeking out their masters as all of them had standing orders to protect her.
Particularly the Marionettes as their personality modules were based on
fragments of hers so they felt a strong connection.
     This presented us with a major problem as while the Sabers would
be useful tools if we reactivated them we'd be creating powerful enemies who
would tear the Institute apart trying to free Lorelei.  Mr. Chainsman was on
the verge of ordering them quietly scrapped but Doctor Akagi saw Doctor
Lorelei's claims as a personal challenge and made it her priority to overcome
their existing emotional bonding without erasing or altering the personality
programs that made them more than mere robots.  It was thanks to Doctor
Akagi's tireless efforts that the Artificial Intelligence Modules (aka the
Virgin Circuits) of all eight Sabers have been successfully reprogrammed and
are now online and eager to serve the Institute.
     According to Doctor Akagi the key to accomplishing this were the
Tamasaburou and Baikou Sabers.  Being older models they possess far less
sophisticated AIs and while physically proficient they have minimal emotional
capability.  They had however imprinted because of their Virgin Circuit's core
programming but rather than bonding to a specific person these two were
compelled to serve and protect the Japonese Nation.  Realising that this fact
proved the bonding could be directed to collective entities rather than
necessarily focusing on individuals she set about changing their focus from
their former nation to the Chainsman Institute.  While not an easy task she
succeeded and set about the more difficult task of changing the bonding of
the remaining more sophisticated Marionettes and Dolls.  
     This proved to be difficult but not beyond Doctor Akagi's talents and
she recently brought them all online after completing the field testing the
new security service software she was planning to install in the Sabers.
While very effective at both combat and social interaction the Sabers lacked
programming relevant to the needs of members of our Security Department.
After successfully testing the software on a less sophisticated android (which
proved most effective at subduing the recent escape attempt by one of our most
notorious patients) it was installed and the Sabers reactivated.
     As a final test all eight Sabers were taken to Doctor Lorelei's room to
see if there would be any adverse reactions.  While their memories of her were
unimpaired with their new perspective they see that the Institute is here to
help those with problems (such as Doctor Lorelei's crippling guilt complex)
and felt no compulsion to free her despite her impassioned pleas for help.
Quite the contrary, they fully intend to see she remains in the Institute
until she has completed her therapy and is officially released and will
happily foil any attempt escape she makes for her own good.
     With this verified Doctor Akagi installed shielding to prevent plasma
discharges shorting out their Virgin Circuits and returned the EMP pulser to
the Vault.  There have been no problems with the Sabers and they are rapidly
making themselves essential to the Security Department though the Acquisition
Department also intends to use their services from time to time.
Meet the Sabers

Lime
Cheerful and childlike she has quickly become the Jennies mascot.
Despite appearances Lime possesses the most physical strength of
any of the Sabers.


Cherry
A superb tactician who has found and corrected several
security flaws her skills will likely also prove useful
should she be loaned to the Acquisition Division to
plan operations


Bloodberry
Designed primarily for combat she grows restless patrolling
inside the Institute and prefers to roam out grounds searching
for intruders.  She has taken to racing the Rovers to any
intruders when there's target acquisition.


Tamasaburou and Baikou
Possessing less emotional range than the other Sabers they prefer to
lurk menacingly on the roof watching for threats to seek out and
neutralise.  Because of a few minor security over-reactions it is now
impossible to have take out delivered to the Institute and fortunate
that we have an excellent cafeteria.  Unlike the other Sabers they
possess the capability to copy and run human brain engrams thus
overwriting their basic personalities and creating a simulation of
the person copied.  However we have as yet found no practical
application for this capability.


Tiger
Like her fellow former Sabers Dolls Panther and Lynx she has become
popular with those few former Delmos who miss the late Neena Hagen.
Fortunately she is far less inclined to use her whip on them so
her fanclub has been deemed a harmless staff diversion.


Panther
Primarily a combat unit she is often see patrolling with Bloodberry
They have also been observed drinking together and bemoaning the lack
of decent adversaries.  Dr. Akagi is currently at a loss to explain how
sake can affect an android.  


Lynx
Another tactician though more aggressive than Cherry she has taken
to studying the potential patient data generated by the Whites and
regularly presents Gold Team with reports on available involuntary
patients and the best methods of acquisition.  As yet none of these
have been acted upon but that may change in the near future.

Other Security Mecha

Naomi Armitage
Last of the now decommissioned Third Android Series she possesses speed
and strength comparable to a Saber despite her more organic nature.
While she bleeds when injured she can override all pain signals as
distractions and complete her assigned mission despite extensive
biological damage thanks to her superstructure and brain being robotic.


     That concludes the tour of the Security Department.
     Perhaps you would like to meet our other Support Staff.  The other
Departments available for touring are the Orderlies, Maintenance and
Administrative Personnel and the Computer & Technical Support Department

acquisition team?  They work closely with Security upon arrival with new
patients.

Would you like to see Security's Most Wanted list?

Our medical staff agree we've got a great support staff to aid them in their
work.  Would you like to meet the folks who rely on the support staff?

Would you like to meet our Physical Trainers and see the Gym?

Perhaps you'd like a word with our Training Staff, they keep Security and the
other the Support Staff up to date on our latest innovations

You might like to see our student internship program, some of them may
try working in this department

Would you like to drop by the recreational lounge where we hold our
staff parties

Or would you rather hear the scoop on our advances in humane capture technology

Alternately some visitors have been fascinated by the specifics of our patient
restraint and control equipment

Others have wanted to hear all about our use of robotics

Then there are those who were more interested in the human interest angle of
our friendly staff rivalries

If you insist we could take a look at our underground high security storage facility

Of course you can always return to the Open Wards

Finally there's one more option.  The place most everyone wants to see.
