Regulations Tone

Administration Modules


Outside of Tales, the Regulations Committee will seldom be the sole tone for an AN record. More often than not, the Regulations Committee works best as a complement to current and future AN records. These modules will allow Initiative personnel to provide grounding information to their records. As the Initiative protects humanity from the unknown, these do us all a great service by keeping our feet on the ground and our minds in this reality. Personnel with ideas for new modules can contact their superiors to detail their ideas.

Office Tone


Operating as the overarching executive body for the Initiative, The Delta Council are often the final say in matters. Written statements from some Regulation Offices and The Council follow a tone of professionalism, using carefully chosen words and imposing a feeling of executive power within the Initiative. However, Reports and documents originating from Regulation, depending on the Office; have tones that range from strictly professional and succinct, to what will be referred to as Casual Professionalism.

"Casual Professionalism" is best described as professional speak, with a light marinade of humanity. Dry sarcasm works well within Casual Professionalism, to express disappointment or displeasure towards an event or entity. On the lightest side, you have Casual Correspondence; which would be the equivalent of emails between friends in the same department. Just make sure your manager doesn't find out, or you might just get a Strictly Professional mark on your record.

It should be noted that the following table is not meant to be strict, but more of a guide. Experimentation is the lifeblood of creativity; so an Office, such as Finance, is not necessarily completely no nonsense at all times. Effort and ability is what makes it work, not this chart.

An example of Tier 2:

Per Director D, the lovely Mr. Finn, formerly a researcher of amnesiants, is to be reclassified for his brilliant scheme in attempting to extort a Chief Archivist of ORS. Attempting to get hush money by blackmailing a officer in charge of information retrieval and archiving with false accusations of inappropriate behavior will certainly be an interesting backstory to read for the TS recruiters in OHR.
Here's to your sudden career change bearing fruit for our research teams in the future, Nancy.

Office and Regulation Referencing


In-universe, Regulations is known as "the Regulations Committee"; this is a meta-name for referential use by writers and community members. In-universe, if needing to refer to the entirety of the Committee, "Regulations" as a proper noun will do just fine. The words Office, or Offices, when referencing ones from Regulations, are considered proper nouns as well, and thus should be capitalized.

"The Suits in Regulations give me nightmares.."
"Well, if you didn't try to skim money off your employees, this wouldn't be an issue Jerry."
"I don't mean the batteries, Tom. Besides, the auditors from that Office love me!"

When statements or reports originate from an Office in Regulations, the Office's name will take the prominent name position. The Offices of Regulations have a lot of power within the organization, and are "public" knowledge amongst nearly all of those who work for the Initiative. The Office name or The Council get the subtitle line, not "Regulations" or "Regulations Committee".

Lastly, when an Office or The Council is referencing a different Office; if an acronym is being used, it will prefixed with 'O'. This is to avoid any confusion if an in-Office acronym shares the same letters. So, HR would be OHR if referenced by Financial Affairs, as to not confuse accountants who might work with Hourly Rates. Reports and statements originating from an Office generally include the 'O' prefix to alleviate the same confusion, across the entire Authority.

To the Auditors from OF:
While we are kindred spirits for wanting all information to be correct and double checked, please note that we will not cooperate with Auditors browsing around our archives and not putting dossiers back in their correct locations. We are well aware of how the financial archives wing looks, and we do not wish to emulate that.
Failure to comply will result in you having to make appointments with the front desk to take a look at archives.
I send this in good faith. Do not disappoint me.
-Teagan Kambel; Chief Archivist, ORS Archives
