Subject:    BIOCOM permissions

Mr. Piros,

Thank you for the security bump. I'm able to move around the facility much easier now.

Considering the expected initiation date, I need help. For BIOCOM to perform autonomously it requires unrestricted access to the host infrastructure. We are able to use the temporary location in Hangar 4 while we wait for Deep to be completed, but we cannot function without full access, regardless of where the organics are located.

To ensure a successful integration, we need access to:

1. Any software used to manage power generation, regulation, and distribution. 
2. Any existing security system, including control over doors, keycode and password access, surveillance systems,  and environmental controls.
3. All personnel files (legally I think we can't execute the Detain and Search module unless we have been given the implicit
permission that comes with database access)
4. All communication systems, both internal and external, so that BIOCOM can monitor and limit traffic depending on security conditions.

This is the bare minimum. Without it, the operatives’ objectives will include a lot of low-level tasks that are much better suited to automation (terminal access, door management, bioscans etc.) This has been difficult enough with the operation at its current size. Once we are scaled up to full, it will become unmanageable and our operative fail rate will sky rocket. Ideally, BIOCOM would have access to everything at the highest level so the KSOs can be programmed with a minimal objective stack. 

I have tried to explain this to Andrew Clinton, but he is reluctant to allow us the access we need. I have told him we can insertback doors if he doesn't want us to refactor the systems and explained we won't need any engineering support from him. I have also reiterated that he will have override codes to limit BIOCOM access in case of an emergency. 

But he won't budge and is asking a lot of questions that I feel he should not be asking. Can you talk to him to straighten this out?

I'll hold until you reply,
