security: both the least-appreciated and the hardest-working department, security is charged with protecting the lives of the black ops while maintaining the conspiracy of silence that the company works under. the security ops have the broadest training, allowing them to fairly judge the safety of any mission at any point in the operation. they also have the authority to restrict the conduct of any operative on a squad, regardless of which department sponsored the mission, at any time, for any reason (or for no reason). rarely is this authority used, and if it is, it's almost never questioned by the directors of the departments (though it's often loudly questioned by other squad members). security ops, called "secops" by other departments, are also more negatively called "squealers". the other departments consider them a necessary pain, with a tendency towards overprotective behavior
