ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS
DIRECTIVES
1) Obey the Warehouse without question.
2) Maintain the illusion of the mundane world. Unless it contradicts directive one.
3) Fulfill your mission at all costs, unless it contradicts directive one or two.
Clarification on Directive Two. If some person sees you flying or thinks you're an alien, you don't have to kill them. That's pretty drastic and not always necessary. Most people would be considered kooks if they started talking about stuff like this. No need to silence them since the world has discounted their story. There's other means to keep the truth from getting out as well: intimidation, bribery, and memory wipes.
Another aspect of directive two to be aware of is the use of operatives' powers. If you have abilities that defy conventional physics, then think before using them. Flagrantly using these abilities can cause irreparable damage to the illusion of normalcy we try to maintain. So be careful about how you use your powers.
If you fail to follow these directives, then you can expect to be punished severely, even executed.
