A Facility Director is the main director and overseer of a facility controlled by the FPD. Facilities include labs, testing centers, and more. They are responsible for their facility and command what can and can't happen in their facility. Facility directors may be responsible for multiple facilities, though no more than 3 at the same time. They are usually the main commanders during an emergency in a facility and must greenlight everything unless overridden by a special squad or team occurs.

The Leader of Scientific Research is the most experienced scientist of the SRD. They are the most advisable person and oversee all experiments and may cancel any project or experiment which they believe is not a good idea.

They are well protected because of this knowledge and wisdom and are well respected outside of the organization as well. Only one person fulfills this role.

**Anomaly Sciences**

Anomaly Scientists are the scientists responsible for testing, documenting, cataloging, and in general, researching anomalies. They do this in labs and the field alike, though most of their work is done in labs. They create theories based on evidence and create experiments to test their theories. They investigate the unknown and test everything from the safest anomalies to the most dangerous, although ranks have been created based on experience so only the most experienced have power to create complicated projects or experiments and have access to the most unknown and most dangerous. Many people fulfill this role. The following ranks, from most proficient to least, are below:

***Senior:*** The highest level of proficiency. Usually has been in the field for more than 15 years. This scientist is highly experienced and is allowed to create and projects and experiments.
