BRL Object Classes

Birch Ridge Labs houses anomalous objects. Each object is assigned an Object-Class and a Threat Level Colors.

## Object-Classes

*Note: This information is loosely based off of the SCP. See:* SCP Object Classes

### Safe

Safe-class objects are objects which can be contained without any effort. No significant effort must be made to contain these objects. Note that despite the objects being classified as "Safe", this does not mean that the object does not pose any threat.

### Euclid

Euclid-class objects are objects which can be contained with slight effort and additional resources. Once contained, the object does not try to actively escape. Typically, all living objects are classified as Euclid.

### Keter

Keter-class objects are objects which can be contained with significant effort, and which actively resist containment. Typically, all hostile objects are classified as Keter.

### The Chest Test

The Chest Test is a simple test to determine the class of an unknown object. The test assumes the anomalous object is placed inside of a chest and left alone. If nothing happens, the object is Safe. If a lock must be placed on the chest, the object is Euclid. If the chest is totally destroyed and the anomaly escaped, the object is Keter.

## Threat Level Colors

*Note: This information is also loosely based off of the SCP. See:* SCP Threat Levels

### White

White-level objects are beneficial to BRL and may be used under tight protocols and regulations.

### Green

Green-level objects pose no threat to personnel and cannot be accidentally mishandled to pose a threat.

### Yellow

Yellow-level objects pose a threat only under certain conditions or if mishandled. For example, an otherwise Green-level object that becomes hostile when attacked is considered Yellow-level.

### Orange

Orange-level objects always pose a threat to personnel if not properly contained.

### Red

Red-level objects pose an extreme threat to not only personnel handling the object but the entire world itself. One example is the Wither.

## Containment Levels

### Prefixes

The following prefixes may be used before a containment level:

* Armed: Denoting abnormally high physical security concerns.
* Biological (Bio): Denoting the presence of living objects.
* Research: Denoting a facility or location operating primarily for research purposes.
* Storage: Denoting a facility intended for long-term storage with little risk.

### Containment Level 1

Containment Level 1 is the most basic of containment levels. It requires little more than a simple iron or wooden door to the facility or sector it denotes. Only Safe-class Green-level objects may be stored here.

### Containment Level 2

Containment Level 2 is also a basic containment level. This level requires locking piston doors and concrete or stone construction of the facility or sector. All living or sentient objects must be housed in at least a Level 2 facility.

### Containment Level 3

Containment Level 3 is a more secure containment level. It requires the use of basic security systems and reinforced blocks to protect objects within.

### Containment Level 4

Containment Level 4 is the most secure containment level available. The entire facility should be made out of reinforced blocks, and should employ advanced security systems. It shall be the policy of all Level 4 facilities to not prepare evacuation plans in the event of containment breach.

## Summary

In summary, the object-class and threat-level are not interconnected. For example, a piece of TNT is a Safe-class as it can be contained and stored without any effort. However, it would be classified as a Yellow-level object because if used in a certain way, it can cause harm. As another example, if a BRL employee were to be contained, they would be considered Keter-class and White-level.
