The Intelligence Directorate does not use the Discord server for its own business. It has its own address, intelligence.cyrannus.nexus, served by this site: channels by category, direct and group conversations, a members list with who is there now, and a ledger of who read what. Sign in with Roblox on this site and you are signed in there too; then you choose a passphrase.

1. 01It opens for the Directorate's group and nobody else.Your grade there is read from the Cyrannus Intelligence Directorate group on Roblox every minute: Analyst, Agent, Senior Agent, Field Officer, Section Chief, Deputy Director, Director. Leave the group and the door closes with you, within the minute. If Roblox cannot be reached at all, the Directorate stays shut for everyone until it answers again, rather than going on what was last seen. Site staff who are not in the Directorate have no way in.
2. 02Two things to know: Roblox, and a passphrase of your own.The first time, you choose a passphrase of eight characters or more. It is asked once a day on each device you use, five wrong tries make the account wait a quarter of an hour, and a screen left alone for fifteen minutes locks itself. Nobody can read it back; a Section Chief or above can reset it, and then you choose a new one. Your devices are listed on your screen there, and one you no longer have can be revoked.
3. 03Each channel says who reads it and who writes.The channels are set out by desk: The Directorate, Internal affairs (what happens inside the Empire), External affairs (other groups and communities) and Command. A channel is open from a grade up: the Briefing is the announcement channel, read by everyone and written by Section Chiefs and above, and every post there counts for everyone; the Field and Internal are for Agents and above; Investigations and Liaison for Senior Agents and above; the Directorate for Section Chiefs and above. Section Chiefs and above may write @everyone in a channel to reach everyone in it. A channel can instead be private, read by the people picked for it and nobody else, whatever their grade; those left out do not see it at all. Section Chiefs and above make, set and archive channels, pick a private channel's readers, pin and remove any message; the Director can burn a channel or lock the whole place.
4. 04Talk the way you would anywhere.Send a picture with the + beside the field, or a voice message with the microphone when the field is empty; both are seen or heard there and nowhere else, and go with the message. Reply to a message, react to it, edit your own (the up arrow in an empty field opens your last one), name someone with @, and write with the usual marks: **bold**, *italic*, `code`, a line starting with > for a quote, ||two bars|| for a spoiler that shows when tapped. Tap a name or a headshot for the member's card. See who is typing and who has seen what you wrote. A conversation is drawn like a chat: yours on the right, theirs on the left, the time under each run, Delivered and then Seen under the last of yours. Hold a message, or press its dots, for its menu: react, reply, forward it to another channel or conversation, edit, pin, remove. Write to one member, or open a group of several and name it; Details in its toolbar lists who is in it, lets anyone bring people in, and lets whoever made it take people out; anyone in a conversation can pin a message in it; either side sets how long it keeps its messages, an hour to kept, and a message can be marked to go five minutes after it is read. Search at the top of the rail, or Command K, goes to any channel, member, conversation or screen by name.
5. 05Unread means unread.A channel with something new stands out in the list; one that names you carries the count, and so does every conversation. Opening a conversation with the window in front reads what it shows, and its badge goes at once. A message that arrives while you are scrolled up, away or veiled stays new until you come down to the foot, and the line that says New stays where it was until you reach the end. Mute a channel or conversation from its Details and nothing in it counts, except a message that names you; pin a conversation there and it sits at the top of your list. Alerts in this browser, on your own screen, say that something needs you while the window is away, with a count and never a word.
6. 06Nothing leaves it.Selecting, copying, dragging and printing are off; the screen veils itself when you leave the window and closes if the page is changed in the browser; nothing written there is posted to Discord, put in an export, sent in a notification or found by the search on this site. What is written there is held under Information and confidentiality, and passing it on, by any means, is dealt with by the command.
7. 07Reports come in from the whole Empire, and from outside it.Anyone at all, member or not, can tell the Directorate something at cyrannus.nexus/report: a member behaving badly, another group moving against us, something seen in the game. What they write becomes one document with a reference of its own, laid in the Reports channel, which Agents and above read. A report is what somebody said, by a name they chose; nothing in it is established until the Directorate establishes it. Close one when it has been dealt with.
8. 08Sealed channels show one message at a time.In a sealed channel each message is blurred until you hold it, with a finger or the mouse, and blurred again when you let go.
9. 09Messages expire, and who read what is on the record.Each channel keeps its messages for a set time or keeps them; what has expired is gone. Opening a channel, writing, editing, removing, every passphrase entered right or wrong, every new device: on the ledger, with the device it was done from. Deputy Directors and above read it.

What it does not do

It cannot stop a phone taking a picture of another phone's screen; no page can. What it does is keep everything else in: nothing written there is posted to Discord, put in an export, or found by the search on this site, and who opened what is on the record.
