⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $979K/yr
88.0% probability / year
Routine year with no major incidents; regular monitoring, security staffing, and maintenance only.
no incidents routine inspections standard monitoring
🚨 Minor Incident $1.1M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$85K vs baseline
Localized incident requiring emergency field response, forensic re-assessment, and targeted legal/PR actions.
unexpected decomposition or biological concern local rumor or small-scale exposure need for emergency extraction or one-off forensic reassessment
🚨 Memetic Activation $2.2M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline
Confirmed memetic/thaumaturgical residuals requiring full memetic lab activation, large-scale amnestic campaigns, expanded rapid-response and legal actions.
evidence of memetic contamination widespread public exposure or contagion need for mass amnestic deployment and specialist operations
👥 Personnel 13 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#4] Incremental dedicated guards/escorts to guarantee 24/7 rapid response for Locker 9AB (4–8 personnel range; 6 used for estimate).
Rapid Response Team / MTF Specialist 3 [#19] Trained emergency/containment team maintained for strike readiness and deployments.
Continuity Operative / Analyst 3 [#9, #22] Department of Continuity operatives performing remote monitoring, data analysis, and archival duties for former residents.
Research Scientist / Forensic Specialist 1 [#6, #7] On-call scientific lead for periodic examinations, forensic assessments and coordination with external thaumaturgical consultants.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide granular line-item ranges and specific operational requirements, allowing a reasonable estimate; uncertainty remains around conditional memetic hazards and long-tail continuity burdens which could greatly increase costs, hence medium confidence.
