Black Mountain/Sector R/OCE

Operational Command Equipment (OCE) is the highest sublevel within Research, with a level number of 21. It provides command and oversight over all current operations and projects of Black Research, as well as all containment systems and Sector G infrastructure. It is manned by high-ranking research command level personnel as well as other command staff. The OCE floor is one of the highest security areas within the sector, and few actually see it. It is considered a serious mark of seniority within Black Research to be permitted onto the OCE floor.

The floor is designed as an “open-plan” area with numerous desks and large monitors to allow research command personnel to efficiently direct operations. Shannon Taylor spent most of her time here, remotely supervising experiments.
