Containment (Library)

The containment triad of the Library is the most secure and monitored area in the facility. Home to thousands of anomalies by the year 1388, this area is made up of interwoven paths and hexagonal containment cells. Ranging from cells thousands of yards across to narrow storage-like containment shelves.

Due to the secret nature and need for space to securely contain the most dangerous entities in this area, several floors are not connected to certain stairwells or elevators, making it easy for new recruits to get lost in the labyrinth of horrors.

The average floor in the containment triad is roughly 24 hexes across (2,400 feet) with lower floors rumored to more than doubling that size. Depending on the spacial requirements a single floor can contain anywhere from 50 to 500 anomalies, each with their own specialized containment and security procedures and needs.

This article is mostly going to address the Containment triad of the Library as it is in 1388 A.B.; A time when the Wanderers were near the peak of their containment prowess and breaches of any kind were rare. Following the library's massive renovation in the 1250s, the Containment triad became the focus of the overall facility rework and several high profile anomalies were carefully transported to better containment hexes in the deeper levels of the library.

Containment Floors
Though the details of the containment floors are often a mystery, personnel of even the lowest levels are often required to know the basics of getting around in case of special assignment or emergency. Because of this a basic outline of the 'several' floors of containment are listed upon entry to the area: It is thought that the floors descend well past Floor 18 given the high amounts of security and the fact that no Keter-level category anomalies are contained between floors 1B and E2. However only clearance Level 2 or higher is allowed access to this information.

Containment Hexes
Further proof of the huge possible amount of anomalies contained within the Library are the number coding assigned to each anomaly. Despite several historical accounts and reports referencing codes such as Ex.098 and Ex.632; There is no currently known anomaly housed between the eighteen floors of containment that has a reference code earlier than Ex.692.b, and the earliest numerical anomaly at the facility is Ex.802; allowing for nearly a thousand unaccounted or relocated anomalies.

Its important to note that these codes are not sequential assigned, there are over twelve-hundred anomalies housed between floors 1 and 18 with codex numbers going all the way up to Ex.2911; If there is any rhyme or reason to these numbers it is only known by high ranking personnel.
