Security (Library)

Security, unlike the other major functions of the Library, isn't centrally located in a triad of the Hex but rather spread throughout the facility as needed. The most military aspect of the Library, they operate in different departments, each with a chain-of-command and rarely interact with members of the other departments.

Because of the secrecy and complexity of security required at the Library, only those with Level 4 clearance of higher have any idea how many members of security there are at the facility. Regardless the number must be massive and may even employ more people than all the other operations combined.

Security Detail
Other than the small inner quarters directly off the center nexus of the library, the security department operates in small outposts throughout every sector of the facility. Because of this, their inner departments are identified more by responsibility than by location.

Internal Logistics
Responsible for transporting resources of all types all over the Library. Though most of their time is spent transporting building materials to the ever expending territory of hexagonal chambers, they also assist other departments in the transport of supplies needed to continue operations.

Custodial
Often considered the most important of the new departments, it is also said they are the most likely to know information above their pay grade. These cleaners and general workers of the Library are often hand selected by Curators on recruiting missions, seeking individuals who will be able to keep to themselves while getting their work done in areas filled with sensitive information. The screening process was brutal, but the pay is insane.

Maintenance
The Maintenance Department works alongside Custodial in making sure everything from the light bulbs to the lodestones are in tip-top shape. They are often seen making their rounds daily in the same cluster of hexagons and become familiar with the workers in those departments.

Shepherd's Watch
Personnel who work alongside Containment and Storage on securing and protecting the various anomalies brought in and contained within the facility. Serving as bodyguards in the field and gatekeepers within the heavily secured areas of the containment sector. Shepherds and High Shepherds serve as the commanding officers to the lower ranked members of security.

Guard
One of the two main responsibilities given to new recruits, guard duty is operating the various guard posts throughout the facility. Each sector has guard posts, ranging from the few scattered within the Barracks and the one-per-chamber-minimum within Research and Storage. Most days, this is pretty boring work, but at least it isn't perimeter...

Perimeter
Once there was a time when Perimeter was the most dangerous and exciting position a security personnel could have, that time was a long time ago. Nowadays positions along the large perimeter of the Library is considered almost a punishment, with the Library securing most of the surrounding area hundreds of years ago, only those who go deep into the plane of endless books ever report any signs of activity. Because of this, perimeter has become a temporary service, with members swapping on-and-off weekly to keep up morale.

Floor Security
Though several of these posts may be understaffed or elsewhere, this is an idea of the level of security found on an average floor within the Library. An average of 200 security personnel per floor.
 * Internal Logistics: 4 - 16 personnel
 * Custodial: 4 - 8 personnel
 * Maintenance: 4 - 8 personnel
 * Shepherds: 40 - 60 personnel
 * Guards: 60 - 80 personnel
 * Perimeter: 20 - 40 personnel

Again this is just a rough estimate based on if the anomaly containment is fully operation and fully staffed. Also this is just a number based off of labor required for the base floor plan, floors higher or lower that cover less space would have a lower labor force, and of course members are not restricted to only work or operate on one particular floor. Though many of them are restricted from accessing higher and lower levels.
