:2.You mentioned PRT Watchdogs. Is that a group of PRT-specific capes? What are their responsibilities besides evaluating Simurgh victims?<br/><br/>'''Wildbow''':
:2.The Watchdog group is the group [[Accord]] belonged to. Parahuman thinkers and investigative bodies keeping an eye on economy, politics and other possible shenanigans behind the scenes. - Excerpt from a [https://redd.it/3ec7eu Reddit comment] by Wildbow.</ref> Considered a Punishment Detail<ref name="R2 e1"/> to be constantly checking on people in the zone.<ref name="R2 e3">Outtake<br/>
The outtake process, following from the now-defunct D.D.I.D. measure (revoked in Summer 2010), involves a long series of checkups by PRT staff and allowed staff within the quarantine zone. Individuals must maintain appointments with counseling services regularly over ten months, missing no more than ten out of eighty.<br/><br/>
Once an individual completes this regimen:
*They are placed on a list for outtake. They may or may not be placed on a low-priority or high-priority list, allowing for needs and/or risks. Wait time may be two weeks to eight months, depending.
Staff in the PRT building conduct a thorough background check.
*The subject is contacted and summoned.
*The individual receives initial screening from a PRT-approved parahuman, provided by the Watchdog arm of the PRT or the Protectorate.
*The subject must provide verification of identity, conducted through a digital waypoint. If ID is not available, outside authorities (banks, DMV) should be contacted, or the PRT staff may use internet credentials on the part of the subject (professional or school emails and password, etc).
*A relation or outside contact is brought in or otherwise contacted to serve as a third party and verify details.
Secondary screening by PRT thinker.
*An impromptu discussion follows, with the PRT officer, outside contact, the quarantine individual and (if viable/possible, the outtake screener, see below) conversing. For the individual, this is the first opportunity to reconnect with their old life. For the PRT officer, the conversation should be observed for discrepancies or alarm bells.
One of three stress tests are chosen at random and conducted; the subject’s response to stress should be measured and noted. The deception may be bypassed if staff decides there is no need, depending on the ability of the screening thinker. The goal in this is to provoke the subject, knowing that the vast majority of Simurgh afflicted are poor at handling stressors. Stress tests include:<br/>
:*Notification that they have failed to pass procedure and must remain within the quarantine zone for another ten months/for life.
:*The outside contact cooperates by providing sufficiently stressful news: the death of family to Endbringers, death of a child, loss of something valued, etc.
:*A Medical examination is conducted and they are told they have a terminal illness.
*Final screening by PRT thinker, typically a different one than the two prior screenings.
The subject undergoes a medical checkup.
*The individual is freed, with mandated checks six times a year. The individual should avoid high-profile events, and has their drivers license marked.
*More severe and problematic measures under the D.D.I.D. act have already been removed from the process (including the tattooing of those leaving quarantine). - Excerpt from a [https://redd.it/3ec7eu Reddit comment] by Wildbow.</ref>
