It's probably getting fairly highly classified at about Sigma.

That's probably why they never tell Alpha 1 anything; he's got the absolute minimal amount of clearance! Heck, even things he sees with his own eyes and hears with his own ears get classified above his level and he's ordered to forget them!

I am Omega 1. Fear me. I am the Son of God. I AM....

A TRANSPORT PILOT!!!

Omega is always GTT Argos

Wing assigment has absolutely zero bearing on clearence level.

Except, of course, for the fact that that means you are a pilot, and very low on the pole.

That's why it was a joke.

[Scotty]

Well, as you can see, some people miss that.   The disclaimer is there regardless now.

They could even hang him under charges of spying!

Actually Argos are generally named Lambda, it's Elysiums that typically get Omega.

I think it was one of the best storytelling decisions :V: made.

The less you know, the more interesting everything is.

A certain excellent collaborative fiction site (the SCP Project) tends to place REDACTED liberally throughout its narrative, typically right when the document's about to describe something eerie, frightening, or disturbing...which makes it even worse!

It's the old movie adage of 'never show the monster' in literary form.

Yes well, it seems kind of odd that a dossier intended only for the eyes of the GTVA Security Council would have anything redacted. And the way various places it says "Additionally, see REDACTED" is just plain annoying.

[Klaustrophobia]

well, the fact that you saw it was evidence that it WASN'T only viewed by the security council.  thus the redactment.

Wut? I don't recall any of this in canon tech descriptions.

If you're referring to the BP fluff, are you on the Security Council?

[Qent]

Maybe not, but after a while I read that and thought, "Stop trying to dazzle me with formality and big words. We all know there's no fluff actually written for that."

[General Battuta]

Completely to the contrary. We know exactly what each of those REDACTED notations mean, but revealing them at this point would spoil elements of the story.

A clever reader could probably figure each one out.

[Qent]

Oh cool, I should probably reread those. But that is, in fact, what I was thinking on the first read-through.

[General Battuta]

That's a risk of hinting at additional information. But the alternative is to not hint at additional information, which is way more boring.

[Snail]

Protip: Hang out on #bp for the latest news, rumors and slip-ups from the Blue Planet team.

[Dilmah G]

Or just buy me rudder pedals and I'll tell you everything, children. 

[Gamma_Draconis]

Great work neutralizing those Shivan devices. You delivered a top-notch performance. Analysts are poring over the data now, but you can rest assured the results will be classified above your level of clearance. They always are.

[Aardwolf]

Also,

Wut? I don't recall any of this in canon tech descriptions.

WAT. Then what the heck were you talking about when you said...

[General Battuta]

Are you clueless, or just very confused?

I mean, think about what you said. Has the FreeSpace Source Code Project ever written a tech description? Even if it had, would they be canon? Who in their right mind would describe it as a collaborative fiction site?

So, are you just confused?
