First, a reminder to begin preparing your code submissions per my last transmission.
Second, congratulations to our Hackers, who have consistently demonstrated such an extraordinary degree of talent, dedication, and attention to their duties that it has become necessary for us to find new ways to both challenge them and honor their achievements.
We have established the honorary title of Operative, to be given to those Hackers who go above and beyond the normal extents of their responsibilities. Hackers who have been active for a minimum of four months, as measured by their first transmission to the Personnel Department, are qualified to begin attempting the Operative criteria. The full details of these criteria shall remain private knowledge, due to the sensitive nature of the assignments. Brief descriptions of the challenges are now available in the Archives below the Hacker promotion criteria. We do not expect that every Hacker will be able to complete all of the criteria and receive the honorary title of Operative. The criteria are designed to challenge Hackers to the outer limits of their abilities. As such, this does not qualify as a new rank, but instead is an award of recognition for demonstrating superior skills. From one to several months of effort may be required to complete all of the Operative criteria. Any current Hackers who have crossed the four months of service mark may request further details from the Professors.
