Dark Hour (SEES)

The Dark Hour is patrolled nightly by members of SEES. Given the size of the organization, not everyone has to patrol every single night, but on any given night in the Dark Hour, there WILL be multiple SEES squads combing the Port Island area to neutralize Shadows and look for anyone that has awakened in the middle of the Dark Hour.

SEES has a fairly strict policy on not walking out into the Dark Hour alone. You will almost always be with at least one other person; standard procedure is to go out in a squad of about three to five people. Generally SEES members may hash out between themselves beforehand who will patrol when, and with whom; there are at the moment no rulings 'from on high' telling you who you should go with or when, so long as the work gets done.

As such, squads are not assigned or fixed-- people are encouraged to change up their squad makeup and go out with other people from night to night-- though if a group of people finds they work well together and chooses to group together more often than not, that's not prohibited either. What is important is that the Dark Hour be properly patrolled, and that you be in a group to do so.

The most common hazard in the Dark Hour is naturally the Shadows. However, patrols may also be interrupted-- most commonly by either Strega, or the NWO nosing in to do research. Don't hesitate to contact members of other factions when it comes to arranging conflicts between your squad and interlopers; it's the prerogative of SEES to be protectionist about the Dark Hour and who is allowed to operate or cause mischief in it.
