What makes you the best candidate for Ethics Committee Assistant?:
Given my previous roles as an Executive back in the day, alongside my previous work as an Ethics Assistant under a former ECM on Former Chairman Randal Murphy's administration, I have decided to request to make a return to my calling. I have worked on several Departmental Reviews for the Ethics Committee during my time, alongside working with various departments to make an attempt at suggesting potential solutions to problems within other departments. As an assistant, I had the tendency to go above and beyond to ensure the various departments were in good shape by conducting interviews, taking in complaints, and bringing them to the appropriate personnel to handle the situation in an appropriate manner. I try my best to provide well spoken and crucial input and advice that has allowed many members of foundation staff who were struggling in the past to excel in their duties in the past, and present. As of recent, I have been promoted to a Senior Executive Role within the department, and have been given duties that I excel in, similar to my responsibilities as an Assistant to the Committee.
During my two terms as an Executive Researcher, and now a Senior Executive Researcher, I have helped other departments conducting their duties in a more efficient and proper way by having an advanced knowledge on the Legal Codex and standard operating procedures. Even to this day, I continue to provide mentorship and advice to those who are in need. In recent weeks, I have been working hard everyday to help our research personnel conduct proper documentation, rewrite our onboarding processes for Trial Executives, adhere to the legal codex, authorize important and interesting test ideas and attempting to keep the spirit of the Research Department alive. These skills are useful for Research, but I feel as if I can do more elsewhere.
What are the responsibilities of Ethics Committee Assistants in RP?:
Ethics Committee Assistants are tasked with enforcing the Ethical Codes while discreetly monitoring site activities. If an ECA observes any violations, they must address the infraction professionally, ensuring the individual understands their misconduct and is guided toward proper conduct. If an ECA is the highest-ranking official on site during a Code 5 situation, they are responsible for coordinating all site operations to maintain the safety of all personnel. In extreme circumstances, ECAs are authorized to permit the use of the AA, but only for specific criteria. During Code 2 situations, if there is no available personnel on site to authorize sweeps/KOS orders, they are allowed to do so if warranted. Additionally, upon request from the Ethics Committee, Assistants are expected to efficiently and promptly complete assigned tasks.
Please give some lore about your Ethics Committee Assistant character and what storylines they would be involved in:
Maxwell Shepherd is a dedicated and loyal Senior Researcher of the SCP Foundation. Maxwell was born in Colts Neck, New Jersey on July 7th, 1989 to Evelyn and Dominic Shepherd. At a young age, Maxwell took an interest in wanting to find and understand the unexplained. In high school, Maxwell excelled in the field of mathematics and science, eventually graduating with high grades and applying to Thomas Jefferson University. After four years, he graduated with a Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering.
After his graduation, he was approached by a private military contractor that required his expertise for weapon development. Maxwell began his career in the research and development of prototype weaponry that the company sold to agencies around the world. One of his assignment involved him overseeing a deal to an unknown buyer before being transferred to another research and development facility across the US. While Maxwell was in the process studying notes for a new potential weapon on the day of the meet, the convoy was ambushed by the Chaos Insurgency and was rendered unconscious after his vehicle was rammed off road.
Several days after the incident happened, he awoke in a medical room with a Foundation recruitment officer reviewing Maxwell's notes. Maxwell was offered a position as an intern for the SCP Foundation at Site-13, and worked there for several years. After some time working for the Foundation, he learned valuable skills and knowledge on various SCP Objects and the goals of the foundation, to which he learned to grow appreciation for the cause they had.
On one fateful day, the Director of Site-13 had written a transfer order to Site-65 along with a promotion to Junior Researcher for Maxwell, marking the first day of a bright future for his career in the foundation.
With the guidance of seasoned researchers, he began to conduct several important tests that allowed the Foundation to learn new discoveries about the contained SCPs via chemical research. To this day, he continues to work vigilantly in hopes to maintain the goals the foundation has set up for him.
Shortly after his transfer to Site-65 from Site-13, Maxwell Shepherd was taken under the wing of a Senior Researcher working at the Site for quite some time. After some time, Maxwell received several promotions in quick succession for his overall support and dedication to the Foundation and his work at Site-65. One day, he was offered a position on the Executive Researcher Team after an evaluation report and interview by the Director of Research at the time. Maxwell graciously accepted the position and continued to dedicate his work for the research department.
Taking his experience from Site-13 and the protocols to heart, Maxwell became known for working closely with Internal Affairs with cracking down on conduct and Ethical violations on site, along with conducting and supervising very critical tests. As the days went by, more members of the Research Division began coming forward to Maxwell on advice and various test petitions.
One early morning, a mass breach occurred while all other Site Command members were off site with Maxwell taking the initiative to coordinate the breach. Maxwell worked with personnel on site to restore power to several key systems within the facility, along with the containment of one SCP. During the course of the breach, Maxwell witnessed several violations against the code of conduct and took note of them. Several hours after this incident, additional personnel arrived on site and took over the situation, successfully ending the situation. With the coordination of the site during the breach a minor success, Maxwell felt as if his expertise could benefit the foundation in other ways.
Maxwell was eventually accepted into the Ethics Committee as an assistant. He worked hard with the Committee to ensure that all ethics codes were being followed. He worked with Epsilon-11, and the Internal Affairs Division, now known as the Internal Security Department. After several months, Maxwell ended up resigning from his post as an assistant after several incidents had taken place pushed him to his limits. Maxwell requested a transfer to a different site, and was granted the request. He had kept in contact with several of his associates that he could call his friends, but kept working at an undisclosed location for the Foundation.
Until recently.
Maxwell was transferred back to Site-65 as per his request, and met a few of his fellow peers from all that time ago. He was astonished to see the new changes that had been made to the site. Now, Maxwell was filled with a new determination to continue his work, and ensuring the continued prosperity of the Foundation.
After quite some time, Maxwell was once again promoted to Executive Researcher, rising through the ranks, eventually becoming the Lead Senior Executive of Training and Supervision. Over time, he felt like he could do more for the site in a more meaningful way, so he placed his transfer request...

To the Ethics Committee,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to formally request the opportunity to rejoin the Ethics Committee as an assistant and once again contribute to the Foundation.
Having served the Foundation in the Research Department for a while, I decided to come out of retirement to continue pursuing my passion for supporting the mission of the organization. Before my retirement, I had the privilege of working alongside the former Committee Chairman, Randal Murphy, who has since returned as a member. After thoughtful reflection, I believe that my skills and experience would be best utilized by assisting the Committee once more. In my recent time back with the Foundation, I have reconnected with long-standing colleagues and forged relationships with new team members. While my experience in the Research Department has been fulfilling, I have concluded that my abilities would be better aligned with the responsibilities and goals of the Ethics Committee once again. My aim is to help guide Site-65 personnel effectively and support the Committee’s mission to uphold the highest standards, and assist you in anyway that I feasibly can.
I want to state for the record that this request is not due to any dissatisfaction with my current department. Instead, the reason for my request is because of my commitment to contribute where I can have the greatest impact. I am confident that my background and expertise can be a valuable asset to the Committee and the Foundation’s broader objectives once again.
Thank you for your time and consideration of my request. I am happy to provide any additional information and follow any procedures required to ensure a smooth transition if I am to become accepted once again.
With respect and kind regards,
Senior Executive Maxwell 'Arcturus' Shepherd
