The primary instrument of the SRB is the courser, a third-generation synth assigned to operate on the surface. Coursers hunt down and reclaim synths that have escaped the Institute. They are highly self-sufficient, trained in combat, infiltration, and tracking. In a word, coursers are relentless. The coursers are designed to be elite killing machines, unlike other synth models. Under the orders of the SRB, the department assigns their missions and provides access to the surface via relay from their courser chip, a form of teleportation device. The SRB primarily uses coursers to retrieve and reset escaped synths. Once an escaped synth is found, a courser uses the synth's recall code to wipe its memories and render it inert. Once done, the synth is brought back to the Institute to have its neural pathways restored and regulated back to its original functions, wiping its memories of its time on the surface, although numerous cases involve irreparable damage and the disposal of many escaped synths. Coursers are drawn from the third generation synth population, constantly monitored for tenacity, fearlessness, and independence. When synths are identified with these traits, the basic necessary skills are transferred into their minds. Stealth, espionage, combat training as well as survival and repair skills. They then undergo a rigorous training regimen where they further hone these new abilities to even higher levels. Everything from armed and unarmed combat, investigative techniques, psychology, and even mechanical skills must be perfected. Those who pass a final evaluation become coursers, Their cranial synth implant is upgraded with a Courser chip to relay them into and out of the Institute. However, those who fail the evaluation have their memories wiped and return to their former duties.
