The Fringe Division

The Fringe Division, led by Colonel Shaun Harrell, is a multi-agency task force under the Department of Homeland Security investigating science-related crimes and strange events known as "the Pattern." The Bureau's Fringe Division investigates the Pattern, which includes individuals with extensive knowledge of it. The FFOS designated these events AOI-POI-682 (THE BREACH), and the Foundation has stepped down from researching it without permission from the Fringe Division Director.
== History ==
The Fringe Division has a long and complex history, dating back to the 1970s, when the US government became increasingly concerned about the potential threat posed by unexplained and unusual scientific phenomena. In response to this, the Fringe Division was established as a task force, operating under the auspices of the Department of Homeland Security. Headquartered in the Boston Federal Building, the Division is led by Colonel Shaun Harrell and is staffed by at least two dozen FBI agents.
== Mission ==
The primary goal of the Fringe Division is to investigate science-related crimes and to identify and examine unusual scientific events known as "the Pattern." Although it is uncertain whether "Fringe Division" is the official name of the Division, the moniker has become popular due to its association with fringe research. The Division is also home to the Science Team, which is responsible for conducting research on the unusual phenomena being investigated.
== Organization ==
It is organized into several teams, including the Science Team, which is responsible for conducting fringe research to investigate and examine the unusual scientific events designated as "the Pattern." The Division is also led by Maurice Broyles, who oversees the investigation of strange events known as "Fringe Events" and manages a team that includes Astrid Bennet, Henry Prince, Charles Duke, and Stella Haughton. The Division also has extensive connections with Kristina Collins, Executive Director of Mallen Dynamic, a multibillion-dollar firm with numerous linkages to The Pattern.
== The Pattern ==
The Pattern is the designation for strange events, sometimes known as "Fringe Events," which are being investigated by the Bureau of Homeland Security's Fringe Division. 
The FFOS has designated these events AOI-POI-682 (THE BREACH). The Foundation has stepped down from researching 682 without permission from the Fringe Division Director.
