Cryptic Events Evaluation Section

The Cryptic Events Evaluation Section, also known as the Cryptic Events Evaluation Taskforce, is a fictional secret government organization created by writer Will Murray as a backdrop for his Cthulhu Mythos stories. Depicted as part of the real world's National Reconnaissance Office,Wikipedia, "National Reconnaissance Office." the CEES is tasked with investigating "events"--"any unexplained or unclassifiable phenomenon"Will Murray, "To Clear the Earth."--often using paranormal means.
Murray's stories that feature the CEES form a loosely connected series. He introduced the organization in the story "To Clear the Earth" (1994).
== Behind the Mythos ==
Murray explained the creation of the CEES (or CEET) in the introduction to the first volume of The Wild Adventures of Cthulhu:For “To Clear the Earth,” I created a secret government agency in the grand tradition of the Man from U.N.C.L.E., Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D., and the Destroyer series’ CURE, which was dedicated to thwarting the Great Old Ones in their ongoing efforts to overrun the Earth and replace mankind. I hadn’t planned to create a series around this cadre, the Cryptic Events Evaluation Taskforce, which debuted in “To Clear the Earth” and which soon returned in “Rude Awakening.” But as I was increasingly invited to contribute to various Mythos anthologies, they made excellent protagonists for story purposes. Murray notes that CEES agents tend to have short lifespans, both in-universe and as fictional characters:Since most of the field agents perished during the performance of their duties, I had to create fresh ones to undertake the next foredoomed mission. So no central heroic figure ever emerged. Most often, they were snuffed out by forces greater than they. Appropriately, I think, for a Lovecraftian series.
