Tennyson Report

The Tennyson Report is an anonymous report on the current status of the Federal Bureau of Control and how its writer believes it is wrongly steering away from its arcane foundations.
==Background==
The Bureau's original outlook on the paranatural world was one of mysticism and almost reverence, especially under the early leadership of Director Theodore Ash, Sr.Log 1: Discovery However, this changed during the directorships of Broderick Northmoor and especially Zachariah Trench. Both Trench and the most recent Head of Research, Dr. Casper Darling, spearheaded a push for the Bureau to follow a more scientific approach, including altering terminology to suit a more objective viewpoint. This caused a minor schism among Bureau employees, though open dissent against Trench and his team was effectively stamped out.
Some amount of discontent with the Bureau's new path remained, as demonstrated by the dissemination of the Tennyson Report, whose author stayed anonymous out of fear of "reprisal from the anti-esoteric bureaucrats watching us from their plush offices." The report denounced the empirical path of the Bureau as well as Trench and Darling, whom the author labeled responsible for said path.Tennyson Report (Collectible) Later on, when Trench found out about the Tennyson Report, he went "on the warpath" and began searching for the report's author, though it is unknown whether he was successful or not.Tennyson Report WarningTee Time

==Trivia==
* The quotation at the start of the report comes from the 1847 poem Tears, Idle Tears by the English poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson (hence its title) which speaks of the desire to return to the past. 
* Frederick Langston is implied to be the writer of the Tennyson Report. Langston mentions that his cat, Alfred, is named after his favorite poet (Alfred, Lord Tennyson.) He is also shown to be a vocal advocate for a ritualistic treatment of Altered Items, as exemplified by the Panopticon Methods Proposal Collectible.
