Civilian Occupations (S23)

Not all operatives of Section 23 are drawn from the ranks of the military. Others are civilian experts in a variety of fields, or simply those who had an encounter with Our Other Enemy and proved more capable of handling such revelations than average.
Like Basic Training and Military Occupational Specialties (MOS), civilian occupations have Attribute and Skill requirements that must be met in order to select that occupation.

=== Antiquarian ===
Antiquarians collect and study ancient objects, manuscripts, and civilizations, preferring to deal with the past rather than the present. The current conflict is leading to grave difficulties in indulging the antiquarian's passion for collecting, as one by one the nations of the world batten down the hatches against the impending storm. The book burnings in Germany are a cause of particular distress to the antiquarian.
