The Agency

***"Oh god... Those bastards they... They [Data Corrupted]! God damnit if i just left well enough alone I would have... Oh christ they're all... Wh- What have I done... What have I done?!"*** - An old, corrupted, audio recording found on one of Dr Silver's throwaway phones.

## Introduction

The most people hear of 'The Agency' is from Dr Silver. To the general public, the agency doesnt exist, and even some of silver's friends seem to believe that the agency is one of silver's tall tales. However, some of his closest friends, and those who decided to investigate further, know the truth -- that the agency does exist. Their motive seems ambiguous, with the most notable being the investigation of anomalies. Accounts and situations involving silver seem to indicate darker secret exists.

The Kuzohina Agency name is often used as a cover for operations under public eye or scrutiny.

## Known associates

-Dr Silver (Employee and agent)

-'R' (Unauthorised. Unable to intervene for now due to reasons already documated below. All sightings are to be reported to management immediately. Action for now is unauthorised until further notice. -C)

-Bun (preliminary association. Monitor closely)

-Takechi Nishiki (Agent. Recruit. Loyalties questionable)

-Akira Nishiki (Agent(?) Unknown Variable. MIA/KIA)

## Identified anomalies

"Folder for all identified anomalies. TBC by known anomaly detectives (Note; Silver only known anomaly detector. Due to Meta-anomalitical awareness of worldlines, and awareness of non-existant variables, he is to be identified as a risk, as well as an associate. Alternatives to be investigated.)

### Dr Silver (Jack)

**WARNING**; Known time-jumper. Surveilance must be kept at ALL times, due to risk of information leaks and/or knowledge of classified plans. Possibility to go rogue due to this; 70%.

Silver, and his alter-ego jack, was found during a recruitment drive. He identified himself promptly, and proved his anomalic capabilities -- as well as proven to be able to detect anomalies without outside-technology. Oddly enough, he was able to prove this easier than it should have taken. During the first few weeks he has shown to have an almost supernatural ability to predict circumstances, some of which should be impossible (A-1; This was most prominent in the earlier days of recruitment. Occurances seem to have toned down in the past year or so). He was commended due to his considerable effort in identifying anomalies, and solving them as such. However, due to a recent revelation his motives are now in question. Various corrupted audio files, discovered on some of his throwaway phones, placed the measure of his very existence in question. It was then found out that this was not his original worldline, after this was made publicly available by silver himself. The fact that not only was this revelation made two years after his recruitment, but the fact that he seems very hesitant to talk about it further, seems to imply that either something terrible happened in his worldline, or he has committed a terrible act in his worldline. It is not known if he can travel between worldlines at will, though general consensus agree that this is very unlikely.

When various emails for interviews were ignored, a duo-team was dispatched to collect Dr Silver and bring him in for interrogation. The result of this leading to the death of an agent, with the other forced to retreat. After asked, silver maintains the fact that he did not kill the agent. Due to the possible danger silver poses to the agency's plans, and the possibility of dangerous information leaks, arrest and possible termination attempts have all been denied. Alternative anomaly detective must be identified before any attempt be made, due to the importance silver's ability. (A-2; Possible alternative anomaly detective has been detected. It seems to be derived from the P-anomaly [See corresponding folder for more information]. Integration and recruitment difficult, due to the various interventions of silver. Dr Silver identified as a 'guardian' or 'protector' of the object in question. All attempts to capture and recruit denied, due to possible retaliation by Dr Silver.)

*WARNING UNAUTHORISED EDIT. CONFIRM? (**Y**/N):*

**Any attempts to capture 'R' will be met with termination. Yes I know Im not a CEO. I dont care -*S***

**Will also be met with arson, ho. -*J***

From hereon -- alternate worldline mentions will be classified as such. The 'BETA' Worldline being silver's original worldline, and the 'ALPHA' worldline being the current known worldline.

### King-Anomaly

Foreword; DEFUNCT. Anomaly is now a non-issue. Follow information deletion protocol. (S: Your welcome. Dont remove that counter-rumor. Jack says thank Issei for that)

### P-Anomaly

Worldline-wide anomalic corruption identified. Code: *INTEGRATE/SUPERVISE/PREPARE*

The world-wide event, aptly dubbed the "P-Anomaly" by working anomalic specialist and known associate "Dr Silver", was the event in which video game characters appeared to spontaniously begin to 'exist'. Normal videogame characters seemed hostile in nature, and as such were terminated by known TIG -- luckily for the agency to be mistaken as normal shadows. However, one group of anomalies, which were immediately identified as 'pokemon' by Dr Silver, were shown to be non-hostile, and identified to act similarly to normal animals where applicable, and are relatively docile if not approached threateningly. Criminals in particular are known to be the most attacked by these creatures. (S-1: Yeah uh, they dont like evil people. I mean -- if a shady guy came up to me with a knife i'd set them on fire too. Just dont be evil and you're good. -S).

Due to various arguements by silver, proven to be noted as valid by CEO and advisors, the anomaly was allowed to continue unimpeded, under the moniker INTEGRATE/SUPERVISE/PREPARE. However, a week after this an unusual ammount of people began disapearing for unknown reasons. After engaging protocol "GOD-KILLER-INVESTIGATION", and receiving no correlating results, the P-Anomaly was found to be the cause. (S-2: Bit of an explanation. The agency didnt find this out. I did. Yeah people began vanishing and more P-anomalies started showing up. Y'see-- [Information redacted to conform to folder size] -- which lead me to identify two seperate varients of the P-Anomaly. MD and Normal. This was the MD varient. Considering the tartarus crap, which was a whole bag of- [Information redacted to conform to folder size]. So yep. Thats the jist of it. Yep yep -S) (S-3 Yep. Ho -J) As a result all anomalies were captured and preserved for the time being.

After a month of silence the P-Anomaly began again. This time, however silver was adamant for us to allow this to continue, noting that this was a "Normal" varient. INTEGRATE/SUPERVISE/PREPARE code was re-initiated, with the code COURT MARTIAL prepared for agent failure. The disapearances seemed to not continue, and the anomalies in our custody were set free. Note, this worldline-wide anomalic corruption seemed to integrate anomalies into society without issue. Further investigation may be necessary.

Revelation of BETA-worldline existence seems to prove the P-anomaly as an event silver was prepared for. Silver however was very adamant to be the only agent to work on this case. Any attempts to integrate agency assitance met with disagreement, and eventual aggression if attempts continue. Due to this project-p folders are to be destroyed, and any information related to the project to be sent to an encrypted drive. (~~A-1 Folder destruction impossible. Theft of agency property identified. Anomaly identified to be the culprit. Retaliation protocols to be initiated~~) (S-4 \***A linked photo, which seems to have been redacted**\*)(C-1 Negative, do NOT retaliate. Possible retaliation by silver if done so.)

### 'R':

Addendum to previous folder. Follow encryption protocol for context (S-1 Viewers and hunters beware. I know you're reading this. I know who you are. Well not really, but you get what I mean. Beware -S)

An anomaly created by the P-anomaly event. Seems to show the unnatural ability to talk, a trait uncommon among other anomalies. First identified during a conversation by silver and known TIG associate. Aptly named 'R' By silver, it seemed to show an uncanny aggression towards silver, seeming to attack him on a known scheduel, daily. Identified as a riolu by silver, this brought the so called docile nature of the p-anomaly in question. Silver, without authority by the agency, interviewed the anomaly, and the attacks stopped. In another unauthorized move by silver, in direct disregard to code INTEGRATE/SUPERVISE/PREPARE, he seemed to 'recruit' the anomaly as a sort of business partner. This was noted to be one of many reasons to interview silver initially, and where the emails began. This proved beneficial however, as anomaly detection and solving of said anomalies was more effective than before. Due to this researchers has requested the capture of 'R' for investigation towards possible anomaly detection abilities; however the anomaly is incredibly hard to find, let alone capture. Once silver caught wind, he forwarded a very aggressive email to the CEO -- threatening him directly. All requests to capture 'R' are hereby denied until further notice. Due to silver's influence recruitment of subject may also be impossible.

### Goddess mitsuru:

Level 5 GOD Scenario. GOD-KILLER-INVESTIGATION protocol created. All information of incident forwarded by Dr Silver. Unsure if related to 'BETA' or 'ALPHA' worldlines. Protocol INFORMATION CLASSIFICATION Initiated. Unauthorized leaks will lead to termination. (S-1: You cant really hide from this. Too many people already know. And you cant kill them. You cant kill me. -S)

### Midnight Anomalic Convergence:

Defined differently by most known TIGs, The MAC is the moniker for the reality shift that occurs during 12pm. The midnight channel, and tartarus are included in this -- with the metaverse being closely tied to both occurances. It is theorized by many scientists that during MAC, reality shifts -- which to most would seem obvious as merely the activation of the dark hour -- however in actuality the event is more complicated than it seems. While unable to prove this currently, scientists theorize that the MAC event is the most probable reason for the appearance of anomalies. Despite the lack of proof we are inclined to believe this is true, especially if Dr Silver supports this. Silver notes tartarus to be responsible not only for the Goddess mitsuru incident, but the p-anomaly and perhaps more anomalies beyond that.

Multiple individuals, all tagged as TIGs, seem to enter tartarus weekly, sometimes daily if circumstances permit them (i.e School closure due to limited teaching staff (A-1 Note to self, investigate that. School closes a lot more than it should)). When a response team was prepped to investigate, silver demanded that the team was shut down, citing that the TIG's exploration of tartarus was necessary. After requesting proof, he achieved this by actively preventing the TIGs from progressing into tartarus, both directly (Attacking the TIG directly, citing the reasoning being 'to test them' or 'temporary loss of control') and indirectly (Providing shadows the location of the TIG, and providing information on enemy weaknesses). As a result exploration of tartarus proved more difficult and the TIG took a week-long break. As a result of this anomaly detection grew more and more, eventually allowing silver to sell 'rumors' at the front store without limits, leading to various chaotic rumors to be placed. His point taken, the agency has agreed to not intervene with TIG unless absolutely necessary, direct intevention deemed only necessary if anomalies occure as a result of the run, or if the TIG is alone. Once TIG re-assumed their exploration of tartarus, anomalies calmed down.

(C-1 Note, silver entered tartarus for one week, emerging relatively unharmed aside from a few battle scars, during his bid to find proof to his theory. Not only I, but scientists have no doubt that silver would not be able to battle for 'seven hours straight', so investigations into that occurance is pending. If silver found some way to traverse tartarus without hostile retaliation, the agency needs to know about it. If im honest I really doubt research will bear any fruit for this. Odds are, as usual, he got lucky.)

## 'Beta' Worldline

Note; all of this is based on hypothesis. The beta worldline may not even exist, though proof in mind we cannot ignore this as a possibility.

Info is limited, we are only able to base our info according to evidence found currently, either revealed by silver or other. As such expect this folder to be edited often, as new info arises.

### Project P

Evidence found on one of silver's throwaway phones, it proves that not only was Project P in progress in silver's original worldline, but silver is aware of its existence, as well. Thus providing a motive as to why silver not only ordered the P-anomalies to be released, but also is actively protecting 'R' to the effort he is currently. It is unknown wether or not the nature of Project P was similar to our worldline's version of Project P, however the existence of a 'Purge' setting gives us reason to believe they are indeed similar. As such the nature of this project has been placed under lock-and-key, information wise, either indefinately or until we can prove if there were differences in each worldline.

Troublingly, an unknown associate was also featured during the audio-recording. They seemed to be fanatical in nature, refering not only silver, but the anomalies themselves, as 'sacrifices'. It is unknown wether or not we should be concerned, but due to the possible mind-altering nature of the project, not just to the anomalies but to agents as well (See Incident-[REDACTED BY REQUEST OF CEO] for more information), circumstances call for action. As such the anomalies in our custody were released, as per silver's request, with a few still in our custody for limited testing purposes. In good news, this proves silver's limited ability to survive fatal wounds. Informing on-standby-termination teams on new perameters.

#### Current Worldline-Hypothesis.

NOTE: Limited info, this should not be taken as fact. Addendums to this hypothesis will be added where applicable.

The Beta-worldline seems to be similar to ours, aside from the obvious Incident that occured during the recording that was recovered. Silver should still be monitored. Employee, and future employee recruitment to be closely monitored as well, to prevent possible infiltration/betrayal/indoctorination incidents. New phone sheds little light to situation that happened in the beta worldline. Sporadic use of the "IND" code concerning. Monitor where applicable.

## Recovered Information

***A folder seems a bit out of place. You open it to find an almost empty file on Dr Silver. Different from the one you read previously, it seems to house objects of information about him. Odds are, silver doesnt know about this. You dont, either. Wait that doesnt make sense... Where are you?***

### Throwaway Phone Audio File

Audio file corrupted. Only identifiable content being 1 minute long. The rest is a corrupted mess. Is this related to project P? CEO has been informed. A noticable alarm is heard througout. Notable the 'Anomaly purge' alarm. Its possible for one reason or another a purge was initated. The legible peice of information is as follows

**S: So why'd you call me here. Seemed pretty important.**

**??: Yes. I've come to talk to you about [Data corrupted]**

**S: Ok? Why here, though? Are the P-Anomalies involved in this, [Data corrupted]**

**??: Indeed. Very much so. Your work over the year in capturing this specimen is very impressive. Very impressive indeed. Its a shame, really, what's about to happen.**

**S: Pardon?**

**\*An audible clicking sound is heard. Identified as a firearm\***

**S: Wh- what are you- Shit, jack watch-**

**\*The gun is fired. A thud is heard afterwards\***

**??: You were a good agent. Your sacrifice is a sad one, but necessary. Soon, [Data corrupted] will arrive. Your work in capturing the anomaly is appreciated, and will be the key in earning [Data corrupted]'s favour!**

**(A-1 The audio cuts out here, in a garbled corrupted mess. It fixes itself 2 minutes later)**

**\*There seems to be silence for a minute, aside from the purge alarm, which started here. then the sounds of someone getting up is heard\***

**S:...Wh- Huh? What happened. Jack what's that sound? Is that an alarm?**

**S: Thats the... Oh god. Jack? You there? ...The bastard shot me! Jack must've took that bullet... Thats the purge alarm, why is it--**

**S: Oh god... Those bastards they... They [Data Corrupted]! God damnit if i just left well enough alone I would have... Oh christ they're all... Wh- What have I done... What have I done?!**

**(A-2 The rest of the file from hereon is corrupted. This was immediately brought up to the CEO. Silver is to be supervised from now on for possible rogue elements. INFORMATION CLASSIFICATION protocol initiated for Project P, to prevent further leaks. To be used as evidence to CEO discretion.)**

**(C-1 Unknown associate troubling. Perform investigation of all employees for possible rogue elements.)**

### Throwaway Phone 2 Text file.

Another throwaway phone recovered without incident. This seems to display a constantly updating list of names, alongside an older code varient the agency once used. Its reasonable to suspect that this is yet another remnant from Silver's "Beta" worldline. Pieces are corrupted, but as time goes by more and more information is cleaned up, seemingly on its own. Research associate on supervising duty.

Old code key: MIA (Missing in action), CK (Confirmed killed), IND(Indoctorinated and/or being manipulated in other means) ALY(Ally or trusted associate) CAU(Caution, Watch closely) U(Unknown standing/Unknown Status) P(Protect at all costs) D(Destroy at all costs)

### Recovered CCTV + Audio file

During an in-agency-incursion to the tv world, with silver as leader, the tv world seemed to react oddly. It appeared to show CCTV of another version of ikebukuro. On-sight researchers recorded using second-hand devices. Contents are converted into text format below:

***An agent appears to be standing on their own, amidst a broken building. Silver is seen walking into frame***

**Silver: "Yo, akira."**

**Akira: "Ah, silver. Lovely seeing you here. Care for a beverage, I have a spare-"**

**Silver: "I've just come for the info you have. You find out where [CORRUPTED] is, or what?"**

**Akira: "Yes, Precisely so."**

***Silver appears to relax a bit, with akira staring off into the distance.***

**Silver: "Great... That maniac's gotta pay for what he's done. For the lives he took."**

**Akira: "Yes... but does that matter?"**

**Silver: "Hm?"**

**Akira: "Killing him wont solve much. Sure, it will be satisfying, but then there you will be, still raging on, confused, surviving."**

**Silver "..."**

***Akira begins to approach silver slowly. One hand behind his back***

**Akira: "Whats the point. Of any of it? Yknow, we've been fighting the agency, all of this, for no reason. And for what? To continue on in a world where everyone hates us?"**

**Silver: "..."**

**Akira: "All we have to do is, a sacrifice, right? I mean, we cant fight gods, silver! You know that! As if that would do any-"**

***In quick succession silver unholsters his sword and slashes across akira. After a couple moments akira collapses onto the ground and ceases movement. Upon closer examination he appears to have had a gun behind his back.***

**Jack: "Told you so, ho"**

**Silver: "Yeah I know... Damnit. We're out of leads."**

**Jack: "We could just leave. we have the means now, ho"**

**Silver: "Not yet. Not until i get revenge on that asshole..."**

The footage cuts off there. Identity of akira noted. Surveilance protocols initiated.

### Radio recording:

In an attempt to claim more information regarding the beta worldline, project AC was established. Results are largly inconsistent, with success rates ranging from the 0.5% scale. As a result of researcher efforts, this radio recording was found. Two individuals were identified due to context clues.

**Silver: "Come in, you reading me?"**

**R: "Hmhm"**

**Silver: "R, your supposed to say 'copy'"**

**R: "That's stupid and so are you."**

**Silver: "You cant still be mad at me. It's been a week"**

**R: "I've been on guard duty for months. You know for a fact I can do more than this"**

**Silver: "And you will, in time. When we're in a less, um... apocalyptic scenario"**

**R: "I dont see how that's possible."**

**Silver: "We have a plan. If the ol' doc's right, that is."**

**R: "I dont trust him."**

**Silver: "You dont trust anyone, R."**

**R: "I trust you."**

**Silver: "And I'm thankful for that. Look, I have a lead. Once I deal with you know who I'll come pick you up. Just another week or so."**

**R: "Fine... Hm?"**

**Silver: "What's up?"**

**R: "Thought I heard something. Hold on."**

**Silver: "No, stay put. I'll teleport back."**

**R: "Its fine, its noth- \*STATIC\*"**

**Silver: "R? R, come in. Damn it-"**

The recording cuts off after that. Success rate of Project AC dissapointing, but more work is being done to improve effectiveness.

### Pictures as of [REDACTED]-[REDACTED]-2021:

Yet another successful result as of project AC, various pictures of the BETA worldline have been recorded and confirmed. Actual pictures were documented via description, and then promptly destroyed. Results are as follows:

Picture 1; Destruction:

*The picture seems to show one of our facilities, confirmed to be the one located in france, visually exposed and wide-open. Fire seems to surround near the entrance, and the door looks to have been broken through, with fires raging beyond those doors. A silouette of a man, wielding a katana, and brandishing a floating fireball on the other hand appears to be in the center of it. Local sources, and visual confirmation by CEO confirms this silouette to be Dr Silver. Picture is labelled "Godkiller's revenge"*

Picture 2; Object of betrayal:

*The picture seems to show a varient of the P-anomaly in the center, donning a crazed expression while looking towards the right. The anomaly appears to be surrounded by bodies, most likely the victims of said anomaly's wrath. Context clues note this to be the anomaly callsigned 'R', though this is purely speculation. In the rightmost section of the picture, an unidentifyable figure is seen. Their stance seem to indicate they are fearful, or mortified. Picture is labelled "Victim of the master's stupidity."*

Picture 3; Crater:

*Not much to describe. It just shows some crater of sorts. More concerningly the picture is labelled "Your end."*

Due to context and information gathered from pictures, Dr Silver has now been classed as an "OMEGA" levelled threat. CEO authorises any and all capture attempts. Do not attempt to kill the subject. Use Protocol-HOSTAGE-SITUATION where necessary and available.

## Glossary

## Trivia

Obviously, unless approved by admins, some of this is merely for lore on the agency. dont expect to see some of this. Also some bits will be edited as things change.

To clarify, the beta worldline is not referencing the PQ3 timeline, it is a seperate timeline completely.
