MIS

## Description:

The Magic Intelligence Service, or the Domestic Office of Magical Intelligence, is the United Kingdom's government branch responsible for the managing of Magic and the enforcement of Magic-related laws within the country. The division focuses primarily on domestic affairs, but will address or outsource external threats of supernatural natures to other groups like the JPCU if deemed necessary; the group works to manage and limit Magic within the United Kingdom, and prefers not to deal with the anomalous at all, leaving such affairs to the SCP Foundation or GOC. MIS acts as one of the several governmental influences within Three Portlands.

While not advertised explicitly, the population of the United Kingdom is generally very aware of the MIS; those beyond the UK's borders may not know of the group, out of cultural ignorance rather than the organization's secrecy. The group works in broad daylight, but is known to have secret Sites across the UK that are not public knowledge.

## Organization:

### Capital: MIS HQ, London, England

MIS answers directly to the Prime Minister and ruling Monarch of the United Kingdom; while Parliament has the authority to limit the group's jurisdictions, Parliament is not able to give orders to MIS or otherwise limit the scope or details of their operations. Under the King/Queen and Prime Minister sit the Director of MIS, who oversees the organization at the national scale, directs and manages its resources, and allocates appropriate assets to face the myriad paranormal threats. Under the Director sit the various managers and sub-managers that oversee more regional and local affairs, with standard Agents acting as the expert footmen, infiltrators, and enforcers.

MIS recruits from the other British intelligence services (MI5, MI6, etc.), and the British military branches; soldiers and agents who are exposed or harmed by supernatural, paranormal, or anomalous incidents are given the chance to be apart of MIS. Certain specific individuals are sought out directly for their knowledge and skills, although this is often a method of recruitment reserved for special cases or exceptional individuals. MIS recruits whenever they can, as the group is generally understaffed compared to the other, mundane branches of the British government.

MIS dedicates large portions of its resources to "The War of Three Courts" against the Fairy Kingdom of Ireland; this Cold War between the two (2) states is often the talk of media in the UK and across Europe. Other large portions of the group's scant resources are expended managing and overseeing UnLondon, the Hinterland connected to London. The rest of MIS's assets are spent managing Britain's Magic Colleges, the magic-inclined races that inhabit the UK, and managing knowledge and use of Magic within the United Kingdom.

The JPCU and MIS often find themselves participating in a tense and uneasy alliance with one another; MIS is too poorly equipped to handle large threats, and the JPCU lacks official jurisdiction within the UK to operate as freely as it does in other parts of the world. As a result, MIS and the JPCU operate as "mutual partners" in many operations within Britain, although competition between the organizations is rampant. These problems between the groups started when the JPCU refused to show proper respect for the royalty of Britain; refusing to recognize Royal authority over the JPCU, the United Kingdom refused the JPCU jurisdiction within their borders.

### Equipment:

MIS operates using modern clothes, their agents dressed in the finest suits and fashion styles available; these formal means of dress simultaneously act as armor via interwoven nanocarbon plating, Kevlar sheets, or Magic enchantments. MIS uses only modern equipment wherever possible, although many of its medium-to-high level agents use Magic artifacts of ancient make and model.

MIS uses all of the most modern and cutting-edge technologies to compete with other, similar organizations like the CBPA or SCP Foundation, and uses this technology to compensate for the group's lack of manpower. Railweaponry, advanced armor and vehicles, Magitechnology, etc. are all well within MIS's reach.

Being the Magic division of the British government, MIS is comprised of very well-trained, well-educated experts in Magic and its many fields. Almost every member of the organization is a spellcaster of some sort, with those exceptions being at least trained in Magic if not Anti-Magic outright. Magic weapons, armor, vehicles, and items are commonplace within MIS.
