B.E.R.U.

The Backlogs Emergency Response Unit, or the B.E.R.U., is the largest wanderer formed group in The Backlogs and is responsible for most of the research, data, and most organizations throughout The Backlogs.

## Description

The B.E.R.U. was founded in 1959 by just two wanderers that happened to fall into The Backlogs and run into each other on Level 1. The two strangers, Percival and Barrett, set out together with one goal in mind, finding and helping others that found themselves trapped within the deadly halls. Just one year later, the B.E.R.U. had over 100 members and has collected data on a large number of levels and entities. There are many divisions of the organization and each will be explained in full.

## History

Having been founded in 1959, the B.E.R.U. has extensive history with The Backlogs, the levels that lie within, and the entities that inhabit them. The goal of the B.E.R.U. was to show wanderers that though The Backlogs may be scary and otherworldly, and the The Real World is long gone to them, they aren't alone. There are others that know exactly what they're going through. They wanted to empower wanderers that they can survive this impossible, deadly maze of monsters. Like-minded people came together after Percival and Barrett started leaving notes on where they can find refuge.

These people quickly grew in number and began splitting off into other divisions where their talents were most appreciated. This began the need for numerous bases, and as more levels were discovered, more bases were being set up. The B.S.R, B.R.L.U., and B.S.S.U. began expanding their own groups and reported back to the main B.E.R.U. base regularly. Percival and Barrett are no longer living, but their portraits can be seen at any B.E.R.U. base and information on both of them can be found at the main B.E.R.U. base.

## Positions

There are currently three positions available that are separate divisions of the B.E.R.U., but are all members of the B.E.R.U.

### **Backlogs Search and Rescue Response Team**

B.S.R.

The Backlogs Search and Rescue Response Team is responsible for, as their name suggests, searching for wanderers and helping them if they're in any kind of trouble. All wanderers found by the B.S.R. are given medical care, as well as food and water, then offered to come back to one of their many bases. Though there isn't one in every level of The Backlogs, the B.S.R. has 15 different bases scattered around and more locations are being discovered by our Scouting team. This team currently has 30 members and they travel in groups of five in order to cover more areas more effectively.

### **Backlogs Resource and Location Unit**

B.R.L.U.

The B.R.L.U. is one of the most important groups in The Backlogs as they are responsible for finding all of the resources that the B.E.R.U. have today. They also find all of the areas where bases are set up around The Backlogs. This group has founded over 30 bases and provided the resources needed to make various weapons, make-shift farms, and even drones used to capture images from numerous levels that are too dangerous for the B.E.R.U. to document using normal procedures. The equipment used by the B.E.R.U. is constantly updated when new resources become available and receive upgrades to improve picture quality and the signal range. The bases set up by the B.E.R.U. are all protected by automated security systems, as well as a few members of the Backlogs Safety and Security Unit.

### **Backlogs Safety and Security Unit**

B.S.S.U.

The Backlogs Safety and Security Unit is responsible for keeping the bases and more important members of the B.E.R.U. safe from dangerous wanderers and lethal entities. There are currently 75 members of the security unit and each member goes through very intense physical training and is even kept on a strict diet and exercise routine to maintain peak performance. These members are stationed around all active B.E.R.U. bases and outside of Deadzone levels to ensure wanderers don't enter the wrong level and find themselves in a fatal situation. The B.S.S.U. is always looking for new members and any wanderers interested should find the nearest B.E.R.U. base for instructions on how to apply.

## Joining the B.E.R.U.

Anyone who specializes in any of the positions listed above should find the nearest B.E.R.U. base for which position they wish to take. Experience is not needed for all positions, but B.E.R.U positions and B.S.S.U. positions prefer the interested party to be in shape. Anyone who is deemed untrustworthy or dangerous will be turned away or escorted out by members of the B.S.S.U.
