Central Intelligence Agency

C.I.A Seal

## Founding of the C.I.A

> The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was established on September 18, 1947, by President Harry S. Truman, with the signing of the National Security Act of 1947 into law. The CIA was created to address the problems of duplication, competition, and lack of coordination that had characterized previous U.S. intelligence and counterintelligence efforts. The need for a group to coordinate government intelligence efforts was identified by government circles at the close of World War II, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the State Department, the War Department, and even the Post Office were all jockeying for that new power. General William “Wild Bill” Donovan, head of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), wrote to President Franklin D. Roosevelt on November 18, 1944, stating the need for a peacetime “Central Intelligence Service … which will procure intelligence both by overt and covert methods and will at the same time provide intelligence guidance, determine national intelligence objectives, and correlate the intelligence material collected by all government agencies”, and have authority to conduct “subversive operations abroad”, but "no police or law enforcement functions, either at home or abroad". Donovan’s letter was prompted by a query from General Dwight Eisenhower’s Chief of Staff about the nature of the role of the OSS in the military establishment. *(Source: Bing)*

## C.I.A Post Calamity

The C.I.A had intended to take over and lead Project Phoenix after the eventual collapse of the United States government, but this was eventually thwarted when officials at Homeland Security, and the Governor of Texas ended up initiating their own version of Project Phoenix. Following this, the C.I.A facilities all around Virginia were either left uninhabitable for long durations of time due to high-toxification, or lack of manpower to defend said facilities. This followed a long migration out towards West Virginia, where they found success in taking the capital, Charleston. Left relatively unharmed by the great attacks, they utilized former United States Government facilities, as well as much outdated, but still functional C.I.A bunkers, black sites and federal buildings.

Following the 80 years after the war, the C.I.A figureheads in Virginia managed to make contact with officials in the Pentagon, while few, they managed to be one of the last remaining sources of nationwide connection, allowing the C.I.A to form a rather unlikely partnership with the Department of Defense, using their said connections to connect outposts and facilities from both Virginia, and West Virginia, as well as uncovering the local of several hundred cold-war era government facilities, untouched for over a hundred years.

This semi-dysfunctional alliance between the C.I.A and the D.o.D ended up being quite a formidable one, only strengthened over time, eventually finding a common enemy in the U.S.P.F.T.R.I, stating it to be a threat to genuine American freedom, and only "a new coloniser". As such, over the next 50 years, several clashes would go on to happen, whether under the guise of crazed locals, or an organized militia, they serve, together, as the biggest thorn in the side for the U.S.P.F.T.R.I. Eventually, though, following an unknown breach of security in October of 2130, most attacks had been ceased over all, and the sphere of influence within the alliance had weakened greatly, the cause itself, still unknown.
