Disasters Preparation Committee

The **Disaster Preparatory Committee**, also known as **D.P.C**., is the main protagonistic group of ***Terror Vs. Revival*** but an antagonistic group in ***Distant Sky***. It is an international organization established in South Korea led by the Blue House after the events of Terror Man Season 2 as an independent agency that has authority to control the military with the purpose of dealing with national disasters.

## Background

It is a global organization with the Headquarters in Korea. Threat levels are categorized using Greek letters. Though unclear how many levels there are, from the conversation between the Prime Minister of Korea and Miho Won, there are at least two levels: "Deta" and "Zeta", Zeta being the more serious one. Deta is regarded as the lowest with examples such as a single person no matter the importance of the person is low priority.

**Origins**

After the terrorist attack In Terror Man Season 2 where White's attempt to kidnap President Choi was thwarted by Jungwoo Min and Seokyoung Min's Division, President Choi, by suggestion of Jungwoo, decided to establish the committee with the hope to prevent any disasters in the future.

**Corruption**

Somewhere down the line, the committee becomes corrupted and by the time of Distant Sky, they have become the main villain group, completely taken over by White.

## Structure

Part of the oversight is the Board of Directors. the "Three Contact Device" which was created so that Korea's Prime Minister, Director of the NIS and Minister of Economy could communicate relevant and private information with the DPC.

The DPC has various divisions and has even established fake companies such as MUNT or Queens in order to recruit people to fight against White. During the time of Terror vs Revival, the HQ is in the Seoul Peacemaker Tower.

### Divisions

The structure of the DPC probably evolved over time, but based on the YLAB Universe Encylopedia, there are 5 main bureaus or divisions. (note: some of the divisions mentioned in the Webtoon may or may not fit into those divisions):

#### Encyclopedia

1. **Bureau of Investigation**
	* Department of Space Development - the department which Changuk Lee works at.
	* Command Team 1
	* Investigation Team 1 (military, sword, prosecutor)
2. **Research and Development Bureau**
	* Department of Life Sciences
	* Department of Engineering and Development
	* Department of Physics
3. **Damage Support Division** - this divions is responsible for inspection and operation of damage support, including the preparation and establishment of shelters as well as the preparation of a disaster response manual
4. **Prevention of Recurrence Department** - this department is responsible for collecting and creating a disaster relief data survey, preparing the preventive manual
5. **Administrative Support Office** - the administrative department is responsible for planning and administration, operational support and cooperation with external organizations.

#### Webtoon

Others (divisions not mentioned in the encyclopedia, but show up in the Webtoon):

* **Development and Support Division** - the division that does the research and that Bongchun Kim is the Supervisor.
	+ 42nd Research Institute - compared to other research divisions, this is the place where the most budget is spent and is known worldwide as the place with the highest learning of physics, chemistry, and biotechnology. It is the place where only the top 20 elite scientists gather. Before they enter, they must pledge to forever keep this place a secret. Furthermore, for security reasons, communication with the outside world is restricted. It is the place where Project Willozia was created. The lab was built because the sinkhole is located there.
* Intelligence Division - Seokyoung Min
* Advisory Group
	+ Representative - Seokyoung Min
* 1st Special Forces
	+ Captain - Deokman Jang
* 2nd Special Forces
	+ Yegun Choi

**Facilities**

* Special Quarantine Facility - it is a prison exclusively for dangerous people.

## Power and Reach

It is said that the UN Committee on Information Surveillance is the only UN organization that can hold itself against the DPC

At the end of The Queens (Webtoon), Miho Won hands the Okta Particle Container (originally possessed by Sambuca) to Bongchun to study. Bongchun arrives to the conclusion that the energy within is definitely not of this world (i.e. Alien), thus Miho tells Bongchun to use it to create an ultimate weapon the DPC can use.

## Timeline/History

The timeline of the DPC branches out during the events of Terror vs Revival as Miho Won effectively changes the future using her knowledge of it given by Heyool. The timeline below lists the events of the main timeline where the future was changed:

### Other Timelines

Below is where the timeline begins to branch out into different alternate timelines:

**Terror vs Revival Original Timeline**

In this timeline, Miho Won is killed by Yak and Jungwoo, under the control of Atrahasis destroys 1/3 of Seoul.

* Changhyuk causes the death of Jungwoo's father, Seokyoung Min, causing Jungwoo to go on a killing spree, killing Changhyuk in public.
* Yak kills Miho Won and Director Kim of the DPC.
* Jungwoo destroyes one-third of Seoul and defeats Hwan.

**Distant Sky Timeline**

This is the timeline in which Hwan is able to defeat Jungwoo and Hwan transfers his abilities of the Revivalist to Jungwoo. Everything up until the battle between Team Terror and Team Revival is essentially the same:

* Changhyuk causes the death of Jungwoo's father, Seokyoung Min, causing Jungwoo to go on a killing spree, killing Changhyuk in public.
* Yak kills Miho Won and Director Kim of the DPC.
* Jungwoo destroyes one-third of Seoul.
* Hwan arrives in this dimension through the paper with "Distant Sky" on it.
* Hwan Seok defeats Jungwoo and transfers part of his Revivalist abilities to Jungwoo
* Jungwoo joins the DPC, but it slowly becomes corrupt
* The DPC recruits Dr.Kang and Project Sky is proposed
* The DPC begins to build bunkers and prepares for the disaster
* The disaster arrives earlier than expected
* Jungwoo recruits Chunguk Lee
* Sinkholes begin to appear across Korea, DPC soldiers are ordered to kill all survivors and capture Dr.Kang.
* The DPC distributes Dr.Kang's research to other research centers and they begin to do human experiments.
* Naro Space Center is able to duplicate Dr.Kang's reagent, but end up eating up each other as the reagent does not remove the need for food.

## Webtoon Appearance

### Terror Man Season 2

Jungwoo Min proposes the idea of the committee to Congressman Euiseok Jung in the midst of all the fighting, saying how a committee would be more ideal than having a team of "fakes" (referring to his team) trying to resolve national disasters. After the incident in the tower, the president officially forms the Disaster Preparatory Committee with Congressman Jung Ui Suk as the first director and Min Seok Young as its advisor. Congressman Jung Ui Suk asked if the US would be willing to help and the President mentions that she would take care of foreign affairs but that Jung Ui Suk should take care of setting up the infrastructure. The President agrees to give Min Suk Yung the codes to the alien tech the Korean government had been decoding on the premise that he would cooperate for three years first.

### Island Part 2

The Disaster Preparation Committee (DPC) is mentioned partnering together with the Japanese experts to investigate on the Halla volcano eruption. However, the conclusion was that the volcano was not active (as it was an illusion all along).

### The Queens

In the last episode, Miho has already become the chairman of the DPC and is seen in the DPC office as Bongchun reports to her about the findings on the Okta Particle container.

### Terror vs Revival

In the first few episodes it is revealed that MUNT is part of the DPC of which Miho Won is the chairman. Miho informs Jungwoo that his fight with the Bishop has caused some casualties and advises him to retire. After the attack of Obeid Al-Dosari on the Clevil Tower (MUNT HQ), the public broadcast is that Director Kim Dae-Il managed to combat the attack on the tower and is taking rest. A urgent meeting is held with the Prime Minister of Korea and other government officials. They believe Korea should be monitoring the DPC as the HQ is in Korea and demand Miho Won to share all the info regarding DPC's actions, beginning with security level "Deca" until "Zeta", especially with regards to the Terrorist. Miho Won responds saying how since the establishment of the DPC, man-made accidents and natural disasters have decreased by more than 70%, stating how Terror Man has done a better job than past politicians. Miho Won further states how the DPC has dealt with all kinds of threats, such as the unknown epidemic that took place on a cruise ship a year ago which  almost killed the head of the department and 10 high-ranking officials. The Prime Minister agrees saying that that was a Zeta level threat, to which, Miho corrects him saying that from the perspective of the DPC, whether one ordinary person or the President dies, it would only be "Deca" level and hints that none of these threats could compare to the disaster that is coming to the world.

After Seokyoung Min's death, Director Kim is able to barely reach an agreement with Bratva as Bratva was not going to turn a blind eye to Seokyoung Min's death. The agreement was that Bratva would just send one person to Korea, thus avoiding bringing in the US and the UN into this situation.

### Marco Polo's Travel to Multiverse

At some point in time, Miho is outsted as the chairman because of an incident in Jeju Island 3 years back where White attacked Jeju Island, killing innocent civilians and Miho had to deploy the superhumans to resolve the problem. However, Miho was blammed for the death fo the civilians and kicked out of the DPC. Ever since, the DPC has pretty much been under White control.

### Kangtawoo

The DPC wants to fire the Hyunsoo-7 missile to destroy Avagoron and though Bongchun goes against that decision, the official suggesting firing the missile reminds him that the committee's is not build on "Justice" but "Rationality", thus will do whatever it takes to achieve the goal of preventing a disaster, even hiring criminals or killing innocent people for greater good.

### Distant Sky

Before the disaster begins, NASA already detected the potential of a global disaster and thus Korea's government decides to join China in reaching out to Dr. Kang. Presummably Dr. Kang became the head of the research in the DPC at this point. A few years later, in a Disaster Preparatory Committee meeting, Dr. Euicheol Kang proposes Project Sky as a solution.

The government begins to build emergency shelters around the country in order to prepare for the disaster to come. Part of the army is being trained in preparation for the disaster for 2 years already before the disaster happened. These soldiers were in fact trained to eliminate survivors.

Various experiments are being conducted in Severance Hospital. Transport trucks carry animals from the Seoul Zoo to the Hospital to do animal testing, presumably for completion of Project Sky under Dr. Kang. The DPC also releases a report on the recent issue of "Nature" that will supposedly shake the world.

It seems something came up and the DPC contacts Dr. Kang, cutting his conversation with his son, Haneul Kang, short. As Haneul leaves the restaurant, he notices trucks pass by that have "Seoul Zoo Special Transport Vehicle" labelled on them and various police cars that follow.

The government send troops down the sinkhole in order to check on the situation as well as track down Dr. Kang. They are quite surprised to find that there are so many survivors even months after the incident. They began to kill all the survivors they could find. Unless they kill all the survivors, they cannot go back to the surface. The soldiers are finally able to track Dr. Kang, but he ends up committing suicide.
