Shoddy Intelligence

Alright, so, tonight's had a bit of a debate going on between some commenters and myself in the comments section of the last post.

I just got off the line with Central Command. They're unwilling to send additional squads or anymore science personnel to accelerate our research or help with our current objectives. Whatever those are.

We've been running practically blind for...however long. I don't even remember. It's been too crazy lately, and days are starting to merge together. I'm running on seventeen cups of coffee and I'm practically falling apart from exhaustion. Reliable intelligence is sporadic, and I simply don't have enough people on staff to take a valuable individual, plop them in a computer chair, and say 'read all of these blogs and take notes.' We're understaffed because of the Revenant attack, and before that, casualties were trickling in by the hour because of our emphasis on search-and-destroy operations. And we can't pull some schmuck off the street for it, because PTC protocol specifically demands that we don't fucking do that.

Central Command's willing to make a rare exception, given our extreme situation, and the fact that we've proven to be worth the cost in money and lives by sending some valuable research into dimensional folding/teleportation we've sent their way. It can be repurposed for dealing with other paranormal activity later, and it's considered 'appropriate' to issue a bit of leeway to Divisions that perform well in such a capacity. In other words, they're going to let us break a few rules because we've been productive.

They're willing to let us work with Irregulars again. Intelligence-gathering, field operations, whatever. As long as we don't start handing out laser weapons like party favors, they're cool with it.

What I need from you guys is regular, up-to-date information so the Slender Man Division's Military Department doesn't run around blind. What I'd like you guys to do is decide what you want in return, and select a liaison from amongst your own ranks to compile and hand off all of this intelligence to us, and keep us updated on happenings regarding Irregulars.

If this sounds acceptable, select a liaison and we'll get back to you. I'd like to personally request that you select Reach for the job. He's frank, to-the-point, and in-the-know. Perfect for the position. But, I'll leave the actual selection up to you guys.
