	What the higher-ups behind this cadre don’t know is that their operation has already been compromised. Two vampires already within the NSA have been intercepting messages from the officer troika, so any actual action taken would likely lead to the plan’s demise in its entirety. The SAD, which has received information from NSA contacts in the past, has hesitated on full-blown cooperation for this exact reason. A couple of burned CIA spies now work with the Agency, but their numbers are few.		What the higher-ups behind this cadre don’t know is that their operation has already been compromised.

	In terms of operations, most are headed up by the SAD’s full-time agents, who possess a wealth of hunting knowledge and experience. But with how few of them they are, the department has to rely on a number of staff from other divisions in the Bureau to pad out its ranks. Most of these agents moonlighted with the SAD, having encountered the supernatural at least once in their past. While they’re not as in the know as their more veteran colleagues, they are aware of what’s at stake.

	There is one exception to this: Bob Schnoblin. Considered a paranoid crank by most other agents, he nonetheless clings onto his desk job at Langley, largely busy stamping the reports of those actually on the field. When he’s not doing that, however, he’s drawing up his “Pyramid of Satanic Power” - which, given what information he has to work with, is surprisingly accurate, identifying figures such as “King Ventrue (666)”, “The Werewolf Order”, “Vampire Nuns” and, of course, “Black Dog Games”.

	The youngest member of the US intelligence community, the DHS was, from its inception, turned into a trojan horse for vampires to sweep their activities under the rug. This hasn’t stopped some members of the DHS’s various different subdepartments - FEMA, ICE, CBP, TSA, so on and so forth - from catching a whiff of the supernatural and deciding to investigate, even against management orders.

	DHS hunters coordinate via an electronic mailing list only known as the Watch List. Who runs it isn’t known; by this point it may very well be a fully decentralized effort. Monthly reminders are sent on the e-mail chain reminding hunters posting about “paranormal domestic terrorists” that the service they are using is probably compromised; both by their higher-ups and by the very creatures they seek to hunt.

	“The Company” as it is more commonly known, the CIA, due to the external direction of its missions, has had few encounters with the paranormal and as such its leadership always dismissed claims of such as bogus. This is all too convenient for well-connected supernaturals, who will often call upon Company spies to do their bidding abroad and acquire information they couldn’t reach otherwise.		“The Company” as it is more commonly known, the CIA, due to the external direction of its missions, has had few encounters with the paranormal and as such its leadership always dismissed claims of such as bogus.

	Post-2001, with the NSA’s leadership thoroughly shuffled and General Clifford forcefully retired to a nursing home, the three officers left in the know - General Shivers, Colonel Riley and Colonel Johnstone - operate under a misguided view derived from what incomplete notes they could scrounge from their predecessor’s office. They believe the US is facing an extradimensional invasion, and have taken to training a small cadre of agents, about two dozen men, at a secret facility in New Mexico.

	A shadow of its former self, the modern SAD is down from dozens of full-time offices operating countrywide to just three overstretched teams that have to handle the vast majority of supernatural cases received by the FBI from local authorities. Previously feared within the Bureau for its secretive and independent nature, the department is now the butt of many jokes in regards to its ridiculous operational remit. Who would ever believe in monsters and vampires, after all?
