Back at the start of our explorations, we let all the field agents and R&D staff translate things into English on their own. That meant different translations for the same things. We noticed when somebody - I think it was Ms. Curtis - asked whether "Amy Halloran of the Dimension Administration Bureau" and "Eimi Halowran of the Time-Space Administration Branch" might be the same person, and the group she works for might be a threat rather than an annoyance. We know now that they are the same person, the same group, and the same foreign power with a manifest destiny that gets in our way more often than not.
That's why Mr. Anderson started the Records Management Office. It's a minor division - we work with Explorer Corps, C-SEC, and R&D on a regular basis - but there's enough work for us to do and enough of us doing it that we fill 4% of the DragonCon Tower. RMO is a place for people who aren't cut out to be field agents, or C-SEC and Explorer Corps staff who are recovering from major injuries but want to remain active. While most of the work we do is rather boring, we have identified two Draka snakepits and a Centrum forward base just by running pattern-analysis routines on Corps reports. The top brass thinks we're doing a good job.
(This is a background element, unless somebody wants to tell stories about real-world-type intelligence agents... Hence the lack of detail.)
