What If...
The Cold War never really got any warmer?
The Iron Curtain never fell?
The "Red Scare" was still scary?
The Superheroes we all know and love never existed?
"Who the 'heroes' and 'villians' are depends alot more on which side you're on than on what they're doing..."
"One thing's for sure: It's getting wierder and wierder out there every day..."- Proxie Bleu, Internet "goddess"
The year is 2005. The world as we know it stands in a state of quiet tension, the super-powers, the United States and the USSR moving their different players around like pieces of a giant, international chess match, each looking to somehow get an edge- no matter what the cost.
Rumor has it that there are individuals living among us with strange abilities and wonderful powers- of course, the governments all claim that these are just rumors. Rumor also says that we've made contact with extraterrestrials, and that the government is performing secret experiments on the human genome. Officially, these are just rumors. But they're persistent, these rumors...
Behind the scenes, a quiet war is being played out, all around us, everyday. It is a war of secrets and espionage on an international level. The players: any number of clandestine government agencies on both sides, which technically don't really exist. Added to this mix are the mysterious shadow governments, with their own equally mysterious agendas. International Crime syndicates and terrorist networks are having a field day, each doing their own thing for their own reasons. And of course, the free agents and mercenaries in the private sector... or are they backed by the Industry Moguls? One may never truly know. The Prize? Control of the world, of course.
Welcome to The Agency, an International organization devoted to maintaining the peace and security of the world through behind-the-scenes, clandestine operations.
Agencies I- IX deal primarily with research and development, and other, similar, necessary functions.
Agencies XI- XIII are largely administrative and deal with the beauracracy needed to keep the organization alive.
Agency X- Special Operations and Investigation.
Welcome to the team.
