Difference between revisions of "Section 26"

Section 26 or Defense Department Section 26, is a division of the Defense Department tasked with identifying, evaluating, assisting, and securing Different individuals. The Department was first created in 1963,  it was named Section 26 in order to obfuscate it's role when appearing on budgetary line item reports. The name remained even after the Department became public following the revelation of [[Operation Blue Hawk]] in 1965 . Through the 1960's and 70's, Section 26 worked primarily to monitor the United States populace for the appearance of Different individuals. When a possible Different was identified, Section 26 agents would contact the individual and work with that individual to evaluate and control their Differentiation. Section 26 agents would also evaluate the individual for possible use by the Defense Department. These meetings were largely held on a voluntary basis. The majority of Different individuals were confused and frightened by their abilities, and they were happy to receive any support.
