You believe. You have always believed. Squad assignment prioritizes corridor lanes with active sign.
Both rosters muster together. The forest does not care what you believe.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this dangerous?
- Statistically, the drive to muster is the most dangerous part of the operation. He has never harmed anyone in ten thousand years of documented restraint. Division 9's driving record is not available to us.
- I don't believe any of this.
- Then the Skeptic Corps needs you specifically. Adversarial observers get the same equipment, the same lanes, and the standing right to say 'told you so' at the debrief. No Skeptic Corps member has ever exercised it in writing.
- What is the marker equipment, exactly?
- Compressed-air engagement-simulation markers — the standard system for training fire restraint against moving targets without any possibility of harming the subject. It is also, the Bureau concedes, extremely fun. That is doctrine-compatible.
- What should I bring?
- Broken-in boots, water, and layers. Leave the cologne — he can smell it. Cameras are squad-issue; your phone is your backup. Disbelief is permitted equipment and historically does not survive contact with grid B4.
- Can Division 9 attend?
- They have not asked. They do not ask.
