[[This is a tentative template for organizations, which I see as being potentially a big deal for RP]]
Unethical Organization
Full Name: Vital Enforcement and Intelligence Laboratories
Abbreviations/Colloquialisms: VEIL
Year Founded: 1898
Total Personnel: 20,000
Budget: Low
Technological Level: Super
Notoriety: Covert
Objective: Safeguard 'American interests' and 'security' within the homeland and abroad through the development of possibly unethical technologies deemed necessary for maintaining an edge over foreign and internal enemies.
Cover (optional): None
History:
VEIL was founded in 1898 by the order of then-President William McKinely as the shadowy side of his tariff-heavy, exclusionist foreign policy. Put forth then to research technology in making American soldiers more durable in the field, primarily through conditioning and drugs. At the time, their budget was cursory, and it was not until the events of the first World War that VEIL made its first advances, creating potent formulas for poison gas, including one that ate through the filters of gas masks to be used in the fields of Europe.
In 1932, they developed the first artificially induced psychics to combat the crimewave, and later improved these agents for the Cold War. Their funding and personnel peaked after 9/11, when President George W. Bush signed an executive order to black fund VEIL a whole 2% of the country's GDP, which it used to develop weapons under the guise of the Department of Defense and DARPA, who powerlessly looked on or were kept out of the loop. At the time, VEIL had over one million employees.
One such weapon, the USS Midway and it's VISCUS and HECATONCHIRE core, would lead to its downfall. After the events of the Mercury Bay Massacre, at the hands of the wayward SUBJECT No. 556, combined with the investigations of the FBI, which had been suspicious as to the constitutionality of VEIL for years, VEIL collapsed under a storm of scandal and public furor over their actions.
Some VEIL operatives were indicted, but many received light sentences and were put to work in other branches of service. Secretly, the organization still maintains itself, all 20,000 of its remaining, dedicated members. Others, who received heavier sentences, like Dr. Akatsuki, escaped from prison and now operate in parts unknown.
Known Personnel:
-Dr. Kenji Akatsuki, Director of HECATONCHIRE
-Subject No. 556, Mercury Bay Massacre perpatrator
Known Facilities: VEIL was originally headquartered at Mercury City, in an underground complex known as the Vault. It has since been abandoned.
Other:
The VEIL uniform is black and silver.
