graduate usually notice a difference between the cleared sta-
tistics and their own direct experiences. This serves to rein-
force the notion that information is a precious and well-
guarded commodity in the NDD.
Director’s Annual Report to
Twelfth Directorate
Clearance: MJ9
Subject: Division 7, Psychological and
Paranormal Studies (P&P)
Deputy Director: Vanessa Smythe
Much has been learned and refined about psychic capacity over the past fifty years, and much remains a mystery. The Reticulans have provided some insight into psychic abilities, but a lack of empathy between our two species and an increasingly uncooperative atti- tude on the part of the EBEs have resulted in limited opportunities for exchange of information. The dearth of psychically talented NDD operatives also con- tributes to this slow process. Through joint RAT pro- grams, P&P has stepped up efforts to recruit agents manifesting psychical talents.
Eighteen years ago, the Paranormal Studies Division was merged into P&P. This has proven an extraordi- narily efficient move, not only from an organization- al standpoint, but also because research points to a connection between the paranormal or “supernatu- ral” and the psychic abilities manifested by humans, and possibly also by EBEs. Limited attempts ten years ago at actually performing historically cited “rites” and “rituals” led to the contamination of eighteen agents, who subsequently displayed socio- pathic tendencies and had to be terminated to main- tain Directorate integrity. Since that time, P&P poli- cy bans use of “supernatural” powers. While this renders high-quality experimental research difficult, anecdotal and qualitative analyses have been extremely useful and much more secure. Highly restricted research continues in hopes that it will provide us with more information regarding mental processes and the supernatural.
Since the inception of the NDD, much has been learned about human mental functioning, and impor- tant advances have been made into understanding Reticulan and Gna-Tall mental capacities. Through intensive testing and training, P&P has been able to field a number of psychically talented agents, who have proven to be of great value to the Directorate, not only in gathering information, but also in relating to the Reticulans and their experimental human-alien hybrids. Reticulan “metahumans” are a wildcard at best; some have been recruited into the NDD in exchange for protection from the Reticulans, while others are obviously the front lines of a Reticulan effort at infiltrating deeper levels of the NDD. As such, P&P treats all known metahumans with great caution and limits their security clearance recommendation to MJ5 or lower.

CHAPTER 5
Subdivision Breakdown
Cerebral Research (CERRES): Short-term infiltration
into the MKULTRA program in 1968 did much to fur- ther P&P efforts at developing mind control methods. The most reliable form of mental conditioning is cur- rently a combination of drugs and hypnotic sugges- tion. Some speculate that a psychic form of control exists, given the Reticulans’ ability to exert control over their hybrid creations, but no conclusive data have been obtained as yet. CERRES has made basic inroads into understanding EBE brain chemistry and physiology, but the EBEs are reluctant to provide much information in this area. CERRES development of Sleeper program protocols has been widely accept- ed and implemented, and Sleeper agents are used in a variety of capacities. For the foreseeable future, P&P will continue this project and expand subjects pre- pared for a variety of geographic areas, socioeconomic strata, and corporate access.
Psychic Research (PSIRES): In many ways, P&P’s
work with the Reticulans has not changed since the Reticulan Compact was signed. Indeed, some facets of Reticulan society continue to be a complete mystery. Over the past two decades, P&P has worked proac- tively with the Reticulans, attempting to understand their motivation and needs, in order to bargain with them more effectively. At times, they are completely uncooperative. At other times, they are surprisingly forthcoming—but much of the information they pro- vide proves of little value. P&P cannot determine if this inconsistency is in response to PSIRES action or if it is simply a manifestation of heretofore unknown EBE preferences or attitudes. Given the Reticulan facil- ity with metahumans, P&P is fairly certain they are able to genetically manufacture psychic ability, and thus can provide information toward decoding human genetic markers for psychic talents.
Paranormal Research (PARRES): PARRES work was
almost completely phased out two decades ago, but a handful of loyal researchers insisted on the impor- tance of continuing the study of the paranormal, if only because Aegis and other organizations seem to make much of this type of activity. At that time, PAR- RES relinquished its divisional status and merged with P&P. In the past several years, there has been some undocumented research linking the use of psy- chic talents to an increase in paranormal energy and manifestations, but P&P’s self-imposed ban on exper- imenting with paranormal energy makes it difficult to determine exact causes and effects. In addition, some connection between psychic ability and the paranor- mal manifestation of the so-called “Taos Hum” seems to exist, and this may warrant further research by qualified personnel, albeit under strictly controlled and monitored circumstances.
Director’s Annual Report to
Twelfth Directorate
Clearance: MJ9
Subject: Division 8, Scientific
Research and Development (SRD)
Deputy Director: Thomas Fagan
Originally conceived as two separate Divisions, Scientific Theory and Theoretical Applications, these programs were merged just five years after the creation of the Directorate. SRD has worked consistently since that time to push the forefront of scientific and theoreti- cal advances. Numerous research programs are scat- tered around the USA, hidden in sponsoring corporate organizations and military installations. Input from these programs and other research results that are pub- lically and privately available to EI is collated and syn- thesized. SRD meta-analysis of scientific study is second to none. Projects deemed potential security risks are per- formed by SRD itself, and kept under tight security within NDD facilities at all times. Most of these projects are MJ7 clearance and above.
Over the past thrity-eight years, SRD has worked to blend EBE science with that of a more mundane, terres- trial nature. Although the NDD had high hopes of learn- ing much from the Reticulans, they have been exceed- ingly reticent about releasing information regarding their scientific advances. Indeed, analysis has shown the probability that the Reticulans do not conduct scientific research nor possess scientific knowledge comparable to that of humans. Still, further research is necessary before any definitive conclusions may be reached.
The alliance with the Gna-Tall has proven to be far more advantageous, and they have provided information beyond our most optimistic expectations. Their work in gravitronics theory has been essential for R&D’s recent technological advances. Unfortunately, much of the information they have generously provided remains beyond our current level of comprehension. Naturally, SRD has not revealed this to the Gna-Tall, lest it be per- ceived as a potential weakness within the NDD. In keeping with SRD’s mission, work continues on theo- retical applications for the disruption of psychic ability, microwave distortion fields, and electromagnetics. In the event that either of the NDD’s EBE allies opts to dissolve the alliance and becomes an independent agency and/or opposing force, SRD is developing new methods for both attack and defense targeted specifically at those species. These projects, classified MJ9 clearance, are at the exploratory stage only. If successful, SRD will work closely with R&D to provide appropriate mechanisms for use.

Subdivision Breakdown
BioGenetic Research (BIOGEN): At the inception of the
BIOGEN subdivision, research, analysis and applica- tions were extremely limited and rudimentary. With the technological and scientific advances in the past two decades, however, BIOGEN capabilities have expanded a hundredfold. Working closely with corporations who specialize in decoding the human genome and identify- ing markers, BIOGEN has been able to accumulate a vast quantity of information about biogenetics. This database has proven useful not only in terms of per- forming independent analyses, but also in suggesting useful forms of scientific experimentation.
Frequently, BIOGEN requests and receives volunteers from the array of NDD agents, and P&P is particularly interest- ed in learning more about psychic ability as a genetic trait. To date, genetic understanding of the Gna-Tall is very lim- ited, and with the Reticulans even more so, as both groups are markedly reluctant to part with much information about their physiology -- most likely out of a viable concern for physical vulnerability. BIOGEN has, however, gleaned some data about mental and psychic functioning from P&P’s CERRES program.
Pharmacological Research (PHARRES): Scientific
exploration of pharmacological substances has led to the development of a variety of useful compounds. Many of the earlier compounds were dedicated to mind-control purposes and for research on mental functions. Recent advances have pushed forward on a number of fronts. PHARRES has been able to develop substances to block pain and to artificially increase a person’s healing rate. Once the body’s recovery mechanisms were unlocked, PHARRES was also able to create medicines to defend against microorganisms and to increase protection against biotoxins and radiation. Currently PHARRES is examining ways to bolster the body’s natural responses to changes in pressure, so as to allow pilots to turn at greater than 11gs and improve SCUBA divers’ ascension rates. These substances remain in the experimental stages, and are not ready for field deployment.
General Science: Being responsible for all sciences not
under the purview of pharmacology or biogenetics means that, at any given time, General Science has over 100 projects under its supervision and control. Many of these projects, such as the recent bioglove design, are conducted on NDD bases. However, some lower securi- ty projects, or research easily dismissed as “eccentric” or “fanciful” thanks to the work of IA and DDS, are con- ducted in plain sight.
Many of SRD’s best operatives are culled from programs at prestigious universities who have been denied the support of their peers. Provision of funding for their research is a convenient method for determining whether they are amenable to the goals of the NDD.
Director’s Annual Report to
Twelfth Directorate
Clearance: MJ9
Subject: Division 10, Operations (Ops)
Deputy Director: Maxwell DeFarge
After construction was completed at Dulce, Operations was created through the merger of Division 10, Systems, and Division 11, Personnel. Since that time, Ops has been integral in coordination between depart- ments, under conditions consistent with DDS’s securi- ty mandates.
Over the past two decades, Ops’ ability to coordinate with various departments has developed into dedicated mission planning and preparation. As such, Ops is usu- ally the first to be apprised of requests for equipment, conveyances, personnel, and information. It then dis- seminates these requests to the appropriate divisions, which streamlines communication and decreases redun- dant requests. Currently, all requests are conveyed through secure lines of communication, whether inter- nal or external.
Ops is the central repository of critical information. As such, its efforts are subject to special investigation and monitoring by DDS. In conjunction with DDS, Ops conducts regular security and administrative audits. While detrimental to over-arching efficiency, these reviews are viewed as vital to the continued survival of the NDD.
With respect to funding, Ops’ greatest increase in liq- uid assets occurred during the Cold War through defense contractors. As the Soviet Union receded in geopolitical power, this line of funding has become more tenuous. The best option at this stage is to con- tinue to use scientific and technological advances to seed major corporations with economically viable products and collect a portion of any profit garnered from sales. At the current rate of fund-raising, Ops should be able to maintain status quo capacity for at least fifteen years. By 2015, however, the NDD finan- cial position may require comprehensive reevaluation. Some plans to redirect an increased amount of govern- ment funding have been established, but are unreliable at this stage. Thus, alternate long-term funding sources should be identified.
Dulce continues to serve well as the primary NDD base, and NDD expansion to main and auxiliary bases has provided for reasonable operational redundancy in the event Dulce becomes untenable either for security and/or survival purposes. Currently, Dulce is accessible via both air and ground, and DDS has been successful in regulating all transportation in the area.

CHAPTER 5
To casual or careful scrutiny, the area in and around Dulce appears to be an operational military base, and all government records relating to the property are highly classified, further reducing risk. Both EI and DDS per- sonnel note and track anyone accessing these to deter- mine potential security risk and the appropriate level of response. Dulce SubLevels 1-4 are accessible by person- nel with MJ1-MJ7 clearance, and all general access ele- vators list only such levels. SubLevels 5 and 6 are reached by separate elevator shafts, and personnel with MJ9-MJ11 clearance may access these elevators. Only individuals with MJ11 or MJ12 clearance may enter SubLevel 6.
Subdivision Breakdown
Operational Administration (OPAD): Ops Central
Command is overseen by OPAD, which conducts Dulce operations, instigates missions, and handles interde- partmental communications.
Through a complex internal systems network and a vast data storehouse, all information is entered, logged, and sorted, then copied and cross-linked to appropriate departments, personnel files, mission files, or research files. All data is compiled on layered crystal disks, capa- ble of storing more than 900 GB of data each. All OPAD personnel can requisition divisional records in order to plan missions effectively, but individuals requesting information must provide substantial proof and depart- mental authorization prior to access. All base opera- tions and NDD facilities are monitored on a 24-7 basis, and all structural improvements and maintenance are carefully logged.
Personnel: All information regarding each NDD opera-
tive is compiled in a personnel record. Commendations, sanctions, warnings, skills, training, and clearance data is contained in each operative’s file, along with information about previous military service, university or college his- tory, and potential security risks. Some divisions provide additional input as they see fit, such as evidence of lead- ership ability, particularly outstanding abilities, or con- cerns about fraternizing with non-NDD personnel. All personnel records are available to Directors and DDS personnel with appropriate authorization.
Budget and Planning (B&P): Annual budgets for seg-
ments of the NDD are prepared and cleared through B&P. With appropriate clearance, a line item’s allocated funding may be exceeded, but this is noted and refer- enced when preparing budgets for the next fiscal year. In keeping with the NDD’s need to be flexible, the B&P strives not to be an obstacle, but an aid. However, the subdivision does not tolerate abuses of funding. Defense contracts are no longer as lucrative as they once were, and there is noticeable competition for mainstream sci- entific and technological developments.
