About the Bureau

SECTION 01 · ABOUT
Mandate

Jurisdiction

Things that should not exist: geological anomalies, engineering anomalies, signal anomalies, biological anomalies, cross-civilizational coincidences, and lost technologies. Any incident that cannot be fully contained within the current scientific framework falls under review.

History

Date of Founding

Unclear. One archive references the twelfth year of the Republican era. The bureau's own history remains one of the largest mysteries in its index.

Structure

Personnel System

Personnel on record use codenames only. The bureau organizes teams through the Twenty-Eight Mansions system: the Azure Dragon field unit, the Vermilion Bird folklore unit, the White Tiger technical unit, and the Black Tortoise internal unit.

Classification

Institutional Overview

Approximately ██% is public. Roughly ███% may be inferred. The remaining ██████ - even the bureau itself has ████████.

Archival Working Principles (excerpt)
Every record admitted by this bureau must satisfy the following: first, statements of fact must be independently verifiable; second, multiple sources must be cross-compared; third, a record is not dismissed for lack of a single decisive proof, nor is correlation presumed merely because several coincidences align. A file is not itself a conclusion.
