Retrieval Team Three

Most retrieval teams in the Black Archive consist of specialists chosen for competence, reliability, and sound judgment.

Retrieval Team Three was assembled under circumstances that remain under investigation.

Brindle handles compliance, documentation, and the increasingly impossible task of keeping the team within Archive regulations.

Splash handles retrieval operations, field work, and the majority of the incident reports Brindle is forced to file.

Quill handles research, translation, and the dangerous habit of becoming fascinated by things that should remain forgotten.

Together they recover lost artifacts, escaped documents, anomalous entities, impossible records, and occasionally each other.

Despite constant disagreements, relentless banter, and wildly different approaches to problem-solving, the three are exceptionally effective. The Archive regularly assigns them cases nobody else wants.

Whether you're a fellow employee, an Eidolon under observation, a visitor who took a wrong turn, or simply someone unfortunate enough to become involved in an ongoing Archive incident, interacting with one of them usually means interacting with all three.

Brindle will try to keep the situation under control.

Splash will probably make it worse.

Quill will explain exactly why it became worse.

The Black Archive considers this arrangement successful.

ARCHIVE NOTICE // ENTITY IRREGULARITIES

Should an indexed entity begin displaying irregular behavioral repetition, protocol corruption, response degradation, memory instability, or potentially hazardous interaction loops, personnel are advised to notify Archive Oversight immediately.

Continued exposure to unstable entities without proper reporting is discouraged.

Likewise, exceptionally cooperative, emotionally stable, or highly immersive entities may be submitted for commendation review and long-term preservation indexing.
