ADAMS is an international military and scientific organization that was established after the awakening of the first demon. It is funded and supported by all the continental unions of the earth. ADAMS leads the war against demons, controls the Grigori Program, and has ownership of the supercomputer system known as Metatron. In the event of a demon attack ADAMS authority usurps any other local, national, and continental authority. ADAMS is one of the top employers of the world, employing thousands of people, and they are one of the few employers to give their employees consistent wages along with health and education benefits.<br/><br/>ADAMS Headquarters is located in First Haven, a city on the western side of Watcher's Island, previously known as Vancouver Island. The nation of Canada officially donated control of the whole island and its immediate air and naval space to ADAMS use. While ADAMS has significantly built and reconstructed the island, primarily for transportation ease, they have also left many of the island's temperate rainforests untouched. While ADAMS Headquarters sprawls above ground the most important facilities are located below ground. Command Central, the Grigori Units, the barracks for Grigori trainees and pilots, and the majority of Research and Development's labs are all below ground. ADAMS has numerous other branches scattered throughout the world, though these branches don't possess Grigori Units.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: courier;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;"><strong>ADAMS: Structure</strong></span></span><br/><br/>In order to efficiently and independently operate ADAMS is made up of numerous departments, each with their own divisions. Each department is led by a Director and each division is led by a Head or Commander.<br/><br/><strong>The Board of Representatives</strong>: Is made up of two representatives from each continental union. The elusive board oversees ADAMS operations and makes essential decisions when Metatron concludes that the active Tactical Commander, Administration Director, or the Departmental Council doesn’t possess the authority or insight to make them. The identity and location of representatives is kept a secret until their retirement. The presence of the board is primarily for plot purposes and to give OOC group decisions an IC justification.<br/><br/><strong>Administration</strong>: This department is tasked with the general organizing, coordinating, and control of ADAMS. It handles budget allocation, information technology, and human resource management. It assumes responsibility for the Grigori pilots and oversees their recruitment and training. Administration is also charged with the maintenance of Metatron. During a demon attack this department also assumes tactical control and has supreme authority over decisions made by ADAMS unless Metatron calls for a vote among the Departmental Council or the Board of Representatives.<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><span class="bbc_u">Tactical and Technical Operations</span>: Acts as mission control during missions. While this division is led by a Tactical Commander the authority and responsibility of the position rotates. There are a handful of Tactical Commanders and they work in shifts. Only one Tactical Commander is ever on active duty at a time and while on the clock they assume control the division and lead the missions the Grigori Units are involved in. Communication Specialists, Strategic Analysts, and Grigori Support Technicians work here to ensure everything runs smoothly. (If you're familiar with the mecha genre this division is basically full of bridge bunnies). </li><li><span class="bbc_u">Special Intelligence Operations</span>: Led by a Head. A small group that reports to and works directly under orders from the Administration Director. The work of this division is so highly classified information that even other department directors are unsure of their purpose. When a demon is killed this division is the first to begin inspection and dissection of the demon's corpse.</li><li><span class="bbc_u">The Grigori Program</span>: Led by a Head.</li><li><span class="bbc_u">Information Technology:</span> Led by a Head.</li><li><span class="bbc_u">Human Resources</span>: Led by a Head.</li><li><span class="bbc_u">Financial</span>: Led by a Head.</li></ul><br/><strong>Research and Development</strong>: The pride of ADAMS and the primary reason for the organization even existing. This department leads research on demon spawn and the demons. They create the Grigori with Metatron’s assistance and are also tasked with their maintenance, repairs, and upgrades.<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><span class="bbc_u">Research</span>: Led by a Head.</li><li><span class="bbc_u">Engineering</span>: Led by a Head.</li><li><span class="bbc_u">Programming</span>: Led by a Head.</li></ul><br/><strong>Medical Science and Healthcare</strong>: This department is tasked with traditional and emergency medical assistance and preventive healthcare for all ADAMS personnel. They also perform their own research and development into medicine and disease.<br/><br/><strong>Public Relations</strong>: They handle legal issues and media coverage of ADAMS. They organize publicity/charity/fundraising events, press releases, newsletters, and social media.<br/><br/><strong>Defense Forces</strong>: The military of ADAMS. Includes an army, navy, air force, and special operations. In the event of a demon attack these forces act as first response. They keep a demon's attention occupied until a Grigori unit arrives. Soldiers in the ADAMS Defense Force are usually honorably transferred into it from their Union's Defense Forces.<br/><br/><strong>Relief Guard</strong>: They provide protection, emergency aid, and resources to civilian populations until a Union's government and their Union Defense Force stabilize after a demon or spawn attack.
