Doctor Fero,

Firstly I should like to congratulate you and your team on yet another successful mission. Given the nature of this correspondence, I refuse to elaborate further, but just know I am well aware of the sacrifices your team has made for this country, and though I cannot publicly endorse or compensate you for your efforts, this country thanks you.

On to the nature of this letter, I felt it only fair to warn you about what the boys at Washington have cooked up for you. As you know, the Committee of Supernatural Affairs was created after the Roswell incident as a diversion from ACTUAL supernatural affairs and to dissuade the public from investigating and, potentially, disrupting your efforts.

I regret to inform you that the Senate has been pushed to dissolve the Committee due to a lack of ‘results’. Throughout the years the Committee has dedicated itself to doing absolutely nothing, for your sake, but now I fear there are only two outcomes.

One, someone in Washington grows a conscience and decides to go public with the actual details of supernatural and paranormal sightings, undoing the work that your team has performed alongside the DOD and DOHS. Which, invariably, will lead to mass panic and, likely, the disintegration of society as we know it.

The second, less likely and less dangerous outcome, is that Washington leaves the Committee dissolved, claims “heresy” and “superstition”, and keeps the American people at large in the dark about the going ons. Of course, this would not change much, given we’ve never truly made any attempts at transparency, but now that we live in the information era, and the fact that you would not have an entire subsection of Congress to help you erase evidence of your existence, it would create a tricky situation, your only options being to hire a genius-level hacker whose full time job would be to silence those who know too much, or we would have to completely outsource your team, sending you across the globe.

Given that Washington wishes to focus more on foreign than domestic affairs, I would say the second option would only make your job more difficult and leave you with an even bigger workload.

Please take into consideration these words, think carefully about your next course of action, and be prepared for a storm in case the Committee is dissolved.

Signed, Agatha Ives
