DELPHI

First seen in Lunch Hour In Lawndale, DELPHI is a covert United States organization that acts as the aegis for several programs that fall under its operational jurisdiction, which appears to be the use of cutting-edge technology and metahuman assets for various purposes as directed by select parts of the U.S. military and intelligence communities. The primary focus of DELPHI appears to be the collection of information from any and all known sources, the examination of such information to assess any possible threat to United States interests and the creation of any necessary countermeasures to those threats,primarily through the use of technology and 'specialized human assets'. The agency's motto is 'Forewarned is forearmed.'

There are several programs and agencies involved with DELPHI. Known operations and agencies beneath the DELPHI aegis include:

• D.O.M.A.: The Department of Magical Affairs. Actually considered seperate from the rest of DELPHI operations, D.O.M.A. is responsible for action as a liasion agency with what is known as 'the Wizarding World', as well as enforcing all laws applicable to U.S. citizens who fall into that category. D.O.M.A. has several branches, foremost of which is the 'Bureau of Spell Registry' (also known as the 'First Registry' in public.) 'First Registry' Special Agents are, for purposes of departimental stratification, listed and considered as FBI Special Agents; they identify themselves with the designation 'FBI - First Registry.' See full entry - First Registry.

• P.O.G.O.: Short for Paranormal Oriented Global Operations, P.O.G.O. teams are six- to fifteen-man special units that are deployed around the globe as needed, with the primary focus being on extended-duration reconnaisance missions in hostile areas. All P.O.G.O. troopers are equipped with advanced mil-spec tactical, surveillance and communications gear, and most (over 75%) have metahuman abilities. The motto of the P.O.G.O. Groups is 'We observe and strike in silence'.

• Project Fast Forward: The research arm of DELPHI.

• Project Nightbreed: An ultra-secret program within Project Fast Forward dedicated to locating and/or creating and the active deployment (within various government and military groups) of specialized enhanced humans or metahumans specifically designed for small-unit combat operations.

• SABRE: A select group of U.S. military personnel, taken from all seven branches of the military, Short for Special Activities Battalion/Response/Extranormal.

• Special Assignments Division: Essentially a real-life version of the Impossible Missions Force. Operatives are given specific assignments considered of vital and immediate importance to DELPHI.

• Special Assignments Oversight Committee (U.S. Department of Defense): The 'public face' of the organization, and (in full) the administrative arm of DELPHI.
