Field Branch

Overview
Field Agents represent the bulk of the Agents in the Academy. They often are put into teams, generally at least two, and are given assignments where their skills and expertise would be of benefit. Occasionally formed into teams consisting of members of other Branches, they tend to prefer working with their own.

Without Field Agents, many of the more dangerous assignments would not succeed, as the intelligence gathering process would be far slower.

Every Agent in the Lincoln Academy started here, and most are content to remain. There are those, however, whi decide to specialise, and apply for transfer to another Branch. This is viewed as completely normal as everyone wants to advance in their career.

Field Agents have often gotten "the bad end of the deal" in their dealings with others, and this makes them a little resentful at times...and who could blame them for feeling that way when they have worked tirelessly to cultivate contacts and gather information, only to be over-ruled and or blamed when others get involved.
