The Agency
The Agency is the Earth-based organization that ties into, and operates, Division One. A loose organization existed prior to First Contact, and with the formalization of Earth as a signatory of the Sydys Concordat and the backing of the Pan-Galactic Coalition, the organization was able to tighten its structure and grow. It is now a smoothly-operating worldwide organization...that no one outside it on Earth knows about.

Includes the consumables provision for the on-site agent quarters; agents log into a centralized system to place orders, and Supplies assigns each agent to a specific delivery agent, who then gathers the requested items and delivers them to the appropriate quarters, including putting away the items for the ordering agent.
For new agents, a designated Supplies team goes to the new agent's former dwelling and records the preferences of the new agent, then returns to the facility to which the new agent is assigned and ensures the desired items are in inventory, loading them into the new agent's quarters as soon as the quarters are assigned.
An inportant subset of Supplies is the Wardrobe section. This is then further subdivided into the Personal Wardrobe branch, the Duty Suit branch, and the Laundry branch. The Laundry branch also has a team dedicated to mends and repairs. These branches ensure that all agents are duly attired per regulations, whether on or off duty.
