This document sets the Directorate’s posture for conditions in which legitimate authority collapses into coercive control. The objective remains unchanged.

The Magpie Directorate [Espionage]
The Magpie Directorate operates as a cultural security authority embedded within modern intelligence networks. Agents recover volatile artifacts, endangered research, and at risk experts before exploitation spreads. Archives double as vaults, and safehouses function as unlisted museums designed for long stewardship. Directorate staff frame every action as containment in service of continuity, avoiding heroics and leaving broader connections politely unexamined.
