Watching out for the aliens they believe to be visiting us daily, the UFO enthusiats would be surprised to realize how many of their ideas are truth. Sometimes, one of the enthusiasts becomes a participant in things beyond their control; perhaps they pushed too far into secret things, or perhaps they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. In either case, Aegis can often find a use for these souls, as they are frequently easier to indoctrinate than their more skeptical brothers. After all, these are the folks who first decided that we were not alone. The enthusiasts are often used for tasks that would seem bizarre to other Aegis members; they are considered to be expendable by many senior members in the group, a fact which has not escaped the UFO agents.

Pulling Strings:

The Believers - There are a lot of people who actively believe in the paranormal, and the UFO enthusiasts have access to quite a bit of information and resources from this group. If an agent attempts to check her sources, on a Df1, a general overview of the commanly accepted facts to any paranormal event can be retrieved. At Df2, more restricted facts can be gathered; these contacts can inform the agent of interesting leads and possabilities to the situation at hand. Df3 enables reciept of the answers to three yes or no questions about the topic at hand. On a Df4, the agent can recieve a single inside source, who will provide additional information on the topic at the Referee's discretion. Add +1Df to any of these tasks for attempts to generate evidence or small, easily smuggled samples.

Crowd Control - Using this ability, the agent may leak information about a site to the Believers, causing a large crowd of UFO enthusiasts to gather around any site in the continental US within 1D days. Operations of any group in the area will be greatly disrupted, and secret groups will frequently be forced to change their operating area, or take action against the Believers. While this action will most likely not be violent, it will still attract unwanted attention to the area, and will further disrupt activities. The exact effects to the group 'crowded' are up to the Referee, but certainly penalties to security and perception rolls are likely, and the odds of a blunder or leak are also higher. This task is a Df3 for most sites, Df4 for highly classified or well hidden sites, and Df5 if the site is both well concealed and highly secure.
