[UA] Government presence in the UA

[Royal Minister of Stuff]

I'd go so far as to say there are probably small
groups of government employess who Know a Thing or
Two.  Maybe there's even some extra-legal stuff going
on, too, but nothing major.  It might seem like some
heavy-hitting conspiracy, but that's just because
cabals located within the government have access to
some pretty vast resources.  The same could be said
for a group of adepts spread around a multinational
corporation.  

Now, I figure the Komitet for Government Security (or
what's left of it) has a lot better handle on the
whole magick scene than the US Government.  If you
wanted to, you might even be able to work up a whole
game based around some plot that started with the
discovery of some magickal school in the 1940s and got
spread around into various  smoke-filled rooms via
Project PAPERCLIP and Soviet research into
parapsychology.  Through in Georgian Gangsters and you
have a pot of trouble just ready to boil over (all
centering around, maybe a diskette or a dumb kid who
just happens to have picked up the exclusively
governmental school of magick.  Maybe you could tool
up something called Bureaumancy.)
