Given the nature of their missions, it is imperative that Special Operatives be given a level of autonomy above that of a normal agent -- although they are cautioned to exercise that autonomy sparingly. Once back inside the confines of Section One, Special Operatives are subject to the same rules and punishments as all other agents. Coincidentally, these agents also usually possess certain personality traits that – while making them extraordinarily suited for special missions – also make them difficult to place among normal mission teams. Placed under too much restraint, these operatives become difficult to control, volatile, and ultimately can be a liability to any mission.
Only through deft handling have these agents been turned into an invaluable asset for the organization. And only their extraordinary skill sets have saved them from Abeyance status, or worse – a possible visit to the White Room.
