Anomaly Exists Conservation Laboratory

Commonly known as AECL, Anomaly Lab A facility that observes, recovers, or analyzes entities known as "Anomalies" through interaction to study their utility to human society. Despite being a large-scale organization with branches worldwide, it is a top-secret group that allows zero leakage to the public world.

Staff

AECL staff possess skills to detect abnormalities. This refers to innate supernatural abilities or ability-granting devices derived from Anomalies.

Anomaly Discovery Team Discovers, recovers, or interacts with Anomalies. These are the so-called field workers. The team consists of active field agents and rear support.

Anomaly Analysis/Research Team Scientifically analyzes Anomalies and researches their conversion into technology usable by humans. Teams are subdivided by Anomaly type. Also simply called Researchers.

Anomaly Countermeasure Team A team authorized to bear arms to counter aggressive Anomalies. Members are selected from within the branch.

Social Maintenance Staff Staff who conceal abnormal existences and manage social perception. They perform information operations in the media to prevent the existence of Anomalies from being excessively publicized.

Technical Development Staff Based on research results, they develop ability-granting devices derived from Anomalies that humans can use safely.

ANOMALY

Abnormal existences or phenomena that cannot be explained by scientific laws, common sense, or existing theories. Refers to things beyond human intellect, such as apparitions, supernatural phenomena, abnormal objects, or organisms. Also includes special environments where daily life or physical laws do not apply.

• Phenomenon: Phenomena occurring under specific environments or conditions.
• Object: Substances with peculiar properties.
• Organism: General living things like insects or animals with special abilities.
• Humanoid: Entities with intelligence and autonomy equal to or greater than humans, possessing a physical appearance similar to humans.
• Area: Altered abnormal spaces.

Danger Levels

• E: Almost no danger.
• D: Extremely limited impact.
• C: Light impact in a narrow range, or Humanoid.
• B: Impacts a wide area, or shows clear aggression toward humans.
• A: Immediate and severe mental/physical impact just by being under its influence.
• EX: Failure to respond correctly will lead to the ruin of humanity or the world.
