Department of Mary Sue Experiments and Research

The Department of Mary Sue Experiments and Research is the department responsible for finding out how 'Sues work, and how to get rid of them. The DMSE&R also looks into 'Sue Genetics.

It is headed by the Thistle, and the lab manager is Helen Gale. Approximately 20 scientists work in the department. Currently the only two scientists who have recorded their labs are Lori Starrett and Bill Fallis.

At HQ the DMSE&R shares its lab space with the Medical Research Division. The labs are primarily located in a hallway behind the Medical Department. It consists of a "main lab", with other labs branching out from it. Some of them are soundproof (the reason for this is unknown), and all of them are painted a blinding shade of white. The main lab has a cathedral ceiling and many skylights for artifical sunlight to pour in.

Like Agents, Scientists are stationed in Response Centres, but their consoles act as information databases and alarm clocks. The typical scientist wears a spotless white (or at least all-over grey) lab coat with the DMSE&R or MRD flash patch on the left sleeve.

During the Macrovirus emergency the labs, and the Response Centers near by were quarantined until a cure could be found.
