Department of Action

The Department of Action, originally known as the Department of Exploration, was one of the original departments of the Organisation. It was ultimately broken up into the many Action departments.

Department of Exploration
The Department of Exploration was founded simultaneously with the Organisation. As one of the original three departments (alongside Infrastructure and Admin) it was created with a Deputy in charge - Captain Dandy.

The Department of Exploration was virtually synonymous with the Weeds; its only known non-Weed member is the Queen Anne's Lace, as Head of Communications. Its members were responsible for exploring the plotholes stabilised by Hornbeam's technicians.

Department of Action
Following the restructuring of the Organisation into the Protectors of the Plot Continuum, the Department of Exploration was renamed as the Department of Action. It was still headed by Captain Dandy until the Cascade led to the Weeds departing HQ in an attempt to map and constrain the plothole network. The role of Deputy for Action passed to the Poppy.

The Department of Action's purpose was to combat rogue plothole generators - Mary Sues, bad slash, implausible crossovers and the like.

Successor Departments
The Department of Action has many successor Action Departments.
