Today marked a big shift in my work life. I’ve officially been reassigned to the newly established Supernatural Archives Division. The move was a bit sudden, but I’ve known for a while that changes were coming. The Bureau has been talking about the need for a dedicated team to manage all the data we’ve collected over the years—there’s just too much information to handle casually anymore.
My new role is focused on organizing and analyzing the archives of supernatural abilities and the individuals who possess them. It’s a huge task, and honestly, it feels a bit overwhelming. The sheer volume of data is staggering—decades of reports, incident logs, psychological profiles, and detailed descriptions of abilities, all of it needing to be cataloged and made sense of.
I spent most of the day getting acquainted with the system. The archive room itself is massive, lined with shelves of physical files, but most of the work will be digital. The files aren’t just historical records; they’re living documents that need constant updating as we learn more. It’s fascinating to see how certain abilities have evolved over time and how patterns begin to emerge when you look at the data closely.
Part of my job will be to identify these patterns—seeing if there are any common threads among those with similar abilities, or if certain external factors might influence the manifestation of powers. There’s also a lot of work to be done in cross-referencing incidents and abilities, which could help in predicting and preventing future problems.
What struck me today was just how much we still don’t know. Even with all the data we’ve gathered, there are still so many unanswered questions. The archives are full of mysteries—abilities that defy explanation, individuals who vanished without a trace, and powers that seem to break all known rules. I’m excited about the challenge, but also a little daunted by it. It’s clear that this is going to be a long-term project, with no easy answers.
After work, I felt a strange mix of excitement and nervousness. This new role is so different from what I’ve been doing, but it also feels like an opportunity to really dig deep into the core of what we’re dealing with. The more we understand, the better we can manage the complexities of this world we’re a part of.
Tonight, I’m trying to process everything. There’s a lot to learn and a lot to do, but I’m ready to dive in. This could be the start of something important, a way to bring more structure and clarity to the work we do. For now, though, I’m just trying to get my head around the sheer scale of it all. Tomorrow, I’ll start tackling the first set of files. One step at a time.
