In-Game Notes (Bureau)
This is a list of all found notes from Missions in The Bureau: XCOM Declassified
Groom Range, sub-level checkpoint
Director Frost,
It is with all due respect for you and the organization you represent that I compose this note imploring you to please reign in the actions of one Agent Angela Weaver, currently in your employ. The audacity of Agent Weaver’s actions of late can only be motivated by perplexing and utterly unfounded paranoia.
General Deems
Groom Range, sub-level Elerium lab
Memo To: Pvt. Launcce William Carter is not to leave quarters unless in the custody of Lt/ Garber-Paul. Photographic identification of both Garber-Paul and William Carter are included with this correspondence. These orders are of the highest priority.
Under no circumstances is anyone other than the courier himself to manipulate, manhandle, or in any way come into physical contact with the case trusted to his charge.
-Lt. Curr
Groom Range, war room check-in
General Deems,
Director Faulke has been nothing less than cagey as regards the findings of his team at the operation in Montana. The Director has flat-out ignored requests to deliver the apparatus uncovered in the Bannock mines to our laboratories here at Fort Groom. He claims to have secured the artifact at an undisclosed facility, the whereabouts of which are so highly classified that I can’t even verify the place even exists! Faulke is protected all the way up the chain, well beyond my pay-grade.
I’ve informed him repeatedly that the request to transfer the object comes down from you, sir, but he still refuses to acquiesce. I’ve done all I can, sir.

Elerium- Space Race Implications
Data Source: Test Series E-43 (12 shots total) Class: Sub-Terranean
As regards directing the funding for future Elerium-based research, I would petition General Deems and the rest of the board to consider the implications this material has on the exploration of Outer Space. Though it is impossible to discern whether this substance exists behind the Iron Curtain, prudence demands we assume it does. Lack of action in this arena will almost certainly see the Soviets extending the already embarrassing lead they’ve taken in the so-called Space Race.
I strongly urge the department to focus significant funding in this direction.
Sincerely, Dr. Feebaker

“Security Installations Almost Complete” Director Faulke
The closed-circuit security system has been installed in several of the facility’s main rooms as well as the corridors. This covers all major sections of the base and at your request, we have added a monitoring station in your office. The recording options have also been provided, but some of the crew have concerns about installing cameras in the living and hygiene quarters. I told them I understood, but with potential infected, we just can’t be too careful. You can expect all surveillance to be in place soon.

Ian,
Are the rumors true? Some of us have been shut away down here in the war room since the initial attack. Reports of the devastation have been bad enough, but can they really hide among us? How are we supposed to fight against that? Do we even know if this base in secure? Some of us have already been getting twitchy after long hours without seeing the sun. Rumors like this could lead to a riot.

To All Base Staff:
We apologize for the power fluctuations that are causing brown-outs throughout the facility. Engineers are working around the clock on bringing all necessary electrical subsystems up to speed, but the size of the project is taking a toll on our systems. We request your patience and restraint in unnecessary power use. Particularly, we request that Dr. Heinrich and his team in the research lab limit their power consumption. While I appreciate the gravity of the situation we’re in, along with the fact that we have never had to run at full capacity, continued power disruptions will cause unavoidable delays in production.

Dr. Heinrich
As per your request we are refitting the missile silo to house recovered elerium samples. Since we’re unsure what long term exposure to the substance may bring we are lining the silo walls with lead for extra protection. We should have this completed in conjunction with other improvements we are making to the lab. The missile that had been housed in the silo has been safely dismantled and stored. However, I simply cannot comply with the requests of Drs. Murphy and Scott, who requested it for “high-yield elerium delivery experiments.”
Perhaps you should talk to them about their independent studies.

July 19, 1963 Armory Staff
After last month’s weapon test incident we’ve installed and tested sprinklers in the firing range test area. We should not have another incident like the last one and frankly I don’t think the environment here can handle another fire. Please make sure all live fire tests are supervised as our target dummies are susceptible to fire.

Incident Report
Last week was the second time weapons crates were stacked in front of the Skyranger bay elevator. Only the quick-thinking of maintenance crew avoided injury during the expedited return of DaSilva’s team. While I understand our rush and the need to have fuel and ammunition readily available, it must be procured through the Requisition Officer in the Armory per normal channels. The Req. Officer needs to maintain an accurate count and service weapons that com back from the field. Proper procedures must be maintained if we are to fight orderly and effectively.
