Most GRAIL agents are not government employees in the traditional sense, but rather ordinary researchers working temporarily in exchange for grants and travel opportunities. Higher-ups tend to be ex-military, while some are transfers from other intelligence departments. How does your character fit into this organisation, and did they apply for their position or were they scouted for it specially?

Many GRAIL employees are eager to be part of such a prestigious department, especially when it involves leading the world in ground-breaking research, and they are grateful to have their work both publicised and fully financed. Others, however, view their ties to the organisation as an unnecessary restriction that could interfere with their work. Where does your character sit on this spectrum?

Do they have strong opinions about it, or is it something that they don't consciously think about? Does it offer them a sense of belonging, alienation, or something more complicated?
