Mission Statement.

ASSPIL: OBJECTIVES (1924).

The Agency (ASSPIL), has been founded by the honourable Christopher Harkstein and his gentlemanly friend Dr Johnathon Brammer, in order to investigate and document creatures and occurrences which evidently stretch far beyond the realms of human understanding.
As a now funded branch of the Great British Government, The Agency intends to investigate such happenings throughout the Empire and beyond, using the latest Scientific tools known to man.
The Agency aims to prove the existence of unusual life forms and paranormal events to the general public and science itself. Documents and photographic evidence will be publicised following every investigation The Agency is involved in and we hope, in time, to be able to eradicate the horror of the unknown felt amongst this country's people and prove the existence of all abnormal life forms.

Mr C.Harkstein and Dr J.Harker.

ASSPIL: REVISED MISSION STATEMENT (1980).

The Agency for Supernatural, Spiritual and Paranormal Investigation and Location, has been reformed as an ultra sensitive Government Unit following the unfortunate events of 'The Reaping'.
The Agency still retains its desire to investigate the paranormal and obscure and scientifically examine the evidence accrued. In addition The Agency is also willing to take necessary force to protect the country from the potential threat of these horrors.
On discovery of new species, The Agency is willing to capture and maintain such creatures in a high tech facility, the location of which will remain a secret to even ASSPIL's top Agents. Once there is significant proof of existence a white paper will be published, proving beyond doubt, the existence of the paranormal.
