About the Covert Research & Analysis Program

The Origin of C.R.A.P.

The Covert Research & Analysis Program—C.R.A.P.—was never meant to exist. In fact, if you ask the right (or wrong) people, it still doesn’t. C.R.A.P. exists in the space between classified intelligence and plausible deniability, built to handle what no other agency could—without leaving a trace.

Some claim it was born during Cold War black budget operations. Others suggest it emerged during the early 2000s to handle threats no existing agency could be tied to. Its true origin is buried in layers of redacted files, burned documents, and silenced witnesses.

Structure & Operations

C.R.A.P. has no headquarters, no published leadership, and no official funding. It operates as a decentralized network—crossing military, intelligence, and private sectors—receiving orders from a shadowy group referred to only as The Committee. No agent knows who they are. No one is supposed to.

Orders are filtered through Tasking Units, who assign small, compartmentalized teams to carry out missions. If a mission is compromised, the fallout doesn’t reach the rest of the network. When a mission ends, all traces vanish—data is purged, evidence destroyed, and loose ends... resolved.

Recruitment & Training

No one applies to C.R.A.P. You don’t find it—it finds you. Recruits are identified for their skills, adaptability, or simply because they’ve seen too much. Some are pulled from elite agencies. Others from everyday life. All are expendable.

Training is ruthless, chaotic, and deliberately disorienting. Locations change constantly. Instructors remain anonymous. Trainees are pushed beyond breaking points—because in the field, there’s no one coming to save them.

The Unwritten Rules

• 1. You do not exist. Your past is erased. Your future is irrelevant.
• 2. You do not ask questions. If you need to know, you’ll be told.
• 3. You do not fail. Exposure means consequences—permanent ones.
• 4. You do not retire. You leave only when permitted.
• 5. You do not talk. Silence is survival. Speak, and you disappear.

The Ghosts of C.R.A.P.

No one knows how many have served—or how many still do. Some disappear. Some are erased. Others blend into civilian life under watchful eyes. Rumors and conspiracy theories surface occasionally, only to be dismissed and buried again.

There are no medals, no honors, no graves. Those who die in service are forgotten. Those who survive are haunted. For agents, C.R.A.P. isn’t a career. It’s a reality—one lived until the end, whatever form that may take.
