Breach

A breach is the moment a person with an attribute reveals their ability to an unattributed person, such as when Reggie reveals her regeneration to her friend. It is the job of the Federal Attribute Committee to handle breach cases. Agent Fukuda is one such agent, working in Chicago and assigned to Reggie's and later Kalo's breach. The Croft Center for the Attributed is a facility that seems to arrest and process people after their breach. Each resident is given a "breach number" which they are then known in order to protect their identity.

When Kalo arrives at Croft, he is given the following information about attributes:

"A breach is defined as any instance where an attribute is displayed in such a way that a non-attributed person witnesses it and becomes aware of the existence of attributes. Sometimes a breach incident also involves damage to people or surroundings.

Your local FAC office's Breach Department monitors their precinct for impending or occurring breaches. This is done with the use of premonitions, psychic readings, and patrols.

If a breach occurs, the FAC investigates the situation. All non-attributed witnesses are located and questioned about the incident. When sufficient information is collected, the breach is then removed from their memory. The memory is replaced with a new one to explain any lasting effects of the breach. The offender is then arrested and taken to a breach facility for rehabitation.

Example: Out of spite, Jan uses her electrokinesis to short out all her non-attributed neighbor's electrical appliances. A psychic in the Breach Department sense the incident and arrives on scene to investigate. The psychic questions the neighbor, who recalls strange sparks coming off Jan just before all the lights popped. The neighbor is now fearful of her. [the rest is illegible]"
