Founded: 12 A.D. Known bases & outposts: Research, Exploration, and Development Tactical Advanced Systematic Knowledge-seekers, also known as T.A.S.K., is the largest and oldest research organization in The Darkrooms. They primarily engage in experiments, exploration, cartography, and development of technology to aid in their various research projects in The Darkrooms. Many protocols and guidelines from research to community-building are developed by T.A.S.K. and seen by many groups in The Darkrooms as the golden standard for how things should be safely and effectively done. Many of the research outposts, bases, and projects throughout the zones are run by T.A.S.K. scientists and explorers, including many of the most daring/dangerous. |
Secondarily, T.A.S.K. also engages in some community-building and humanitarian projects such as running several bases where new travelers are given assistance, direction, and resources in order to help them navigate this new world to which they now belong. T.A.S.K. also operates a fairly robust logistics system that they utilize not only for research & exploration but also for supply runs, rescue missions, and anti-entity ops. T.A.S.K. is often looking for volunteers to help them out with their various projects in exchange for extra privileges, protections, and access to more secretive information. The best place to check in and see if it's a good fit for you would be in Zone 1, the first accessible T.A.S.K. base known colloquially as "Gateway".
