"Hey, I believe you helped me before, could you do it again? You know my name and you probably know I'm still confused as hell." Dan asked Isabelle as he clambered aboard the jet and found himself a seat.
"Of course, I am happy to help a newcomer to the organisation." Isabelle said with a smile.
"So I'd like to ask you a few questions. What is DICE? What does it do? I'd like to know why I'm here too but I don't think you'd know that."
"Very well, its good to start off with the basic question; helps people find their bearings. First off, D.I.C.E stands for Demonic Intelligence, Communication & Execution. What the organization does is rather simple in explanation, but complex in its execution. Throughout the thousands of years of mankind's existence, there have always been demons to terrorize us. We have been fortunate enough to have slayers who are dedicated to the protection of humanity; people such as my family the Hearte's, and organization such as D.I.C.E are two such examples. We've being doing our jobs well enough, that the populace at large believe that demons don't exist, and in order to keep this secret, we ourselves don't technically exist in the eyes of the public; and we are also charged with acquiring any evidence that shows the existence of demons.
D.I.C.E is split up into seven different departments, each one tasked with a different objective in my, or a different means of demon slaying."
"Division Six is Science and Engineering; they are in charge of developing new weaponry, whilst also taking care of any supernatural beings that we happen to capture. Most stay in the lab, but a few a brave enough to go out on missions to help with collecting samples."
Division Five is Civilian Defence; they are what we refer to as the new recruits, put into this division to test the waters of their abilities, and to see if they can handle the task at hand.
"Division Four is Reconnaissance and Intelligence; these are the more low key members. If we think that demons are trying to manipulate their way into society either by possession or otherwise, these are the people we send in to scope out the situation. They also functions as secondary interrogators for humans who are helping the demons out in their plans for whatever reasons."
"Division Three is Military; A select few modern military personnel are recruited from around the globe to deal with problems when those with magic are off dealing with another crisis. And judging from the way you look, thats the division your in."
"Division Two is Might and Magic; We are the more traditional variant of demon slayers, the ones you would read about in fantasy books or play as in video games, who fight demons with swords and sorcery rather than fire arms. People from division three often see our methods as outdated, but they are still very much capable of handling the task. This is also the division that I am apart of." Isabelle then summoned a ball of ice between her hands, and causally began tossing it between her hands.
"Division One are the Elite Slayers; people who have been in the business for quite awhile, and are the most veteran of our organization. They can tackle wide scale infestations, those who have gone on countrywide campaigns for weeks and months at a time. These people come from all other divisions."
"Finally, there is Division Zero, what they do is not a matter for concern. Quite frankly we do not know who these people are or what purpose they serve. We don't often talk about them, if at all. We simply stay clear of them." Isabelle remarked in a hush tone, sounding slightly scared.
"Master is right, Division Zero are a dangerous bunch, you'd better stay clear of them." Vayle said, appearing next to Isabelle out of nowhere, this made Isabelle annoyed but also concerned.
"Vayle, thank you for showing your concern; but now is not the time." She soon turned back to Dan.
"Apologies for the interruption there, that was my assistant Vayle. Anyway, as to why you are here, you are correct in that I do not know. You would be better off asking one of the more senior heads of staff like Colonel Lin once we get back, he should be able to fill you in on the details. Any further questions? By the way, the name is Isabelle, case you were wondering."
