Whitebowler Agents
The incident with a rebellion-incited explosion yesterday caused five broken machines with an expected damage cost of at least 500.000. Other minor damages include a graffiti on the factory wall, four incapacitated workers, seventeen deceased workers, and the destruction of commander Freitau's favorite flint satchel. Commander Freitau is requesting an adequate replacement with the highest priority. In regards to the upcoming fiscal balance, the loss in the workforce is considered negligible.The Whitesteel Incorporated Detail for Security, Efficiency, and Tranquility - also known as the Whitebowler Agents due to their typical head garment and their affiliation with Whitesteel Inc, is an elite, private security detail employed by factory owners. Although employed by multiple corporations across Caramiza, they originally were guarding security standards for Whitesteel Inc. They are a highly specialized security detail, with capabilities in industrial espionage, counterintelligence, and tasked to root out the Steelbrethren rebellion. Their authority on the territories controlled by their employing company is vast. A Whitebowler agent is able to arrest and interrogate any worker based on the smallest infractions and they can recommend immediate termination of the worker. Depending on the level of their recommendation, the interpretation of "termination" can vary.
Development
They started out as a simple paramilitary detail to protect the factory grounds similar to a city guard. their ranks at that time were filled with mercenaries and former soldiers patrolling the grounds and keeping unauthorized personnel out. They usually were tasked with protecting the transport of goods as well. With the advent of quickly developing technologies and the introduction of the patent system in Caramiza, protecting the results of research and development from the curious eyes of competitors suddenly became essentially important. As a result, the Whitebowler Agents transformed into a unit of counterespionage and occasionally even active espionage in other companies. Due to the rising unrest among the workers, the Whitebowler Agents started to infiltrate the ranks of the rebellion. Their main goal was to root out members of the rebellion, feed them false information, and disrupt their actions as much as possible while sowing dissent within the group. When this often successful tactic by their employers became known, this further enraged the unhappy workers and the rebellion is now always on the verge of turning aggressively violent.
