Yeah, I gotta agree about the major plot point thing. I think the reason some writers use this bad trope to begin with is because they fear it becoming a major plot point when they really don't want to take their story in that direction. In reality, they just don't know how to write it well enough for that not to happen.

IA? Internal... appraiser? Um, but no I get you. I think the reason they don't is because while the squad knows and covers their own ass the up tops and the people reviewing them who are sent by the up tops do not believe in the supernatural. Therefore you can't have someone cover for you who you can not only not influence because you don't pay them but have a vested interest in ruining you to the up tops who don't like you and don't believe or refuse to believe in the things you have to deal with. I'm not sure how you could turn one to your side and have that not get noticed by the up tops.

Internal Affairs.

I understand why they don't - convincing someone outside that you're not completely off your rocker, that this stuff really does happen would be all but impossible. Most books talk about how, even if you've experienced it yourself, you write it off as your mind playing tricks and rationalize it away. It's totally understandable that you wouldn't want to take the risk that you'd get carted off for something like that.

They do cover for themselves and each other, but there's only so much you can do when under review. I also know it's not likely to happen in ANY story because of all the complications, and how much rationalization it would take. I'm just saying it might help alleviate some of the pressure on the team/s that do deal with this stuff.

Yeah, I remember that part. He says it a few times and it makes sense.

...But yeah now I want that too and I hate you for making me think of it.
