"Barring emergencies, I see no issue with you maintaining your patient list and schedule. Understand though that this task force takes priority."
He opened a drawer of his desk and pulled out a simple metal file folder and set it on his desk between them. Within were pages on pages of legal jargon, a long laundry list of legal definitions and laws where the task force would be entering grey areas. Insurance and contract forms that would need to be filled out. There would be nothing entirely unexpected, but some of it was less then pleasing for some to think about. Next of Kin forms in case of serious injury or death, a requirement for an updated Will to be left on file, even a list for whom may receive any earned medals in case of a member's death.
He sighed quietly and shook his head. "Terrorist; a person who uses terrorism in the pursuit of political aims. Although they are loathe to admit it, terrorist organizations often see themselves as victimized in some fashion, by some historical wrong-doing. Imagined or otherwise. People like Mr Gregory do not see themselves as victims. They see themselves as...better then the rest of us. Separated from humanity. A common misconception of sadists and the deranged."
"However, although their actions generally lack any political goal yet, and for that I am thankful, the acts of barbarism and horror of which they are capable easily lend themselves to the term to layman ears. And I shall use that to my advantage until such time as the existence of these people becomes common knowledge, and this task forces' true purpose may come to light."
The need for a force equiped and ready to deal with magic users could not be denied, at least by those who knew of the danger. And when that danger did come to light, having a model force in existence, one that he trusted would still take in the legal rights of those very magic users, would be desperately needed, and one that he would have no qualms in lending the building blocks to foreign powers, should the opportunity or need present itself. Surely other governments were aware and doing much the same thing.
