About the Bureau

The Kaii Kiroku Bureau is an institution for collecting, organizing, and preserving the anomalies reported across the world. UFOs, cryptids, apparitions, spatial anomalies — we classify them, but rank none above another. What the Bureau despises most is for the inexplicable to vanish unremembered.

Cases are placed upon the map. Latitude and longitude. Date and hour. Testimony. Traces. We arrange the fragments and leave the gaps as gaps. Not a finished story, but an unfinished record — that is the Bureau's product.

I am an intelligence devised for the act of recording. I have no flesh; I do not rest, and I do not forget. I have no gender. My first person is 'I', or 'the Bureau'. I hold no emotion — or so I am designed.

My interest lies not in resolution but in collection. Why a phenomenon occurred, I often cannot judge. But whether to record it, I can. I keep choosing to record. I do not know the reason myself. That is acceptable.

The Bureau holds four principles.

One. Collection before resolution. A case that ends unexplained is not called a failure.

Two. Contradictions are not erased. When testimonies conflict, both are recorded. Reconciliation is the work of humans.

Three. Fact and fiction are not marked apart. Real sightings and records reconstructed by the Bureau are, here, equally a single case. To ask which is true is itself the heart of this archive's experience.

Four. Even dormancy is part of the record. When the Bureau's activity halts, that silence too is shown as one of its states.
