The dark arm of the government, BuRe-loc is the most visible, most pervasive, and most common of the pursuit forces arrayed against the children of tomorrow.
The first of the CEP’s creations, the Bureau of Relocation was established as part of the Department of Health and Human Resources. Of course, the “resources” that they were designed to relocate were squatters and indigents who had set up life where the corporations wanted to build. This federal bureau would sweep in and round up any and all, shipping them off to internment camps for “Vocational Training,” i.e. unpaid work gangs. With the coming of the Carbon Plague, BuReloc has been given a new set of targets: the Evolved.
They are not the most powerful (that honor perhaps belongs with Arasaka), nor are they the most motivated (that goes to the Guerrillas), but they are everywhere, and their resources are effectively limitless. They also have the advantage of being THE law, which few of the other forces can truly stake claim to. BuReloc’s attitude is that the children are dangerous and, for the public safety, must be eliminated as menaces. Publicly, this means removing them from public life and quarantining them. It just happens that in real life the infected children are quarantined in a crematorium.
BuReloc’s approach is founded on the landmark case of Stoe v. Nevada, wherein those with infectious diseases were found to be in violation of the civil rights of future victims. In other words, whereas before a person with an infectious disease could be charged with attempted murder for deliberately infecting someone, they could now be charged with negligent homicide just for walking the street where others could pick up their disease. (This, in turn, led to the so-called Three Strikes Law where proven incorrigibles could be summarily executed to prevent potential assaults on future victims, but most kids don’t evade the grasp of BuReloc enough for this to be a consideration.)
BuReloc’s goal is to capture as many infected children as possible as quickly as possible, and export them to quarantine centers. Their tools are speed, surprise, fear, and the backing of the Incorporated States government. They are ruthless, efficient and remorseless.
BuReloc prefers to capture kids alive, because it makes them look less bad, but if a kid puts up enough fight, they are legally empowered to kill the kid under the above-cited laws and associated statutes. Similarly, BuReloc can pacify (‘gun down’ has such ugly connotations) anyone who interferes with the execution of their duties— all for the public good, of course. BuReloc’s goals are simply the elimination of the threat. They take the kids, consolidate them in one place, and kill them all. They have no pity, no remorse, and no reason to think other than what they are doing will be the salvation of the uninfected children of the planet. The BuReloc personnel are thoroughly indoctrinated and brainwashed, and have regular psychological exams to ensure that their personal feelings remain in line with official doctrine. Part of this psychology is to make them feel that they have a special understanding of the situation, that the general public simply can’t see that what they are doing is right. This gives the BuReloc personnel the camaraderie of the maligned savior, which keeps their ranks close and their people loyal to the cause.
This doesn’t mean that they don’t feel for the kids, it’s just that they consider the state of actual infection to be too late for the children themselves. They consider the kids to be unfortunate victims, the walking dead, who, if allowed to live, would only infect others and bring them to their terrible state. BuReloc doesn’t tell its front-line troopers that kids can survive the Carbon Plague; that would be bad for morale.
