Every now and then, things crop up that the government would rather deny. Dark secrets and super-natural entities; angels, aliens, wizards and lord knows what else. When these things need to be dealt with the people at the top call upon Option 4.
The president paced behind his desk, hard lines wrinkled across his face.
"Mr. President. There are 3 options: We try to ignore them, we let the public know and try to integrate them or we bring in the military. If we ignore them they won't go away, the people just aren't ready for something like this and our military hasn't been trained to handle this."
From his position in the corner the general spoke, "What if there was a fourth option?"
An elite group trained for versatility, Option 4 does the missions no one else can. As of now, they're recruiting.

“Yes, but she’s not exactly subtle, sir.”
“I’m sure she’ll be fine. Put the paperwork through. I want her nabbed, briefed and promoted to commander by Monday.”
“Yes sir, she’ll be here.”
Description: Anne stands a lofty 5’9” tall, her figure slim, but as tough and lean as only a life of combat can bring. Her often stern face is free of make-up, but one might see a glimmer of beauty shine through; though it may just be the faint glow of the strange tattoos that can be seen on her face as she does something you may regret.
