Location
F.A.T.E.'s Sacramento Office is located on the top floor of the administration wing within the Sacramento Valley Rail Transit Headquarters at the corner of I Street and 4th Street near downtown Sacramento. The office location provides immediate access to the area's Rail Transit System and is within close proximity to Highway 5 and the Azevedo River. The Sacramento office has the largest territory of any of the F.A.T.E. offices according to land mass due to the area's broad spanning agricultural fields, this makes transportation an especially important aspect of their job. Additionally the Sacramento branch receives notably more oversight from its connected investors and government budget committee as a result of being located in the California Free State capitol. With having a more visible office location and closer watch on their activities the Sacramento branch is known to keep the lowest profile among F.A.T.E. offices.
Headquarters
F.A.T.E. Sacramento's office is located on the top floor of the administration wing of the Sacramento Valley Rail Transit Headquarters in downtown Sacramento. Originally the office rented space from The Federal Reserve System, however as a result of a well executed mission the head of the Department of Transportation owed F.A.T.E. a major favor, J.P. and Barry capitalized on it and turned it into a new office space for F.A.T.E. The new office location provides unparalleled access to the cities top transportation systems, which assists F.A.T.E. in quickly responding and dispatching for time sensitive missions. This is especially important with Sacramento's need to respond to emergencies on the edges of corporate owned agricultural property which often stretches for endless miles.
The office is notably smaller and more discreet than the F.A.T.E. HQ in San Fransisco, which is critical in allowing it to hide in plain sight. The office's computer system can hardly be referred to as a command center, and has no full time staff to operate such a powerful computing set up if they had it. Instead their much smaller network is securely linked to the command center in San Fransisco if they should require additional commuting services. Their medical center and laboratory share a space approximately the size of SF's medical center, and is operated only by the field operatives with the technical skills to use it. When in need of an advanced lab they're forced to consult with Dr. Yau in San Fransisco.
They maintain a significantly smaller private garage with F.A.T.E. licensed vehicles that can be assessed from the office through a secure and private elevator. This allows them to to bring in and take out what they please without dealing with the security of Sac RT, though they typically keep things discreet. Members almost always use F.A.T.E. sedans when traveling by car, but the office does have it's own van for more intense missions.
Members
F.A.T.E. Sacramento currently has three full fledged members, along with the necessary office and security staff to deal with standard protocols and proper security. Their fourth member has recently been transfered to the San Fransisco branch, until it is decided if this is a permanent move his position remains vacant in Sacramento.
- Barry Stearns - A founding member of F.A.T.E. that acts as the head of the Sacramento Branch and de facto second in command of the organization.
- Desmond Sands - Is the most experienced field agent in F.A.T.E.'s Sacramento office.
Notable Mission Involvement
- Session 11: Shifting Sands & Session 12: Shifting Sands, Part II - F.A.T.E.'s San Francisco Office was dispatched to Los Angeles to retrieve the captured Desmond Sands. Desmond had been captured while undercover in LA, and without their most experienced field agent they lacked the manpower to complete the mission, so they called upon San Francisco to perform the rescue.
- Session 14: Behind the Dagger - F.A.T.E. Sacramento played only a small role in the operation, allowing F.A.T.E. San Francisco to complete the operation in Sacramento territory. This mission was not official sanctioned by F.A.T.E. and was carried out at the request of Gideon Wexler, former Sacramento and current San Francisco agent.
