Not because they're going to fight aliens...

I'm trying to put together a story involving an agent from a MiB type organization that uses the Center for Disease Control as cover.

I've not had much success looking online for the answers, so I'm hoping that the DS community will be a better resource.

1. Is it illegal to not have fingerprints? I'm thinking of the primary way the agent goes about with ID is through retinal scan and various passcodes. Not having fingerprints leaves less evidence at a scene (yes I realize they can wear gloves and have the same results) and I'm also thinking that the agents will have no fingerprints as a base, but a set of fakes grafted as necessary.

2. In television and such, when I see cop/federal agent interaction its, "Hello, I'm Officer So-and-so, or Special Agent so-and-so from the FBI," etc. Is there some requirement that makes you have to identify yourself, giving your fullname, etc? Or can you get by with, "I'm Agent 1132 from the CDC, I have a few questions."


Basic overall premise, btw, is that while the CDC today doesn't have this kinda power, CDC of 2060+ is in a nice position. Its independent of UCAS and CAS, yet has authority to act in either. It would make a good staging point for intelligence gathering or as a "Threat". These agents that would go into the community, would be a little more aggressive and of a paramilitary mindset, as their duties now also include ferreting out toxics and insect spirits, and arranging their elimination. Kinda black ops, with specific targets.

I'm also basing my Genetic Augments (see other threads) out of this org. The shadoworg under the CDC is responsible in this case, for creating genetically enhanced agents, also loaded with bioware.

Any other questions or comments would be welcome. I'm trying to setup a well rounded organization that doesn't have too many gaps in the story.
