Government and heroic organizations
PRT
The department was headed by Director Alfred Carr, who was accused of staging cape fights, leading to further allegations of collusion with villainous gangs and backroom dealings, circumventing usual PRT channels for income and pocketing proceeds for himself.<ref>► America News: PRT Corruption in Baltimore
Allegations against PRT Director Alfred Carr have borne fruit. After initial allegations of staged cape fights came up, a flood of further details arose, suggesting collusion with villainous gangs and backroom dealing, circumventing usual PRT channels for income and pocketing proceeds for himself. This series of revelations comes when public opinion regarding the PRT is already low, and assurances that the department will be restructured have done little to placate critics of the government-funded parahuman management organization... - Department Sixty Four, PRT Quest thread ii p66</ref>

You have to understand, we’re not established, we’ve had two minor wins and one ‘loss’, if we’re talking about the scale of the crimes, the train robbery, the Bratva at the docks, and the factory robbery where we apprehended Dredge.
