Default Re: [Game] Work Up a Steampunk Setting

Forgive my breach of protocol by posting a question and immediately answering it, but it's a standing question and the first 2 groups have already been mentioned.

Question 46- Standing question on Adventurer Groups
What organisations, groups, agencies, departments, corporations or security forces have teams, units or detachments of 3-6 operatives, agents, investigators or representatives ready to solve problems, dive into adventure or trounce rump, or otherwise to execute diabolical plans of immoral purpose?

Answer 46a)
London Metropolitan Police Force's Informal Working Unit on Witchcraft

A group of noble dilettantes appointed to investigate cases of witchcraft as a public relations and political exercise, but who have actually discovered the real existence of witchcraft. Have now tasked themselves with dealing with it without seeming to deal with it.

Answer 46b)
Lydia Florence Watford's Academy of Mechanical Studies for Young Ladies

- front for the Kingfisher and her Black Manta flight crew and ground team
- mechanical laboratory producing small-scale high-tech weaponry, airship, optics and mechanical computing advances
- directs intelligence teams to uncover cases of mistreatment of labourers and criminal exploitation of the working class
- based in Wales and operating in the West Country, but looking further afield across Britain and her colonies

Answer 46c)
Sir Adrian's Discretionary Parties

Operating under the Chancellor of State for Foreign Affairs discretionary spending purse, sent around the globe to discretely deal with issues of delicacy or embarrassment for the Empire and to maintain her interests. Proto-spies in the 007 mould.
