The implicit assumption of prior DES material has been that all its agents are the original Weeds. We've never seen a DES agent who wasn't named Weed-[Number], other than the Captain himself.

But I don't believe it's ever been stated definitively that that is (and always will be) the case. It does mean that any prospective new additions would have to fit into a team that's been together for decades, which tends to be a difficult process.

On the Department of External Security... by SeaTurtle on 2017-01-07 14:57:00 UTC Reply

...I do note that the Wiki article mentions that all members of the Department are Flowers (that being the Security Dandelions and such) but what is the actual recruitment process (if any) for the Department?

I would assume that trusted and extremely competent agents might have a chance at fitting into DES' ranks since they would form the vanguard of Headquarters itself but without prior cases, I'm not sure if this would be too canon-breaking for the DES.
