Like many Infrastructure Departments, the DMSE&R tends to just get mentions in other missions. I believe there's an Agent from them in the Alumia exorcism, for instance, and I recall some from the macrovirus crisis. But there's no actual 'fics involving just them.

As to whether it would work? Well, it could, naturally. There is a tragic lack of actual Infrastructure stories (most are either an Action Agent visiting, an Inf Agent sent on an Action mission, or some sort of crisis -- the Intel reports may count as pure Inf stories, as well as Leto's General Store writings, and maybe the DIA stuff), and I've had various conversations about redressing that. Sadly, though, the life of a Finance Agent is dull and not worth writing about. DMSE&R, however, might be promising.

First off, you don't sound stupid. Don't worry about that.

I've looked at the wiki, but it's not too helpful. Stub article and all. I don't think there's much known about it.

Why not throw out a short, rough suggestion of such a lab journal and see what feedback we can give? It should help to balance.
