Getting it turned into a multi-squad thing works fine for me. That will also add a little mystery, because it probably starts out relatively routine, so why it devolved. Umm... I'd be cool with having the Organization connected to the butchering if and only if there is a very sound reason for it. Not necessarily good, but sound. Something more than corruption. It is something... I'd be open to, although I'd rather not make it key. If you know what I mean. Either way, if we are going to follow that, I'd like to know what and why before we start. Because it will directly connect to whatever the strangeness is. The same with the adoption thing. I find the feasibility of that rather limited, because I can't help but imagine that the people who work for the Organization don't exactly get "weekends off." I also imagine that they would highly frown upon having a child in the base of the Organization. In all honesty, I really only threw out that idea because I know you liked the idea of the half day and night children. It isn't one of my favorite ideas. Lets put that one on hold, and once we get a little further into the story we can re-open it for discussion. By that point I will know both the world and the characters a little better, and my decision will be easier. I could see the traditional families sending children to be in the Organization, but I wouldn't say that they are the majority of the workers. After all, there aren't that many rich people in the world, there simply can't be, and the Organization kind of needs to be everywhere at once. Which means they either need really powerful workers or a large number of workers. My guess is that they would go for both. And only a small portion of the available families can't fill that. I'm certainly happy to have that be a part of things, and I could see one supposedly "elite" force entirely comprised of those kinds of people, but I also think there are enough people who would join the Organization for other reasons. Money, protection, a chance to have a position of authority, or simply the foresight to see that the Organization my really be a necessary and good thing.
