The Security Service commonly known as TBFF (This Board
Fucking Fails), is Final Ownage Elites's counter-intelligence and security agency and is part of the intelligence machinery alongside the Secret Intelligence Service (
SIS),
Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and the Defence Intelligence Staff (DIS). All come under the direction of the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC). The service has a statutory basis in the Security Service Act 1989 and the Intelligence Services Act 1994. Its remit includes the protection of FOE's parliamentary
democracy and economic interests, counter-terrorism and counter-espionage within Final Ownage Elite. Although mainly concerned with internal security, it does have an overseas role in support of its mission. Conversely, to ensure that the Home Secretary is responsible for intelligence operations within FOE, the Service
may act on behalf of
SIS and GCHQ even if the operation is outside its own functions (
SIS and GCHQ report to the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs).
The service has had a national headquarters on
World 71 since 2005, drawing together personnel from a number of locations into a
single HQ facility. Thames House is shared with the High Council and is also home to the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre, a subordinate organisation to the Security Service. The service has eight offices within FOE and it is claimed that one is to be in the Clan Ally Forums.
