[Unofficial] CHERUB Campus

Waterloo

"In an ever growing world where the crime rate in persistently increasing, how can you be sure that you’re safe?”

Officially, all CHERUB pupils are referred to as CHERUB Agents, even if they are not yet qualified for missions. Unofficially, most people on campus call them cherubs.

A terrorist doesn’t let strangers in her flat because they might be undercover police or intelligence agents, but her children bring their mates home and they run all over the place.

The terrorist doesn’t know that a kid has bugged every room in her house, cloned the hard drive on her PC, and copied all the numbers in her phone book. The kid works for CHERUB.

CHERUB is not James Bond. There are no master criminals or high-tech gadgets. CHERUB kids live in the real world. They slip under adult radar and get information that sends criminals and terrorists to jail.

The founder of CHERUB, Charles Henderson, was born in 1907. Henderson joined British Naval Intelligence in 1934 and worked undercover in France throughout World War Two. His early experience in occupied France convinced Henderson of the value of children as intelligence agents. When he returned to Britain Henderson had a tough job convincing his superiors, but was eventually allowed to set up an experimental unit. The unit's official title was Espionage Research Unit B, but his agents were more commonly known as Henderson's Boys. They worked undercover in Nazi occupied France from the invasion in June 1940 until the liberation of Paris in August 1944. Despite the name, at least one of Henderson's 'boys' is thought to have been female. Unfortunately, Charles Henderson did not live to see the CHERUB organization thrive. He was murdered by his wife Joan in 1946.

All CHERUB's are based at a “Campus”. The location of this Campus will remain secret even to the agents, and they shall be drugged and put into a van (sounds a lot like kidnap) before exiting the campus. See the following part for more information.

1941

At the time, the site was just an abandoned village, next to a large military training area.
Henderson's Boys lived and studied in an old school building, while Henderson and his family lived in a cottage next door (see map). Training took place in a boggy wooded area, next to large lakes that were drained a few years later to create aircraft runways.

1965

By the sixties, CHERUB campus was beginning to grow. An admin building was constructed adjacent to the old school now the education building), as well as a new gymnasium for indoor training.

At this time, large areas of the present CHERUB campus were out of bounds due to 1000s of unexploded artillery shells and bullets used by American soldiers training for the invasion of France.

Many CHERUB agents and staff lived, worked and trained in cramped prefabricated Nissen huts built in the mid-1940s. This uncomfortable situation continued until the main building was constructed in the 1970s.

The two runways, aircraft hangar and control tower were built for use by the United States Air Force in the run up to the D-Day invasion, while the firing range was taken over by the US Army Artillery Service. This airfield was in use for less than six months and by the 1960s these buildings had fallen into disuse.

1985

By 1985, CHERUB campus had taken on its present layout and was penned on all sides by a high security brick perimeter.

The main building, fountain and a new entry gate were completed in 1978 and opened by Queen Elizabeth, on her only visit to CHERUB campus. One year later the athletics track was completed, with a secure nuclear bunker beneath it.

The aircraft hangar was refurbished in the late 1960s and used for martial arts training and target shooting, while the indoor swimming and diving complex is shown here under construction.

British Army engineers took more than 18 months to remove unexploded shells from the old artillery firing range. This enabled the construction of a proper basic training compound on the far side of campus. Despite this, unexploded shells still occasionally surface in the remotest parts of campus after heavy rain.

The latest constructions on CHERUB campus are the technical department (1996), martial arts training dojo (2001), the medical center (2002) and a new mission control building (2005). In 2008, the campus library opened its doors.

These are unlikely to be the last changes on CHERUB campus. In 2011 work will begin on a new ‘Campus Village’ situated in the area between mission preparation and the cricket field. This will provide living quarters for all CHERUB agents.

When the village is complete, the main building will be modernized to become a state of the art administration and education building, a new annexe will be built to house CHERUB staff and the elderly education building and gymnasium will be demolished.

Work is scheduled to be completed in time for Campus’ 75th Anniversary, this year.

The basic training is a rigorous one hundred day survival test in which CHERUB agents will have to test their might against natural catastrophes and hunger, as they survive in different environments and apply everything they would’ve been taught by our educators from MI5 during their early years at CHERUB. The principle behind the training program is that once you’ve been through it, you won’t be scared of anything else.

This stage is PRIMARY to becoming a CHERUB agent, and will have to be done over and over again until passed.

The ranks are actually different T-Shirt “groups” that are defined by their T-Shirt color. T-Shirts are rewards given after a few (or one) particularly successful mission. Wearing these shirts OUTSIDE campus is strictly forbidden, as it could compromise our identity.
Below, is a list of the T-Shirts in ascending order.

Spoiler :

This is the name given to a guest at CHERUB campus on account of the high visibility orange t-shirt they are required to wear. This shirt is designed to warn people that they are in the presence of someone who might not have full security clearance and may not be aware of what CHERUB does.

A CHERUB agent who talks to an orange shirt without authorization from the Chairman can expect to be severely punished.

Children who live on CHERUB campus but are too young to enter basic training and qualify as agents.

An agent earns the grey shirt if they make it through training and qualify as an agent, but has not yet performed an outstanding performance on a mission.

The navy t-shirt is awarded for outstanding performance on a single mission.

Term for a CHERUB agent who is entitled to wear the black T-shirt. This is awarded for outstanding performance over a number of missions. Only 50% of Cherubs can expect to receive one before they retire.

Cherubs work undercover posing as normal children and therefore rarely use weapons such as knives or guns. However, they frequently go on missions where the people they investigate are armed and dangerous. All CHERUB agents are trained to disarm people and are taught how to use and disable the most common types of firearms.
Where a cherub is put in a situation where they are at high risk of being assaulted, they are occasionally issued with a non-lethal weapon, such as pepper spray or an electric stun gun (Taser). Agents are only allowed to use them in a critical situation where their life is in danger.
The use of such a weapon is likely to be regarded as highly suspicious behavior for a child and the undercover mission will likely be terminated.

In Great Britain, illegal drugs are split into three categories, known as Class A, B or C, with Class A being the most dangerous.

Class A Drugs
These include cocaine, heroin, methadone, ecstasy and LSD.
Under NO circumstances should these drugs be consumed on a mission or even on campus, or you will face a lifetime suspension from missions, and sent to a foster home outside of CHERUB.

Class B Drugs
Include most amphetamines, magic mushrooms and cannabis.
If caught consumed, a one year suspension from missions as well as a punishment fit accordingly to the dose of drugs consumed.

Class C Drugs
Include steroids (Used by bodybuilders), sleeping pills such as valium.
If caught consumed, a one year suspension from missions as well as a punishment fit accordingly to the dose of drugs consumed.

All CHERUB agents are taught to drive. It is essential to be able to escape in a motor vehicle in a life threatening situation. There are three CHERUB driving courses:

Beginner

This short course is usually taught a few days after basic training, before a newly qualified cherub is sent on his/her first mission. It deals with basic car control. The standard of proficiency is broadly in line with the adult driving test, although there is less emphasis on parking manoeuvres and more on high speed and night driving. With smaller agents, it is sometimes necessary to delay the course until they are big enough to drive a car safely.

Intermediate

This two week intensive course is designed to make agents into confident drivers. Each agent will spend fifty hours behind the wheel, along with ten hours of classroom based tuition.

Advanced

A place on the advanced driving course is much sought after by CHERUB agents, but slots are reserved only for those agents about to embark on a mission where driving is essential rather than a tool for escaping in an emergency. Skills taught are similar to what you would find on a police driving course. They include controlled skidding, handbrake turns and high speed pursuit driving and navigation skills.

Normal Driving Test

CHERUB agents are allowed to take a regular driving test once they turn 17. After this, agents are allowed to use the pool cars on campus for personal trips. In return for this they are expected to drive younger agents when they need to go somewhere.

CHERUB agents need to meet strict criteria for physical fitness and intelligence. They are usually orphans who do not have surviving aunts, uncles or grandparents (Exceptions can be made where a surviving relative is serving a long prison sentence, mentally incapable or barred from contacting their children by legal mechanism such as a restraining order).

Finding children who meet all these criteria, while simultaneously not advertising the fact that you are looking for them, has been a problem throughout the history of CHERUB.

The organisation has a long standing aim to increase the number of CHERUB agents from the present level of 280 to around 400.

At the end of 2008 a new measure was introduced to help with the recruitment problem. For the first time, the children of retired agents who are single parents, or who are married to another retired CHERUB, can be admitted as agents if their parents allow it.

Recruitment tests are carried out when a prospective agent first arrives on CHERUB campus.

All potential CHERUB agents are rigorously vetted. Only candidates with a high probability of qualification will be brought to CHERUB campus under sedation.

There are two categories of tests when potential recruits arrive on campus:

(1) For recruits aged under 10.

Potential red shirts undergo a detailed medical examination which typically lasts around three hours.

Strength, endurance, coordination, speed and eyesight are among the systems tested.

After the physical tests, recruits aged 8 or older are usually asked to sit a written exam. The intelligence of younger recruits is gauged through informal observation and play.

(2) Recruits aged 10-12 years

Recruits aged 10+ are expected to enter basic training within a few months of arriving on campus. After a medical examination they undergo a day long series series of challenges designed to test mind and body to the absolute limit.

Any kid who breaks down during this testing is highly unlikely to be able to last 100 days of basic training.

Customization

Recruitment tests are designed to explore a candidate's known strengths and weakness.

For example, a candidate who is scared of heights may be asked to jump from the highest point of the obstacle course.

While lessons are many cherub’s least favourite aspect of life on campus, the staff take pride in the fact that every pupil receives an education worthy of a top fee-paying school, despite the frequent interruptions caused by missions.

Every cherub is given a personal curriculum and pupils work in small groups that are based on ability rather than age. After a long mission, cherubs are usually assigned a personal tutor who helps them to catch up on missed work.
GCSE and A-level exams are taken whenever pupils are deemed able, irrespective of age. Most cherubs leave with four or more A-levels and over ninety per-cent go on to university.

While the ethics committee exists to ensure that no cherub is placed in excessive danger, some risk is inherent in the nature of every undercover mission.

Four cherubs have died on missions. Jason Lennox and Johan Urminski in 1954, Katherine Field in 1967 and Thomas Webb in 1982. The fact that there have been no deaths for over twenty years reflects the close scrutiny the ethics committee now puts every CHERUB mission under before it is approved.
There have been a few serious injuries to CHERUB agents over the sixty years the organisation has been in existence. However, injuries are more common on training exercises on campus than on undercover missions themselves.

Every CHERUB mission must be approved by the Ethics Committee. There are five committee members, none of whom had any links with CHERUB before they took up their posts.

Three members review each mission. Any mission that they deem dangerous, too complicated, of limited value, or capable of being performed by an adult will be rejected.

The committee also lays down guidelines for agents' behaviour. They allow agents to quit a mission at any point without being punished.
They also set rules on the levels of permitted criminal behaviour and what to do with the proceeds of crime. There may also be specific rules set for individual missions.

CHERUB agents are usually recruited between the ages of six and twelve years old. Occasional exceptions to this rule are made, usually where a prospective recruit has a younger sibling aged four or five.

[Image: g9JuhEt.png]

Most CHERUB agents retire at age seventeen or eighteen. Some who grow up quickly and look older than their years may retire earlier. A few, who have been assigned to an unexpectedly lengthy mission, have served until they are nineteen or twenty years of age.

Retired CHERUB agents are strongly discouraged from entering the intelligence service or police force, as there is a chance that these jobs may bring them into contact with criminals they came into contact with when working undercover for CHERUB.
