The Citizen Science Division
The Citizen Science Division (CSD) is a collective of individuals who were recruited by The Atlas Foundation via a series of puzzles and radio ads at the beginning of Project Waking Titan. The purpose of this division was said to be gathering a collective of individuals who could generate a chaotic environment viable to test Loop16's predictive capabilities in. All players of the ARG are addressed as part of the CSD.
