Ministry

The Ministry operates as the UK government's central authority for managing domestic crises, including quarantine enforcement and epidemic response. It issues directives to military leaders like the Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart and oversees coordination with research facilities. Figures such as Edward Masters represent its interests, prompting accusations of internal rivalries from scientists like Doctor Lawrence. Protocol-bound and hierarchical, the Ministry prioritizes centralized control and official reporting channels during threats to public safety.
