Well this is my fic. Just a short chapter to see if you like it, if so review. This chapter is just to introduce a few thing about the AMASA . We'll learn more about Tam later.

Twenty or so young people shuffled nervously, pulling on the collars of their new polo shirts and taking quietly to each other. Tam breathed deeply almost most shaking with anticipation.

Ever since she had been a teenager she had dreamt of the chance to become one of the elite working at the AMSA. And now her dream had come true.

All the new recruits were jammed into the small room, waiting to be introduced to the AMSA. The only person who looked totally at ease was a brown haired woman sitting with her feet on a desk. She looked no older then 25 and she was smiling happily surveying the many nervous people in front of her. She threw a meaningful look to the back of the room.

The room went black and a video began to play. A monotone voice issued from the speakers and the new recruits began furiously taking note in the semi darkness. A mechanical voice issued from the ceiling.

"Welcome to the Anti-Mary-Sue Agency or the AMSA for short. We exist to find, capture, assimilate and release Mary-sues.

This sector of the AMSA is The Lord of the Rings sector and one of the most seriously affected by Mary-Sues. We… we...we...we...we..."

The voice stuttered and then stopped abruptly and the lights flicked back on. The woman sitting at the back of the room cursed softly then stood up and surveyed her new students with interest. " Welcome," she said her voice half breathless half stern. "To the AMSA. My name is Sandra and I am in charge of you. You are here because you are the best geeks, Tolkien lovers and Mary Sue haters in the country." Sandra's voice shook with pride. " While you are her you will learn about the many guises of Mary Sues. But the first thing to remember my class," she paused looking around again " Is that not every Mary Sue is a lost cause. Secondly, while we exist to eradicate all of these foul creatures from Arda we also need to remove any other misplaced persons from Middle Earth. This job is essential to the very survival of Arda!"

Her voice had risen to a shout and many of the new students lent back in fear. Sandra laughed, then clapped her hands. " Well class copy down this notes and we will tour the premises." Tam stared at Sandra in admiration. She seemed so at ease, yet at the same time extremely proud of herself and very stern. As she lent back and rested her feet on the desk again, Tam surmised that this was not the case. The whir came back on the black typing filled the screen. Instantly there was the frantic scrabble of pens on paper as the students took down the following notes:

Mary-sues and other misplaced persons.

There are many types of MS and MP you will come across in your life at AMSA.

The first is a Type A Mary sue. These are the worst types of Mary sues you will encounter. They are completely lost causes and must be removed from Arda at all costs.

Type B Mary sue.

These Mary sues are less dangerous and, with much rehabilitation and re-schooling they may be safe to release back into society, with a lot of hard work they may even become members of the AMSA. Yes that's right a few of our members were once Mary sues.

At this information all the new recruits looked around at each other with interest.

Type C misplaced person.

These are people who know nothing or little of Arda and have not idea what is happening. They can be safely released back into society with very little rehab.

Type D misplaced Peron.

These misplaced people are hardcore Tolkien fans and are no real liability to Arda; however, for their own good they must be removed. Many of these fans become members of the AMSA.

With that the lights came back on and Sandra stood up. "Well then, I think that's everything of importance, shall we be off?"
