The original team name was "The Bureau of Military Science", however it was shortened to '''The Bureau''' as the military science bit made the team name sound a bit naff. However, the old tag "BMS" is still used occasionally. |

The team had a shaky start to the season as a reform combined with having the hardest group left them in 5th place in the main season, many players were disheartened after this season and left which led Chronos to reform the team and [[Scrambled]], the sub heavy at the time, to take a few players to begin ''The Agency'' which would later pass players like [[Apex]], [[yahoo]] and Scrambled on to The Bureau. |
| − | + | The Bureau initially planned to use [[UGC Highlander Season 15|UGC Season 15]] as a test season to trial new players. They lost the first game, which could be attributed to inexperience, as they were undefeated for the rest of the season, beating [[Team Colonslash: Express|TC: Express]] rather convincingly in the final. At this point The Bureau were aiming to take a winning team to compete in the High Tier of [[ETF2L Highlander Season 8|ETF2L's Season 8]]. | |

| + | After trialing several new players in the Experimental Highlander One-Night-Cup #7, which lead The Bureau to picking up [[ixy]] as scout, [[dd5f]] as soldier, [[kuli]] as demo and [[Afirax]] as sniper, the team's new roster was fairly completed for [[ETF2L Highlander Season 9|ETF2L's Season 9 High Tier]]. The Bureau's reform turned out to be incredibly dominant, dropping only a single map during the regular season and one map in the Grand Finals. Even though there were many internal issues with the team, especially revolving around the heavy spot, there were only few teams in High that were able to contest them. The Bureau strived for first place since the start and eventually won High securing direct promotion to [[ETF2L Highlander Season 10/Premiership|ETF2L's Season 10 Premiership Tier]]. | ||

| − | + | As newcomers The Bureau went in to Season 10 to try to solidify their position as a Premiership level team. Chronos, at the start of the season, said that the team should be aiming at least for playoffs and ideally for 3rd place. The team dropped points between week 3 and 5 that they were unhappy about. A few players had other commitments and the roster was forced to be changed in mid season. Scrambled, despite being removed from the team during Season 9, repraised his role as heavy replacing [[Simba]] and [[Scriptzon]] picked up the sniper rifle replacing [[BeS]]. Regardless, The Bureau were still able to compete and took points off of their remaining fixtures. After some controversy regarding points lost for warnings, The Bureau finished in 4th place nonetheless taking the last playoff spot. Beating [[Highpander]] in the first round of players but losing against [[Strong Opinions]] in the Semi Final afterwards, The Bureau became 3rd overall. | |
