Sector Seven

This article is about the Sector Seven organization itself. For the alternate reality game based on it, see Sector Seven (game).

Sector Seven is a human organization in the Movie continuity family. It doesn't run on "feelings."

"You guys have heard of Area 51? Well this is 50!"

We're the government. Sector Seven.

Never heard of it.

Never will.Agent Simmons and Ron Witwicky

Sector Seven is a secret American government agency, which deals with extraterrestrial technology and threats.

It is so secret, it has its own secret website.

Sector Seven sometimes operates through the front company S7 Industries.

Fiction

sectorseven.org

Sector Seven was founded over 100 years ago by a group of seven men:

• Stanford Julius Morehouse
• Edgar Thibedeau Westfield
• Neville Octavian Brewster
• Percy Emerson Whitting
• Wallace Wilson Clairmont
• Alistair Jennings Crowther
• Vance Milhaus Lawson

They are known as "The First Seven," and are said to have "hid the past to protect the future," whatever that means. Their portraits adorn a wall in the lobby of the present day Sector Seven headquarters, as a local pizza boy can attest.

In 2007, after the detection of a "blip" that matched their "threat profile," Agent Alexander Powers informed the organization that war may be imminent and that they were humanity's only hope. He and research scientist Rebecca Howard, ex-lovers, clashed several times over her desire to go public with information about the N.B.E. threat and seek assistance from other nations. This escalated with the detection of "N.B.E. Two," with whom Dr. Howard argued in favor of making contact.

Meanwhile, the mysterious Agent X began hacking into the Sector Seven network and leaking information to the public. Sector Seven ARG

IDW Movie Prequel comic

• Apparently, Sector Seven has been around for a very long time; certainly, an existing group has been around since before Sam Witwicky's Great-Great-Grandfather encountered the Mega-Man underneath the arctic ice. Upon hearing his story Sector Seven immediately went into action to seize his find and discredit the story.

• Interestingly, even this older version of Sector Seven has a number of interesting artifacts in their collection. These include pictures and a skull from a "triclops" life form of some kind, a severed bestial arm in a jar (possibly from a version of the Beast Wars, although the sketch is difficult to make out and mechanics may not be incorporated) and what could possibly be a fragment of the Golden Disk. Most intriguing indeed.

Ghosts of Yesterday novel

• 1969 - Sector Seven (headed by Walter Simmons, known internally as "The Old Man"), attempted the first test flight of an Ice Man-derived spacecraft (Ghost 1) using the Apollo 11 moon launch as cover. Unexpected complications occurred following contact with NBEs. At the same time the first attempt was made to relocate the Ice Man himself from the Arctic to southern Nevada to be better studied alongside a likewise mysterious "alien cube". Signs seemed to point to Sector Seven begining to shift from being a secret U.S. military protocol to a non-military "black ops" program. Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday The story also indicated that "Simmons and his family had been involved in Sector Seven work from its inception". However, no clue was revealed regarding the relationships between "the first seven" and "Simmons familiy".

Transformers (2007)

Being cars, the Autobots take fender benders very seriously.

A Sector Seven field team under Director Reggie Simmons headed to the Witwicky residence upon learning of Samuel James Witwicky's living car. Taking Witiwcky and Mikaela Banes into custody, the field unit's convoy was ambushed by Optimus Prime. Although they attempted to resist the Autobots, Ironhide alone had more weapons then all of them, and Jazz soon disarmed them. A backup team arrived to capture any of Autobots they could, but were only successful in capturing Bumblebee and the two teens.

Taken to Hoover Dam, Simmons and Tom Banachek showed the Teens, an army ranger unit, and Defense Secretary Keller the frozen N.B.E.-01, who Sam Witwicky identified as Megatron, leader of the Decepticons. However, Starscream arrived and destroyed their external power lines, while Frenzy sabotaged Megatron's stasis controls. With Megatron minutes away from thawing, Sam tried to convince Simmons to release Bumblebee, but Simmons was only convinced by Captain Lennox...who put a gun to Simmons chest. However, Bumblebee, who had was constantly being doused with cryoblasts, nearly lashed out at Sector Seven, before Sam calmed him and took him to the All Spark. Beyond providing a small amount of soldiers to assist the ranger unit under Lennox, Sector Seven played no serious role in the Battle of Mission City, which was mostly decided by the Autobots.

Sector Seven's time had come—and they had done nothing but make the situation worse, all their secret weapons being ineffective against the Decepticons, and having alienated the Autobots. Sector Seven was terminated in an effort to better cover up the existance of the Transformers, but it may have been influenced by their loss of control over the situation.

Equipment

As an exceptionally well-funded secret government organisation, Sector Seven is at the cutting edge of human (or alien-derived) technology in their quest to better understand the Ice Man, the Cube, and to seek other N.B.E.s on Earth.

Sector Seven Mobile Command Unit

Nothing to see here. Move along. And no not Motormaster

To counter public suspicion and the information about the N.B.E.s leaked by Agent X, Sector Seven employed a mass disinformation program in the form of a road tour at various cinemas across America. Black Peterbilt cabover trucks pull large, armoured trailers containing sophisticated communications and scanning equipment, as well as a small cage for containing any captured N.B.E.s assigned agents happen to find. However, the communications equipment aboard these trailers are frequently susceptible to displaying emergency communiques from Sector Seven Command showing a very well-edited and scored satellite video feed of an alien robot attack in Qatar, usually in the presence of ordinary civilians.

M9-2 Harpoon Gun

After this, lets go shoot some baby seals.

The M9-2 Harpoon Gun is a weapon developed by Sector Seven, under the direction of Rebecca Howard. The intial protoype was completed in 2003. Featuring an armor-piercing projectile that weighs 21.2 kilograms, the weapon has a range of 55 meters with a muzzle velocity of 324 meters per second.

Primative by N.B.E. standards, the weapon is nevertheless effective at subduing non-hostile aliens and contain them for cryo-freezing.

Pursuit van

Who took the doughnuts?

Once an N.B.E. has been located within range of Sector Seven field units, Mobile teams are sent out in pursuit vans to intercept and capture them (alive if possible). Equipped with the standard array of sophisticated communications equipment one comes to expect from Sector Seven, the vans are armed with a passenger-side M9-2 harpoon gun and generally carry a squad of troops armed with portable cryo-freezing units.

Sector Seven uses modified AH-64 Apache helicopters fitted with cryo-stasis rocket pods to capture N.B.E.s

SUV

Damn this gas guzzler. Which I as an American have a right to own.

For operations within urban/suburban zones or for human targets, Sector Seven agents travel in custom black GMC Yukons. They do not hold up well to being lifted by their roofs by large N.B.E.s, nor can they withstand electromagnetic pulses.

(Note: These SUVs also appear in the console version of the Transformers movie game.)

Assault buggy

Not Beachcomber.

Based upon the Chenowth Desert Patrol Vehicle (DPV) formerly used by the United States Military, this all-purpose, high-speed recon and attack vehicle can be fitted with a standard M2 Browning .50 caliber machine gun or Sector Seven's specially-developed weapons, ranging from cryo-freezing cannons (though this requires cryo-tanks to be installed in the rear compartment) to belt-fed automatic grenade launchers capable of firing armor-piercing sabot rounds.

One of these buggies was imbued with power from the All Spark and became the Autobot Landmine.

(Note: These buggies also appear in the console version of the Transformers movie game. They also appear in the two Nintendo DS games.)

Sector Seven Drone

These large treaded robots patrol the interior of Hoover Dam serving as security patrols. They are also found at certain military installations seemingly not in association with the secret agency. They are equipped with two powerful cannons.

(Note: The Sector Seven Drones only appear in the console version of the Transformers movie game.)

(Also Note: A far different kind of Sector Seven Drone, a white, Decepticon-like legged robot, appears very infrequently in the Antarctic level of Transformers: Autobots in only one mission. One can later be seen running around on a glacier, and is the only source of non-mission EXP in this particular map.)
