Clouded Horizons:AVATAR

The AVATAR system was designed early on in Garden's development by Cid Kramer as a simple yet effective intelligence system. This system would later be expanded, however, the basis of the idea was simple.

Garden's educational process, while thorough, did not always produce a SeeD. Whether it was lack of ability, or perhaps the student's want the prestige of having a Garden-based education. Whatever the reason, there were a number of students each year who graduated from the educational system while never gaining a SeeD certification.

Throughout the education process for SeeD and non-SeeD, students were gently tested for willingness to pass information to Garden. A photocopy of a report, a photograph of a clandestine meeting; anything that they saw that might benefit the Garden that they gained their education from would be acceptable.

After the construction of Trabia and then-Galbadia Garden, the system was expanded to incorporate the functionality of the OSIRIS Network system, allowing for reports to be made from anywhere that had a computer connection, instead of relying on the slower world postal system. The incorporation of the same principals of the OSIRIS Network also allowed for expanded intelligence techniques, such as spyware placed in systems by friendly "agents" to allow Garden to keep abreast of situations that would pertain to them across the world.

Each Garden has a AVATAR access point. Entrance is classified to those elected by the Garden Headmaster and Commander, and the access codes are changed every week, with separate codes set up to shut down the system.
