==Notable Members==
In gameplay, and in trailers, we are shown various members of the organization, varying from regular soldiers to scientists. Out of these, there are at least
There exists a type of command hierarchy within the organization's members as alluded to by gameplay and extra content. The [[Dispatcher]], [[Commander]] and the player, known as the Recruit, are the only high-ranking members known. It is suggested that there are higher positions above the [[Commander]] and the [[Dispatcher]] in the '''T.D.S. Organization''', as the [[Commander]] was required to get authorization before confronting the [[Narrator (Story)|Narrator]] in [[The Final Act Event]].<ref>[[File:Hqauthorization.png|thumb|250x250px]]

===Chronological===
==== TDS: Origins ====
The activities of the '''T.D.S. Organization''' in the past are revealed to us through this chapter.
===== Ghost Town =====
The [[Commander]] and his team of the [[Minigunner]], the [[Soldier]], the [[Sniper]], and the player travel to the [[Abandoned City]] to rescue any survivors there and bring them back to base but encounter a zombie horde there and are forced to clear it out. The team do not find the survivors, which prompts them to leave the city in search of another location.
===== Radio Silence =====
The [[Commander]]'s team travels to an army [[Forest Camp]] as that is where they believed the survivors could be hiding out after they left the [[Abandoned City]]. But still, they do not find the survivors. The zombie horde from the [[Abandoned City]] has been trailing the [[Commander]]'s team this entire time, following them to the [[Forest Camp]], which forces them to deal with them again while trying to find a new way out to find the survivors.
===== Off The Rails =====
The [[Commander]]'s team is led to [[U-Turn]] in search of the survivors, there, inside a convenience store, the [[Commander]] and the [[Soldier]] spot the [[Demoman]] and [[Hops]], two members of the '''T.D.S. Organization''' who had disobeyed orders and decided to help the survivors after receiving a distress signal from them. Together, the team comes up with a plan to successfully move the survivors out of the area and to [[Cyber City]].
===== Burning Bridges =====
After taking advantage of a break in the zombie horde to escape through the railroad tracks to [[Cyber City]], the team is forced to stop because of the bridge that has been blown out. The zombie horde continues to follow the team, making them evaluate what options they have left to escape. The [[Demoman]] gets an idea to blow up the bridge behind them as they escape to stop the zombies from following them. The team agrees to this plan and gives the [[Demoman]] covering fire to help him prepare. Unfortunately, the bridge is blown up too fast for the agents to react, and [[Hops]] and the [[Demoman]] fall into the water with the rest of the zombies.
===== Derailed =====
After the rest of the agents escaped the zombies from the bridge, the day passes into night, and the group decides to catch their breath at a train station before moving onward. However, the explosion at the bridge would have alerted every zombie in the nearby area, so the agents are forced to hold back against any zombies that followed them to the train station before they continue onward.
===== Rock Bottom =====
The survivors, led by the agents, escape into [[Crystal Cave]] where they meet the [[Trapper]], who revealed to them that he set up a variety of traps within the cave to deter any zombies that attempt to waltz into the area. The [[Trapper]] mentions that he heard voices within the cave earlier that day, which prompts the attention of the [[Soldier]] to wonder if the voices belonged to [[Hops]] and [[Demoman]]. With the [[Trapper]]'s help, the [[Commander]] and his team navigate through the cave to [[Cyber City]].
===== Surface Tension =====
The [[Trapper]] leads the Commander's group into the [[Cyber City]] crystal refinery. The [[Commander]] uses his radio to contact anyone from [[Cyber City]], to which [[Professor V]] responds. [[Professor V]] helps usher the team to the surface, but in doing so, some of the city's defenses had to be shut off. [[Hops]] and the [[Demoman]] appear to the group from within the refinery, but as they are not able to immediately rejoin the group, they are forced to find another way out on their own.
===== Lights Out =====
The [[Commander]]'s group manages to successfully reach [[Cyber City]], but as the defenses have been shut off for their arrival, the horde of zombies manages to reach up to them. They are forced to hold off until [[Professor V]] could restart the city's defenses. Just as the defenses reboot back online, the leader of the zombie horde reaches the group's location, and is revealed to be none other than the [[Grave Digger]]. The agents defeat the [[Grave Digger]], and in the aftermath, the [[Demoman]] rejoins the group without [[Hops]]. The [[Soldier]] believes [[Hops]] to be dead, but then [[Hops]] pranks him by revealing he is still alive.
====Halloween 2019====
During the [[Halloween 2019 Event]], the '''T.D.S. Organization''' dispatches agents to deal with the [[Jack O' Bot]] and its forces in [[Nightmare Carnival]], who are invading to collect a [[God Cube]] fragment held at the carnival<ref name="h19h20"/>. The [[Jack O' Bot]] is defeated and presumed to be destroyed. It is unknown whether the '''T.D.S. Organization''' knew about [[The Umbra]]'s connection to the [[Jack O' Bot]] at the time. What happened to the [[God Cube]] fragment in [[Nightmare Carnival]] is also unclear. [[Nightmare Carnival]] is located within the [[Overworld]].
Line 283 ⟶ 432:
====The Final Act====
The [[Commander]] leads an unauthorized mission to the military base that the [[Narrator (Story)|Narrator]] has taken over for his show. There, they watch the retelling of [[Lord Exo]]'s origin within the [[Old World]], and how he became trapped in the [[God Cube]] after endless war with [[Two X]] and his forces. At the end of the show, when the [[Narrator (Story)|Narrator]] is dramatically defeated, he strikes up a deal with the [[Commander]], promising to bring him to [[Lord Exo]] in exchange for something unknown. It is revealed at the end of this event that [[Lord Exo]] incarnated [[The Umbra]] into the [[Dispatcher]]'s body by placing [[The Umbra]]'s<ref name="umbravessel">

If the [[Hidden Wave]] is to be taken as part of the canon, then after the [[Fallen King]]'s defeat, he was [[Awakened Fallen King|awakened to his full power]] by a [[???|mysterious force]]. However, his power-up was not enough to conquer the '''T.D.S. Organization''', and he was still defeated. In the case of [[Hidden Wave]] being canon, the [[God Cube]] fragment ends up being retrieves after the [[Fallen King]]'s second defeat.<ref name="godcubereport"/>

***The [[Void Swordmaster]] no longer being tied to the [[SFOTH Event]] but rather being a warrior from the [[Old World]] that was taken in by [[Void Caster]] points towards the event being decanonized.<ref>{{InlineQuote|[[Void Caster]], surprisingly, did not create the Void Sword Master.

*According to a QA tester for the game, there is an unnamed Commander in Chief of the '''TDS Organization''', ranking above the [[Commander]] and the [[Dispatcher]], that has not been revealed.<ref>[[File:TDSCommanderinChiefproof.png|thumb|347x347px|https://discord.com/channels/587355301083349002/608819410383405056/1434423740573417644 (Tower Defense Simulator Server)]]

**Although an important fact like this coming from a QA tester rather than an official developer is unorthodox, this particular QA tester has a reputation of giving factual information when it comes to behind the scenes production of the game.
*If all towers are to be presumed to play a role within the ranks of the '''T.D.S. Organization''', then it is likely the [[Gatling Gun]]'s operator is the Recruit, as both are representations of the player.
