In an unspecified Third World Country... Crafty Roukai was mostly satisfied with the way her life had gone so far. She was in her late twenties, naturally pretty, and athletic, but best of all, she worked with a mercenary group called the Hessi. She would have preferred a private military company, as they provided better pay and benefits, but her current situation and contacts only provided her with so many resources. She was still wanted by Demonessian authorities for her role in the 2011 ITC Patin attack, among other reasons, and so she could only be involved in low visibility operations. Even if she was living in what some would consider terrible conditions, it wasn't too bad. During her time with the Apostates, she had discovered she had a talent for destruction and her current line of work allowed her to explore it. The Hessi were enforcers for a local warlord and though she lived in a misogynistic environment, she had earned fear by reputation: she didn't shy away from brutal techniques to quell the local population and she had disemboweled the first man who had tried to take her by force. While she was not in a position of power, she was respected. That wasn't to say she hadn't suffered. Her athletic build had become slimmer since food in the Watari region was scarce, even for the Hessi. News traveled slowly, so she couldn't stay informed on her wanted status, and the equipment she used was nowhere near the standards she had used as Special Tactics. She had acquired a few scars along the way and malaria had nearly killed her the first month in Watari. She now lived in the Hessi compound, which was a collection of six buildings - more accurately a collection of sheds - and smaller huts that also housed Hessi families. The compound was walled with tin and barbed wire and had an armed guard in a tower. Crafty should have been boarded with another mercenary, but after disemboweling the last one she ended up housed with a young pregnant girl named Darli; Crafty didn't know her story since Darli didn't speak English, but she strongly suspected Darli wasn't here willingly. The Hessi compound was approximately ten miles from the nearest town, a goat farming village with no name, and fifteen miles from Warlord Ekard, who lived in a much better guarded compound in an isolated mountain. Tomorrow, Crafty would take the Jeep with a few other Hessi and head up to Ekard's place to replace the guards. She liked it better up there - there was clean water - and she planned to catch Ekard's eye, but she never saw him. |

Alex tightened his jaw, as this was a plausible explanation, but he didn't accept it. "It seems a bit convenient then that her sister had Roukai's NDAISE badge," he said. He looked to his partner to see if she believed it. Her face was neutral as she asked, "What has she said about the Apostates?" |

"That her mission was to infiltrate them, so she of course did have contact with them. She suggested that we communicate with Agent Kitakura and inquire. She also provided us with the code names Incubus and Changeling," Erryn replied. |

"Agent Kitakura was the one who reported Roukai going rogue," Nitsa replied. "None of this really substantiates her story though." She paused. "We can take it from here. Where's the transfer paperwork?" |

"Actually," Erryn replied, "We'd like to keep her on the Dauntless for the initial stages of her debrief as this was majorly a JSITR operation." |

"I thought you had sufficient time before our arrival to debrief her," Alex replied. "What further need do you have to interview her? You confirmed that Major Davion's cover story is intact." |

Erryn shrugged. "JSITR feels that she could still be an intelligence asset if it's proven that she was not flipped and is concerned that she would not be reintegrated once we transfer her over." |

"Her face is plastered all over international channels. Of course she is not going to be reintegrated into the intelligence force," Nitsa replied. "She was recruited for intelligence gathering, not analysis. We have no further use for her and neither will you. Right now, even if she wasn't compromised, she represents a security threat to the Palace. The Apostates would be remiss if they didn't realize Roukai and her sister had specific knowledge of security procedures there and within the High Guard." |

"All the more reason to use her," Erryn replied. "Easier for the enemy to accept a double agent when the state is publicly declaring her an enemy of the state. Once there, misinformation would be easy." |

"I think you understand how seriously we take Palace Security and any possible breaches," Alex replied. "There is also the concern about what her sister may have already said about vulnerabilities." "What my colleague is saying is that we would rather have that information under control," Nitsa interjected. "Especially when we already had reason to suspect her loyalties." |

Nick raised an eyebrow. "She's been away from Palace operations for years. If you consider her a legitimate threat and haven't changed your security precautions accordingly-" Erryn cut him off. "That's not the issue. The point is while you may see her as a potential threat due to outdated security information, JSITR views her as too valuable of an asset to just stick in a cell somewhere or execute. If it can be proved that she did not flip, she's able to be utilized properly at this point and with a very convenient backstory and public credibility." |
