The moonlight garden comes together quickly, as though the plants flow to Catleya's will or whimsy, and soon it is time for Operative Prem Deva's final debriefing with her superior before the two young women leave again for #Noxvaelia. As he is not dead at least largely due to Deva's efforts, everyone is in quite a good mood. (#Noirfey belong to @Viva-la-Luna)
Ah Prem Deva...Your alliances seem to be as illusive as you are, in a sense. One of the largest questions in this story is just what angle you are working at. But I suppose that's why you are as skilled as you are.
"And do you feel that's wise, Prem Deva?" "I trust my source implicitly, Master Ingyen, and I do not believe that the position of that individual within the syndicate will have been jeopardized by the failure to kill you, sir. As an actual syndicate member, this person can make offhand remarks without drawing suspicion and thereby learn far more than I could by listening alone." The Master Spy senses a caveat hanging in the air. "On what condition is your source willing to do this for us?"
"I can make my own guesses, agent. What I require is confirmation. Therefore, your next assignment is to discover whether the association of my government title to my actual career is data held only by a few, or by many. From there I will decided whether it is a potentially containable leak, or if I must become someone else in order to remain effective," says Master Ingeyn. "Yes, sir." Prem Deva nods abjectly. "With respect sir, my source has agreed to work with us to expedite my search."
"Agent, you've done excellent work. However, I'm sure that you can appreciate my interest in knowing just how widely within... your source's... syndicate my true identity has been disseminated, and if it has spread to other criminal organizations, which I must also beware. "Having spoken with my... source... Master Ingyen, we believe that it's unlikely that the information has yet left the syndicate which we are most familiar with. We agree the probable next move will be a small death squad."
