In this chapter, Corain and Wagner discuss the possibility of contacting Warrick, a heavily guarded psych operator in Planys, by exploiting his familial ties and security vulnerabilities. They weigh the political risks and strategic timing of such an operation amid a tense Defense election and shifting power dynamics. The conversation reveals the complexity of espionage, political maneuvering, and the high stakes involved in accessing sensitive individuals within a tightly controlled environment.
