The Resistance - Mission Three

The small group stood mostly in silence as the jet bound for the western continent was readied. Two of them stood apart from the rest, saying their final farewells.

“I hope you will keep in contact, my new friend. Ah… I believe I heard the others call you 'two'?”

The other smirked at the hesitation at referring to another as a number.

“Code names for everyone in our cell. We call each other by numbers from a list of our names in our safehouse. Security reasons mostly.”

The recent rescuee simply nods at this as the engines of the jet roared to life. They lean in for a final discreet word as the others board.

“Watch all your friends closely. Our group was betrayed from within. Hegemony spies are patient, and trained to play the long game.”

With these final words the former prisoners set out on their flight west.

Mission Two Result: Success

Spy score: 1/3

Resistance score: 1/3

Higher-ups in the Hegemony military are still feeling the political backlash from the most recent mission. Many in the upper classes have taken the arrests as a flagrant violation of the Rights of the Nobility and due to the success of the widely-publicized jailbreak some have become emboldened enough to speak out against it. The hegemon herself has ordered a number of investigations into the matter and several high ranking military officers have already been forced into early retirement or replaced in their command positions as a direct result.

One man that stands to benefit from the chaos in part due to his condemnation of the arrests from the beginning is Colonel Reeford, a first generation baron in command of the Northeastern Militarized Zone. Reeford will be present at a conference to discuss incorporating the zone into the Hegemony as a full province, which would allow him to seek a more prestigious command elsewhere now that some positions have opened up. While provincial status would guarantee a better quality of life for the residents in the zone it would also allow the Hegemony to redeploy forces in the zone to other areas across the continent, something that many in the Alliance of New Hope believe would be devastating to their long-term plans. The next mission is to disrupt this conference, kidnap Colonel Reeford, and transport him to an Alliance safehouse for interrogation.

The first mission leader for this mission is Earth. Four players are needed for the next mission.
