Public Information

You are the Service Bureau Chief for England.

You've been working for the Service for a couple years now. Before that you were an exotic dancer in a few rather unseemly clubs in a few of the red light districts of London. You also have some military training, albeit nothing that prepared you for the violence of Service duty.

Your first job in the Service was as bait for sex crimes offenders and slasher attackers. You quickly graduated to homicide and detective work and then on to tactical insertion teams and S.W.A.T. and anti-terrorist jobs. You're very good at field work of this type and have seen tours of duty in Beirut, Sarajevo, Kuwait, and Dublin.

Henry Chaplin has actually been a friend of your family for years. He and your father served together in World War Two.

Private Information

The tattoo on your right shoulder is the symbol of Eris. You've been a member of the Eris Cult for as long as you can remember. To the layman, Eris is the ancient Greek goddess of chaos, but you know that she is a real being . . . an alien interstellar traveler who crashed on the Earth thousands of years ago. Her followers tend to her needs and she in turn - through genetic engineering - grants them abilities the average human couldn't have through evolution. You have a psychic ability to influence people into telling the truth - when combined with your obvious feminine charms, this can be a lethal combination. You must protect the Eris cult at all costs.

Recently you have discovered that there has been a great deal of drug traffic in the Western United States that should not be there. This is obviously coming through the manipulations of someone high up in the Service. You must find out who is responsible and shut the operation down . . . protecting yourself in the process.

It has also come to your attention, through one of your Asian Eris contacts, that one of the Bureau Chiefs attending this meeting is in fact a double agent for an underworld gang. You need to ferret out who the traitor is and expose him or her to the others.

Goals

Find out who the double agent is. You must also discover who is behind the influx of drugs into the Western United States and make certain that the guilty parties are exposed. Try to determine which of your colleagues would make the best World Coordinator for the Service and support that person for the position. If at all possible, secure for yourself a Field Position, resigning from your Section Chief position - but only if a worthy colleague is willing to take on your position in addition to that person's current duties.
