OPERATIONAL STAKES
What changes when the player acts
A false type assignment can burn an innocent source, miss a coerced insider, misread a medical crisis as hostile activation, or let a deliberate sponsor hide behind institutional procedure.
Decision points
- Decide whether a changed behavior reflects role, loyalty, coercion, exposure, injury, or a temporary state before assigning hostile intent.
- Choose which claim can be shown publicly without exposing private identity, treatment, or source-protection material.
- Determine whether the copied assessments were careless bureaucracy, a counterintelligence deception, or deliberate program governance.
- Protect a character whose observable state is unstable without erasing the operational evidence they preserved.
The elevated source set changes how this operation is interpreted.
