[AtB: A1.2] The Filly Connection

Hook: An EoH operative in Filly is hiring mercs and anti-Cardanian's to run sabotage missions with the promise of great rewards on their return from a success missions.

Line: Intel gathered following the mission at Radar Station Zulu (see HL&S "[AtB: A1.1] Radar Station Zulu"), points to an EoH operative working out of Filly who is hiring groups to perform missions against Cardania. The intel, however is incomplete and they don't know who or where the operative is in the city. If the characters were able to subdue and capture one of the raiders, he will divulge the name of a contact in Filly who may be able to get the characters close to the operative. The Cardanian government assigns the characters to go to Filly and gather as much information as possible on the Empires operation and operative by any means possible. Any evidence the characters can bring back that will implicate the Empire's hand in this situation will fetch the characters a handsome reward.

Sinker: The operative is actually a Shifter Mouse in the guise of a Human, and will use his powers to change his appearance to elude capture if needed. The Shifter Mouse is actually working deep undercover for two parties: the Rodent Cartel, and the Free Rangers (the Free Rangers are an extremist group of mutant chickens in Dover County, Cardania (Delaware)). In 48 hours, the operative will be assembling another group of mercenaries to launch an attack at another Cardanian installation. If the characters can stop this attack in time they will receive an additional reward.

Note: There is no information in the Shifter Mouses possession that indicates his connection to the Free Rangers, but there is a paper trail that can be followed to the Rodent Cartel. That trail will be expanded upon in the next HLS. If, by some chance, the Shifter Mouse is captured and returned to Cardania, he will be found dead in his holding cell, the victim of an unknown assailant.
