[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 6230325, member: 79141"] [b]DM's Notes - The Enemy of My Enemy...[/b] The players went looking for 'a mole' so they found 'a mole'. That leaves two left undiscovered for now. Malthusius has a very high insight, so he should have been able to root out the lot, as he devoted a whole four-hour slot to interviewing each officer. But the questions he was asking and the angle the player wanted to pursue made it difficult for me to imagine him finding anyone but the officer responsible for the leek that morning.

Cippiano had told them then that he would need to see some hard evidence that the RHC meant business. So I decided that he would contact them on 11th no matter how well the task force was doing, as a reward for maintaining this contact. Turns out they earned 3 strikes then anyway.
