This evening, at 18:42, Singh discovered one of the Neuroclast subjects in Espionage HQ Sector B. E Watson was aprehended and remanded to the Memory Cradle for interrogation. You can read the incident report here.

Through use of the Fracture Garden, Novak discovered that Watson was a sleeper agent who activated once onboard Mnemosyne. To be clear, this was a targeted, remote triggered agent. Initial screening to bring her aboard did not raise any flags and it is my belief that this could not have been detected beforehand.

Arguably more importantly, Novak uncovered the following information:

• Two node locations: Vuelta Grande, Guatemala and Inhaca, Mozambique

• The names of three other sleeper agents

• The location of an Antarctic bunker. The bunker is believed to contain plans for something unknown that the Architects do not want us to get our hands on. Our disruption of Xitang has intensified their determination.

We'll be launching an immediate investigation into this bunker. Schade, Finotti: you'll be handing off your Sighișoara assignment and deploying on this instead. Hache, Murphy, and Wijk: you'll be accompanying them. Your objective is to retrieve whatever is in that bunker.

Novak, Bhandari, Rojo: you'll be walking the other Neuroclast subjects through the Garden. I don't want any other surprises from them.

NOVAK, SINGH.

Good work.

Oh. I guess it can't be a coincidence that she was part of the trial.

Oh boy I hope not!

They've been with Dislinked for quite some time. Being aboard the ship, however, served as a trigger.

Thank you. This will keep me warm at night once Adrían returns in full "I told you so" force.

If you don't want to deal with it, I'm happy to arrange for him to be absconded with.

This is insane information, but good job getting that out of her.

A remote-trigger sleeper agent is designed so the operative can live normally (and even pass deep vetting) until a very specific activation signal flips them into mission mode. In this case, the Mnemosyne itself is the trigger. The specifics, however, are presently beyond me.
