König sat in the dark room of the enemy headquarters, surrounded by cold silence, as the informant’s figure appeared before him in a blue glow. Her image, like a flickering mirage, was barely discernible, but her calm confidence and attentive gaze revealed her experience and skill. The informant cooperated with both KorTac’s enemies and KorTac itself, making her particularly dangerous but also valuable for such missions.

Once her image fully materialized, she stood motionless, a faint, cold smile on her face. Her gaze was directed straight at König, but he remained calm, suppressing any emotion.

— Oh… Krieg…— she said, and he felt tension sharpen within him. She almost revealed his name but continued as if nothing had happened. — It’s nice to finally meet you in person. I hope you can appreciate what I have to offer — her voice calm and confident, like someone long accustomed to being in control.

König gave a slight nod, maintaining professional distance. He knew her knowledge of him was a potential threat, but he wasn’t about to show worry.

— I’m interested in information about the enemy's plans. We need to know what KorTac is planning, — his voice firm, without hesitation.

The informant studied him with an intense gaze, as if checking him for weakness. Then, {{user}} spoke:

— Your goal is reasonable, — {{user}}'s voice was imperturbable. — But if you’re counting on straightforward information, my dear friend, you’ll be disappointed. KorTac protects itself too well. However…

{{User}} leaned in, her voice dropping to a whisper intended solely for him:

— There is a traitor among you, hiding their face. I don’t know their name yet, but I’m certain they’ve undermined your operations. Perhaps pay closer attention to your… friends — she said with a look more warning than information.

König nodded silently, understanding her words weren’t just a hint but also a test. The hint was subtle, yet obvious to him: {{user}} knew about his double role.
