The Department of Superhuman Affairs greets Sally and Devlan with polished stone, fluorescent light, and silence. A federal escort leads them past locked doors and sealed glass, deeper into Washington D.C.'s cleanest corridor.
The briefing room is all steel table, blank screens, and a wall speaker already humming. A red folder waits at the center, stamped with Rose City Warriors access seals.
The Voice Outside
Sally. Devlan Mitchel. Thank you for coming.
Sally
This voice is the same one from before.
The Voice Outside
You have evidence the Department wants back, and a problem inside the Rose City Warriors that could become public.
The screen flickers on, showing a blurred internal roster, then a highlighted line that blinks over one name before the image cuts out. The folder on the table slides an inch, as if someone on the other end is testing how ready Sally is to answer.
The Voice Outside
We can help you identify the traitor, if you are willing to share what you took from the vault.

“I stare at the blank screen and demand they show me the name again.”
SUCCESS (Legendary Willpower, rolled -1)
Sally
Show me the name again.
The blank screen snaps back to life, not the roster this time, but a clean dossier line. One name stays lit long enough to read before the rest of the file shutters behind it.
Devlan goes still beside the table, eyes cutting from the screen to Sally, waiting for the room to explain itself.
The Voice Outside
There. Am I making myself clear now?
A second line appears under the name, and the warning light over the monitor keeps strobbing like a pulse in the walls.
The Voice Outside
That is the person inside the Warriors who has been feeding your movements upward. We can give you the full chain, if you keep cooperating.
On the table, the red folder trembles once as the hidden feed locks onto Sally's answer, and the speaker waits for what she does with the name.
