ENTRY 167: Codename: Sector
There is a mole in Firewall; an undercover agent or leak who
is passing Firewall’s data and technology to outside parties, including various
suspected TITAN affiliate groups, former collaborators, and exsurgent cells.
Firewall agents have been killed or infected, their missions blown. Valuable
intel data and equipment has gone missing. The counterintelligence agents
attempting to track and identify this mole know them only by the codename
Sector. While they do not yet have definitive proof of Sector’s real identity,
they have three strong suspects.
D’lish is a freelance media tech, veteran of six
gatecrashing documentaries and a brief but high-ratings civil war on one of the
Venusan aerostats. Murky personal history involving some military training; no
record of birth or family. She started stringing for Firewall in media circles
six years ago, began running her own agents within eighteen months, gradually
gained greater access to the organization as crises came up and were contained
or dealt with.
Artemis 1 worked her way to the top of the matriarchal sex-economy
hypercorp AllLove, and used her position to fund reproductive health education
throughout the solar system. Appeared on Firewall watch lists after attempting
to convene a conference on suspected sexually-transmitted diseases left behind
by the TITANs; contacted after her personal cadre of troops firebombed three
reproductive health clinics that were implanting xenomorph embryos in
unsuspecting transhumans. Became a close advisor on viral research who
personally took part in several research-and-recovery expeditions.
Jules Mars, professional war orphan from out of Mars.
Fifteen nanoseconds of fame for being the last living transhuman rescued from
the Zone; her muse managed to parlay that into a career as a minor media
personality focusing on the rights, benefits, and care of veterans and
survivors. Her continued prominence in the Martian mediasphere is in part due
to Firewall support, as Jules’ continued advocacy and has placed her at the
center of a number of groups that Firewall likes to keep tabs on. At this
point, she has become so adept at handling her Firewall handlers it is not
clear what Firewall assets she has access to.

Using Codename: Sector
The three suspects listed above are only the most likely
possibilities on Firewall’s list. Gamemasters may choose for any (or all, or
none) of them to be Sector. The search for a mole is a venerable story trope
with lots of material to draw on for an Eclipse Phase campaign, but in EP there
exist any number of possible twists: each of the women mentioned as suspects
may be no more than sleeves for the ego of the real morph, or Manchurian
Candidates whose psychosurgery-installed behavioral routines are trigged by
certain code phrases.
