As you walk out of the lobby of the apartment, a white sedan turns on and its headlights flicker to life. It is dark and raining outside. You get into right rear passenger seat. Not a word is uttered between your apartment and Site 17. The car pulls into a driveway after being on the road for about an hour. You walk through the gate and open the cellar doors. The driver closes the doors behind you. As you walk down the stairwell, the pale light of an overhead incandescent bulb begins to brighten. Standing over the table is Agent Watchman. He is an interesting figure. He is tall and lean yet his muscles are visible through his suit. He is completely bald - not even eyebrows. His face and hands are scarred - various cuts and burns. His suit is crisp, crease and fold being tidy and trim. "Good evening, agent," he says, monotone. He sits down and you follow.
"You have been assigned to Operation BACKYARD FUN. Operation BACKYARD FUN is a joint operation between the Bureau of Internal Affairs, Federal Ministry of Defense, and National Intelligence Service, spearheaded by the Bureau of Internal Affairs. The Bureau has appointed you the field commander of this operation and entrusts you to complete the following objectives. The primary objective of Operation BACKYARD FUN is to covertly fight a conflict against the People's Army of National Freedom and usurp power from the National Liberty Union by all means necessary. The secondary objective of Operation BACKYARD FUN is to commit to a counter-narcotics project and disrupt if not destroy the operations of the Kings of Palco and the Marejones and Chejondo Cartels," he pauses.
"You will receive financial, intelligence, and materiel aid during this operation. You are to assume a native identity in east Cacina. The Bureau has assembled this dossier regarding your character," Agent Watchman says, handing you a manilla envelope. "Read, internalize, and then destroy these documents. After your briefing concludes here, you will board a dinghy and be transported to Soliguelver. From there, you will head to your assigned apartment and read the provided instructions. Are there any questions?"

Diego Asturia the CharismaticBehind every president, general, and public figure is a cohort of campaign managers, logistics experts, and administrators. The Asturia family is part of the "old guard" of the Federation as they have been a part of the government since its inception, but rather than being public figures in the federation who occupy the top positions of the government, the family consisted of generations of seemingly anonymous civil servants, policy experts, diplomats, and various mid-level officials making sure that the cogs of the giant federation continued to grind along and slowly influenced the government through small changes that they could make as administrators within the Federation. It is thanks to his family name and heritage that Diego was brought up among the political elite of the Federation, and attended the finest schools in Alamedra. However, within the marbled pillars of the Federation in Alamedra, Diego was well aware of the decay within the foundations of this government. Corruption... extortion... organized crime... all were rampant in the Federation and slowly killing it like an insidious poison.
It was for this reason that Diego decided to join the BIA after graduating from college, which considering his background and the rampant nepotism within the Federation made it nearly impossible for Diego to not be accepted into the BIA. While he privately does not agree with the current administration on many matters, Diego is knowledgeable enough to know that true change and revolution could only be done from within the bureaucracy via slow, but purposeful institutional changes. A civil war or coup would only lead to a despot who was even more corrupt and cruel than the current administration, which would lead to more misery and pain for the people and the Federation. Thus, with faith within the federal institution, Diego works to do his part to begin making changes within the government in order to redirect the current ruinous path of Cacina.
Lorenzo Castilho-CossmannLorenzo Castilho-Crossmann's mother is Pauline Cossmann and is an immigrant from the Republic of Yozgyatan to the east. His father is Miguel Castilho-Cardoso, a native of a village in Buronto. Lorenzo was born 19 August 1944 in Soliguelver. His address is 1628 Rua Dom Aquino, Unit 12B, Soliguelver in The Harbour District. Lorenzo grew up in Soliguelver his entire life and attended Colégio Marques. He attended the Universidad de Dos Arboledas and graduated with a Bachelor's of Science with a major in Mechanical Engineering.
Miguel Castilho-Cardoso lived in the Buronto village of Bilencia. When he was eighteen, he enlisted in the Federal Army and fought in the Great War against the Boesian Empire. When he returned from the War, deranged and diagnosed with various mental illnesses, he moved to Soliguelver and worked the rest of his life as a foreman at the harbor by day and a bartender at the Jolly Lady by night. It was that same night when he met his to-be wife, Pauline Cossmann. She was visiting her father, an Admiral in the Yozgyatan Navy, who was docked at Soliguelver at the time. She had asked for a martini seven times and did not realize that Miguel had stopped her after two and was filling her glass with potato water and olive juice.
Eventually Miguel would marry Pauline and they would raise Lorenzo. Pauline was a passionate musician for her life... and taught music at the St. Cicero Boy's School in the Blacksong neighborhood.
Pauline would eventually come down with cancer and after her passing, Miguel could not bear to live any longer. This left Lorenzo alone in the cruel world for about five years now.
Your objective is to disrupt or destroy EPLN operations in east Cacina as well as bring criminal organizations to justice. The Bureau has done some preliminary social engineering in your neighborhood to create anti-EPLN sentiment. The Bureau also informed you that the harbormaster, appointed by the EPLN, is very cruel to the dock workers and are empathetic to the narrative the Bureau has created.
The Bureau has also informed you that you will receive F$15,000 every two weeks and that F$75,000 has already been wired to the bank account under Lorenzo's name. If more resources are needed, there is a resident agent in Soliguelver that lives in the Silver Water district. The agent frequents the Crossroad, a bar in the same area. The primer is "Do you know where to get a nice suit?" The response will be "Oh my dearest cousin is a tailor."
The telephone number for the BIA Catillarame Field Office is 800-208-5291.
