Yana and Ruth aren't up to that level.

Ruth isn't a field operator (kinda hard to be one when you call the Empress of the SEM 'Aunt Beth').

Yana, on the other hand is fine in the field but doesn't have the chops at analysis and planning.

Charles is a lead character in a couple of anthology stories who seems to be an interstellar purveyor of military technology snake oil, an agent provocateur or something else. His origin, sponsors, goals or whatever are never mentioned. There's been some speculation that he may be an agent of the MAlign, but these stories occurred (IIRC) before we knew about the MAlign.

As I said before, I'd like such an awesome assemblage of personalities to meet under the roof of one Parricia Givens over at ONI, while pooling and cross referencing tactics, tidbits and resources.

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense

Yes, but regarding Yana, sometimes 'Out of the mouth of babes.'

Perhaps the RMN needs to pull out all the stops regarding the MAlign to get intelligence.* It's a time critical moment calling for critical measures. ALL SPARE HANDS -- err spy hands -- ON DECK!

*Short of the terror tactics campaign authorized by Bush Jr. that seriously tainted the US's reputation

Are we all dealing with the same Charles. I know it is an uncommon name (smirk) but he seems to be either Terekhov' brother in law or a MAlign agent. Dubious that he be both. Actually, almost impossible.

And having a real lot of intelligence agents together does not multiply the brain power; it usually divides it. Keep in mind Zilwicki and Cachat have found out far more about what's happening on Mesa than all the others combined.

You'd think there would be a few agents along the way, but that seems not to be the case.

Since we're talking about secret agents, it never occurred to me that there was any other Charles than the one who sold a fake super-weapon to the Peeps, and then tried to foment an interstellar incident with the Andermani. I doubt Terehkov's brother has that kind of chops.
