Carissa presents Security with an incomplete briefing on today's exercise, which will be incomplete because the Security assigned to participate in the exercise and ordered already not to use Detect Thoughts will best satisfy their roles if they are missing much relevant context: the exercise is that one of the girls is a traitor, but they are expected not to act on that knowledge and to persist in their usual habits.
Furthermore, they are to pretend, for today, to be limited in the fashion that Security in alter-Cheliax would be limited. They may not use Detect Thoughts; if they capture the suspected traitor alive they have to dawdle for ten full minutes before extracting information such as whether this was in fact the traitor. Other Security has been assigned to ensuring that these limitations don't produce any genuine security holes.
Finally, they are for this exercise not to carry the scrolls of Teleport assigned to them, because they don't want this exercise to present the girls with a genuine temptation to defect; they are to trade them for these rolls of paper that say 'Teleport' on them, which are a win condition for the girls. Again, other Security has been assigned to ensuring that these limitations don't produce any genuine security holes.
"It is my hope and expectation that you will apprehend the pretend-traitor without incident; it'd be more convenient if you don't kill her, but killing her is preferable to letting her win, unless it's Ione, who should be permitted to win rather than killed, if relevant. The exercise is expected to end tonight, but you should consider it still underway until Suribachs tells you otherwise, or until you get a top-priority alert from those Security not on this assignment. You're dismissed. Olegario, a word."
