[ A snort. ]

I've seen some Vor skirts almost elaborate enough to count as force bubbles themselves.

And yes. That's my sole milieu. You can't insert informants in with the High Vor, not properly - they don't talk to proles, and everyone knows where all the other Vor came from and who they've been. So if you came up through the Imperial Service Academy, everyone around you is aware and guards their tongue. Hence the need for a civilian informant with connections cultivated over a long young adulthood of foolish and dissolute nights. And hence my skill with tiresome, self-important fools. I did it for free for many years before I did it for pay.
