[i]"Counterargument: Passivity is Draupnir.
Full ident: Passivity-48-Skitarii/Extractive/Autocephalous. 
Draupnir has developed a cloning process for elite Skitarii agents capable of acting independently. Three other Passivity-template agents have been positively identified in the surrounding regions performing Draupnir black ops. 
Passivity presented herself to Mars as a convert. Renounced her former allegiances in order to train as a datasmith. It is clear now that this was a deception. This is an organized coup and she is the catspaw.
But what she does not know is that I am prepared for this conflict. Contingencies are in place to ensure that this is not a fight but an execution. I will seize her assets at a stroke. The bluecoats will be forced to back down. Balance will be restored, but speed must be maintained, lest the Motive Force ground. 

Join us - your assistance would legitimize this action - and I missed you too."[/i]

This is news. Draupnir has a reputation for being home to especially charismatic preachers and receiving more than their share of pilgrims, converts and defectors. It isn't often that one hears of converts going in the other direction - but is that because there aren't any or they just aren't especially publicized? 

[Bullshit Detector] But that's what makes this such a powerful information trap. What makes a Magi of the Adeptus Mechanicus more certain than holding [i]secret knowledge[/i]? She knew something you did not, that means that she outranks you. She knows something that Passivity does not, which means she can beat her. You would bet your skull that these contingencies are going to fall through the moment that battle is joined, but you have instinct and she is operating from a base of compromised facts.

One positive: You get a green light response from Marshal November, and an immediate noospheric ripple as Skitarii forces start redeploying throughout the facility. At least one thing here isn't interested in falling into chaos.
