[Color=slategray]“Good question, Kassandra.”[/color] Despite the other questions and comments made previously, he addressed hers first. It was a subtle way to highlight the request for that piece of information and the person making it. [Color=slategray]“Besides her cyber infiltration capabilities, Origami is a metahuman with papyrokinesis— the ability to shape and manipulate paper. As far as physical performance, our analysis places her as an individual with peak-human levels of fitness with an affinity for acrobatics.”[/color] Batman’s face minimized, while displaying a rotating t-posed 3D model of a silhouetted woman’s body with some of the details mentioned, displayed in bullet point format beside it. [color=slategray]“Combat is rarely, if not ever, her first course of action; in fact, it is one of the reasons why she remains elusive to many organizations, including our own. As far as personality… this is [i]my[/i] assessment.”[/color] There was no documented personality data due to the limited contact with the young information broker, but that didn’t limit the world’s greatest detective. [color=slategray]“The four major cornerstones of Origami’s psyche include discipline, pride, knowledge, and caution. The first two build the foundation of who she is—in other words, her work ethic and professional reputation guide the nature of her actions, making her highly performance-driven. In simpler words, she’s a perfectionist. If Origami is making mistakes, you should view them as achievements toward another goal against your own.”[/color] His head had turned to a few members of the team as he presented certain pieces of this information. [color=slategray]“The latter two cornerstones tie together cyclically, toxically feeding into each other. As an information broker, knowledge is currency, but Origami views every unknown with the same high level of caution, taking Sun Tzu’s ‘know your enemy’ to the extreme. The more information, the more caution adopted. The more caution needed, the more information required. So, it’s fair to say she lives in a state of fluctuating anxiety, believing ‘the unknown could be a threat, and therefore [i]it is[/i].’ Your combat weaknesses and your preferred vehicle color have the same value in her eyes, even if they objectively don’t carry the same level of sensitivity, [b]so Cora[/b], the best thing the Team can do is practice information security. From our correspondence, Origami was only given information about the Team’s size, combined experience level, aliases, cover, and mission objective. I don’t doubt she will attempt to collect more information on the team through electronic means or advanced elicitation techniques, but that is the risk we’re assuming to obtain data from Kobra at the gala. ”[/color] He admitted this plainly, quite comfortable with relaying further information. 

[color=slategray]“That being said, the probability of her betrayal is low. There are several factors, but to sum it up, we are the only group that won’t selfishly turn on her. For a person acting alone, she knows burning this bridge leaves her cooperating with others who’d just as easily see her dead. Put simply, it’s not worth it. However, if something of the sort were to happen or if the Team is completely compromised during this mission, the League will act. We’ll have eyes on you, but won’t interfere in your operational conduct. That includes how you plan on executing your roles, Will and Vincent.”[/color]

[color=silver]“And what are the factors that would completely compromise the team?”[/color] Viktor asked for his personal clarification, though he was sure others might wonder.

[color=slategray]“The Team’s identification, blowing your cover.”[/color]
