“Afternoon. Director Erin Delaney-Rayner. Pleasure’s all mine. I won’t waste our time with pleasantries nor will I be wasting breath on company benefits, bleating some brainwashing bullshit about how this is your second chance... We both know there’s no dental insurance or gym memberships for Rogue Row Recruits. Frankly, we’ve barely got a functioning Nespresso Machine.
I’ll start by thanking you for your time and consideration, Agent. It’s not easy for any of us being here. Deputy General and I spent an unnerving amount of time scouring the database for… Well… Agents like you.
The brief is simple. MET’s in the shit. Deeply. We’re the rescue squad. Buck stops with us now. Guess the squeaky clean ain’t cleaning up. Funny that… We’ll be working entirely out of this miserable office building with no access to MI5 resources nor staff nor a working boiler. It’s just us. But I’m getting ahead of myself. And anyway, you read the Info Pack we couriered, right? Disposed of it as instructed, yes? Good.
Let’s start with the elephant in the room, shall we? Tell me about why you’re at Rogue Row and not at HQ?
- Because I submitted a post-mortem report that didn’t change when the surrounding circumstances became uncomfortable. I was asked to review it. I did. I was asked to reframe it. I couldn’t. The findings were accurate. That didn’t stop being true.
Alright. That tracks with what I’ve got on file… Want to tell me why you’re willing to drop back into the Field? Sure you’ve got the minerals this time?
- I don’t think the work was ever the issue. I liked the work. I still do. What I struggled with was being asked to treat evidence as negotiable. Rogue Row sounds like it values function over appearances. That matters to me.
When you were based at MI5, what was your speciality? And when in your career did it transpire that this was where your talents would reside?
- Custody deaths and sensitive post-mortems cases that arrived with explanations already attached. I became very familiar with separating what the body demonstrated from what people hoped it would suggest.
Alright. That’s what I thought. Your file speaks volumes but I really like to hear straight from the horses mouth. Now… This branch is going to be a fucked-up hybrid of Major Crimes, Anti-Terrorism and Specialised Surveillance/Reconnaissance… Are you prepared to be spread so thin you can barely sleep? Barely eat? We’re going to be living and breathing this, this shit right here. Are you prepared to make the sacrifices necessary for the assignment?
- I won’t pretend that’s ideal. But I’ve learned that tiredness fades. Compromise tends to linger.
Says here you were one of MI5s most coveted agents… Seems everyone at HQ wanted a slice of you then no one would touch you with a fucking barge pole. What’s going to hold you back from being the biggest regret they’ve ever had?
- Nothing, if you’re expecting me to lie. Everything, if you aren’t.
Great. Perfect. Thanks so much for your time today. That’ll be all. I’ll be in touch. Fix the Nespresso Machine on your way out, if you can.
- I did notice the Nespresso machine on the way in. If it’s the descaling light, that’s an easy fix.
