Espionage Squad

[leverageintceo]

Parker has been quietly biding her time, reading people's posts on the comm network and watching them on missions and around Legion World (from the vents, probably, because...well, she's Parker), gathering intel on who might be good at sneaky maybe-not-so-above-board kind of shenanigans. Because Parker has done her reading on the Legion and knows that there used to be an Espionage Squad, and they really could have used one on the mission that turned into Murderworld.

Now, this is Parker, so she's thinking of it more along the lines of her own crew back home, so she'll be looking for not just hackers and sneaky people, but also people who are good actors ('grifters') and potentially other 'masterminds', though only if they've also demonstrated teamwork abilities. She's been on the lookout for skills, powers, and a certain moral flexibility.

So my question for you: which of your characters may have pinged her radar for any of the above?

I'll be making a post for an actual meeting once I've gathered a few names where she'll actually pitch it to them in character, but in the meantime:

Who wants to be on the Espionage Squad?

York volunteers as tribute! He's not much of a liar BUT he's a lucky security specialist with a live in AI hacker partner and a solid charm power that makes people find him believable/agreeable.

Also stealthy, plays well with others, and is in a comfortable area of moderate moral ambiguity.

As long as he doesn't flinch when he hears a direct lie, Parker can work with it. Though she'd also prefer that he didn't panic under pressure and stab the mark with a fork like she did that one time.

York and his robot-leprechaun-ghost buddy will definitely get an invite.

Azula would be an excellent choice for this type of thing (fake Kiyoshi warriors, anyone?) but I'm not sure if she's done enough to actually pique Parker's attention.

Well, a lot of the stuff Parker would have been noticing took place "off-screen" as it were, so if you want her to get an invite, Parker can have seen SOMETHING. Even if it's just a matter of "I can tell you're related to Zuko and his first instinct upon arrival was to escape into the ventilation shafts, so your family clearly doesn't raise morons" ;)

Excellent. Azula would definitely have been basically casing Legionworld not long after arriving, which Parker could have noted.

Oh yeah, Parker DEFINITELY notices that kind of shit. Especially since she did it herself.

I would expect nothing less of her!

Pidge is SUPER good at hacking and invisibility and also she's tiny and at least a little bit crazy!

What's more perfect?
