Profound Disappointment
In the end, Mackie Cire really didn't know all that much. Mackie and 33 C functioned as an isolated cell within a larger network of unknown alignment and origin.
Ves vaguely suspected that 33 C and its overarching network may have functioned as offshoots of a foreign intelligence agency. Unfortunately, he obtained no proof to back up this assertion.
After questioning some more about 33 C, Ves and his Kinner staff learned that the cell only received a modest amount of funding and training. The lack of generosity reflected the lack of information the members of the cell received.
A strict hierarchy existed where only the cell leader maintained contact with the larger network.
Strike team leaders such as Mackie Cire only occupied a middle position within the cell. His responsibilities solely covered wetworks. Other aspects such as intelligence gathering, analysis and more fell under the purview of other cell members.
