"How did you compile this?"
"By being a former operative in a school full of people who don't know how to be watched. The academy's surveillance training is amateur. Most of the people on that list don't know I've been observing them for two months."
"This is — a lot."
"It's incomplete. There are at least four more I haven't confirmed yet. Probably five. I'll add them when I'm sure."
"Why are you giving me this?"
"Because the team needs to know. I've already given a copy to Ren. He's working it into his framework. I'm giving you a copy because some of these names you'll need to interact with personally, and you should know what they're doing while you do."
She paused. Didn't look away.
"Also because giving it to you is part of operational trust. I hand you the list. You don't ask for it. The exchange happens because we're on the same side. That's the operating principle of the team. I'm formalizing it."
"You're telling me you're committed."
