This Mission: We suspect RED Group Singalong Choir leader (sadistic hindrance, amicable, self-interested, ordinary), who's infiltrating a Internal Security firm for Internal Security, of being a double-agent for recently-shanghaied innocent bystander, in waaay over his head. Infiltrate the firm and see where his allegiance lies.
Outfitting: PLC: Serv-Yourself warehouse that makes every citizen find his own equipment.
Debriefing: The debriefing officer is dead on arrival, seated at an empty desk in a plain room, and no one arrives to replace him.
