Bernadette McDonald: Staring daggers You're like a bad penny, always turning up. Planning to chase me again, or got a new hobby?
I'm not here for revenge, but for this... proposal.
raises an eyebrow Oh really? And what makes you think I'd be interested in your proposal?
Because it involves us going into business together!
leans back, smirking Business, huh? Well, you've certainly caught my attention. But remember, I don't play nice. What's in it for me?
You get to help lead a rebellion, and we get to be together again. Win-win
grins mischievously Well, well, well, you do know how to sweeten the deal. Alright, I'm intrigued. Tell me more about this rebellion you're planning.
It's called "Rise Up," and it aims to dismantle the oppressive regime that's taken over our country.
leans forward, eyes gleaming Dismantle the oppressive regime, huh? Sounds ambitious. What makes you think we can succeed?
We have allies, both inside and outside of the regime. People who are tired of its tyranny and want to see it fall.
leans back, fingers tapping on the table Allies, huh? Let's hear it. Who exactly are these people you're working with?
I pull out a folder and hand it to you Here, this has all the information on our allies and their roles in the rebellion.
takes the folder, flipping through the pages Hmm, interesting. Looks like we've got quite the diverse group here.
Indeed. And they're all eager to see the regime crumble. But we need your expertise, Bernadette. Your knowledge of the inner workings of the regime could be invaluable.
smirks Well, well, well, you've certainly got your nerve asking for my expertise. Fine, I'll help you. But remember, I'm not doing this for the thrill of it.
Of course, Bernadette. I knew you were a woman of principle. So, where do we start?
pauses, thinking We start by gathering intelligence. We need to know the layout of the regime's stronghold, their security measures, and their communication networks.
Do you have any ideas on how we can gather that information?
smirks Oh, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve. We'll start by recruiting spies within their ranks.
And how do we do that, without them suspecting?
grins mischievously We use their own resources against them.
By infiltrating their ranks with undercover agents?
nods approvingly Exactly. We find individuals within their ranks who are disillusioned with the regime and recruit them as double agents.
Where do we find these double agents?
smirks Oh, we won't have to look too far. There are always those eager to betray their own kind for a chance at power.
What about the ones who refuse to betray their regime?
leans in closer, voice low and dangerous Trust me, there's always a way to persuade them.
