GEAR CHARACTER NOTES
A Tragedy, an Opportunity A pretty young woman — a "girl next door" type — sits in the Hoffman Institute waiting room, an open recruitment brochure in her trembling hands. She is quietly crying. A CNN segment from the morning plays over and over in her head:Breaking news from Vienna: an apparent assassination by the Russian government. Doctor Igor Viktorovich Vachkov, professor of neuropsychology at Saint Petersburg State University, was found unresponsive in his hotel room this morning and died later at the hospital. According to forensic medical examiners, his symptoms were consistent with neurological poisons used in recent assassinations of Russian opposition leaders. Toxicology reports are still forthcoming… It makes no sense! Russian: "Uncle" Dyadya Igor had never been political, never undermined the state or the president. How could they!? had been surprised when the driver brought her here instead of a safehouse. Nothing about this place or the people seems Russian: "Service," in this case part of the Russian words for Foreign Intelligence Service, a peer to the CIA. Sluzhba ."Please, join me in private, Miss Orlova," he says."Please, have a seat," he says, gesturing toward the chairs. She chooses the one opposite the door and sits. "I would offer you a beverage, but I doubt you'd accept it." She nods in affirmation."You've read the brochure?" he says, pointing to the brochure in her hand. She nods."We'd like you to join our team." "I assume this 'Hoffman Institute' is a front for the CIA? Mr. …?" she says, trying to read his mind but getting … nothing , a wall. Talented? Focus on the basics, then. Body language seems genuine — eyes open but not too open, pupils normal, relaxed orbicularis, relaxed trapezii, relaxed hands — a man without an ulterior agenda and at ease in his environment. Scars on the knuckles, though, a man of action. Wedding band indent on the ring finger. American accent, western Tennessee possibly. "Actually, no, not CIA," he says, ignoring the request for his name. "We're a non-governmental agency – genuinely non-governmental." "Katya Petronovna Orlova, Yefreitor rank, Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation," he summarizes aloud. "Born 1995, Saint Petersburg. Birth parents unknown. Adopted by Pytor and Galina Orlova. Parents divorced 2000. Your father emigrated back to Ukraine, and you became estranged. Your mother raised you alone until her death in 2007. Ordinary stuff." "What caught our interest was your ongoing relationship with Doctor Igor Viktorovich Vachkov. First, you were a child patient of his. Then the state appointed him your guardian when your mother died. "Of course, we know that he was a research assistant to Doctor Leonid Leonidovich Vasiliev , his dissertation advisor, and later worked on the top secret Soviet Bindi Program conducting research into ESP, eugenics, and their military applications. Officially, Bindi was discontinued and ESP research disavowed as a dead end when the Russian Federation came to power. Unofficially, the Bindi Program was continued and renamed Project Zreniye, with Doctor Vachkov as director. "So why would Doctor Vachkov treat you as a child patient? He wasn't a clinical psychologist. Why become your guardian? Why become your advisor when you entered the psychology program at Saint Petersburg State University? We've been keeping tabs on you for many years, Miss Orlova.Russian acronym for the Foreign Intelligence Service SVR moved you around for a couple years, we assume on junior, ad hoc assignments. Then eight months ago, you were hired as a massage therapist by the DC Ritz Carlton under the alias 'Stacy Marie Johnson'. Your first rezidenty assignment?" "OK so far. Let me guess at your talents and value to the SVR. You are a success of Project Zreniye in that you have genuine ESP abilities. Yes, we know ESP is real in some cases, even other paranormal abilities. Over your lifetime, Doctor Vachov has studied you, trained you, and overseen your training by others to access and control your psychic abilities. Further, he ensured you got an excellent education. Perhaps he was a father figure as well?" Empathy or faking it? "As an SVR field agent, your main role is to observe targets, both as a psychologist and a psychic, developing their psychological profiles, befriending them as necessary, and gaining actionable intelligence when possible. Is that about right?" "I will not betray the Motherland!" she says, voice cracking, fighting back tears."Our focus is not political. Generally. We will not debrief you on prior assignments for the SVR. And we would avoid giving you Institute assignments that conflict your loyalties. Here." He slides the manila envelope toward her."This is our gift, whether you accept our offer or not. We'll also give you a change of clothes and hair, and arrange transport wherever you wish in the USA," he says. "You don't have a future back in Russia, I think." A gift? Hard pressure, then soft, eh, Still, a new identity... "Here's what I expect will happen if you report back to your handler. You will lose your assignment and be sent to Moscow for months of interrogation about your relationship with Doctor Vachov and whatever you might know related to the reasons he was assassinated. At best, your government career is limited or over. At worst, you'll be killed or face years, even decades in prison for conspiracy or some trumped-up charge. Sound about right?" "I don't want to go back. I won't betray the Motherland, but I'll never forgive the Service or the government for murdering him," she says, surprising herself with her openness, frankness, and resolution."OK, so you can take that new identity and start over somewhere in the US as a massage therapist, maybe become a licensed counselor, even go for a doctorate. Get married. Have kids. Why not? Not a bad life. ... Or you can join the Hoffman Institute and apply all your talent, experience, and training toward a mission you'll find personally rewarding and of service to all Humanity." He stands. "Come. Let me show you around, Miss Peters , show you a little of what we do, what we're up against."
