As they continued their search, Renée’s eyes narrowed at a small, inconspicuous device tucked behind a console. She carefully extracted it and held it up for J.J. to see.
“Look at this. A listening device,” she said, her voice a mix of anger and realization.
J.J. leaned in closer. “Looks like we’ve found our leak. But how many more are there?”

J.J. read the message and nodded, a sly smile forming on his lips. “I like the way you think, Renée. Let’s do it.”
In the following hours, Renée and J.J. began their deception, speaking loudly and clearly as they moved about the station.
“I can’t believe the Ramhar Remnant is behind all of this,” J.J. said, shaking his head dramatically. “After their last defeat, I thought they were done.”
Renée nodded in agreement, her voice equally exaggerated. “And those implants, turning people into zombies? This is bigger than we thought.”
They continued to weave an elaborate and ridiculous tale, knowing full well that any informed person would see through the lies.
