ADRIENNE PERRY – DETAILED VOLUME NO. 1

JANUARY – APRIL 827 A.S.

---

It was a sunny and peaceful day at Laguna Beach, Planet Los Angeles. Perry got up bright and early and sat down next to the terrace to enjoy the wind and the sight of waves landing on the sand. It was the perfect ambience for tedious work.

The Gallic War was over; and she had spent the past year tending to her family’s needs. There was no reason for her to return to her old life, she could relax, enjoy her rekindled relationship with her husband in semi-retirement. The Federal Witness Protection Program ensured their security which was important because of her politically sensitive work these past few years. Her career could just shut down right now by virtue of her age. But she was addicted to her work; it didn’t take much for anyone to figure out it was clinically unhealthy. She couldn’t live without building a new secret.

Earlier in the year, she had met with disillusioned civil servants. They weren’t really disillusioned; they just wanted Liberty to be taken in a different direction. Oh, and they didn’t want to deal with the bureaucracy. It was an entrepreneurial team.

The Control Group

The Control Group is a nationalist subversive pro-Liberty government paramilitary/intelligence organization. It exists to advance the national interests of Liberty both within and outside of its borders without the constraints of the law, rules of engagement, government bureaucracy, top-down micromanagement or diplomatic consequences. Many of its members disagree with the strategic direction of Liberty’s foreign and security policy. They believe Liberty should be more interventionist in its approach to the other Houses.

To achieve this goal, several former Liberty government officials, military and intelligence officers developed the Geostrategic Convergence Doctrine. The idea behind this doctrine is based on a book authored by Peter Zeihan titled The Accidental Superpower. Zeihan argues that the Republic of Liberty has the potential to become a superpower by controlling access to trade throughout Sirius. In addition to expanding the Liberty Navy’s size, strength and technological superiority, a network of military bases would have to be established in the independent worlds and border worlds. This would allow the Liberty Navy access to these distant regions as the bases would create a logistical supply chain to allow the Navy ships to resupply, re-arm and refuel outside of Liberty’s immediate borders. This is turn, would allow Liberty to project military force on a sector-wide scale.

During wartime, this doctrine would ensure Liberty’s national security by keeping any war as far from Liberty’s border’s as possible hence preventing an invasion of Liberty’s space by a foreign power, the way Gallia did in California (Source). During peacetime, the navy could be used to protect trade routes and civilian shipping between the houses from piracy and terrorism hence making the other houses dependent on Liberty for access to interstellar trade. Without trade, the other houses would fall behind economically.

This would create a geopolitical shift in favour of Liberty. But Perry was worried. Was she doing this because she loved the Republic of Liberty? Or was she unable to live, or breathe, without running a Black Operation?

Closing File

Their goal was to create a long term strategy to turn Liberty into a Superpower; because the whole of Sirius would be better for it. The balance of power only caused instability. The past 15 years had only brought total wars or low intensity conflicts getting in the way of trade and prosperity. At the end of it, there was no change to the balance of power. Sirius had a middle class, but not everybody could be a part of it. The balance of power had to be broken, in Liberty’s favour.

She was 44, still young but the past ten years of stressful intelligence collection meant she felt like she aged 10 years faster, as if she had just stretched too much and didn’t want to move for a while.

But her team needed funding. So it was time for her to be re-activated. She had a lead.
