Possibilities Abound.

Are any other spies that Might be or Should be included in such a Super Secret and Clandestine Meeting/Adventure.

I know it's a long-shot, but I'd personally love to read this interaction.

By all accounts maybe Uncle Jacques should be included.

That was my first thought, too.

From what has been written, and inferred, he was rather formidable when he was a young, junior officer.

I kept waiting for some sort of 'professional courtesy' or nod of recognition of one pro to another when he was prepping Victor and Co for the Mesa op.

Then again, while he was in the game and definitely a professional, he really wasn't moving and shaking at the level of Victor and Anton.

Umm, shouldn't this topic have a Spoiler notice in the title? :?

No, not really. This is a "What If...?" thread about a "Spies of All Nations" joint operation that is never going to happen in anything written by RFC.

And in that spirit...

Anismovna should be added to the list. Sure she's a pretty despicable villain, but she's good at what she does.

Answers! I got lots of answers!

(Now if I could just find the right questions.)

Not really.


The only real plot reference so far was mine. It refers to a book that's been out over 2 years (you don't discuss new releases without spoiler warnings for at least 6 months after the release and I prefer at least a year) and is about as vague as it gets. All you can get out of it is that Uncle Jacques was, somehow, involved in prepping Victor, Zilwiki and, possibly (since "and Co" is quite vague itself), nameless others for a covert op on Mesa. If you have read any of the recent books, the fact that they went to Mesa at least once is already known.

I can see her earning a seat at the table. Probably one where everyone can see her hands at all times but still at the table
