Default Re: Why espionage is to powerful

Is there a race ability that makes you immune to Intel, but also prevents you from using it?

I've never understood how a race like the Borg or the Arachnids from Starfire could possibly infiltrate ANY empire. Some races stick out like a sore thumb!

quote:

A security guard is doing his regular rounds of the Pentagon. He hears a noise in one of the rooms, and goes to investigate. He pulls out his flashlight and gun, and creeps into the room. Inside the lights are dim, but he makes out the shape of a giant black starfish, at least 2 meters tall, bent over a computer. He looks at the screen, and sees that the creature is attaching classified ship designs to an email. The security guard decides to confront it.

"Ahem. Um, are you supposed to be here?"

The starfish tensed for second, then its eye stalks turned to focus on the intruder. Without saying anything, it reached for an ID badge on its leg and handed it to the guard. It read:

General Arach Nid
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency

"Sorry to interrupt you General Nid," the guard said. "Carry on." He backed out of the room and continued his rounds.
