The Day Guard,

Cornelius Crane video calls Chloe Armitage... a brief discussion ensues.

Crane's eyes narrowed. “Your next mission is to find and kill Anton Slayne, that is your only mission now.”
“Excuse me, Sir, don’t you mean Arthur Slayne?” Chloe asked, momentarily nonplussed.
“No. I mean Anton Slayne, his grandson.”
“Yes, Sir. I presume this is the same person known as Anton Smith in the Panopticon, who is with the Mirovar force team - is that correct?”
“Yes. Why didn’t you know about Anton Slayne?”
“He wasn’t there when I went to the house in Boston. Marcus and I broke in and waited for William and Anna Slayne to return from a Boston University faculty dinner.”
“You should have known they had a son. The Panopticon has been compromised, the data for Anton Smith is fake.”
“Compromised? By whom?”
“Good question, it remains to be seen.” Crane stared at her. “When I find out, my punishment of the culprit will know no bounds.”
Chloe blinked, “Sir?”
“You have your orders, I expect results.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Crane closed the call.

Chloe said, "[INSERT CLUSTER F-BOMB]."

[REDACTED] - all gone...
