# Mission 5 "Insider Trading" - Planning Summary & Implementation Guide
|
||||
|
||||
## Mission Overview
|
||||
|
||||
**Mission ID:** M05
|
||||
**Title:** Insider Trading
|
||||
**Duration:** 70-90 minutes
|
||||
**Difficulty:** Tier 2 (Intermediate)
|
||||
**Type:** Investigation / Social Engineering / VM Exploitation
|
||||
|
||||
**ENTROPY Cell:** Insider Threat Initiative
|
||||
**SecGen Scenario:** "Feeling Blu" (Bludit CMS exploitation)
|
||||
**VM Flags:** 4 flags (reconnaissance, exploitation, data discovery, Architect communications)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Mission 5 "Insider Trading" is a corporate espionage investigation where players infiltrate **Quantum Dynamics Corporation** to identify and stop an insider exfiltrating classified quantum cryptography research. The insider, **David Torres**, was systematically targeted by ENTROPY's Insider Threat Initiative due to crushing medical debt ($180K) from his wife Elena's terminal cancer.
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Design Innovation:** Torres is a **sympathetic villain** - a desperate father manipulated by ENTROPY, not a true believer. He believes he's helping "investigative journalists" expose defense corruption, unaware his data is being sold to foreign governments (China, Russia, Iran) for $68 million, which will result in 12-40 intelligence officer deaths.
|
||||
|
||||
**Core Gameplay Loop:**
|
||||
1. **Investigation** - Review security logs, identify suspicious patterns
|
||||
2. **Social Engineering** - Clone badges, interview employees, build trust
|
||||
3. **Evidence Gathering** - Search Torres' office, discover medical bills/journal/communications
|
||||
4. **VM Exploitation** - Hack Bludit CMS server for 4 flags proving ENTROPY involvement
|
||||
5. **Evidence Correlation** - Synthesize physical + digital evidence at Evidence Board
|
||||
6. **Confrontation** - Present evidence to Torres, reveal manipulation, make critical choice
|
||||
|
||||
**Four Endings:**
|
||||
1. **Turn Double Agent** (S-Rank) - Torres becomes SAFETYNET asset, helps expose 47 other targets
|
||||
2. **Arrest** - By-the-book justice, Torres faces espionage charges
|
||||
3. **Sympathetic Release** - Let Torres go with warning (moral mercy, operational risk)
|
||||
4. **Public Exposure** - Leak to media, destroy ENTROPY's program + Torres' life

## Character Profiles
|
||||
|
||||
### David Torres (Primary Antagonist - Sympathetic Villain)
|
||||
**Role:** Cryptography Lead, Quantum Dynamics Corporation
|
||||
**Age:** 38
|
||||
**Family:** Wife Elena (Stage 3 cancer), Daughter Sofia (11), Son Miguel (8)
|
||||
**Debt:** $180K medical bills
|
||||
|
||||
**Characterization:**
|
||||
- PhD in cryptography, top of his field
|
||||
- Clean security record (TS/SCI clearance for 8 years)

|
||||
Torres: *looks up, hopeful but cautious* What do you mean?
|
||||
|
||||
You: Work for us. Feed ENTROPY false data. Help us identify the other 47 targets.
|
||||
|
||||
{found_target_criteria:
|

## Campaign Integration
|
||||
|
||||
### If Torres Turned (Double Agent Path):
|
||||
**Impact on M6-M10:**
|
||||
- Torres provides intelligence on 22 active insider placements
|
||||
- Identifies 47 targets under evaluation
|
||||
- SAFETYNET can warn/protect vulnerable employees before recruitment
|
||||
- Torres' ongoing cooperation provides ENTROPY intel throughout campaign
|
||||
- Elena's treatment funded (positive moral outcome)
|
||||
|
||||
**Mission 6+ References:**
|
||||
```ink
|
||||
=== m06_briefing ===
|
||||
Agent 0x99: Thanks to Torres, we identified three more insiders before ENTROPY activated them.
|
||||
Agent 0x99: His intelligence is proving invaluable.
|
||||
{elena_treatment_funded:
|
||||
Agent 0x99: And his wife's treatment is going well. He's motivated to help.
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### If Torres Arrested:
|
||||
**Impact on M6-M10:**
|
||||
- Standard espionage prosecution
|
||||
- No ongoing intelligence from insider program
|
||||
- ENTROPY continues recruiting (47 targets still vulnerable)
|
||||
- By-the-book justice, but missed strategic opportunity
|
||||
|
||||
### If Torres Released (Sympathetic):
|
||||
**Impact on M6-M10:**
|
||||
- Operational risk (Torres could be re-recruited)
|
||||
- Elena's treatment still in jeopardy (Torres remains desperate)
|
||||
- ENTROPY likely marks Torres as compromised, burns him
|
||||
- Moral mercy, but strategic weakness
|
||||
|
||||
### If Program Exposed Publicly:
|
||||
**Impact on M6-M10:**
|
||||
- ENTROPY's Insider Threat Initiative burned
|
||||
- 22 active placements compromised
|
||||
- 47 targets now aware, unlikely to be recruited
|
||||
- Torres' life destroyed (public traitor)
|
||||
- ENTROPY retaliates in future missions

## Design Philosophy Summary
|
||||
|
||||
**Core Tension:** Justice vs. Mercy
|
||||
**Moral Complexity:** Villain who's actually a victim
|
||||
**Player Agency:** Choice matters, consequences tracked across campaign
|
||||
**Evidence-Based Gameplay:** Investigation unlocks confrontation, not arbitrary timer
|
||||
**Hybrid Architecture:** VM challenges correlate with physical evidence
|
||||
|
||||
**What Makes This Mission Unique:**
|
||||
1. **Sympathetic Antagonist:** Torres can be turned, not just stopped
|
||||
2. **Systematic Evil:** ENTROPY recruits desperate people, weaponizes suffering
|
||||
3. **Concrete Stakes:** Specific casualties (12-40), specific victims (47 targets)
|
||||
4. **Moral Choice:** No "right" answer - arrest (justice), turn (strategy), release (mercy), expose (nuclear option)
|
||||
5. **Campaign Impact:** Choice affects M6-M10 (Torres as asset or missed opportunity)
|
||||
