"Uncle, you can't be suspecting a problem with the personnel returning from the mission, can you? That seems unlikely; isn't everyone who returns checked?"
Karina was very astute in her response.
"You're right, normally there wouldn't be any issues, but you never know. However, we can't investigate openly, as it would cause panic among the troops. You should know how my concealing the infection caused dissatisfaction among the lower-ranked soldiers. If we start dredging up the past now, they'll think I'm trying to exclude..."
Spade's brow was also tightly knitted.
"So, what do I need to do?"
"I need you to investigate all suspicious personnel covertly. I have a list of roughly filtered names here."
As he spoke, Spade handed a document to Karina.
"Understood."
Karina nodded in acknowledgment.
She opened the file and looked at the list and photos, her expression growing more and more astonished.
