So I killed a Cipher Agent the other night...
I don’t mean i accidentally walked my newest IA off a cliff again, either. I mean there was a Cipher Agent in an Exploration Mission on Corellia (Republic Side).
The mission was called “Keeping a Secret”. I’m hitting an Imperial Intelligence safe-house to retrieve stolen battle plans.... blah, blah, blah. I kill the mobs. I kill the boss. I click on the blue thing. Same-o. Same-o. No cut scene. No big explanation. There he was; an elite leading some mobs. Nothing else. And the questions keep popping into my head: Wasn’t Intelligence supposed to be dissolved at this point? Was the Cipher acting as part of the military? In the service of a Dark Lord? Were they acting without sanction when they stole the plans? Could they have been answering to Keeper and the Minister? The battle plans in question involved an upcoming attack on an Imperial supply ship called The Fortress. Could this ‘Fortress’ have been a front for a rogue Imperial Intelligence presence? Most importantly.... what was his number??? Did i just kill Cipher-10? Cipher-17? Cipher-37? “Dammit, Kira! We were supposed to ask him for his number!”
