			===Preparation===

	[[Pendragon]] [[Anthony Trac]] was selected for the task. At 73, he appeared at first-glance to be a less-than-ideal candidate. Time, it was reasoned, would take care of him fairly soon. But Trac was a Pendragon, the sort of career one doesn't get by dying easily or young. He was more fit than the average 50-year-old, and a crafty old man to boot. He was level-headed, and had the right profile for the job. Most importantly, he had the ability to walk tall while knowing an assassin's bullet was looking for him.

The operation was a lengthy 'sting' to expose the existence of the [[Society of Assassins]], of which rumors had begun to surface in A.Y. 2217. The first stage of the investigation, by the [[Foundation]] and various [[Alliance]] agencies, took 5 years, and seemed to indicate that a vast network did exist.
