Vince Ares.
SSI Agent X-77. Licence to kill.

After a lengthy investigation the Imperial Guard determined that radical elements within the Syndicalist Party had been responsible for the assassination of Emperor George VII, his eldest son Prince William, his daughter-in-law Princess Anne, and the attempted assassination of his youngest son, Prince Andrew, now Emperor Andrew III. It is believed that this was done in response to the then newly-elected Social Commonwealth government imposing a crackdown on the nation-wide miners' strike.
Further investigation indicated that the Syndicalist Party outsourced the assassination to radical terrorist Jeffery Largo, a CCC national. At this juncture the Imperial Guard handed the investigation over the SSI. The SSI has dispatched Agent X-77 to the CCC to find Mr. Largo and extract him to either Canada or the Confederate States, at which point he will be transported back to the United Empire to stand trial.

CCC Eastern Seaboard. New Haddyn

The lights of New Haddyn stood out against the darkness of the night. Vince Ares emerged from the water near a dock on New Haddyn harbour. He'd been dropped under the cover of night, his transport slipping between CCC patrols. With any luck it was already back in Canadian air space.
He discarded his wetsuit almost as quickly as he had disappeared into the shadows, now wearing a black zipper jacket and cargo pants, not enough to appear as tactical, but tactical enough to get the job done. He opened a small waterproof pouch, containing forged CCC citizenship documents.
Quickly, he made his way up to the docks, seeing only one person in his immediate area, a stumbling dock worker, obviously drunk. With little remorse for the man's self-imposed condition Ares knocked him out, stealing his cap, which he then wore slightly pulled down over his face.
Silently, he made his way to the city-proper. The Battery Revolutionary Complex was where he had to get to, a government filing house where he'd be able to find information on Jeffery Largo's location within the continent spanning socialist state.

Beaconsfield, United Empire of Inglo-Scotia

Erik Destler casually lit up yet another Bower & Fern cigarette.
"Careful Erik, those can kill you" the figure opposite Destler's desk commented.
"I'm at the point in my life where it doesn't matter" the 67 year old Social Commonwealth Minister of Foreign Affairs commented.
"Better them then me at any rate" the figure mused. "I want to know what a SSI X agent is doing in the CCC. The SSI pursuing Largo could expose everything we've worked to create."
"It's not ideal, I admit" Destler replied, "but we were left with no other choice. Once Largo had been 'implicated' we had let the SSI attempt an extraction. As far as the public is concerned the man killed George VII. If the government, if the Emperor, blocked the investigation at this juncture it could cause serious problems."
"More so then actually confronting the man we framed for an assassination?" the figure retorted.

"Yes, as far as the Emperor is concerned. The circumstances of our plan's fulfillment, him miraculously emerging as the soul survivor of an assassination attempt on his entire family to claim the throne, set off red flags, if you'll pardon the pun, among certain fringe elements. That could quickly become a problem if the Emperor is seen as blocking an attempt to bring his father and brother's killer to justice. We had to authorize SSI's mission. If the public found out we hadn't gone down every possible avenue to apprehend those responsible, things could get uncomfortable for his Imperial Majesty. Besides, Largo is taken care of."
"Yes, yes, I know. I'm just here to warn you, his memory better be as suspect as you claim it will be. We don't have a firm grip on the SSI yet. If Largo says anything to them that can be used against..."
"Really," Destler responded, irritated, "you must give us more credit then you do."
"I give you all the credit you deserve" the figure replied, "I just get rightfully worried when risks such as these are taken."
"Noted. Now if you don't mind" Destler said, puffing a cloud of smoke in the direction of the figure, "I have work to do."
The figure stood and began to leave. As he was at the door he turned around. "Erik, send the Emperor and Prime Minister my regards."

Battery Revolutionary Complex, New Haddyn

"Papers comrade" the uniformed guard asked as Ares approached the Battery Revolutionary Complex.
"Certainly" Ares replied, hiding his accent, reaching past his forged documents and slipping his right hand into a concealed set of brass knuckles. With lighting speed he pulled his hand from his jacket, punching the lone guard in the face. Ares grabbed the machine pistol from the guard's unconscious body, quickly moving into the building. There was a single large portrait of Bill Haywood, the first Premier of the CCC following the Second American Revolution that toppled the DSA government, in the complex's lobby. Otherwise it was empty.
Finding an elevator he pressed the up button, unsure of where the files on Largo were located, but sure that if he had to make an escape he would rather be several stories up then trapped underground. The door the elevator opened, revealing a single file clerk. The clerk looked shocked upon seeing Ares, who quickly pointed the machine pistol in his direction. "Scream and you die" he hissed. "Take me to the files of government operatives, without running into anyone else if possible" he added.
The frightened clerk nodded as he readjusted his glasses, motioning for Ares to join him in the elevator. Agent X-77 did so, keeping his gun aimed on the clerk. The clerk pressed the button for the third basement level, to Ares' frustration.
As the elevator's doors slowly opened upon arriving at its subterranean destination he pressed himself up against the wall to avoid being seen from outside, gun still aimed at the clerk. "Remember" he whispered, "not a sound."
The clerk slowly exited the elevator, and Ares peeked out to see if the coast was clear. When he was sure it was he followed, gun aimed at the centre of the clerk's back. The clerk nodded at a single door along a long, dim hallways marked "Personnel Records- Government Deployment."
"Thank you, you've been an immeasurable help" Ares said, before knocking him out with the butt of the machine pistol.
Ares kicked the door in, assuming it was locked, brandishing the pistol. The room seemed empty, with a few dim overhead lights illuminating the dusty filing cabinets. Frantically, yet efficiently, he scanned the designations on the cabinets, until he found one that looked promising. Rooting through the files, he found the one he was looking for. Jefferey Largo. Committee of State and Revolutionary Security. Currently de-activated. Location, Denver, Colorado.
"Oh Colorado, I feel it in the wind" he smirked, quickly returning the file to its proper place. Silently, he made his way out of the complex, weapon hidden in his jacket next to his forged papers. Papers which he'd need to travel more then halfway across the vast socialist republic.
