Denn Morra
A Fixer who runs information out of Korath Station's Deep Deeps.
Mid-forties, sharp-featured, in a suit that costs more than the stall she is sitting in. She takes the back booth at The Long Table on Level 7, does not eat the noodles, and does not stand when you sit down.
Denn runs information out of the Deep Deeps. Eleven days ago seventeen people were disconnected from the Kadiss grid simultaneously, every case logged as equipment failure. Three of the seventeen were her assets.
She will pay 2,000 rek per character for a discreet investigation, hand over the seventeen names, the last Kadiss signal on three of them, and a Level 14 contact called Tess Varek. She will not say which three were hers, and the refusal is not a bargaining position.
What she will say about the Deep Deeps is that they are wrong down there, that people have been whispering for months, that there are new faces who do not stay. She will not say more because she does not know more, and she has built a career on the difference.
She does not go below Level 10 herself. She arranges for others to do that part, and she is entirely candid that this is what she is doing.

Special Abilities
She Arranges, She Does Not Go
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
actionCost | passive |
name | She Arranges, She Does Not Go |
description: Denn will not descend below Level 10 for any sum, and no Persuasion or Intimidation check moves her. What she will do instead is find somebody who will, which is the entire service. Player-visible: pushing her for personal involvement produces a name and a rate, never a yes.
The Three She Will Not Name
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
actionCost | passive |
name | The Three She Will Not Name |
description: Three of the seventeen disconnected were Denn's own assets. She will not identify them, because naming a burned asset in a hive is how the next one gets burned. Player-visible: the refusal holds under every approach, and a party who works out which three from the list independently gains her permanent regard rather than an argument.
