MISSION DIRECTIVE

Subject: Covert insertion of Despedidas Asset Ing Eclipsis into the Zatrian National Republic (ZNR) to manipulate and neutralize adversarial capabilities.

Operative Code Name: Feather
Asset Control: Despedidas Military Command
Primary Handlers:

• Amlooi Alvaldi, Royal Counsellor, Despedidas High Command
• Porter Ehrveil, Secretary of Defense, Ehrengard Royal Council

Objective: To position Ing Eclipsis as a disillusioned, independent military leader in proximity to the ZNR, leveraging their perceived estrangement from Despedidas and Ehrengard to infiltrate ZNR leadership. Ing’s role is to establish trust, feed calibrated disinformation, and destabilize ZNR military and diplomatic strategies.

MISSION BACKGROUND

The Zatrian National Republic (ZNR) has escalated its anti-Ehrengard rhetoric and shown increasing interest in destabilizing the Ehrengard-Despedidas alliance. Intelligence indicates ZNR leadership is both highly skeptical and opportunistically ambitious, making them prone to exploiting perceived vulnerabilities.

Ing Eclipsis, a high-ranking figure in the Despedidas military with extensive ties to Ehrengard through cooperative defense initiatives, has been selected for their operational acumen and ability to project credibility as a defecting insider.

By creating a controlled narrative of dissent and an independent territorial claim, Ing will be strategically positioned as an asset the ZNR cannot ignore, while continuing to report back to Despedidas handlers and the Ehrengard Office of Strategic Command.

OPERATIONAL PHASES

PHASE I: CONTROLLED SEPARATION

1. Staging the Fallout:

• A carefully coordinated dispute between Ing Eclipsis and Despedidas High Command is executed during internal military exercises. The dispute is based on fabricated disagreements over strategy, with Ing accusing leadership of compromising Despedidas sovereignty by deferring excessively to Ehrengard.
• Ehrengard intelligence will feign concern over a "potential breach," ensuring the narrative appears plausible. The staged tension must be communicated discreetly through Ehrengardian diplomatic channels to ensure controlled escalation. Only the Emperor and SECDEF shall be aware of the true nature of the dispute.

2. Declaration of Independence:

• Ing establishes an autonomous territory adjacent to ZNR-controlled borders under the guise of forming an independent military protectorate. This location will serve as the operational base for building ZNR interest while maintaining plausible deniability.

3. Independent Military Initiatives:

• Ing conducts visible recruitment efforts, leveraging their military reputation to attract defectors and mercenaries. Controlled intelligence “leaks” will suggest Ing’s actions are motivated by deep dissatisfaction with Despedidas policies. In addition, Ing will hang ZNR propaganda at his new base.

PHASE II: INITIAL CONTACT

1. Seeding Interest:

• Intelligence planted through neutral intermediaries will hint at Ing’s independence and their valuable knowledge of Ehrengard-Despedidas military infrastructure. This will subtly reach ZNR leadership, creating intrigue.

2. Simulated Vulnerability:

• False intelligence provided by Ehrengard will indicate panic over a potential “leak” from Despedidas, further encouraging ZNR to pursue Ing as an asset.

3. Controlled Outreach:

• Handlers will ensure ZNR’s leadership believes the approach is their initiative. Key ZNR operatives will be subtly influenced to propose Ing as a recruit for their intelligence and strategic divisions.

PHASE III: INFILTRATION AND INFLUENCE

1. Establishing Credibility:

• Ing will gradually offer actionable yet non-critical intelligence as determined by his handlers to gain the ZNR’s trust. Information will be tailored to appear valuable while subtly misdirecting ZNR resources and strategic priorities.
• Ing will avoid over-enthusiasm to match the skepticism of ZNR leadership, ensuring they are perceived as cautious but sincere.

2. Escalating Integration:

• Ing will use their position to insert false narratives about Ehrengard-Despedidas disunity and vulnerabilities, influencing ZNR operations while keeping handlers informed of all developments.

3. Strategic Sabotage:

• Ing will encourage ZNR to focus resources on fabricated threats and futile objectives, weakening their operational capacity.

PHASE IV: EXIT AND REINTEGRATION

1. Strategic Departure:
To ensure that the Zatrian National Republic (ZNR) perceives Ing’s exit as entirely unrelated to their covert operations, the departure will be carefully orchestrated to align with Ing’s natural progression as an independent figure rather than as an infiltrator. The following steps will preserve Ing’s credibility while setting the stage for their reintegration into Despedidas leadership:

• Formation of an Independent Alliance: Ing will announce their intent to refocus on expanding their independent military protectorate, citing the growing need to solidify their regional influence and stabilize contested territories. This narrative positions Ing as a self-directed leader with evolving priorities, consistent with their established persona.
• Respectful Parting: Ing will formally disengage from active collaboration with the ZNR, framing their departure as a strategic necessity rather than a rejection of the ZNR’s trust. Messages of mutual respect and a willingness to maintain informal communication will reinforce the legitimacy of this transition.

2. Controlled Peripheral Engagement:
Even after leaving direct involvement with the ZNR, Ing will maintain occasional, low-level interactions under the guise of mutual regional interests. These interactions will be devoid of operational significance, serving only to cement the ZNR’s perception of Ing as an independent and credible figure.

3. Reintegration into Despedidas Leadership:
Upon fulfilling the objectives of their undercover mission, Ing will covertly re-establish formal ties with Despedidas leadership. This reintegration will be staged as a reconciliation driven by shared national interests, carefully avoiding any indications of duplicity.

• Despedidas Coordination: Despedidas High Command, led by Amlooi Alvaldi and Giorgio Eclipsis, will facilitate Ing’s reintegration into military leadership, highlighting their independent accomplishments and renewed commitment to the kingdom’s goals.
• Gradual Advancement: Ing’s return to a leadership position will be deliberately paced to avoid raising suspicions. Their ascent will appear as a natural progression of their capabilities and influence.

4. Intelligence Debriefing:
Ing will deliver a classified intelligence report to Despedidas and Ehrengard leadership, including any trusted advisors who were not privy to the original plan. This debrief will encompass ZNR strategies, vulnerabilities, and internal dynamics critical to future operations.

• Future Strategic Planning: The intelligence gathered will inform joint Despedidas-Ehrengard strategic initiatives, maintaining the secrecy of Ing’s role and ensuring operational continuity.

HANDLER PROTOCOLS

• Porter Ehrveil will oversee operational coordination between Despedidas and Ehrengard.
• Amlooi Alvaldi will act as Ing’s direct contact, managing secure communications and providing real-time support.

All communications will occur in designated Discord channels established under the joint Ehrengard-Despedidas SIGINT framework.

CONTINGENCY PLANS

1. Premature Discovery:
   • Controlled leaks will redirect suspicion toward rival factions within the ZNR, deflecting attention from Ing’s activities.
2. Failure to Gain Trust:
   • Should initial efforts fail, handlers will employ alternative assets to reinforce Ing’s credibility or propose a secondary approach to ZNR leadership.

CONCLUSION

Operation Naptime is a joint endeavor to neutralize the growing threat of the Zatrian National Republic while protecting the strategic alliance between Ehrengard and Despedidas. Ing Eclipsis’s unique position and capabilities make him perfect for this mission, which will safeguard the interests of both nations and affirm their dominance on the geopolitical stage.
