"Recruiting is built upon knowing those you want to recruit", she explained. "We need to know their character inside and out. Our recruitment is built over months, sometimes even years, getting to know a person. We do not present ourselves to them, unless we know them to be the kind of people who would never betray that trust we put in them. We need them to be someone we can confide ourselves to."

She made a short pause. "The information and intel we withhold and share amongst our networks could be worth a fortune in the wrong hands. And people could easily betray us for that, if the price is right. It's not just for our own sake, but for the sake of countless of settlements, factions, and communities spread all across the continent. Information of what their security is like, locations, caravan routes, inhabitants, if there is anything of particular value in the communities. Every little detail we have in our records and network is of value to someone. Hence all the secrecy and discretion. We gain a few new members every year, but lose their amount two times over to everything these wastelands can throw at us."

She looked rather distraught. "Trust is a fickle thing."
