Noxis Intelligence Unit - Confidential Dossier
*** LEVEL 1 INTELLIGENCE ***
Subject: Thornwood Empowerment Alliance (TEA)
From: Lex Graves, Senior Intelligence Officer, NIU
Dwight,
I saw the footage. That little dust-up at The Sanctuary—the one with you and your friends? It’s already making rounds online, and not in a good way. TEA knows how to spin things in their favor, and you don’t want to let them control the narrative. That’s why you’re getting this dossier. It’s time you understand what you're really up against.
The Thornwood Empowerment Alliance (TEA) isn’t just a women’s group. It’s a front for something far more dangerous, and they’ve got bigger plans for Havensport. You’ve scratched the surface—let me show you what’s underneath.
TEA's Hidden Agenda
TEA might look like a progressive women’s empowerment organisation from the outside, but beneath that, they’re a well-oiled machine with deep ties to a secretive group called Salam Luna Ascendant (SLA). This group seems to have very deep roots in Havensport in general and Thornwood in particular. This isn’t just about community outreach and leadership programs. It’s about power—political, social, and even more subtle forms of control.
They’re using their outreach to pull strings, recruiting women into their fold and extending their influence throughout Havensport. The public-facing events are just the mask they wear to hide their real agenda.
Key Figures in TEA
The group’s leadership is sharp and calculating, each one playing a crucial role in keeping TEA’s operations smooth and under the radar:
- Felicity Cookson: The leader of TEA and the driving force behind Salam Luna Ascendant. She’s running for mayor, and trust me, if she wins, she’ll have the city in her pocket. She’s not just a politician—she’s playing a much bigger game.
- Marja Volkov: TEA’s media handler. She’s the one controlling the narrative, making sure that incidents like yours will be passed around by her people and used to their adventage. She’s skilled at managing the public and shaping perception.
- Astrid Jorgensen: She’s the financial arm, keeping TEA well-funded and ensuring that their real activities stay hidden behind a clean ledger. If there’s a money trail, she’s the one covering it.
The Sanctuary: TEA's Headquarters
The Sanctuary is more than just a safe space for women. On the surface, it operates like a typical outreach center—hosting events, providing support, and building a community. But our intel shows it’s also the heart of their operations. TEA’s inner circle meets there, using the space to plan and recruit.
Surveillance indicates that their top-tier members conduct private sessions, training their most loyal recruits and initiating them into SLA's deeper agenda. The more promising recruits get pulled into TEA’s real goals—ones that go far beyond helping the community.
Political Manipulation
Felicity Cookson’s mayoral campaign is just the tip of the iceberg. She’s leveraging TEA’s influence to secure key political alliances in Havensport. There are already city officials quietly under her sway. Once she’s in office, her reach will only grow stronger, giving Salam Luna an open door to control the city.
TEA’s public image of charity and empowerment helps mask their real manoeuvres. Behind closed doors, they’re pulling strings that most people can’t see. But we can.
TEA’s Recruitment Tactics
TEA’s events and empowerment programs are expertly crafted recruitment tools. They start by offering a sense of belonging, drawing in women who are looking for something bigger. Little by little, they get closer to the inner circle, and that’s when TEA’s real influence kicks in.
Those who show promise are groomed—subtly at first—until they’re fully loyal to the group. Once someone’s in deep enough, it’s hard to get out. They don’t even realize how tightly they’re being controlled. TEA thrives on this kind of manipulation. The level of manipulation and control the SLA has over their people seems to go far beyond the normal.
And Dwight, let’s be honest—once upon a time, people would’ve called them witches... Not the most politically correct term nowadays, but it gives you an idea of how long their methods have been around.
Your Role
You’ve already been pulled into their orbit, but you’ve got a chance to fight back. TEA and the SLA are dangerous, and they’re not going to let you off the hook easily. This is what you need to do:
- Surveillance: We need eyes on TEA’s events, especially those at The Sanctuary. Watch for anything that ties their public face to their hidden activities. The more intel we gather, the easier it’ll be to expose them.
- Infiltration: Your team has access to places we can’t go. Use your position to get closer to their operations. TEA’s public face is easy to see, but it’s what’s happening behind the scenes that we need to crack open.
- Disruption: TEA’s power relies on their image. We can’t let them control the story. When the time is right, we’ll use the information you gather to damage their reputation, piece by piece. But we’ll need to be strategic. This isn’t a brawl—it’s a takedown.
Next Steps
This dossier gives you Level 1 Intelligence—enough to get started. If you prove yourself, there may be opportunities to access more sensitive information. But for now, focus on what’s in front of you. SLA is already watching, and if we don’t act quickly, they’ll slip through our fingers.
We’re not just talking about a simple group of activists here. They’re a force, and if we don’t take them down, they’ll take control of Havensport before you know it.
You’ve got the skills, Dwight. It’s time to use them. Let’s put these people back in the shadows where they belong.
