Secret documents

The backside of the document envelope.

The compromised Arstotzkan spy is a top-level M.O.I. agent who shows up in the newspaper headlines and the official bulletin on day 9 and arrives later on the same day.

Gameplay[]

They are the fourth entrant on day 9. They do not present a passport, an identity card, or other entry-related documents but instead hand the inspector an envelope and ask him to help keep it safe. They warn the inspector about an imposter who is following them and then give the inspector another identical packet of documents that contains false information. The agent instructs the inspector to give the false documents to the imposter. After that, they walk back to the Kolechian side.

The imposter mentioned by the agent is the seventh entrant on the same day. They will give the inspector 10 credits in exchange for the documents received earlier. They can be given either set of documents; the headline on day 10 will change depending on which set the inspector gives them. This does not have any other impact on the game later.
