The Kannexan Security Service (Sicherheitsdienst) had infiltrated the Revolutionary People's Party of Kannex (Revolutionäre Volkspartei; RVP) for several years. Indeed, the RVP had begun as an orthodox splinter group of the original Communist Party of Kannex. The schism had been advanced, at every stage, by KSS agents.
The RVP had offices in downtown Manhatt. Busy men and women in dreary business drab mixed in the streets, seeping through crowds. The sidewalks were a sea of black and blonde and brown hair, Han and white faces covered by the same few styles of fedoras. Parked cars hemmed in the shifting crowd on the sidewalk, while food carts and parking meters blocked walking space further. Amid the honking and the bright ads from every billboard and poster, few paid attention to the words "Revolutionäre Volkspartei" etched above the small entrance to the Party offices.
The Party offices were not far from the big banks and stock exchange of the city, odd for a proletariat party.The RVP rented out the modest building, with all its corporate-style meeting rooms and desks and typewriters, from a left-leaning pizzeria owner. Party members dismissed the irony of relying on sympathetic business owners to fund their operations by using the term "enlightened capitalist" to describe their more well-off 'fellow travelers.'
The KSS, on the other hand, had no shortage of funds, and promptly set up shop across the street. Agents rented out an apartment on the second floor with an easy view of the Party office entrance, ensuring that every man and woman who entered or left the Party offices were captured on camera. The KSS identified key members of the Party.
But the Revolutionary People's Party possessed a second, less visible base. This was on the outskirts of Manhatt, in an industrial district north of the city. The warehouse contained offices for every secret big shot in the Party, as well as printing presses to print leaflets and pamphlets and safes to store the Party's money. And there was great chatter about what the Party could become, now that they had received sanction from Marxist-Leninovist parties abroad.
But the Kannexan Security Service were not to tolerate any of that.
