Critical Miss: Backhanders and Dodgy Deals

Backhanders and Dodgy Deals

Possible Settings for Backhanders and Dodgy Deals

Internal Investigation Police Unit
This setting is very similar to that of the BBC TV series "Between the Lines" featuring a team of police detectives tasked with investigating cases of police corruption and incorrect behaviour. The main difference of course is that having uncovered corrupt police officers you don't bring them to justice, but blackmail them instead, possibly taking a cut of whatever action they were into.

The Truth Is Out There
Mounting a covert invasion of another planet takes a whole lot of resources, even if you do have nifty silver spaceships and the planet concerned is so mind numbingly primitive that they still think mice and windows are the dogs bollocks where computers are concerned. It's a difficult task, but luckily there's always quislings who will sell out their race - for an appropriate consideration of course.

In this setting, you not only know that the truth is out there, but are being handsomely rewarded to ensure that out there is exactly where it stays. Beating up UFO freaks, discrediting "rogue" scientists, arranging those oh-so-tedious house moving details for your extraterrestrial bosses; if it pays cash you'll do it.

And when the entire human race is enslaved... slaves will always require overseers.
