We all know of the magician’s concept of misdirection or diversion. Show some distraction or bright, shiny object in one hand while the other hand is carrying out the real activity. In espionage, diversion is the primary tool used by the agent to get the enemy looking at something else while the objective is attained. It is the tool of survival for the foreign agent. The CAT205 Team, an undercover team of the Special Operations Group of the Office of Naval Intelligence, is tasked to find out about a potential threat emanating from somewhere in central Asia. Words like ‘assassinate’, ‘test run’, ‘swarm’ and ‘global shift’ are picked up in several messages that become suspect. The team must find out what the threat is and who is involved. To do so they have to keep the enemy off balance by constantly getting them to chase ghosts so they’re always asking the question of “What if..” to something that appears different than what they see. As they work through the many barriers, they find that the threat is greater than anyone thought and the technology used is beyond the ability to defend against it. They must not be distracted by the enemy’s bright, shiny object while not letting those they are working against know of their true intentions. It’s a cat and mouse game where it’s hard to tell who’s the cat and who’s the mouse.
