Greta McGruder is a fugitive from [[Rasalhague]] whose family was killed by [[ISF]] and [[O5P]] operatives. As the trusted friend and right hand of Precentor Sharilar Mori, Greta dropped a framed image of her father in shock when a [[Word of Blake]] propaganda message revealed Mori herself to be an O5P agent. The women locked eyes and Mori confirmed the fact, then ordered Greta to keep silent about it and not confirm Blakist propaganda. But when Mori said something about fools and foolishness and laughed, Greta flew into a rage and sliced Mori's jugular open with a glass shard, feeling Mori was a traitor and unsuitable as a leader for [[ComStar]].

The story is told in flashback scenes as others storm the office, and Greta tells Precentor [[ROM]] [[Victoria Parrdeau]] what just happened. Prompted by a comment from another person in the room Greta recalls that Mori often referred to herself as the greatest fool of all, and may have been laughing at herself when Greta snapped. Confused, desperate and under great stress, Greta kills herself with the shard.
