The rest of this guide is the accumulation of a month of research and reflection before actually making the change. The ship I was on was moving into a shore leave and the other ship was finishing up a mission. So I took a month to research ‘Intelligence’ and write a series of sims depicting my character going through a month of intensive retraining at Starbase 118 while I waited to transfer to the new ship. I named the series “Becoming Agent X”.

The first decision that needed to be made was what kind of Intelligence Officer was Brayden Jorey going to be? Intelligence seems to encompass a bit from every other role. There’s the tech heavy engineering type, the physical assassin security type, the manipulative social counsellor/diplomatic type, the behind-the-scenes research science/medical type, and the putting-it-all-together tactical type. In truth there are tons of other combinations, some I considered, and surely some I didn’t even think of! In the end, I decided that it made the most sense for my character to become a HUMINT specialist. Not only because of his background, but also for the kind of stories I wanted to tell. So keep that in mind when you are deciding what kind of Intelligence Officer you want to be.
