And she was essentially a courier, someone who took information from one place to the next.
And I don't think that she herself had much information.
She knew that she was doing work probably for some sort of counterintelligence, but she would probably not even call herself a spy.
And I think she was chosen because she was untied to anyone.
I think there is truth to this.
She likely was born at a very tumultuous time politically, and she probably didn't have
parents who were alive anymore or parents she was connected to.
She wasn't married.
She didn't have a close network because she was probably a refugee in her growing up years.
And so she was probably picked to be an intelligence courier because no one would be looking for her if she were to disappear, nor would anyone really know her enough to be able to look out for her because she had no strong community ties with anyone for them to even think, huh, this person was connected to someone.
And here's the thing.
I think she was relatively
unimportant in terms of intelligence because she wasn't wealthy.
So the work she was doing was not garnering her a lot of money.
She wasn't dressing in the most expensive clothes.
She looked nice, but there was probably a way to look nice that did not mean she was actually wealthy or rolling in the dough.
And she wasn't staying at the highest end hotels.
And she was also of the lack of importance level where if she were caught,
No big deal.
Like it didn't really matter to whoever she was carrying the information around for.
