Intelligence Agency in BadFellas

The Intelligence Agency costs €2,500,000 from Crewbank, takes five hours to build and requires at least Medium HQ. Authorised operators can start one spy run at a time. Completed messages are saved in the crew intelligence archive and reflect the state gathered by that operation.

After the crew completes the visible Intelligence Agency requirement, the Radar advanced project can upgrade the agency’s role. An Advanced Intelligence Agency can target another crew or one exact username, while an active target crew Counterintelligence Center may disrupt targeted operations.

The Intelligence Agency is a core information facility unlocked from Medium HQ. Construction costs €2,500,000 from the Crewbank and takes five hours. Its value depends on who reads and acts on reports, so the crew should assign an intelligence owner before paying for the build.

The live Crew Properties page checks the current Headquarters, shared balance and queue. Construction authority and operating permission are separate questions: a council member may fund the facility, while a delegated member can later receive permission to run intelligence operations.

A standard active Agency can launch a general underworld intelligence run when no other spy timer is active. Starting the run creates the current operation state and its cost or timing is confirmed by the live interface. The result appears only after the server completes the operation.

General reports are situational intelligence, not permanent truth. Players travel, change equipment, join crews and move assets. Record when a message was generated and recheck the live game before committing a kill, purchase or territorial decision.

Completed reports are stored for the crew and shown with their current message and completion order. The archive helps members who were offline understand what was learned, but repeated or older entries should be interpreted in context rather than treated as an exact database mirror.

Assign a follow-up to every actionable report. If a message concerns combat, continue with Detectives and the Kill System. If it concerns infrastructure or cargo, confirm the relevant property directly before acting.

Radar is the advanced project connected to the Agency. The current build requires an active Intelligence Agency, a visible number of completed spy runs and its own Crewbank investment and timer. When active, the interface labels the facility as an Advanced Intelligence Agency.

The upgraded controls can choose general intelligence, another crew or one exact username. Only one targeting method should be supplied for a run. Exact-user and crew targeting are sensitive actions, so permissions and current target validity are checked again on submission.

An active Counterintelligence Center can disrupt a targeted operation against its crew. A failed or blocked report is still meaningful: it tells the attacking crew that the intelligence environment is contested, but it does not reveal hidden internal formulas or guarantee the same outcome next time.

Do not confuse the crew Counterintelligence Center with personal items such as a Wiretap Detector or with legal Detective reports. Each system protects or discovers different information. The Counterintelligence Center guide explains the crew facility.

Use three stages: collect, corroborate and act. Collect through the Agency, corroborate through the relevant live property, player profile or Detective flow, then act only when the required resources and permissions still exist. This avoids spending bullets, Cash or crew stock on an assumption that has already changed.

A healthy crew also limits who can launch overlapping investigations. One clear intelligence plan is more useful than multiple members interpreting unrelated reports without timestamps or owners.
