== Blurb ==
“Julius Caesar – the one and only. Yesterday evening, the Eye alerted us to a new infraction. It’s been classed as a Level Eight.”. - Anna Vogel
The significance of the Ides of March is well-known – but when someone attempts to prevent the Caesar’s assassination, the QIA must step in to ensure that history runs its course. Meanwhile in the present, the London Field Team also set their sights on a former employee-turned-traitor, but taking him in will be nowhere near as easy as they would hope…
== Synopsis ==
Enora Gallou, fed up with Brent Hall's drip-feed of information, orders him to give up one of the traitors who left the Hub with him, so Hall offers up Jad Navrayan, now running the former Reclaimer Hub in Lisbon, Portugal. Meanwhile, a new quantum infraction occurs, concerning an attempt to prevent the assassination of Julius Caesar.
With the two concerns both taking priority, the team splits and is assisted by the Sweeper Team. Sarah, Ethan, Carlos and Iulya prepare for Rome, while Hafiz, Tom and the Sweepers prepare for Lisbon.
While the Rome mission goes more or less successfully, the team in Portugal face a particularly vicious adversary in the form of Tiago Veiga, requiring some very clever thinking on the part of the least likely of the Agents.
Meanwhile, Hayden rejoins the Hub in a new capacity - but with his own agenda in mind.
