It's during the First Interstellar War and a Solomani agent is infiltrated into First Imperium territory, but has a change of heart and decides to give himself up. He locates the head office of the Ziru Sirka Intelligence Bureau and goes to the front desk.
'Listen, friend, I'm a Solomani spy and I want to give myself up. Who should I see?'
'Second Floor, Room 218,' replies the clerk.
The spy gets to Room 218.
'I'm a Solomani spy. I want to give myself up.'
'What's your area, sabotage, terrorism or ideology?'
'Sabotage,' replies the spy.
'Then you've come to the wrong place. Go to Room 613 on the sixth floor.'
The spy gets to Room 613.
I'm a Solomani spy specializing in sabotage. I want to give myself up.'
'Did you specialize in transport or industrial targets?'
Transport,' replies the spy.
'Well that's the seventh floor, Room 742.'
The spy gets to Room 742.
'I'm a Solomani spy specializing in the sabotage of transport. I wish to give myself up.'
'What kind of transport, surface or space?'
'Space,' replies the spy.
'Then you've come to the wrong place. Room 936, ninth floor.'
The spy gets to Room 936.
'I'm a Solomani spy specializing in the sabotage of space transport. I wish to give myself up.'
'Look here, don't you see that it's closing time? We've finished interviewing for today. Come back tomorrow.
So the spy went and blew up a cruiser in spacedock.
