Not necessarily.
Although, in my case, some very interesting people have been in contact with me for some time - and I only truly put pieces together until Q.
You know that episode of Warehouse 13 where the restaurant he is in closes and all of the staff turn out to be the shadow government?
Kind of like that. Except, perhaps a bit more like Aldnoah Zero, where the princess is a rebel against her own political system. Maybe… I am playing blind by comparison to Q. Which is a very frustrating position to be in.
There again, I would have already droned like six people out of spite… So, there is a reason I don't have such things.
