"Never look as if you don't know where to go. Never dawdle with intent. I am a newly arrived tourist. I am a pedestrian, the lowest of the low."

In Harry's Game, an IRA chief says that the Army had turned over the house that he had stayed in the previous week. That stuff was happening in these islands that recently.

Kaor, Paul!
I think WE CLAIM THESE STARS also mentions how an underground resistance movement would have to very soon adopt a cell structure system with frequently changing pass words to foil attempts to smash it.
Ad astra! Sean
Sean,
That is also among the notes that I have taken while rereading the text.

Kaor, Paul!
If the conflict on Vixen had lasted longer you can bet Ardazirho intelligence officers like Mind-hunter Svantozik would soon have been "turning" human Vixenites and infiltrating them into the resistance. Using means like blackmail, intimidation, bribery, etc., to get them working for the invaders. Some would fail to be inserted but others would not. Mutual suspicion and paranoia alone would have lessened the effectiveness of the resistance.
Ad astra! Sean
