Secret documents

The backside of the document envelope.

The compromised Arstotzkan spy is a top-level M.O.I. agent who shows up on the newspaper headlines and the official bulletin on day 9 and arrives later on the same day.

Gameplay

They are the fourth entrant on day 9. They do not present a passport, an identity card or other entry-related documents but instead hand the inspector an envelope and ask him to help keep it safe. They warn the inspector about the imposter that is following them and then provide him with another identical packet of documents that contains false information. The agent asks to give that to the imposter instead and will then walk back to the Kolechian side.

The imposter mentioned by the agent is the seventh entrant on the same day. They will give the inspector 10 credits in exchange for the documents received earlier. They can be given either set of documents; the headline on day 10 will change according to whether they get the fake set or not. This does not have any other impact on the game later.
