"Going forwards, we want to act against Cadmus in their backers in such a way that we gain as much information about them as possible, and so that they are misinformed about how much we know and where we got this information. Our current working plan is as follows. We will infiltrate Cadmus, remove the original Roy Harper and the Project Match clone, and replace them with braindead replicas. It's likely to be a long time before that is noticed, if ever. I will stage a leak, which will alert the press to the existence of genomorphs and malfeasance at Cadmus, creating enough of a scandal that elements within the federal government will no longer be able to protect Cadmus. This will take at least a few months, but I believe it is the only way to free the genomorphs from Cadmus which does not result in our adversaries becoming aware of ring surveillance capabilities or a disastrous confrontation between the League and the federal government."

"All we ask of you is that you do not take action against Cadmus, or in any other way give an indication of the full extent of power ring surveillance capabilities. Do you have any questions?"

"What kind of things should I be avoiding outside the Cadmus issue?"

"If you use your ring to gain information notably beyond what it would be possible to gain with technologies available on Earth, either do not act on that information or act on it in such a way that you believably could have attained that information with mundane methods, technologies available on Earth, or luck. If you continue to focus on charitable work, I don't think it's likely to come up. And if you do run into any more nefarious plots, informing the League is a good idea."

"That ship may have already sailed. I showed maps of an entire region's water and electrical systems to people while I was helping with the hurricane."

"Hmm. I don't think anyone will piece that together. The Green Lanterns do sometimes take scans, and it's publicly known that they can do so, just not the full extent of what those scans are capable of. As long as we don't act like people would expect us to act if we had the capacity to know anything, I don't think they will suddenly realize we have the capacity to know anything. And my expectation is that for you in particular, many people will regard you as harmless if you continue to... not act like a conventional superhero. Not everyone will be fooled, but many will."

"Alright, I'll refrain from showing the results of my scans and ask before doing anything borderline. I assume locating people in wreckage and doing medical imaging are things the other lanterns already do publicly?"

"Yes. Thank you for your cooperation. Your actions today may have changed the course of the next several years, at least."

"You're welcome, I'm willing to help like this in the future. I don't plan to make a habit of it on my own though. I have some thoughts about your plan that probably occurred to you but I can share them if you'd like."

"I'd be interested in hearing them."

"I think the Genomorphs have their own plans they seem to have spaces of their own unknown to Cadmus. It may be worth reaching out to them. Also they are telepathic if anyone is going in person for your infiltration they should probably be shielded against telepathy. It didn't look like they were actively monitoring the Kryptonian clone but they may notice your switch sooner than you'd expect. Finally, it's possible there's a way to distinguish between Cadmus clones and the originals. If there is it might be wise to check your people regularly. I'd appreciate getting that information if you identify a difference."

"We have reason to believe Dubbilex desires the liberation of the genomorphs and is working against Cadmus, so we'll try to collaborate with him. We have a telepath, who will be on the infiltration team. We will attempt to find a reliable way to identify clones, and will alert you if we do."

"Thank you. That addresses all my concerns."

"We'll be in touch."
