I'm fairly certain that even though the Lacuna recognizes that being open and honest about the monitoring duties they have assumed for their statehood is important, both Arms are probably naturally suspicious enough to send spies in to check for themselves -- and not realize how bad an idea sending spies into an area with a fairly large concentration of spies is. (I'd guess General Fallon is likely to sell the Carinans on the idea.) Who gets sent? What happens when they try? How quickly does the Lacuna work it out? Does the spy get escorted out, or does their experience turn them?
In any culture, there seem to be idioms, linguistic or otherwise, that are so much part of the culture that they are not commented on or documented anywhere. Yet someone coming into that culture, no matter how well trained, will inevitably not be aware of them and thus eventually become glaringly visible to the natives.
How quickly do neos get spotted on BlackSheep? What sorts of welcomes do they get when they are recognized?
