#Seriously a list of agents potential triggers/psychological profile/weakest points would be devastating in the wrong hands

Agent Hunt 'relaxed' further into the couch. Martha couldn't help but wonder if he was shifting the tension from the core and into his limbs, or maybe he was forcibly relaxing his muscles. Not that she could blame Hunt for his ruse, most field agents viewed a visit with the Psych Department like most people view a visit to a dentist. Unnerving, uncomfortable, and, occasionally, painful. It didn't help that there was an annoyingly persistent rumor that everything the agents said in a session would be funneled directly to the CIA. The rumor was completely false, of course, but agents tend to be paranoid at the best of time. For pity's sake, the counselors and therapists of the psych department weren't even allowed to use real names in their documents! Each patient had to be given a code name to be used in place of name, pronoun, or any other identifying article in the written documents. 'Safety through obfuscation', the unofficial motto of the IMF, or at least it was for the Psych Division. All documentation produced before, during, or after a session had to be written by hand, never typed on computer or typewriter, and stored in self-immolating file cabinets. Press the right spot or enter an incorrect code, and all of the files would be burnt to ash in seconds. It wasn't anything new to her. In Martha's last job, anonymity was a selling point to most clients. Martha preferred to wait 'til the end of the first session to give a pseudonym. It gave her a chance to get to know them and let the nickname cement itself in her mind. Right now her notes were filled with little blank spaces just waiting to be filled with the distillation of a person. Flicking her eyes over the man on her couch, she couldn't help but correlate the unnatural stillness of Agent Hunt and a Sheep dog belly down in the grass after an order to Wait.
