Since you don't want to be carted off to a psychiatric ward, you
don't request dossiers on your fellow officers.  Instead, you chat them
up during lunch, breaks and dinner, acquiring all the information that
you want about them.

No.  But, then, if they were disciplined, then they wouldn't need to be
trained to ethically-correct police procedure and Torrence
would not be in Budapest.

Torrence is unable to uncover additionaly information on the Firebird
Firebird Foundation.  The Foundation, except for providing money, and
the bare essentials in tax records, could effectively not exist.  It has
not building, no phone number, no holdings.
