- "Portnova is focused, highly intelligence, and fanatically loyal to the Soviet State. Expertly trained to operate within hostile states under deep cover for extended periods of time – she is highly self-sufficient and unlikely to break under enhanced interrogation. In our assessment, conventional attempts to flip her loyalties are certain to fail."
