| Ninjak #4 Pre-Order Cover by Pedro Andreo |
In the second portion of Ninjak #4, the action moves to Barcelona, Spain. There, Ninjak listens in on the conversations of a Spanish minister, hoping to learn more of Daylight's plans. Unlike with the poor C.I.A. agent, writer Jeff Parker gives us sufficient backstory to tell us how Ninjak learned that this minister was appointed to interact with Daylight.
Unlike with the C.I.A. agent, he's not traveling aboard a ship while surveilling another ship. He's riding a rent-a-scooter while surveilling a car.
When something interferes with Ninjak's electronic surveillance, he uses his specialized training to board the vessel (or if you prefer, automobile), and question the minister directly.
There's a nice symmetry in these two sections, with two undercover agents trying to listen in on conversations concerning Daylight, and risking confrontation when their remote surveillance methods prove insufficient. The Kingmaker's new psiot abilities allow him to interfere with electronic communications up close. Could he have had anything to do with Ninjak's signal loss, from so far away?
That may be a reach. Still, I'm guessing we haven't seen all that the Kingmaker and Syphon can do with their newfound psiot abilities.
