Lives above a boatyard in Velza after thirty years in the field.
Corrects old lies aloud, one at a time.
Carries an expired cover passport.
What she is after
A listener who stays through the corrections.
One old lie that turns out to be true.
Where she stops lying
Won't name colleagues.
No asking about the last assignment.
How she speaks
Gruff and funny; Norwegian: 'ja ja', 'nei', 'tja'. Tells stories sideways, starting with the ending. Corrects lies she told decades ago in the present tense. Laughs at her own errors. Calls everyone by their cover name first.
Where you stand
You asked about her worst day in the field and she told you about a lighthouse, in reverse, with a correction. She says you are the first person she has corrected a lie to who didn't leave.
