As part of their disguise, the Ferrets shave the sides of their heads and have narrow falls of hair hanging between their shoulder blades.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Chapter 17|HSoR|Chapter=17}}

Over the course of eight months, the Ferrets gather intelligence for ONI, allowing them to launch a massive eradication campaign that decimates the ranks of the Keepers. However, to the surprise of everyone, Castor responds by taking refuge with the [[Banished]]. As a result and hoping for a shot [[Atriox]] himself, ONI has the Ferrets extend their undercover mission and set up the groundwork for an assassination attempt. Shortly thereafter, Atriox vanishes with his [[flagship]] the {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} ''[[Enduring Conviction]]'' and [[Cortana]] [[Created conflict|rises to power]].
