The "Muxteran Prisoner" Gambit

The "Muxteran Prisoner" Gambit was a ploy developed by Tzim-Sha and Ta'zhen during the Purge of Muxter. Ta'zhen underwent an extensive immersion program in Muxteran language and culture (during which time she discovered Muxteran musician Chelf) in order to pass herself off effectively, and Tzim-Sha staged a "prisoner release" to slip Ta'zhen into a cell of enemy Muxterans, with devastating results.
The trick only worked perfectly the first few times; word soon spread that a non-Stenza was on the Stenza side and using her appearance to trick her enemies. It was formally retired shortly thereafter.
