Such seems to be the case with all faceless organizations. Even Rift-oriented ones aren't an exception.

A tiny, cold thought occurs to him regarding his fairly open attitude toward his...resurrective tendencies, specifically Ascension. Daniel quietly resolves to be a little more selective over to whom he dispenses that sort of information in the future. His status as "he who formerly existed on a higher plane" has gotten him in trouble before and there's no guarantee it won't again. Especially here.
