[UA] Retired Agents of Renunciation

Rooms of Renunciation are the most convinient "you all
meet in a bar" intro to a gaming group.  Even moreso
than TNI, as there is no mutual state of desparation
involved, and there is much more room for
interpersonal conflict... 'cause is the Room going to
step in and stop you from killing each other?  Of
course not -- it just waits for a replacement agent to
come aboard.

I too can't see a former agent walking around. 
Although, I do like that asylum scenario.  Perhaps
there's prolonged Renunciation process that allows
them to go would work.  Like being jumped out of a
gang.

Maybe it's just that I can't see them walking around
the underground... but they seem like the type who'd
move into the mainstream world after retirement. 
They'd certainly appreciate a nice, stable life, where
you can walk out of your home and know which street
you'll end up on.

I can also see is agents who stay outside their Room
long term, months or years at a time.  Sure, they're
wandering around, but like a Mafia, they can never
really leave.

I just always sort of pictured them dying in the line
of duty, or in helping to chose the next agent, just
sort of passing on...

I can't really picture an ex-agent wondering
around...what could be interesting if you were running
a game is to have the players who serve a room meet a
former agent of the room who has been re-renuniciated
by a room serving the opposite agenda...

Or, I've been running this thing through my head,
don't quite have it worked out, that would begin in an
insane asylum, and eventually lead the players to
discover that they were former agents and the asylum
was in truth the final room of renunciation before
they could give up their jobs...
