The Pone Wars 3.5: Explosive Temperament

I mean, I wouldn't entirely rule it out. If you can identify that your opponent is resourceful enough that you can't realistically hold them, you might choose to stage a rescue to get a step ahead and plant your own agents.

Of course, if this were an elaborate trick, "Captain Typhoon" would need to exploit the situation pretty soon, since they'll only trust that he is who he appears to be until the next time he's out of their sight. That's the problem with being shapeshifters; once your enemies know what they're up against, it becomes extremely difficult to insert long-term double agents since everyone is subject to renewed suspicion every time they return to the group.
