It's much more information than he thought they'd get, and it comes almost too easily. If he were in War's position, he certainly wouldn't spill everything like this without vetting the supposed traitors first, though he reminds himself that this might not be the truth. She might already be one step head of them.
Still, they have no choice but to file this away in the event it's true. A spy on Legion World with the ability to possess bodies is not exactly anything they want to hear--nor is the assertion that there's a whole cadre of these people and that Chronoblivion is less than a year away.
He's about to ask another question when War stops giving them answers and says something disconcerting. 76 stops himself from glancing at his fellow not-traitors in a bid to keep them from arousing more suspicion, but it sounds like the jig is about to be up. Still, there's the chance he might be misjudging, and reacting would blow the whole thing wide open too soon. Maybe if the rest of them are smart enough, they'll give him a moment to take the fall in the event she's not actually onto them.
But 76 is willing to take the chance--and the shot. He interrupts her mid-sentence with a round of pulse fire aimed squarely at her chest. He doesn't think it'll do anything to hurt her (he can't possibly be so lucky), but hopefully she doesn't see it coming, and it's enough of a signal for everyone on the ground, short of saying NOW.
