it makes sense that you'd have to be pretty far down in troop and command quality to get this post. That, combined with the attitude of superiority over the natives could easily lend a viscous edge to your dealings with an unknown woman, no matter who or what she claims to be.
The knowledge of supernatural events and creatures is limited to superstition and rumor. Much like our own history except the outlandish horrors happen to be true (but unverified).
Anna has attracted the attention of one Cabal werewolf, though, who is very interested in finding out where she's from and what powers she has...
