I like Simon's take on the White Moon/ Red Moon plot, where the Red Moonie agent converts during the rites and then fights off the Lunar troops. A similar twist you could have here is that the Krarsht cult has actually engineered their own assassin's traumatic conversion to Humakt for their own inscrutable purposes, which will not become apparent until the time is right. I'm sure there is a highly lucrative six-leg contract involved that encompasses the death of someone highly important. The conversion might be completely sincere (for the Jaw), but that might not stop his old masters still pulling the strings...

Cheers,

And I heartily third the motion! Arqua gives a truly wonderful, cinematically perfect notion of what a Humakti "ambush" would have to be like.
