The above begs the question who else in Section was helping Adrian. Who let her know about potential recruits? Although there is no direct evidence to support this, this observer suspects that Jurgen was involved. The reasons for this are as follows:
1. Jurgen was a member
of the Psych Ops team. His speciality
was the retraining of operatives who
have shown some signs
of instability or in the case of Nikita
had been out of Section for
a long period of time.
2. When returning Nikita
to her apartment and her finding out that
Carla was gone, Jurgen knew exactly
where and how to get
in touch with Carla.
If Jurgen was involved with Adrian, he would have had access to all new recruits psych files and would have been able to track their progress.
When Operations and Madeline became aware of Adrian's actively moving against
Section is unknown. What is known is that they picked Nikita to bring
her in. How they obtained her willingly cooperation can only be guessed.
In this observer's opinion, they may have threatened to cancel Michael,
Birkoff or Walter (or even all three) if she did not cooperate with them.
