Griffin.Gen Thank you, thank you.
ViperhawkZ Going into too much detail would be against the rules, but suffice it to say, yes, that happened.
Kurt_Steiner Considering who the two are and what at least one of them will earn his money with after the war this is a given, methinks.
stevep Well as said, at least some writing is almost always going on.
The contact is one that neither you or they will expect, though some of you might find a few clues as to who it is.
as for your questions:
a) That's mostly not correctly spelled. The two expect Edwards to say something and he doesn't.
b) Not really. For one Felix was stuck in the UK for most of the war, he was assigned to the US Embassy in Britain almost straight out of Annapolis. He also formally renounced his US citizenship before becoming a naturalized Brit. He's an Officer in the Royal Navy just like any other, so technically the Americans can't do squat. Legally Felix is just a naturalized British who happened to have been born in Colorado Springs and joined the Royal Navy.
