This could quite easily form the basis for a wargaming scenario, with the volunteers represented by lesser trained troops and the dark secret by the opponent being able to disrupt command at a given moment, as if the drama were then being discovered at the nerve centre. In roleplaying the player characters could be involved in either the search itself or the teasing out of the mystery, or both. All of this could be drawn on in writing.
