3SS-SS Conflict

The 3SS-SS Conflict was an interservice rivalry that took place between the 3bow Secret Service, ran by sp0ng3s, and the Sponge Spies, ran by Pacer. It took place shortly after the Father Conflict. It was, in a way, a continued competition between the Old Guard and New Sponges, as sp0ng3s was a leader in the Old Guard and Pacer had been a primary defender of Raccoon.

The 3bow Secret Service was created during the Father Conflict, and Pacer took notice. He feared that the New Sponges, along with him, would quickly lose power if they did not gain a foothold. This pushed him to create the Sponge Spies in opposition to the 3SS. They both performed the same duties and were both approved by 3bow, who wished to see the best intelligence service prove themselves. Sp0ng3s and ScriptHook pushed the Service agents extremely hard, leading to low retention rates. Meanwhile, the Sponge Spies was much more relaxed, which would end up being their downfall. The final nail in the coffin was when Pacers attempted coup during the transition between 3bow and Scripthook happened. After he was stopped by the 3SS, the Sponge Spies were dissolved.
