Summary	0010454: Secret agents' real identities are revealed, and their cover identities overwritten, when mentioned as "guide to faraway places"
Description	If the player asks an NPC for directions to a site and the NPC provides the name of a second NPC as a potential guide, the name given will be the second NPC's real name, even if the second NPC is living in the local area under an assumed identity. If this happens to a secret agent, 'l'ooking at the agent's tile will always show the agent's real name. Furthermore, if the agent was already known to the adventurer under a false name, the real name will replace the false name in the list of 'p'eople that the adventurer knows and can tell stories about. The false name will only remain visible in the agent's 'd'escription.
Steps To Reproduce	Ask an NPC that is not well-traveled for directions to faraway places. Repeat until the NPC reveals the real name of a secret agent.
