Double agent? Just send a 1 drill sub at the DA. Poof, problem solved.
If it's just the assassin, yes, you will die IF THE ASSASSIN ARRIVES AT YOUR BASE. Doesn't matter if you kill the drills, the assassin does the deed. So just send a sub to hit his without specs. Sub to sub combat with drills counters assassin.
Welcome, and Godspeed.
