The Document
Dear Secret Agent:
Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is the infiltration and conversion of the enemy team leader to our side. We will assume that if you don’t accept this mission, that you have been terminated. Remember that should you or any of your team be identified or captured before completing the mission that the enemy will terminate you! Keep in mind the advice of the great profit Yoda: “Try not, do or do not, there is no try!”
Key Rules of Intelligence Work
- You must be careful who you deal with – carelessness could get you killed.
- You must be careful what you tell those you deal with – you don’t want to give away any key information before you know how it will be used (It may be used against you!).
- 007 was successful because he got beyond the veneer – he developed relationships – he charmed his subjects many times into intimacy so that he can extract the information needed for his mission’s success.
- Never let your guard down – even though you are intimate with a contact, you could be dealing with a double agent (someone who will by action or inaction hinder your mission or even cause you to be killed.).
- No mater what you do if you don’t reach the target, the mission fails.
Mission Instructions:
(Contact) You must first seek out and make contact with the enemy.
(Body Guard) Your initial contact is probably a double agent. This person is likely to be out to get you, extreme caution is necessary. In spite of this you must gain their trust and if possible even create an intimate relationship from which you can gain key information without giving yourself away.
(Identify Leader) Your fist challenge is to find out who is responsible for making key decisions. This is your target. You must also discover if there are any other individuals that might take you out during your assignment. Watch for moles, they will tell you what you want to hear and stab you in the back as soon as you turn around.
(Infiltrate) You must quickly develop a relationship with the enemy team leader. You must get their trust without giving yourself away – this is the only way you will be able to uncover their operations.
(Operations) Once you find your target you need to discover their operation. In order to accomplish your mission you will need details. You must not give anything away until you know how it will be used.
(Attack) Once you know everything about your target you must find a way to turn them. Without a double agent inside, you’ll never take out their operation.
(Delivery) The success of your mission is dependent on you returning with the goods (orders). You must ask for and get a commitment from your newly created mole to betray all other vendors for your organization.
I hope you enjoyed this, my team did!
