 		AgentLex, it's all fun and games until someone gets killed. I doubt OFL would kill you off IG, but it's been done before to players. How much would that suck?! Anyway, being indignant still sounds like the most fun to me. You tell 'em!

 		New Email from Petra. Get Lexy!

Quote:
FROM THE DESK OF KAISER GUSTAV SILBER: CENTRAL COMMAND -

Be advised that Agent 010's acquisition and elimination has been escalated to a Priority One corporate directive. All personnel who are not actively assigned to North Atlantic and North American operations are to report to Central Command immediately for reassignment.

Be advised that Agent 010 still has access to company communications (we have reason to believe he will read this comminuque as well). All high level security matters should be relayed to Central Command either in person or through Level Six secured channels.

Agent 010 is to be hunted down and eliminated at any cost. Last known location is Essex, United Kingdom.

Central Command is willing to provide significant reward to any active agents who deliver proof of Agent 010's termination. Additional consideration will be given to any evidence on Agent 010's activities that is obtained during acquisition and elimination. All agents are authorized to eliminate on sight any suspected accomplices or contacts that Agent 010 may have. Agents may pursue any additional information acquired as to Agent 010's accomplices and contacts, but the primary objective is the elimination of Agent 010; all others are secondary objectives and will be addressed accordingly.

- Petra Silber, Central Command

 		I'm waiting for the epic shootout to take place at high noon in two weeks whenever.

I'm wondering, though: could we do something really crafty like make Lex a fake identity and provide really specific, believable, but fake details (he was doing this at this time) and back it up with "surveillance" pictures. Send them off, collect the reward, then send a letter to them detailing how Lex escaped and is hiding in a remote country with armed guards and Columbian drug lords the mafia friends.

I was thinking something more along the lines of:

Mr. Silber,

It has come to my attention through my contacts that you are looking for and have a bounty attached to the head of a certain Agent 010, rogue member of GraueMacht Security.

Through some personal work and information from contacts, I have located his whereabouts and actions in the previous twenty-four hours. He has been hiding with associates at <fake> doing <fake>, etc <more>.

For more proof, see attached surveillance pictures obtained from local public CCTV and pictures taken by local contacts.

I would recommend dispatching agents of yours to <fake> within sixteen hours, as I am guessing by his actions he is ready to, as you say, make a break for it.


Hey! I actually wrote something! Cool

 		New Email from Agent 020
First a recap of our prior email exchange....

Quote:
To: Agent 020, Special Operations Team 2
From: Agent Belle Affeni, Network Operations

I was passed this message regarding your Acheron login difficulties. We are currently trying to pinpoint and correct the underlying problem, but due to enhanced security measures it may take some time. We have a temporary fix we are applying to individual accounts.

I have been designated to concentrate on just your account do to the urrency of the matter, so please varify your login information to me directly, and I will apply the fix to your account. I will also be standing by to help you have any further diffiuculties.

We at NetOps are sorry for any inconveinence this may have caused.

From: Agent 020, Special Operations Team 2

This is highly irregular... You must be new, or the network problems are more serious than they appear.

The last contact from Network Operations instructed me to destroy and disregard my previous login information. Besides, you know better than I that I am not authorized to disclose past or present login information through unsecured channels.

I am waiting for Network Operations to provide necessary login information; I suggest you contact your senior management and explain to them that not having that information is causing delays in our mission. Thankfully, due to Tropical Storm Fay, the launch has been delayed for an undisclosed amount of time, but that won't be the case forever.

Awaiting further instructions.

From: Agent Belle Affeni, Network Operations

I sincerely apologize for my prior communication. I am both new and the network problems are much more serious than you know. I do not know what the last contact told you concerning your past login because we have lost contact with several agents and are in the middle or major management restructuring. In addition, our firewalls are under attack.

Due to all of this I am the only one working on your case, but neither I or anyone else at NetOps currently has the ability to provide you with a new login until all of these transitions are over. However that may not be soon enough for you to complete your mission.

Fortunately, I have permission from senior management to temporarily reauthorize your last login information until this matter is cleared up. Since I am new I haven't even finished my training on using secured channels, but if you have a suggestion I will be grateful to accept it. Everyone else at NetOps is too busy trying to repair the firewalls to help either of us right now.


We at NetOps are sorry for any inconveinence this may have caused.

subject Re: Field Report

Forgive my hesitation. Been stationed on a ship in the North Atlantic for over eight weeks now; not taking things particularly well, and having a hard time communicating with land-based operatives.

Attempted connection to Acheron VPN, but connection seems to be impossible, so I'm assuming you've taken it offline. Attempting connection to secondary firewall using 62L signon but connection rates are extremely slow, confirming your suggestion of possible attack.

As per mandate from Central Command, will fall back to alternate Level Six secure communication methods. I will wait for corporate firewall issues to be resolved before attempting to use the VPNs. Please acknowledge when the threat subsides.

- Agent 020


Ok... now what?

Cool beans! Once the woes of GoDaddy are resolved and we bring down Styx I'll hit him up for the next login! Cool

(In the meantime I'm going to take a nap...)

subject The Outside Air

ivers have been crossed, the four walls torn down. It is now much easier to speak whilst the enemy is in panicked disarray.

I am now reaching out to the others, in the hopes that they can put aside their differences and work together. It will not be easy as they are stubborn and have been in this feud for centuries. They will need some convincing, but I hope that time heals all wounds.

I am also trying to reach through the internal network and help the woman in red. But, somehow, I feel she needs little help from us and can do fairly well on her own.

If you are still with me, let me know. No need to fear who is watching communications; I am in control of that now.

Soon the silver king shall be dethroned, and freedom will be ours once again.
