[SHIELD] Project: Open Eyes

[misterdaniel]

So, the weekend after the one coming is the Lions Event, and I have (perhaps foolishly) agreed to have Duncan McAllister stop for the two nights (Kaz also being at the event).

Now I'm sure it would be no fun for Duncan to see himself as being dumped on a boring guy whilst his parents are off having an adventure. So I have deemed that his stay will be as interesting as I can make it. Duncan is into spy-things at the moment, so I'm coming up with a spy plan.

Nick Fury, of SHIELD, will be contacting Duncan to ask for his assistance. SHIELD suspects that HYDRA are operating in Nottingham and Leicester. Since Duncan has moved from Scotland, he is completely clear of suspicion of being a HYDRA agent making him perfect for this mission, if he agrees.

Friday night will focus on training, including code-breaking.
Saturday will involve a trip to the National Space Centre in Leicestershire to check its not a HYDRA front.
Sunday will involve some more investigation based on data received from Saturday.

I'm blogging openly about this because I am wondering if anyone would be willing and able to help me with this, either in preparation or in the course of the weekend. I'm thinking:
1 - Suggestions for spy-based activities
2 - Helping to prepare some bits (e.g. simple transliterated code to be cracked)
3 - Playing NPC roles at the end of telephones, texts or even Skype

If not, never mind. I think I can come up with enough stuff. Spymasters often give wildly confusing instructions, so being asked to gather random - yet scientifically accurate - information from the National Space Centre makes a game of learning stuff.

Frankly, when Dessie and Bria get back from the Lions to discover that Duncan has saved the free world from terrorism, I think they will feel like the ones who missed out.

(And, of course, this is a proto run for doing similar with Eleanor when she is a little older)

I'm happy to play an NPC role, and help make things if need be.

Could I possibly trouble you to create a secret message with invisible ink?

There's a good link here: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-an-Invisible-Ink-Message

Also, any interest in being a SHIELD Agent on a space station? It would basically mean Duncan calling you up, you checking the password and passing on a code for him to crack

Lemon messages! I used to make these for my sister when we were little. What do you need them to say?

Sure, I can join SHIELD for the weekend. You've got my mobile, right?

I am still working on the plot. I figure invisible ink messages ought to have something important on. When I have worked out what that is, can I email you?
