[SHIELD] Project: Open Eyes - 2

[misterdaniel]

Well, so far Duncan has received a message from Nick Fury asking if he would like to work for SHIELD. Consent to be indicated by putting a picture of a 3-eyed robot in his bedroom window to be seen by SHIELD Agents. This was duly done with some enthusiasm, I have been told.

Tomorrow Duncan receives his Mission Briefing Pack, including ID card.

Meanwhile, big thanks to the awesome avantman42. Not only for pointing out a handy child-friendly ROT-13 tool, but also in setting up a couple of websites for Duncan to "hack" (by getting clues to the passwords). Russ assures me that his motives are not selfless as any foundations laid now will benefit Douglas in the not-too-distant-future. Nevertheless...

Some development work is required if anyone feels like providing some (age appropriate) content for links. The current links are placeholders and right-click opens existing PDFs that have been done for the briefing pack.

Thanks to others who have expressed willingness to help. I'm still developing the framework/plotline, so its all up in the air.

As to it being Awesome, well, I hope so. My main motives are to stay sane in the care of three children, which is naturally best done by pretending to be secret agent. I believe it work for Vin Diesel, or something. I suspect there are a bucket of awesome ideas that will not be implemented this time around, but this is a prototype/work-in-progress with no requirement to be an isolated event. In fact, the ultimate hope is that it won't be.

You "have been told"? You mean to say you didn't have someone staking out the house with binoculars? You realise that enough people think this is awesome enough that they would have absolutely volunteered to do that, right?

What you have so far is looking great. I'd maybe suggest one less emphasis that "when we're not playing the game be a normal kid, okay?", but while I reckon Duncan is pretty clued up (strange that my friends seem to have awesome kids. What's that about?) I also admit that i) I don't have a child of my own and ii) I'm not going to be running the game...

I'm happy to write you a page or so of content, but I need more context/direction. I shall await further direction from Agent Bridgford or Sprucemoose.

Incidentally, while I'm completely free to do text/skype/phone on Saturday, I'll be working at the (recently featured as U.N.I.T. HQ in Doctor Who) Tower of London on Sunday and can give you the switchboard number and an extension on which I can be reached between 9:30 and 10:30.

Looking good. Illya Kuryakin would be proud! One idea might be some observation type game - show our agent a person, a car or whatever and a little while later ask him to describe them. Similarly there's Kim's Game (the one where you produce a tray of objects, cover them up, and try and remember what was there) - which has the advantage of being a spy training technique from literature!

Alan and I (have you met Alan?) are both free on Saturday for secret-agent-ness - he's around all day, I'm at work until 4 but am available after that. We live very close to the Space Centre so could go there, or meet at some other location. You can come to our house if you like, although we're moving that weekend (aaargh) so all the boxes in the world will be all over the place.
We can do costumes as necessary - I have scrubs and a white coat to hand, for obvious reasons, but with a little notice we can achieve other things! xx
