[SHIELD] Coming into focus...


OK, so the whole "Project: Open Eyes" is taking shape now.



THE SITUATION:
* HYDRA has converted the Space Centre in Leicester to launch a missile filled with poison gas into the atmosphere. This is being masterminded by Raptor, the boss of their UK division.
* SHIELD has caught wind of this plan and has tasked Agent Glasgow (Duncan) to investigate.

THE SCENARIO:
* On Friday, Duncan comes to mine and does some training exercises that gets him access to a SHIELD briefing, which is now up at http://www.justec.co.uk/shield/ (james bond), which tells him he's going to the Space Centre to investigate.
* On Saturday, Ben is deposited with grandma (for his own safety) and we head to the Space Centre where we encounter Special Agent Sprucemoose, Agent Lola and Mission Specialist Kitty.
* SHIELD's tech division will have a list of things for Agent Glasgow to look for to see if the Space Centre has indeed been tweaked for HYDRA to use (suggestions for questions/things to look for welcome)
* SHIELD's tech division has provided Agent Glasgow with a) a disposable camera (as HYDRA have devices that can meddle with digital ones) and b) a laser pen that will scramble any HYDRA technology (actually, just a red dot laser pen, but they are cool)
* Agent Glasgow keeps a low profile, gathers the clues and scrambles HYDRA technology, and then we go home to get Ben
* Agent Glasgow will then need to give a Mission Report to a To-Be-Named SHIELD Commander (via mobile) and receive further instructions TELEPHONE/SKYPE NPC REQUIRED
*
The disposable camera will be deposited in a dead drop (location to be confirmed)
* Agent Glasgow will then have a conversation with a SHIELD Satellite Agent (TELEPHONE/SKYPE NPC REQUIRED) who will reveal that they have "hacked" a HYDRA computer but need a password, and instructions given how to retrieve password.
* On Sunday morning, Agent Glasgow will have decoded the location of the password and will go and retrieve the password.
* Having retrieved the password, Glasgow will head to the secret base of Agents Artichoke and Rogue who have the ability to access the hacked HYDRA computer (aka using the internet) to which Glasgow can provide the password
* The HYDRA site reveals the location of the missile and gas, so that Agent Glasgow can contact the To-Be-Named SHIELD Commander who can sent in a tactical unit.
* The tactical unit will capture the missile, and the gas, and rescue a prisoner, but Raptor will escape in case a sequel has any appeal
* The Free World is safe and there is debriefs and cookies for everyone.

So, I still need:
- SHIELD Commander Codename-Required (Telephone NPC 1x Sat and 1x Sun) - NPC brief available
- SHIELD Satellite Agent Codename-Required (Telephone NPC on Sat, which I think I asked Ni to do)
- Invisible ink message to be retrieved on Sunday
- Dead drop location for camera (I suppose it could be a developing shop, or my garden shed)
- List provided by SHIELD tech division of things to check for at Space Centre to look at what HYDRA is up to

I *think* that's coherent enough for a 6-yr-old, though I understand that this qualifies Duncan to spot the flaws in HYDRA's plans. I also hope its enough of a structure for the weekend; accompanied, as it will be, by Batman (both LEGO and Brave and Bold).

I can't provide an NPC as I am larping this weekend, however if you want to do a postal dead-drop I am happy to collect a disposable camera and have the pictures developed for you.

Invisible message done, and happy to be an NPC.

You are fantastic. i will be over about 20.30 to collect?

Also, do you want to pick a codename for your SHIELD agent?

If I cannot get a 2nd NPC, then you may need to double up

Half eight is fine! I'll give you Ellie's bulbs at the same time.

I think I'll be Agent Maidstone. And I don't mind doubling up if need be.

I can be at the end of Skype/Phone if you like.

Would you be OK to receive a phone call on Sunday afternoon (circa 3pm)?

The role is that of a SHIELD tactical commander. You'd be given a set of coordinates where HYDRA is hiding a warhead and pretty much thanking Agent Glasgow for the intelligence and confirming that it will be taken care of.
