UNDERCOVER AGENT - DEATH

A few years back, you and your agency captured an honest-to-God alien - all that hard work scouring for extraterrestrial beings finally paid off. They were subjected to rigorous testing, of course, since you wanted to understand more about the potential threat posed by their race. And then they got away, much to the higher-ups’ annoyance.

For all you can understand why someone might flee this kind of kidnapping, you’ve been charged with bringing them back to Area 54 - and there’s a juicy promotion on the line if you succeed. You’re pretty sure they’re part of the Starlight Music Festival in some capacity - whether on the staff or a member of one of the acts, you’re not sure - but the alien’s gone and altered their appearance again, so going undercover and watching for suspicious behavior is your only option.

Especially since your first attempt at grabbing them, the night before the festival, netted you one (1) music group entirely composed of humans. Whoops. Still, there’s a few days left to find them, and you can surely do it in that time… right?

Plot Skill: Home Phone - You confiscated this from the alien fugitive a couple years ago. The boys and girls at the lab figure that it’s some sort of communication device and had been borrowing it in hopes of reproducing it. It’s a good thing they did, because that meant it wasn’t with the rest of the stuff you confiscated from them when they got loose. You know you probably shouldn’t try to use this, in case you bring a fleet of aliens down on the planet… but sometimes you want to. (OOCly, the tight beam communicator can be used to send messages faster than the speed of light, that can override all other signals in the direction it's aimed.)

Naturally at some point that piece of tech will get used because why else did Chekhov give it to me

Exactly.

(How do you feel about possibility of the secret agent club doing field recruiting/deputizing at some point?)

That sounds ripe for shenanigans. Naturally I am all for it.

Excellent. We may or may not ask you to, but it might be a good thing if it turns out investigators want secret agent training, since you get that (and the confiscated tech) in Area 54.

Hey, yo, either week two or week three, do you guys mind kidnapping Leonardo Da Vinci under the mistaken impression that he's an alien? And possibly interrogating him? Meta wants to know.

... you are the proud owner of my new favourite sentence. I am ALL FOR kidnapping Leonardo Da Vinci.

We'll call it the Da Vinci Disappearance. Also, you guys should drug him so he can incoherently message the network.

Poking after all those weird acting investigators to play into the eventual Da Vincinapping.

Hopefully eventually at least encountering dear Ziggy even if she doesn't figure out it's him.

Sounds good. Btw, my answers for Kitty and the Doctor's questions might be of interest to her and can be shared with the other secret agents. Here's Kitty's and the Doctor's:

Addressing her MASS WEIRDO BREAKOUT. Because if she wasn't suspicious before, she sure would be now.

And probably still looking for ZIggy but MASS WEIRDO BREAKOUT they are clearly dealing with something bigger. She'll be trying to find out where they went, how they did it and most of all WHO THE HELL ARE THESE PEOPLE?
