I had been sitting in a briefing room with my comrade in arms of the newly formed DSEA and to be honest I was daydreaming or actually seeing visions of the future but I will get back to later. The night had passed and my dreams had been filled with glimpses of images that I was still trying to piece together. We had all retired to our rooms the night before and when I rose I found a note asking that I be at the meeting room by 9am. Roy had returned and looked quite sporty in his Eagles T-Shirt as if from some secret mission to join us and be part of said briefing. The day was Saturday July 10th 2011 and I was starting to feel like I had joined the military I mean really 9am give me a break.
Very little was revealed during our so called briefing regarding Melissa and Iain but Agent Summers had seemed to do her best I am sure. She had of course fully healed by then actually both her wounds and her cloths both had returned to a pristine condition even before we had arrived back at the Motel even before we had returned to base but that is perhaps another tale of a Class Four or Five Threat. Although I will admit it’s entirely possible that I was caught up in my visions and may have missed important details.
Before Agent Summers had closed our little briefing she had informed us that the so called Director of the DSEA known as the Professor felt we needed to be trained in Team Cohesiveness and Operations. Wow I was literally stunned speechless over the whole affair I mean did they really believe with a loner assassin like Eagle Eye in our midst we could pull that off. Its worth they were actually offering a number of other classes in Survival, Firearms, Surveillance, Forensics, Parapsychology, Occult Lore, and even Computer Science. Agent Summers continued to explain we would be taking the week long course TCO starting that very day and our guest instructor would be arriving shortly. She then as if saving it up for last before she left told us that the DSEA would be following a policy of full disclosure. It seemed we would have an hour before our instructor arrived to discuss ourselves among ourselves since when we returned to our rooms we would find detailed dossiers on everyone.
I had chosen that moment to speak up and said “Really do they really expect that to work?” Gunslinger chose that moment to speak up. “Well sure why not why don’t you start.” I had looked at him like the stranger that he was and replied. “Feel free to do the honors the pleasure should be yours.” He decided to take up the gauntlet which then slowly moved around the conference table with of course some being more forthcoming than others as I had expected. I mean seriously did I really want to know the personal details of the life of a cold blooded assassin like Eagle Eye. I had spent most of my life making sure I did not have that kind of information since a warning my Father had once give me. He had told me “Amanda always stay mindful of the quiet one’s for you never know when they may suffer a psychotic break.” Don’t get me wrong I was not calling Eagle Eye crazy far from it but his view of reality was far different from mine and while his skills might very well prove necessary I would have much preferred if they did not.
Flint Cascade was therefore kind enough to take the floor first. --------------------------------
Revision
My method of telling this tale shall now take a quite different path as I shall admit I am more than just a little emotional and I will admit quite a few transitions have occurred since I last started my last entry so therefore I will move on but I will instead stop filling these pages with my own shall we say inner drama and deal more with the facts until I have dealt with said drama.
So moving on Flint Masters now goes by Cowboy and was before he joined the team was a former undercover special division New York cop who had killed an innocent. Agent J was actually named Jay Smith and was a former West Point Graduate Marine and Secret Services Agent who now used the handle Shade. While Roy Pruitt was a former NASCAR driver who claimed the title Racer X. Randal Cole or The Voice since he was only in his former life a tabloid reporter kept his name as gifts of Illusion allowed him the luxury. Eagle Eye our resident assassin chose to keep his handle as well and who knows if his story is real or contrived such is his nature so I will him the mystery he wishes to be. Meanwhile my own cover was blown and as my codename as the Transporter was still my valid CIA codename I adopted one for DSEA missions of Future.
We were required by the DSEA to attend teamwork classes for a week designed to allow us to integrate our abilities into a productive unit which concluded so ten days later with being introduced to the Gauntlet test site. An old family friend Jason Borez or Agent Frost to the others had been our trainer and the test was in the end nothing more than a trip in a virtual mindscape. Oddly it had been designed to teach us the meaning of a no win scenario.
So it came to pass was then July 18th 2011 and I awoke early from a bad vision as it were. I had seen myself in a nondescript bar and a handsome gentleman was motioning for me to come with me and I seemed utterly compelled to accompany him. So when a few hours during a briefing where Agent Summers revealed to us what I will call the rest of the story and I had a vision concerning the New York Metro Museum I had a feeling the events were connected.
My vision which had included a Black man in voodoo makeup along with three others and a Caucasian male had been discussing if what they sought was in the museum and they were told by the voodoo faced man that indeed it was. I also was able to determine that the event I was viewing dealt with a date in the near future August 5th 2011. My vision had been triggered by the New York Times newspaper that had been left on our meeting table.
With the aid of the newspaper, Cowboy, Agent Summers and Eagle Eye we were able to eventually determine that the object they were seeking was the mythical Cup of Dionysus which had it seemed somehow entered the private collection of artifacts reputed to have come from Queen Dido former Queen and founder of the ancient Greek city know as Carthage. The Cup was of course some component to a mystical ritual which might disrupt the very Continuum itself.
With the aid of Eagle Eye and the Tech Michael Davis we were able to identify the Caucasian male from my vision as a British citizen Gregory Wilhelm. He had mysteriously vanished six months prior. On a hunch I asked him them to continue their search on similar disappearances around the same time period. Eagle Eye found a young woman named Sara Thomas who had also been a student of Archeology like Gregory and who had vanished around the same time. I asked him if he could search for her using his clairvoyant gifts and believe it or not he found her nearby in the Sanford Hotel in Queens New York.
Suffice to say that was going to be our next stop but of course first we had to acquire new cover identities and cloths to match the business district we were travelling into as not to as they say blow our cover. I helped the others choose appropriate attire and after double checking our credentials we were ready for our next move as Agents of the DSEA.
