10/11/10 - MK vs. PK. Dude, what's the deal?!

  Yo, dude, 'sup?! It's too dangerous to talk like myself, so I'm not gonna do it! Name's "Lance", I'm 24, and we'll just pretend that I come from California in the sweet old U.S. of A! I live by the beach, surfing is my hobby...
  Did you know that looks are deceiving? You should. I know it, I've been deceiving people ever since I was 15.

  • Why? Cause I'm a specialist for COSIMK (Central Organization of Surveillance and Infiltration of Missionary Kids). 
  • In What? I'm good with numbers. 
  • My Mission? Simply this: confuse, confound, and otherwise make more difficult the lives of our rivals, the PK's!
  My job really isn't that difficult. It doesn't take much to get them going. It doesn't take much to get them confused and overwhelmed by the odds. Dude, if I, being the specialist I am, told them that the world were starting to spin slower than before, they'd believe me in a heartbeat! In saying all this, I do have to admit that they're not stupid, just slightly vulnerable. So what was my plan? What did I tell them this time? For starters, they all believe that I'm in charge of Intelligence Operations in Southeast Asia. These are the highest level of security, and the most dangerous to have information on. But see, they don't know what they think they know: the extent of our Intelligence Infiltration. 
  We, COSIMK, have this secret operation called 10/11/10, which is code for some coordinates on the map. My job was to make them believe that it was the date we would carry out our secret operation, even though said operation is already being carried out. 


Dude Factors:

  1. The PK's always have planted spies in our operations. Most of them are PK's that have also been MK's or the other way around. In other words, all the REALLY confused people...
  2. We know which people these spies are.
  3. Spies always ask too many questions.
  4. I only share the information that I want others to know. 
  5. Always say on "accident" what you really want known.
  It was quite simple really. I left little reminders on my computer screen and in my locker that said nothing more than 10/11/10. I crumpled one up and threw it in the trash. The crumpled one disappeared. The reminders were moved. I got upset, I took down the reminders, I hid away my calender, and caused a scene in my office. But inwardly, I knew I'd won! I have a bug planted in their office. I was there when the spy presented his information...
  
  "Look!" He said, with a thick Norwegian accent. "Big Shot had these all over the place. This is what I've been waiting for, for so long. I knew he was working on the secret operation, I just couldn't get any info. on it...look at it! It's got to be a date!"
  "Well," Came a long American drawl. "I suppose that means they're going to carry out his operation on October 11th..."
  Silence.
  "What do you mean October 11th? It says 10/11/10..." Amazement was in the voice of the Norwegian spy. 
  "Exactly," Came the drawl again, tone slightly changed to patronizing. "Tenth month, eleventh day, of the ten-"
  "No, no, no! You've got it wrong!" Came the exasperated to spy. "Tenth day, of the eleventh month, of the-"
  "What?! Now listen here, I don't know how they do things in your country, but in mine..."


  From there I tuned out with a smile. Two hours later when I checked in they were still at it! Voices hoarse, minds confused. 


  This is "Lance", signing out! Peace man! Stay sweet!

  1. Very fun premise. Love the concept of MK vs PKs. (or as Andrew like to call himself "a theologocal offspring")
