Covert Delivery NCI-3001/02 (Part 2 - Execution)
Lots of 'Cam related activity this evening - completed my first proper Neuromish, "Covert Delivery NCI-3001/02" between 6 and 7pm, and followed this up by creating my long-contemplated Neuroblog.
I opted to bus it out to the 'secure transfer location' alone (haven't told any of the handful of people I know in Melbourne about my involvement with Neurocam yet. Maybe I should. Hmm). Initially misinterpreting the scale of the provided map, I spent about half an hour wandering around - as inconspicuously as I could manage, naturally - looking for the safe over a much wider area than necessary.
I almost gave up, before twigging to my misunderstanding and sighting what was pretty unmistakeably the 'camouflaged' repository in question. It was nestled in a not-orthodoxly-accessible area, which required some minor clambering to get to, cunningly disguised as a piece of rubbish. It was, impressively, cemented in place.
Inside were somewhere in the region of thirty-odd envelopes - mostly small white ones, and a few slightly larger manilas. All were stamped with the familar "NEUROCAM GET OUT OF YOUR MIND" insignia and had operatives names scrawled on them in biro. Looking through them to find mine, which was one of the manilas, I spotted a few familar names, and a lot of unfamilar ones.
Wondered whether I should be more thorough (count the envelopes, note down the names etc) but having already lingered too long in the region of the site, which was not particularly private, and being aware of the possibility - both from the assignment brief and from another, rather interesting feature of the location (which I'm keeping quiet about until I hear what others have to say about it) - that I was being watched and assessed for my discretion and conformity to proscribed protocol, I simply resecured the safe, pocketed my envelope, and vacated the area.
Opening it up once I got home, as per instructions, I found it contained my "official Neurocam Identifier" - a small red button badge featuring a distinctive glyph of an eye encircled by the letters "N - E - U - R - O - C - A - M" and a form letter on Neurocam letterhead from Bridget Fischer (square brackets = handwritten bits):
So I fired off the following to Chuck:
