I had an idea for an RP.
Our spies (plus any other nations') are trying to find out informatiuon on a top secret project in a country preferably communist and it sorta goes on from there. Not terribly well planned idea but should be interesting.

A communist nation is prefered preferably one with a large counter espionage agency or something, making it like cold war KGB v CIA operations.

All nations are welcome either to be on our side spying or on the adversary's side trying to stop us from gaining information.

(if this is a really bad idea, please tell me.)

interesting idea...I'll get back to you...maybe...

What the heck, Kelanthia is not doing anything currently... :)

Just so long as it stays realistic (no n00bs or silly people) and modern (or very-near-modern) tech, I'm game. :D

So is this a go or not?

Ferrussia sent me a good story idea so im gonna wait til he posts it here in more detail. Modern tech not futuristic, realistic as possible.

Excellent. :D Thank you much.

Hey! McCarthyist twat! You, James Bond, infiltrating communist countries...Just because we're socialist, doesn't mean we make evil plots...

You could place a spy twist into it, but the main concern was what horrors the United Socialist States of Zvarinograd does to it's children just to discover a way to train for perfect immunity to psychological warfare, complete breakdown of sentience and faster training.

Real spies do not advertise the fact that they are spies.

Your Point?

UE, do you want me to just start the RP with an RPish post? Or explain first?

explain first.

Sorry for the delay... school caught up to me and I just got HALO (Xbox) so I've been pretty busy... :wink:

Anyways, it'd be along the lines of a few foreigners in my country (or someone elses) are arrested and put on trial for espianoge. Controversy comes over the issue, and negotiations are possibly worked out in back channels and other means. I can post the first RP post, or UE can. It's up to Elias.

Remember the Monty Python sketch about "How not to be Seen" which dealt with camoflage? The narrator started out by asking his demonstrators to stand up, upon standing they were promptly shot. Eventually one bright chap learned not to stand up. The narrator said the vollunteer has learned the first lessn: Don't Stand Up. Or, in other words, if you mean to hide, remain hiding.

One of the Keys to being a successful spy is to NOT ACT LIKE YOU ARE A SPY. Going to a hostile (or even a "friendly") nation and desiring to spy upon them or a sector of that society, the first thing you should do is to take the sign off your back which says "I am a spy". Wearing such a sign will eventually make some person in authority suspicious.

I nce played in a RP game, face-to-face, where we were an ad hoc cluster of spies brough together for a mission. All too many of the players though they should act just like James Bond, all flashy and overt. My character blended into the background and was able to accomplish so much more than they did.

Remember, James Bond rightly is not a SPY, he is either a covert operative or an assassin, depending on the person doing the analysis. It is just that the word SPY is so much shorter and "sexier" than Covert Operative or the word Assassin.

Spies spy, those guys who blow up things or kill or even transport diplomatic pouches are not, rightly, spies.

Okay Ferrussia lets roll....

The scene opens on a steet lined with brownstones, a typical street in and unspecified part of New York City. There is the normal sort of traffic, both automotive and foot trafic. The camera starts to track two men and a woman, all dressed as typical of "professionals", as might be bankers or middle-management types.

The trio seem relaxed and in conversation as they turn to enter a business, what appears to be a laundry or tailor shop. The enter a small room in the back, while the attendant presses a hidden switch, releasing a hidden door. They then pass into a completely dark inner room. A humm, sound of electronic scanning. Suddenly another door opens, just a crack at first, but containing such a bright light as to temporarily blind anyone coming through the portal.

Next is a brightly lit room, where the trio passes in single file, passing through another gauntlet of inspections.

"You are late" says the gruff voice of authority.

"Yes, but we had to make sure we were not being folowed.

OOC: FYI, a hard drop is when someone drops something, hides it, lays it down, etc., and someone else comes and picks it up.

Kiev, Ferrussia
5:13 pm - October 24

Pavel Kotorski jumped on the subway at the last second. He would have preferred a more low-key method of entry, but it was unavoidable. The man he had been trailing had taken his time delayed getting on any one train until it was about to leave, forcing Pavel to follow suit. He only hoped he had not drawn too much attention. It'd didn't seem the man who he was following had noticed him.

The train, one of many in the Kiev Metro System, began it's short trip to the next station. He held onto one of the loops, and rocked with the accelerations and turns of the train. The man was gazing around uniterestedly, which probably meant he was watching someone or something without actually looking at them. Then he realized -- the man was watching him.

He must've noticed me jump on right after him, he thought. I came in a different door, but we were the last two to board the train...

He had to do something. Pulling out his cell phone, he called his op-number, which masqueraded as a hotel. In reality, it was the Counter-Espianoge Unit of the Ferrussian Department of Intelligence.

"Hello, this is the Kiev Suites Hotel, do you have a reservation?" came the voice that picked up.

"Uh, no I don't," he replied. "Could I request a room?"

"Certainly," came the response. "What room number?"

"Number 204," he said. He was glad he'd memorized the op-number for this one...

"Ah, yes. The computer is loading your request, can I help you with anything in the meantime?"

"Yes, could I get a taxi? I'm on the metro-east, where could they pick up my luggage?" Hopefully, another operative would be able to intercept the 'luggage' -- the man he was following.

"The nearest taxi would be avaliable in just a minute or two at Stations 54-57." The train stopped, and he looked at the station number. 53. The man stayed in his seat.

"That'd be excellent," he said. "Is the room confirmed?"

"Yes it is," replied the 'receptionist'. "Your luggage, I trust, is still the same?" Good, he thought. They've got his picutre. Thank goodness for video survaliance.

"Yes," he said. The train began to stop, and the man got ready to disembark. They were arriving at Station 54 now. "The taxi can pick me up at 55, then?"

"Yes, we can pick up your luggage at 54, if you like."

"That'd be perfect. Thank you."

"Thank you, sir," replied the receptionist. He hung up.

The man got off at 54. It didn't suprise him that this drop route had gone undetected for so long. Pavel had nearly lost him 3 times, and the man hadn't even made the second hard drop, yet he already had to call for someone else to pick up the chase. They had found their internal leak. Now they had to follow the string of hard drops, this man being the first in line, to the destination.

Pavel got off at Station 55.

5:22 pm - October 24

The to men sat in their innocuous black sedan, an old russian type that had not worn its years well.

"You think he's a live one?"

"Well he delivered in the past and it seems he's higher up than most."

"Hell, he gets paid more than we do, dman well should deliver."

"Gettin' a llitle concenrned the first drop should have been made by now."

"Think they picked him up?"

"Nah, if they'd found out about us, Id be more woorried about being followed."

"If he saw someone he might have aborted the op?"

"Quite Possible."

A few minutes later the infomrant is seen acrsos a busy street, trams rattle past. The man sits down at a bench for a few minutes and by the time a tram obsucres the view and passes he is gone.

"Okay lets roll."

The man in the passneger seat exits and elects to use the subway undrneath the street, he remerges and casually walks around and sits down at the same bench. Casually he 'notices' a discarded newspaper and using the simple code they had worked out he gleams an address from the man's entries into the crossword, he picks up the paper and folds in under his arm and waits for a tram to take him a few blocks where he'd join his colleague in the car again.

OOC: Sorry for the long absence. Got sick, and I've been real busy.

Dimitri followed the man casually through the semi-crowded tram station. With the utterly normal stride few on a mission like this could achieve, he followed the man closely, but not too closely. The man walked over to the roadside, where a car was waiting. Still walking, Dimitri quickly memorized the licence plate number as he walked toward the car. It began to pull out, and Dimitri was careful not to watch the car more than idly.

He pulled out his cell phone.

"They're driving a black Moskvich 2142 Knyaz Vladimir," he said. He gave them the license number and was asked for the tram station they were at. (Metro/Tram map of Kiev (http://www.metropla.net/eu/kie/kiev.htm) - tram is the yellow)

"Ivana Lepse station."

Survaliance cameras in the area watched the car, and soon a car was following them. It stayed a block or more behind, recieving directions from an operator with the FDI-CEU. A helicoptor was put on standby.

His job done, Dimitri walked to the next tram station and got on a tram back to his car.
