This is my take on using a journalist and photographer to gain access to both generals "The Naturals" and "The Enhanced"

By establishing early Friday that there will be a journalist looking to conduct interviews with Dr. Tennyson, Verity Rogee and Justice McShaw, we hopefully can gain access to both camps that we are concerned about. We plant The Week Magazine at Black Cat's trailer, and let all the players grab a copy. Ought to stir up some interesting talk and speculation around the campfires Friday night. We let our journalist and photographer be seen taking pictures and talking with folks Friday ... particularly at the BBQ. Spiro ought to love the extra pictures.

Hopefully, even though there will be people there (OMHW & Paul), whom we have conned in the past, we can give the impression that the journalist and photographer are working for Spiro. Who knows, we all might be working for Spiro as we don't know what his real intent is here.

Have created a Press Identification Badge that I intend to have laminated with someones picture. Will also create several of these for our photographer(s). Who says we can only have one? Might want to switch off photographers so they get to play some also.

Also want to create several fake player cards in various colors. Figure that one color card of each type used, attached to the Press Pass, would provide some access to the base camps, if the player inspecting them doesn't look too hard. Need to wait and see if they will post a picture of the poster for this like they have for all the others. Now, I don't know what colors Spiro is going to use, but got lots of colored construction paper. Will make up a bunch of each color and have them laminated also.


Now further ideas for the journalist .. as he (must be a he because of the name), interviews various key players and other players on the field, he could be passing along rumors, or causing dissension among the grunts. An example might be:

"I have heard that the genetic enhancement treatment is sometimes rejected by the bodies immune system at a later date. Though rare, I have heard that it occurs more frequently in persons with blood type O and AB. I have also heard that a Doctor Davis has developed a dna screening test that can tell if a person would be susceptable to coming down with this disease."

Doctor Davis of course would be one of us, and if the player in question, should happen to meet Dr. Davis, and have his/her blood drawn, then we have DNA to sample and test against the "Natural" populace. This way, we hopefully can find a procedure to reverse the process.

Another example would be:

"I understand that Dr. Tennyson considers members of the "Enhanced" army to be expendable. I have heard that this is because members are taken from prisons, or found to have some sort of genetic defect that he finds objectionable and this is a good way to eliminate those that don't meet his ideals of the perfect human being, or someone that he deams unworthy of having their humanity genetically enhanced."

Can raise dissension among his own troops this way, and possibly gain some defectors.
