MISSION DEAD AS A DODO
Mission Brief: Somebody is on an extinction operation, stealing all the
last specimens of highly endangered species. This mysterious crook has
somehow managed to discover the impossible – a living specimen of
Raphus cucullatus, aka, the dodo. Yes, the same flightless bird that was
hunted to oblivion in Mauritius more than 300 years ago!
This dodo has become the single most priceless creature on the planet
and it must be rescued immediately. Without delay, Animal Intelligence
Agency agents are assigned to this urgent mission.
NOTE: The Animal Intelligence Agency is a multi-species nongovernmental
agency. Specially trained Animal and Human agents
work undercover to save animals and save the world. Some of them
have a licence to kill.
Agent no. 002
Species: Panthera tigris tigris
Name: Bagcha
Currently the only agent with a licence to kill.
He is the most dangerous and experienced operative, with the scars
to prove it.
Agent no. 015
Species: Semnopithecus entellus
Name: Kela
This operative was formerly a disgraced agent, stripped of his number.
However, after his sterling performance in Mission Tiger by the Tail,
his number and privileges have been restored.
Agent no. 11.5
Species: Homo sapiens sapiens
Name: Rana
One of only two people in the world who use JungleSpeak to
communicate across species. Extremely good with computers and all
things tech. Far from dangerous or lethal. However, his intelligence is
a real contribution to a mission. His allergies are a real problem.
Indications are that the mission will take the agents to Mauritius,
America, and as far off as the Arctic Circle and the North Pole. They
must not fail, come what may. This dodo must not die.
