-====== ISC Lindorm ======
-ISC Lindorm was a [[guide:roleplaying|roleplaying]] plot created October 21, 2017 by [[guide:game_master|GM]] [[user:kim]]. The story follows the Operatives assigned to Operation Radiant Serpent. The players are presented with puzzles and challenges that they will have to tackle with creative thinking as they navigate their characters through an unknown culture and attempt to maintain their cover of a cargo transport company.

The players will set the tone for what the mission is able to accomplish based on what they decide to do once they set foot on Leningrad.

-==== How to Play a Spy====
-  * **You don't have be a playboy/play girl to get information.** It is a viable method of getting information over time but just being a good listener and asking people questions can get you the same results. Have you ever tried to not tell your aunts or grandma something or that overly friendly neighbor?
-  * **Talk to people.** If you want to know something beyond what you can find on an advertisement, talking to the people that work in an organization or living in a place is the best way to find out how things really are.
-  * **Ask questions.** You won't know unless you ask.
-  * **Go for the obvious sources first.** Library, news, social media, the internet.
-  * Don't claim to be able do something that you can't do. Sometimes, you can get more information out of someone by playing dumb rather than being the expert.
-  * **Be patient.** Gathering usable information can take time.
-  * **Stay in character.** You don't want to draw unwanted attention and you want to blend in. There could be other spies looking to identify you.

-This starship prefers [[stararmy:saint]] [[stararmy:occupations:intelligence_operative|Operative]]. Non-SAINT personnel will be tested and evaluated for suitability before being sent through the [[stararmy:saint_training_activity]] and [[stararmy:saint_conditioning|Indoctrination]] process to be read into the Radiant Serpent mission. Each operative will be assigned a mission area to report on and will need to gather information from their own contacts and their fellow crew to compile the information. All crew will be skilled in all aspects of making sure the [[stararmy:starships:isc_lindorm]] stays functional and will be able to utilize all specialized equipment on board.
-This is a clandestine forward deployed intelligence gathering mission that requires players to think outside the box to gather information from human and other sources about another faction. All cover stories will include a plausible reason as to why the crew member is on the Lindorm moving cargo. Assignment to the cover positions will be reflected in their cover story. Every operative will have a human appearance and the ability to produce human blood samples.
-==== History ====
-[[calendar:ye 39]] : [[stararmy:saint]] Operative [[stararmy:ranks:shosa]] [[character:npc:kitsune hachimitsu]] saw the potential threat of a new nation of humans rising from beneath the Chen Nebula and drafted a mission plan for Operation Radiant Serpent to investigate the emergent threats.  Once she was given authorization, she began to search through [[stararmy:star army of Yamatai]] personnel databases and alternative means in other databases and agencies to found potential candidates for the mission.
-Shosa Kitsune was pleased by her candidate pool and began her recruitment trials to test her candidates suitability to perform under duress with numerous unknown variables. The candidates that successfully completed the tests were allowed to progress to Star Army of Yamatai basic training if they were civilians and then SAINT training for further suitability which was followed by SAINT Operative training....
