UPDATE

There were less than 12 hours till deadline. Agents Lefanis and Cren targetted Agent Telrunya. A simple matter of survival or was there something behind the scenes? Neither was telling... Agent Ketchum kept his peace. A tell or was he planning something? No matter what, who ever was targetted for lynching would have to pull out all the stops to survive... The scene was set and the clock was ticking.

[Telrunya]

Fury did say we had to go for the improbable, no matter how improbable it was. I guess the Thing did attack itself to cause a ruse.

DEADLINE 11

VOTE Telrunya - Lefanis #285, Cren #286
VOTE Lefanis - Telrunya #289

While they didn't admit to it, it was highly suspected that Agents Lefanis and Cren used underhanded means to gain the advantage. Nothing wrong there, when it came to survival it was kill or be killed. Lefanis claimed to be the Black Operator and presumably used his skills to hack into the CCTV feed to find out who was active and who wasn't and made his decisions from there. Cren who claimed to be the Medic used his presumably medically-implanted cybernetic enhancements to project supposedly recorded data of his observation as proof of his role. Both were suspected to have formed an alliance and their target was... Agent Telrunya who cut a forlorn figure with no support and gave a half-hearted attempt at reasoning his way out. In the meantime, where was Agent Ketchum?

With glee and confidence that they had gotten something right, Lefanis and Cren approach Telrunya, waving the voting box in his face. They drew the votes one by one and read the names out loud.

Unbeknownst to everyone - or perhaps almost everyone, a hidden hand had stealthily removed the last vote cast. With a smirk on his face, Lefanis said in a playful voice, "Oh that's funny. Your vote's not here, Telrunya", to which Telrunya replied, "Well, that's because I unvoted and took it out at the last minute."

There was dead silence. That meant... that the last vote cast... which the hidden hand had removed... was... Cren's. oh !@#$. In a flash Lefanis and Telrunya drew their fire-piece and pointed it at each other in a face-off but as the rules of the voting requirements were not met (a minimum of two votes was needed for a lynch) they just stood there until everyone got bored and went to bed.

And in the night, Cren was heard screaming like a little girl saying "Oh please please stop I won't do it again I promise! I've been a bad boy I know I know Don't bite it OFF nNnOOOO!!! OMG!!!"

Coincidentally, Ketchum was later found wounded as well.



Cren is attacked and wounded.
Ketchum is attacked and wounded.

Man, I can sleep peacefully now that I survived that night. Phew.

My arm was getting heavy holding that gun up all day!

That move was inspired, gotta give it to you.  ;)

[Ketchum]

Agent Ketchum moaning in pain and points at Lefanis. He is the one, the one...

VOTE LEFANIS

[Ketchum]

Agent Ketchum has a scar on his face, resulted from the first wound attack. After last night, he has another scar on his hands and body. No matter. He will get Q help to sponsor him the plastic surgery. After all, Agent Johnny English does have a bit of plastic surgery. It is an Agent benefit to be able to change himself and adapt to the environment. Ops, shhhh....

For now, tonight is the important night. He loads his gun and posts his analysis.

GM Hints

Deadline 1 - clue on number of
Deadline 2 - clue on shot
Deadline 3 - clue on number of
Deadline 4 - clue on different nature
Deadline 5 - the Ghost and the Darkness
Deadline 6 - clue on (eh what?)

Deadline 1 - clue on number of
The only number I can find is "MI6" and "a few of its more miniscule body parts".

My Analysis: There is number 6 in MI6. Cannot be 6 Things running around, that is not right. "A few" meaning I search from Google is either 2 or 3. The clue here means 2 or 3 Things running around.

Disturbedyang: No Analysis.

=====
Deadline 2 - clue on shot
The only statements that I am on.

"Agent Lefanis was moaning in a corner that he lived to die another day while Agent Sonya dared him to repeat some comment made before the explosion and immediately Lefanis voted to have her lynched but he didn't meet the minimum requirement. Then they started arguing. Apparently, there was still residual sparks from the blast"

"D'Espana was heard talking about planting a bomb in someone's donkey."

My Analysis: There is no shot fired by any MI6 agent. The only thing here is the blast and the bomb. Looking back at Disturbedyang analysis, he gets the blast part correctly. Foreign Agent huh? Either one or two Foreign Agents among Agent Lefanis and Agent Sonya.

Disturbedyang Analysis: Anaylsis - So what does planting a bomb in someone's donkey means? I can't relate any character to it. Perhaps a foreign agent? And clue on shot...what shot? There are no shots at that time...

=====
Deadline 3 - clue on number of
My Analysis: Two attacks. One failed attack on Agent Lefanis, he managed to run away. And one successful attack on me, wounded me for the first time.

Disturbedyang Analysis:
"I am surprised M still hired you as their..." to Ketchum
There were two attacks. Only the one on Ketchum was succesful. The one on D'Espana failed.
Analysis - Sounds to me like a good guy character, as if he is hired by M.

=====
Deadline 4 - clue on different nature
Statement I am on.

At the same time, another voice started screaming in the dark. Agent Thomasgriff had finally appeared and he collapsed in the main hall where people could see that something had scraped the following unfinished sentence into the back of his head:
"Send my regards to M or is it your other..."

My Analysis:
Two natures with the "or" word used. At this point, we yet to determine Thomasgriff role as Bodyguard which we knew later on. Nature? The Thing victim screaming, hmm.

Disturbedyang Analysis:
The only thing i can see during this deadline is this...
"Send my regards to M or is it your other..." to Thomasgriff
Same thing, two attacks. The one on D'Espana failed. But the one on Thomasgriff success. Fury also gave hint to the Thing to attack someone that is less active.

Analysis - It seems that this might mean Thomasgriff is a foreign agent. M or your other boss i believe... is what the hint is trying to tell.
