Valentine’s Day Tragedy

POPULARITY – 151 views

Thalia sat nervously in her luxurious villa in France, dressed in her finest attire and waiting for her date to arrive. She had spent the entire day getting ready, making sure everything was perfect for their special Valentine’s Day dinner. She had even gone as far as to light candles and play soft music to set the mood. But as the minutes ticked by, her date failed to show up.

Thalia grew increasingly worried and called his phone, only to be met with a recorded message saying that the number was no longer in service. Just as she was about to give up hope, a shadowy figure appeared at her door. Thalia’s heart raced as she opened it, expecting to see her date, but instead, the figure handed her a note and quickly disappeared into the night.

Trembling with fear, Thalia opened the note and read its contents. The note was entirely encoded and it was identified as being from a criminal syndicate called “The High Guard.” Thalia’s heart sank as she realized that something bad has happened to her lover. She knew that she had to act fast to decode the note if she wanted to save him.

Thalia quickly changed out of her best clothes, headed towards her forensic lab, notified the Tiberian Order for aid, and began decoding the note yet couldn’t help but think about all of the times she and her lover had shared together. She remembered their first kiss, the way he had looked into her eyes and told her that he loved her. She knew that she couldn’t lose him now, not when they had finally found true love.


Briefing

Greetings, Special Agent K

We have received a distress call from Thalia one of our Analysts, who has been the victim of a criminal syndicate known as “The High Guard.” Thalia was given a note by the kidnappers, but it is encoded with a complex algorithm that we have been unable to crack. We need your help in decoding the contents of this note in order to gain valuable information about the whereabouts of Thalia’s lover and the inner workings of The High Guard. Your expertise in cryptography and code-breaking is essential to this mission. We believe that the encoded note contains key details about the location of the kidnappers and the safe return of Thalia’s lover.

As always, Special Agent K, the contract is yours, if you choose to accept.
