Summary

A secret agent is tasked with deciphering clues into a poem or prose to thwart a villain named Covidien, with the expectation to report suspicious activities and recruit more agents through a writing assignment.

Abstract

The website content is a call to action for a secret agent to engage in a covert operation against an enemy known as Covidien. The agent is instructed to incorporate five weekly clues—Hope, Vital, Measures, Unseen, and True—into a creative piece such as a poem or prose. This act of creativity serves as a means of communication and progress tracking among agents, with the ultimate goal of defeating the enemy. The agent is also encouraged to observe and report on any suspicious activities, suggesting that anyone could be an enemy agent. Communication and clue dissemination will occur through the Medium app and a group called The Bad Influence. The agent is reminded of the importance of their mission and is tasked with recruiting other talented individuals to join the cause.

Opinions

  • The content conveys a sense of urgency and importance regarding the mission.
  • It implies a high level of trust in the agent's abilities, as indicated by the mention of impressive credentials.
  • The use of literary figures like Poe and Hemingway suggests a reverence for writing and its power in the mission.
  • There is an underlying tone of camaraderie and collective effort in the fight against Covidien.
  • The task of recruiting new agents indicates a desire to expand the network of operatives working against the common enemy.

Good day, agent. A new threat has covered our city in fear and uncertainty. We need you to help from your chamber of solitude. Your degree of detail to attention and intuition will be your guiding force to defeat our common enemy, Covidien and his evil agents!

Starting today, I will show you 5 top secret clues that you will need to decipher into a poem or prose. Covidien will never suspect. Each of these words must be inserted into your text so that other agents are aware of your progress. I know that you can do this, your credentials are impressive.

Be sure to report on the suspicious activity of those around you and what you have learned of their actions. Anyone could be an agent of Covidien and we need to slush out those fiends for the safety of all.
