Initial E-mail:

CPT Needa,

Due to your superb intelligence operations, the assault of the NIF cloning facility is almost complete. EH Forces have so far been astoundingly successful, taking close to 0% casualties, and will soon detonate the entire facility. There are some NIF High Command members hiding out within the facility, and we anticipate their capture and detention before the facility is finally destroyed.

You are to be congratulated on a job well done, agent! We have, however, one final task for you to complete. We would like you to write a brief summary report of what you have done during your time with EH Intel, whether you have enjoyed the experience, and what you require as a reward. Who knows, perhaps we may look forward to welcoming you into our ranks as a top-flight infiltration agent in the future!

Once you have finished your report, send it to the Census Director by Hawkeye Transmission (cnsdr@ehintel.org). He will personally hand the document to GA Ronin and see to it that you are amply rewarded for your work.

{Salute}

From SBM Flechette:

Ok, honestly, I haven't participated very much at all in Hawkeye due to school and some other real life matters; however, the parts I did participate in went well...it was a nice change of pace from the normal competitions I participate in. I only did the first two missions, and, after that, couldn't quite find the time to continue my missions, so I can't honestly justify any award for myself. :/ Great competition, though, I look forward to something else like this in the future. The only downside to this comp was that it was only opened to a few select members of the Emperor's Hammer - while it did add to the fun at first, I'm sure most people would have enjoyed a larger scope competition that they could have participated in.

From FA Kumba:

Where to start....Hmm. Hawkeye I must say was quite an adventure. I wasn't fully expecting the scope of some of the missions; some had quite a nice twist to them. Mission-by-Mission, we infiltrated the NIF, or Neo-Imperial Front, discovering one of their spies in the EH, and milking him for information about the NIF. Through this information, we uncovered a plot to assassinate and replace the EH Command Staff with NIF-Loyal soldiers, aptly named "Red Winter", and foiled it. We also discovered the NIF Cloning facility, and finally managed to destroy it through a joint operation with the Hammer's Fist. We did however lose our captured NIF Clone though. He was assassinated by another NIF Agent before we managed to eliminate the Cloning Facility. Despite him being a clone of the enemy, he asked that we not forget him. It was his information that helped us defeat the NIF.

As for a reward, well, the reward itself was the adventure of being with Hawkeye. If the Hawkeye Director and Admin Staff seek to further award members like me, then I leave that decision at their discretion.

Respectfully Submitted,
--Kumba


From COUNT Cathleen Eilis:

Evening, sirs. Cathleen reporting.

My very brief experience with Intel has been these five Hawkeye missions, which I found interesting. The first were a bit simple, but naturally they progressively became more difficult. Unfortunately, I was unable to move beyond the fifth mission when other commitments interfered.

I've only been involved in two inter-SG competitions: Hawkeye and Andevia, and I've found this a great experience. It would be wonderful if two or more agents could end up in teams at some point, perhaps towards the end. I don't know if this would be possible given the nature of the competition- hell, I don't know if it happened, since I *did* only complete half of it)- but it would be great to work with people from other subgroups.

As for rewards... I'll speak only in general terms, since I believe that participation itself shouldn't be rewarded. The reason I was so interested in Hawkeye was its elitist feel. You had to test, had to prove yourself before even being given a chance. I think that instead of awarding specific subgroup medals, there could be Hawkeye versions that are universal. Portray it as the Elite Covert Team, called in only when Intel needs a hand, or something along those lines. It should also be tied in with The Fringe


From PRM Tad:

As instructed, I have for you a debriefing of the events occured during my time with the Hawkeye Agency and during our incedent with the Neo Imperial Front.

After hearing reports of daring and bolds moves taken by the NIF, I was sent in to investigate by hacking my way through the NIF and obtaining their roster information. Upon doing so it was discovered that one NIF member in particular was playing both sides and thusly he was weeded out. During his detention, the prisoner had refused to cooperate with us and I was sent in to probe informtaion from him relevant for our medical officers to complete some of their standard tests.

While in wait for the lab results to return, IntOrg caught wind of an Operation codenamed "Red Winter," after some investigation on my part it was discovered the Red Winter was a threat to the EH via the use of clones and was to be derminated at all costs. I was able to locate the NIFs main cloning facility that powered Operation Red Winter and through some aid from our prisoner (shortly before his assasination) was able to provide the Hammer's Fist with some technical data regarding the facility, as well as information pertaining to the clones and an easy way to eliminate said clones.

The end result: IntOrg and myself have put an end to the NIF movements and their secret operation to overtake the Emperor's Hammer. I require nothing more than a thank you from the Grand Admiral himself and I will continue to serve Hawkeye Agency and IntOrg to the best of my abilities.

I recommend to you a swift and furious retaliation against the NIF. What they have done is an act of war, I say war it shall be.

From MAJ Prophet:

Sirs,
Before the summary of the missions completed I would like to say I enjoyed this and hope you do another group of missions like it.
To begin, I hacked into the NIF roster using the password hidden in the SO website. That was cool finding the password I thought. I enjoyed interrogating the prisoner. It was hard work and took two nights but I finally got it. It was really hard going through all the different possibilities trying to convince him to give me info and the answer was definitely an unexpected one.
For the 4th and 5th missions figuring the different Red Winter projects was fun. Guessing what was what and why was difficult. But the end decision in mission 4 had a lot of facts leaning toward the correct answer.
Mission 6 I thought was unoriginal. Although I understand its importance in the program it was unnecessary. Perhaps if there was more than just hit the encrypt button and send.
Mission 7 was fun going through the different sites, figuring out which 'tenasi verstratum' was the real one.
I thought overall it was a lot of fun and was sad I was unable to complete all the missions. Next time, give agents a tad bit more time to complete the missions. It was a lot of fun.
As a reward, how about a nice promotion to Colonel. :-)
Since that is not likely how about being allowed to participate in the next Hawkeye.


From CHS Slegr:

Well, foremost, I enjoyed the Hawkeye Project. Regretably I was tripped up by mission five trying to find the answer to those damned equations. My dislike of mathematics caused me to lose hope more quickly than I perhaps should have with the mission. I've since discovered that it was far more simple than I had initially estimated.

As far as my career, I scored fairly highly on the entrance exam as I have been told, and I feel that I did fairly well on the first four missions. I would look forward to being able to engage in other such activities in the future. It was a challenge, and it was fun as there was a plot which led us along rather than a couple of simple and mundane tasks which we knew of at the get-go.
