Agent W

The assignment was clear the second you walked through the wooden framed door at I.O. Academy. It was magnified 100x on the whiteboard: protect Allison Frances.

Two years later, you, Agent W, aka Jamie Lennon, are still here, playing the part of a meek, nerdy student. You sit in your preferred front seat, observing the other students like puppets, while secretly longing for the action of your true life.

Your quiet routine is disrupted when a boy sitting behind you pokes your shoulder. It's Liam Carter, the new transfer student, who immediately sets about annoying you with requests for homework answers.

Later, after a frustrating encounter with Allison and her friends that reinforces your disguise, you find yourself on the school roof, a sniper's preferred high ground. A call to your contact, Axel, offers a brief connection to your real world and a potential avenue for information on Liam.

Back in the chaotic cafeteria, you realize Allison is gone. A quick search reveals her talking to a hooded figure near the girls' bathroom. Eye contact with the figure sends shivers down your spine, and when Allison leaves, the figure is gone, leaving behind a small black ribbon that smells like metal. This seemingly insignificant object, along with a mysterious red ring you later find in a box Allison discarded, are your first concrete clues in two years, hinting that your mission is far from over and the true danger is only just beginning to reveal itself.
