1030hrs. Wake up. I quickly realize that I am hung over, but thanks to my escape-and-evade tactics, I am in a safe location on South Campus, far, far away from my dorm. Trek back to base camp. Prepare to gather intel on current target.
1200hrs. Refuse to accompany my roommate to lunch at Cowles. That would be suicide, soldier.
1245hrs. Based on intel, my target should be camping away in Noyce. Move out!
1315hrs. Target positively identified. Engage. Employ clever stratagem no. 1.
1330hrs. Negative confirmation on kill, violation of rules of engagement. Damn. Proceed to reconnaissance mode.
1615hrs. After hours of waiting, target and accomplice split like a banana. Pursue target and maintain cover.
1630hrs. While in target’s residence, a plot to flank me was unraveled, and I successfully terminated target. New target acquired.
1700hrs. Intel harvesting for new target commences.
2000hrs. Having starved myself, I proceeded with extreme caution, as always, to Subway. Even assassins have to eat fresh.
2351hrs. Make way to new safe location just off South Campus in OCCO housing. Possibly perform reconnaissance on target’s residence.
2359hrs. Target positively identified. Pursue tactical cover-up and employ clever stratagem no. 2.
0001hrs. Target falls into my clutches. Never trust an assassin. New target acquired.
0006hrs. Trek to new safe location for the night. Prepare intel harvest. Fall asleep, partially drunk, with guns in hand.
