~I've got another…


Infiltrate foreign command:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Develop friendly relation with shop employees.
*This’ll allow you access to internal information.
Such as shipment-dates, product-availability, stock-quantities,
and most importantly the location of the ‘weapons grade plutonium.’
            (whops… got a little ahead of myself there…)

   Workin’ hard to keep this thread alive,

*Up until now I was unaware that “this’ll” was an actual accepted word!
        Sounds similar to thistle…              =)
