Well, so far Duncan has received a message from Nick Fury asking if he would like to work for SHIELD. Consent to be indicated by putting a picture of a 3-eyed robot in his bedroom window to be seen by SHIELD Agents. This was duly done with some enthusiasm, I have been told.
Tomorrow Duncan receives his Mission Briefing Pack, including ID card.
Meanwhile, big thanks to the awesome
avantman42. Not only for pointing out a handy child-friendly ROT-13 tool, but also in setting up a couple of websites for Duncan to "hack" (by getting clues to the passwords). Russ assures me that his motives are not selfless as any foundations laid now will benefit Douglas in the not-too-distant-future. Nevertheless...

Some development work is required if anyone feels like providing some (age appropriate) content for links. The current links are placeholders and right-click opens existing PDFs that have been done for the briefing pack.
Thanks to others who have expressed willingness to help. I'm still developing the framework/plotline, so its all up in the air.
As to it being Awesome, well, I hope so. My main motives are to stay sane in the care of three children, which is naturally best done by pretending to be secret agent. I believe it work for Vin Diesel, or something. I suspect there are a bucket of awesome ideas that will not be implemented this time around, but this is a prototype/work-in-progress with no requirement to be an isolated event. In fact, the ultimate hope is that it won't be.
