This Week's Challenge:
Espionage played a significant role in gathering crucial information. Imagine you're a spy during the Manhattan Project. Choose three tools you would need to carry out your mission (e.g., coded messages, hidden compartments, or special gadgets). For each tool, write a short description of how it would be used and why it’s necessary. Then, Create a short mission scenario (4-5 sentences) where you use these tools to infiltrate an enemy facility and gather vital information. What are the risks involved? How do you ensure the mission's success? Also, come up with a spy name and backstory for your character. What makes them skilled at espionage? How did they get involved in this top-secret mission?
