Hey Solitaire,
How are you settling in? Where'd you end up anyway? We hadn't been assigned last time I saw you at training. I ended up in South Korea, the base is *OMITTED FOR SECURITY PURPOSES* outside this small town.
I don't know what I was expecting after becoming a field agent exactly. I mean, obviously we were never going to be sent out on a special assignment every other week with one of the regulars (or dare we dream—one of the Avengers team?), but I never imagined desk duty.
Seriously, 90% of the day here is spent monitoring radiation levels in the arctic regions, the other 10% is spent making and drinking the coffee necessary to stay awake while monitoring radiation levels in the arctic—watching grass grow would be more entertaining. We do still get training in basic maneuvers and hand-to-hand, but that only happens once a week, one blessedly un-boring morning a week. So far it's all basics, but there are rumors going around that we might be getting a specialist soon…No one has any idea who it'll be but I know who I'm hoping for.
So seriously, where are you? And for that matter, what's your real name? It's great that you had your codename figured out already and everything, but if we ever wanted to meet outside of a highest-level security facility a name would be helpful. Is anything interesting happening at your end? We can only hope that you didn't end up on desk duty, or that if you did, it's for something more dynamic than minutely shifting radiation levels (the aurora should be lovely right now if you're anywhere that far north).
Speaking of codenames, everyone here already has theirs figured out. I guess staring at a wavy line for hours gives you plenty of time to think. I still don't know. This is something that's going to stick with us forever; I can't just pick anything to get it over with. What if we end up regular agency names, like, for example, Hawkeye? That's an awesome name! I'm willing to bet he didn't pull it out of a hat. Solitaire is right up with its thinly veiled awesomeness too, and I'm sure you spent some time on it. Why can't I think of anything?
Anyway, I hope you're settling in alright, with a good team and a decent location. Can't wait to hear from you, it's only been a few weeks since basic training but I miss you already!
Sincerely,
Amy Morgan (Agent Amy Morgan)
SHIELD Base 445-160
