Mission Briefing:

For Meryn Appleby, Lillith McKendrick,

Jack Miller and Ada Chang

Do not remove from the Mission Preparation Building

Do not copy or make notes

1. Sophie Ingram

Sophie Ingram was released from an unknown foreign prison in the year 2000 and travelled to Britain, claiming she wanted to make a better life for herself. Upon arrival, she started selling weapons to known terrorists. Terrorists found with these weapons claimed it was she whom they had received them from, but when her home was searched nothing was found.

In 2003 Sophie was found in possession of a number of weapons, but not enough to jail her for more than a year. Under threat of deportation, Sophie became more careful than ever but a worryingly large amount of groups and individuals were still found to have weapons allegedly supplied by her.

2. The Ingram Children

In 2005, Sophie finally received visas for her four children who immediately moved to Britain to join her. Until 2005, these children lived in Hong Kong with their Chinese father. This is why the four agents chosen for this mission all speak mandarin Chinese.

3. The role of CHERUB

Each CHERUB agent will befriend an Ingram child and attempt to gain entry to and search Sophie's home. They will also gain any entry about Sophie and her line of business as possible. Each agent will be placed in the same class as the Ingram in question. If it proves impossible to befriend said Ingram, the agent should try to befriend another, or a close friend of an Ingram.

The CHERUBs will be posing as the adopted children of mission controllers Gabrielle O'Brien and Connor Reilly. To minimise confusion, all agents will keep their normal first names but replace their last names with the name Bryson.

Below is who each agent will attempt to befriend.

Lillith McKendrick – Jia Ingram

Jack Miller – Shun Ingram

Meryn Appleby – Xiang Ingram

Ada Chang – Kun Ingram

NOTE: On the sixteenth day of July 2009 this mission plan was unanimously accepted by the CHERUB ethics committee.

-This mission has been classed as HIGH RISK.

-All agents are reminded of their rights to refuse to undertake this mission or withdraw from it at any time.

Ada finished reading the briefing.

"Well, what do you think?" Connor asked, leaning over the desk and steepling his fingers slowly.

"I'm in," Ada grinned, "I just hope Kun likes me."

Thank you for reading! Please review, I love hearing what you think!

I know that was VERY SHORT I just kind of wanted to introduce the mission. Chapters will get longer from here on out.
