Operation Guardian
Part one of the plan has been successful. I have managed to become a Death Eater. Dr. Riddle himself welcomed me to the group, however, I thought it wiser not to act against him at this time. There are rumors that he's found a way to achieve immortality and making a move in the open like that would only blow my cover. Anyway, I'm not here to destroy Dr. Riddle. My goal is Project Locket. I currently have no leads, although both Kreacher and myself are staying alert for clues. Personally, I think we need to get deeper into the organization before we can learn anything. But who knows? Sometimes the most important clues are found in the least expected places.
On a separate note, the food here is terrible. It's like some sort of world-wide phenomenon; evil can't cook. I remember that time I got captured by the evil professor in Africa. He tried to feed me bugs. Of course, he was torturing me at the time, so that might not be the best example. Well, I know the French Mafia eats overcooked slugs. I wonder if inability to cook triggers some sort of chemical deficiency in the brain, resulting in megalomania. Or maybe it's the opposite; megalomania causes an inability to cook. I should study this once I finish Operation Guardian.

I've finally found a clue. Well, actually, Kreacher found it. He was hanging around the ELFs in the kitchens and he heard one of them mention a locket. After hacking into its brain structure, he discovered that Dr. Riddle has been searching for a very specific locket for several months now. It may have nothing to do with my mission, but I don't think so. I don't believe in coincidences. After all, we don't even know what Project Locket actually is. It seems quite likely that there is an actual locket involved. Besides, there are only two reasons I can think of for Dr. Riddle to be searching for a specific locket. Either a) he has a really picky girlfriend, or b) he needs it for some nefarious plan.
Hold on. Kreacher just gave me the list of all lockets matching the description in the ELF's brain.
Oh no.
There's only one match. And it's the lost locket of Salazar Slytherin. That locket is rumored to have incredible power and, if used correctly, could give its owner immortality. This is really bad. I thought the rumors of immortality were only a joke. The last thing we need is an immortal megalomaniac.

I saw Agent Wormtail here today. That's really strange. I asked Agent Grease and he said that Agent Wormtail is here on business for the Order, but I'm not sure I believe him. Why wasn't I told about this? They told me about Agent Grease. Agent Prongs knows that I don't trust Agent Wormtail. What's to stop me from poisoning him or something and ruining their plans? Anyway, what are their plans? I'm here to investigate Project Locket, Agent Grease is here to gather information. Why is Agent Wormtail here? I've been advising headquarters to get another mole in here, but Commander Lemon Drop is very against risking any more lives than necessary. Or was. I've been debating confronting Agent Wormtail myself, but it's too dangerous. If he is a traitor, as I suspect, that would give away my position. Under different circumstances, I would take the fact that I haven't been discovered yet as proof that he isn't a traitor, or at least that he isn't planning on revealing me, but not this time. Agent Wormtail doesn't know my real name or even my appearance. He no doubt knows that Agent Basilisk has been sent here to investigate Project Locket. But we've never met face to face and I have an alias listed as my name in my file, and no picture. Agent Padfoot says I'm paranoid, but my job is usually gathering information or infiltrating the bad guys' headquarters. I can't really have my name and picture lying around for any traitor or sufficiently talented computer hacker to find. I'll have to be more careful with my investigation. Dr. Riddle may know that someone is investigating Project Locket

This is really bad. Agent Wormtail must have told Dr. Riddle about me.
I suppose I should explain. Today, during lunch, Dr. Riddle gave a presentation. And not just any presentation, a presentation on Project Locket. He claims that Project Locket is his plan to install small but powerful explosives in a series of necklaces, to be delivered to his enemies. It makes perfect sense. Too much sense. I'm worried. I fear that this is a fake, a plot to throw me off track. I'm extremely hesitant to contact Headquarters. As soon as I do so, I'll reveal myself. Dr. Riddle has the entire network monitored very closely. Even Agent Grease has no way to contact Headquarters. He delivers information in person, pretending to spy for Dr. Riddle.
Dr. Riddle claimed that the necklaces have been sent out and will arrive tonight. Agent Grease has already told me he can't get any message to Headquarters before that time without looking suspicious. His role here is much more important than mine. He can't be compromised. If anyone is to inform them, it has to be me. But if this isn't the real Project Locket, as I suspect, the consequences could be terrible. For all I know, this entire thing could be a bluff and he hasn't even sent out the lockets. Even worse, he could have sent out the lockets even if it is a bluff. What should I do? Agent Padfoot is on the list of those who will receive lockets. I have to warn him. But I have no way to contact him without giving away my position. Unless…
Hold on! I have an idea! It's risky, and it could still compromise my position, but it just might work.
I'll know tomorrow.
Thanks for reading.
Reviews make me happy :)
