Special thanks to Starfire67 for leaving a comment and answering my question right! You go, you!

This tag is shorter than the previous two. It's a two-parter, though, but the second one won't probably be out until about a week or so. I still hope you enjoy it!

I doubt that's all I can come up with. I can strikeout the third item on the list, because who's the Strategic Mission Specialist in the team? This guy! That's right. I'm officially official. We haven't settled yet on my combat pay, but it's negotiable. If not Big D, then I can sweet talk my mom. I am interning, and she's told me that she believes good work deserves a good pay.

As far as the other items on the list, number six is currently in progress. I won't publish anything as is from this chronicle, of course, but it would be a good outline.

Number seven needs some work as I only know 'I like you' and 'te amo' right now. Then again, if I ask Chase to help me, maybe that can run smoothly and can happen sooner. Which does need to happen ASAP. She's getting prettier, and I'm not the only one noticing.

I don't really know why I'm being so morbid. I suspect it has something to do with being stuck in detention. Principal Perry's eyes have been on me like a hawk focusing on her prey, and the lunch ladies have been waving around their ladles like they're steel bats. It's only been days, but it feels like it's been forever.

I hate detention, but I guess this is the price I have to pay since I desperately wanted to go on that mission.

It's very much worth it. Oh, yeah, it's worth it. So far, I've helped Big D plan five mission strategies—all of them created while I was sitting at detention. And since Principal Perry went above and beyond in making sure that I have a special spot in her high-security prison, I made encrypted it to hide it in plain sight.

For example, The Gravity Notes refer to underground missions. I've used it only once, when drafting a blueprint for a mineshaft accident scenario. One just happened a few years ago. It will be for the best if we're prepared should it happen again.

The Leagues Notes refer to underwater missions. It's inspired by Jules Verne's novel, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea—the only book I bothered reading from cover to cover in English class. I have half a plan for that one. It's for emergencies that involve oil spills. Since Big D's pretty knowledgeable in that area, we decided to tag team.

Thus the half.

The Atmosphere Notes are for, as you guessed right, space missions. There are two blueprints for that one. The last one was a close call. It was in the event of a stray satellite suddenly shooting back into the earth's atmosphere and pummeling an entire neighborhood. I was so focused on organizing the details that I didn't notice Principal Perry looking over my shoulder.

Thank goodness she bought my 'It's for extra credit' alibi.

The Virus Notes are for missions that involve a potential virus outbreak that could affect a massive number of people. I won't get into details. It could be a little too much, especially considering the possibilities. Big D decided, after I turned in one of the plans, that that was enough for me. He said it was too frightening, and I'm too young to look into those kinds of cases.

I disagreed. I've seen enough epidemic movies that I've learned to stomach it. Somewhat.

After much, much deliberation, we made a deal. My involvement in those is limited. No arguments. Period. I knew Big D meant it, so I didn't push.

I've written all of the plans in this journal. I recently found out that I can send certain documents as an e-mail to Big D using this. And the beauty of it is that it looks just like a regular boring notebook (yes, it can transform to that, too)! It may look like I'm working on homework when I'm actually scribbling down ideas, or like I'm wiping something off the pages when I'm actually forwarding them to someone.

How great is that?

I really wish this gig would last for long. There's a lot of perks, and the job title's too cool to lose. Who knows? I might be even to cross off many things from my bucket list while I'm on the job.

Signed,

Leo Francis Dooley

In Missin' the Mission, what's the caller ID that appeared in Principal Perry's phone when Donald called her? Was it his name, or was it something else?

As always, reviews are very much appreciated! Leaving reactions about the recent episodes will be great, too. I like discussing them with others! :D
