Introduction &
History
The galaxy-renowned Hawkeye Agency is a
top-secret intelligence firm. We deal in the
information business - gathering what we can and
offering it for sale to the highest bidder. We
don't take sides and we don't care who you end
up working for - as long as you do your job.
Keep yourself alive and you may live to get your
rewards.
The Hawkeye Agency was established about
twenty years ago by Admiral Tibelius Marconi, an
experienced Intelligence director of many
different (and sometimes rival) factions. Since
then our staff has grown to nothing but the
finest agents from all over the galaxy. However,
none of these agents are a part of the Emperor's
Hammer, and we feel the need to "acquire" some
agents from the largest Imperial faction in the
galaxy. We will accept 20-25 agents based on the
results of the Qualification
Test.
We use the most sophisticated technologies in
our intelligence-gathering missions, some of
which you will have to use should you be
accepted as an agent (see Datapad
Tools).
So why should you become a Hawkeye Agent? The
rewards are big. We've arranged so that you'll
be handsomely rewarded in your own subgroup of
the EH with nice
big medals. Plus after you've completed ten
missions, we will write up transcripts of the
missions and all your friends can gaze in awe at
your intelligence-gathering skills. Also, it
makes a good (unofficial) addition to your ID
line: "IO Project Hawkeye Agent" as well as to
your career resume in the EH.
All our agents are selected with great care
and meticulousness, being checked at least two
or three times. Only the finest, sharpest-minded
and most creative are selected to be agents.
Therefore when applying to any position in the
EH you may include the Certificate of
Completion of Project Hawkeye. Good for
your credentials eh?
Security
As we said earlier, we don't take sides. That
means we don't care who you work for. Should the
opportunity arise for you to complete missions
for a rival faction to the EH, you may (this has
been cleared with the High Court of
Inquisitors). We have our own authority in this
matter from the Emperor's Hammer, and you make
work as you please.
However, one thing we ARE very strict about
is security. If anyone is caught cheating with
another agent, or even revealing that they are
an agent to anyone outside of the Hawkeye
Admin Staff will be dealt with swiftly. This
includes action being taken by the Security
Officer and High Court of Inquisitors, and
charging with a violation of article 404
(Failure to Obey Order or Regulation). We are
very serious about this matter. Do not try us.
We reserve the right to question any agent or
even eject the agent from Project Hawkeye if we
should reasonably suspect any cheating or
information-giving (see Rules).
Also, any transmissions sent by Hawkeye
Agents having anything to do with their missions
MUST be sent via the Hawkeye Transmission
Software (see Datapad
Tools). This is because we want to make sure
your e-mail is going to the right person/people.
The ONLY addresses you may send regular e-mail
to is ari@ehnet.org
and office@ehnet.org
for technical support ONLY. We will not provide
hints. Constant abuse or spam will result in
ejection from the Agency pending further
action.
Missions
Accepted Hawkeye Agents will have to complete
10 missions for their Tour of Duty with the
Hawkeye Agency. In order to proceed to the next
mission you must complete your current
one. Upon completion of all 10 missions, you
will receive the Certificate of
Completion and await further orders.
Mission Completion
Your mission objectives will be specified by
the e-mail you receive as soon as the mission
starts. You must send the information requested
to the address specified in your mission
briefing in a Hawkeye Transmission. If
you do not, we may not receive it, and you won't
pass the mission until we do. Your performance
in Hawkeye will be judged by the number of
missions you complete (see Rules).
Mission Failure
Mission failure can occur two ways: a)
Submission of an incorrect answer to the mission
completion address specified in the mission
briefing, or b) taking three days or more
to complete a mission without an excuse (such as
school or work).
If you fail a mission by the second way, you
will have two more days to complete the mission.
If you do not complete the mission by then you
will be ejected from the Agency.
However, if you fail a mission by the first
method, you may continue on with the mission.
However, should you fail that mission or any
other a total of two more times, you will be
ejected from the Hawkeye Agency. If ejection
occurs during the first week of operation of
Hawkeye, we may bring an alternative agent to
take the ejectee's place.
Your goal is to complete all 10 missions
within 3 weeks (March 3 - March 24). Should you
finish earlier, this will be noted. Good
luck!
Datapad Tools
When you log in to the Hawkeye Datapad, you
will be provided with a few of Hawkeye's
custom-designed tools:
Transmission Software
Essential for your career in the Hawkeye
Agency - provides highly secured routing of
transmissions. All your outgoing mail relating
to Hawkeye should be sent via this and not
e-mail. Required fields: send to, subject,
body.

may encrypt or decrypt with the same form, just
be sure to mark the correct option.

Occasionally you may find some comments appended
by the sender. Old voicemails will be retained
in your box.

highly recommend you make use of this
tool.

Genome Fabricator
Latest breakthrough in genetic research that
allows you to calculate the precise genetic code
of any person based on certain features (name,
planet of origin, eye color, hair color, height,
weight, gender, glasses). The code is given in
C's, G's, A's and T's.

Search Engine
Custom-designed search engine tool which
allows you to access documents most relevant to
your Hawkeye missions with minimal sifting
through irrelevant sites.
Rules
Winning of the competition will be based on a
variety of factors including time of mission
completion, forms of contact, creativeness, etc.
Players will have three weeks (March 3 - March
24) to complete all 10 missions. In the event
that a player does not complete Mission 9 by
12:00 AM EST on March 24, they will abort their
current mission and will be skipped to Mission
10 (a feedback type of thing for us).
In order to be recognized and to receive the
Certificate of Completion, players
must pass all 10 missions successfully. In the
event that they do not have time to complete all
the missions, but they do complete Mission 10
(deadline is March 24, 8:00PM EST), they will
receive a Certificate of
Participation. We do not expect everyone
to complete all 10 missions, and therefore the
awarding of medals will vary greatly. TC Members
who do not place in the top 3 of their subgroup
will receive an IS-BR for participation.
Ejections will be conferred only be Internet Officer
Ari. Any appeals about the ejection will go
to him. His decision is final. See Mission
Failing in the Missions
section.
Best of luck,
Agents!
