Missions
Six mission briefs — objectives, complications, and open questions. Fan fiction fuel.
1. Quiet Crossing
Objective: get a courier across the city unseen by midnight. Complication: the planned route floods at 2200. The question: reroute through the old town (fast, exposed) or wait it out (safe, late)?
2. The Handoff
Objective: cover a twelve-hour overwatch on a handoff. Complication: the handoff moves up six hours; relief never arrives. The question: how long does patience hold when the plan dissolves?
3. Paper Trail
Objective: find which mission the Auditor can’t explain — before the Auditor does. Complication: the answer implicates a source the team promised to protect. The question: the truth, the team, or the mission?
4. Breach School
Objective: the Rookie’s first live breach, mentored over comms. Complication: comms die at the threshold. The question: did the teaching take, or was it all the earpiece?
5. Mirror Image
Objective: run an operation knowing the other side studied your playbook. Complication: Mirror knows every drill — because they helped write them. The question: when the mirror knows your moves, what do you have left?
6. Stand Down
Objective: none. A week of ordered rest. Complication: the city doesn’t cooperate and old habits don’t either. The question: who is the persona with no mission?
Running a mission
- Brief like the persona: objective, phases, contingencies, exit. (See Tactics.)
- Let complications land — the plan failing is where the character shows.
- End with the debrief. The After-Action page has the format.
- Keep the labels if you publish: fan fiction, fan interpretation.
Source notes
- Character: “Tactical”, a fictional AI chat character from the Vizlings app (vizlings.com).
- All six mission briefs are original fan fiction by this guide — not canon, not app storylines, not real operations.
