We picked up Agent, Hand, Garrett, Tripp, and a few others before we take off and start our meeting. May walks over, "Causing altitude reached, bearing 90 degrees just over the North Pole" She says
"Thank you" Coulson says
"Apologies for the song and dance. We brought you here as a precaution" Garrett says
"A precaution against what?" Sitwell asks
"The Clairvoyant. If there is someone out there who can read minds, at least up here we're as far away from him as possible" Coulson says
"Think that maybe the northern lights will knock a few bars off his psychic Wi-Fi" Garrett says
"Coulson, you know SHIELD's stance on psychics. They don't exist" Blake says
"Are you suddenly a believer?" Hand asks
"Not definitively. But I had a recent experience with an Asgardian who could bend people's will with her voice. Forced me to open my mind, so to speak" Coulson says
"All we know for sure is The Clairvoyant's been a step ahead of us, stealing plays from out playbook" Garrett says
"And it's pissing me off. I take it you've all read Agent Garrett's latest report?" Coulson says
"The hit on the safe house. Mr. Peterson's alive and kicking" Sitwell says
"We call him Deathlok" May says
"That was the project's codename" Ward says
"Agent Garrett and I have been tracking him the last few weeks" Triplett says
"And we think The Clairvoyant's super soldier bodyguard came after us for a reason. We're getting close" Garrett says
"To what? His identity?" Hand asks
"We've narrowed the list to 13 candidates" Garrett says
"Narrowed it how? From what?" Blake asks
"Agent Garrett has been taking a second look at SHIELD's gifted index. Specifically the rejects" Coulson says
"Individuals SHIELD interviewed who are believed to have psychic abilities, but were ultimately dismissed" Garrett says
"So you think we've encountered The Clairvoyant before?" Sitwell asks
"Think how many cases we've encountered across the globe, how many cases we've vetted, it's more than possible, it's probable" Coulson says
"I need more coffee" Blake says
"Let's assume what you're saying is possible, what then? If we're going up against a natural clairvoyant, how do you suggest we combat that?" Hand asks
"By compartmentalizing the information" Garrett says
"A member of my team is an expert at pattern recognition and analysis. Finding needles in haystacks. She'll prioritize the candidates on Garrett's list, locate them, then pair us off into random teams" Coulson says
"That way only one person knows the full scope of the mission" Garrett says
"You do understand that this person you're referring to, she'd need to be a SHIELD agent o be granted that level of access" Hand says
"I'm glad you brought that up" Coulson says
I head downstairs to find Skye, "Skye. Upstairs. Top brass wants to see you" I tell her
She follows me upstairs before we explain the plan, "Pairing off makes total sense. Just one thought though. What if we make it a double blind?" Skye suggests
