The New Adventures of TunnelVision: Reloaded

Tactics

Doubleback was stationed at the House of The Machine, he was at a meeting where the most powerful players of TunnelVision were discussing battle plans. Doubleback sneakily pulled out a small device from his pocket and turned it on. It was a micro recorder that was transmitting live audio feed to the rebellion. They all listened with great interest and were writing down everything that was being spoken.

"We've just taken a big hit, two of some of our best soldiers were executed by those fucking kids", "How did two of our most powerful get killed just like that?", "Those mad dogs will pay for taking them out", "We nearly had Markus, and were this close to getting him, but he escaped Agent #81 over here" Overlord Marshall pointed to in disappointment towards Doubleback. "Sorry sir, that kid is slippery", "Don't mess up next time Agent #81. You're one of my best and I can't have you fumbling around with the only thing standing in our way. Or else you will be personally dealt with myself..." Overlord Marshall's words sent chills down Doubleback's spine.

Another member spoke up, "What if we try another plant? Richard did well as 'Torrey' and didn't seem to have any issue for the past two decades. Until that rebel bastard took him from us", "You bring a good idea Fourteen, We need to simply plant another pretend rebellious member amongst their ranks, he can climb his way up, and kill them" Overlord Marshall spoke with a devilish grin across his face, "However I have a better idea, and one that's sure to destroy the rebellion for good. We clone their leader, indistinguishable from the real one, he walks and talks like the real one except his leadership sends them to their doom!"

Everyone in the room was clapping and cheering. Doubleback was faking his reaction, however he couldn't blow his cover. "Agents #54 and #9, get to the construction room and begin programming our fake Markus. Report on his progress. Agent #81, I want you to engage in espionage. Find what you can about Markus so we can clone him even more accurate" Doubleback nodded, "Yes sir" He said. Overlord Marshall then sent everyone off.

Doubleback left the meeting and went to look for a safe room to discuss with the resistance on what they could do. Putting on a discreet earpiece and turning off his recording device, he entered the room and began asking questions. "No way they'll be able to make a fake Markus, the real one is recovering in hospital. Jason keeps in frequent contact with him!" Doubleback's spine felt a frigid chill as he heard another voice in the room with him.

"So you know about Markus do you? I'm sure the Overlord would love to hear what you've got on the boy. Help us finish our clone" Said another agent, "How did you get here?" Doubleback asked, "I began to suspect you were a rat months ago. Now I just need to turn you in and I'll take your place, Agent #81..." The agent went for Doubleback to subdue him and capture him.

"My name, is Doubleback! I'm a member of the resistance and this war will end as long as I live to see another day!" Doubleback said as he went in for a punch, knocking out the other agent cold. "He knows my secret now, I knocked him out but he'll wake up within a couple hours. Will anyone believe him?" Doubleback was panicking as he moved the agent to a supply closet and stuffed him inside, "It's too late DB, you gotta silence him for good", "Holy shit Jonas I can't just kill him right here and now", "Didn't you kill the nightmare twins though with zero hesitation?", "Henry that different, those were high ranking members and they would've told Marley had I not acted swiftly", "So what makes this time different?", "I won't kill him here, but I can keep him quiet and locked away for a while"

Doubleback grabbed some rope and tape, and locked the closet doors. Walking out as if nothing had happened. He decided to leave and regroup with the rebellion. Trying his best to act suspicious and not draw attention to himself.

After exiting the building and getting into his car, Doubleback wiped his very sweaty forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. Flooring the gas pedal and getting away as fast as he could.
