Agents of The Bureau

Case No.4 (Part One)

Case File: Navigation Through an Uncharted Jungle, (aka) Training.

Location: Uncharted Jungle

Agents on Case: Mikennah Black, Amanda Matthews

Status: MAJOR COMPLICATIONS

Day 1: Mikennah

Alright, so. This is like 100% totally cool.. However it's training. TRAINING. You've almost killed me three different times! A bomb, a cruise.. Full of assassins, and a slave trade. Seriously man, and you put the bomber on our team. Honestly about that, thank god Amanda wasn't there, I don't know how she reacts to different things, she reminds me of Spock. It's hard to read her..

Anyways, we are in some uncharted Jungle with only these two diaries. It's kinda hard to map, so I'm just gonna look around and see if anything exciting happens.

Day 1: Amanda

She is either some easily excited puppy, some annoyed (?), or a female living embodiment of Captain Kirk. Does that make me McCoy for complaining, or Spock for thinking she can be so very silly?

Still, she is a pretty good partner. She's saved my life enough times. I shouldn't be complaining about her attitude. It doesn't crop up all that often. Much.

Right, on a training assignment, I have to focus.

Although... a training assignment after we've been put on active duty and been in the field on dangerous missions three times already?

But it's not my place to question The Bureau!

Ahem.

I better go check on Mikennah, make sure we're on the same page for once.

Day 2: Amanda

Ugh. I am never letting Mikennah cook something she catches on this assignment again. Who thinks charred squirrel makes a good dinner?

I'm cooking tonight. And it won't be something furry. I still feel like I'm going to be sick.

Also never letting Isaac text me during a briefing again. He distracted me and I didn't know what to pack, so I didn't bring any actual food.

Hopefully my stomach will survive any of Mikennah's further attempts.

Day 2: Mikennah

Alright, so I found some DELICIOUS squirrel, and normally I'd never kill anything that looks as cute as a squirrel. But as Miss Perfect, decided against showing up at the briefing, because it's "just a training" she didn't pack her own food. At least I didn't kill some frogs, that would be the best prank ever!

She's honestly the hardest to work with, she'd be starving without me. And I skinned the poor thing. The only problem now, is water....

Wish us luck Bureau.

Day 4: Amanda

We're barely beyond the halfway point of the first week and I am already of the opinion that it's been a long week.

As relevant as canvasing terrain is and as important of a skill as it is, a training exercise containing two weeks of almost purely only canvasing terrain? And a small amount of testing our survival skills? It is incredibly boring. For a jungle, especially one as dangerous as this one is supposed to be according to what Mikennah told me of the briefing, it's been extremely quiet. We haven't come across any of the more dangerous predators and only the squirrels and nonpoisonous (I hope) frogs that Mikennah has been cooking for meals.

There were supposed to be at least one group of poachers that we were supposed to look out for, but we have already grid checked the majority of the forest once, and unless they're hiding out in the five square acres on the far edge we have left to check, I don't think they're here. And it wouldn't make sense to have a camp on the edge where patrols would be more likely to find them. Given its relatively small size in comparison to some of the ones I've read about in South America, they'd be best off in the center, and more likely to come across whatever they're poaching.

I had better make sure Mikennah's checking that the water source she found is clean before she just dives into it or starts drinking it.

Day 5: Mikennah

So.. I don't write in this as much as a probably should... Amanda's probably writing in her every hour to make sure she doesn't leave a single detail out of her apparent report for The Bureau. Nothing really exciting has happened, I had to continuously kill dinner because Amanda is such a wimp.

I did do that frog prank though, and OMG it was hilarious she said it tasted like chicken. The look on her face when I told her it was frog. GLORIOUS. She couldn't tell it was a frog once I stabbed it and stuck it on a stick. Campfires are amazingly easy to make, which is something I never actually learned to do..

Camping isn't a specialty of mine.

I did however find some clean water.. I'm not sure how long the Bureau is keeping us here.. I think it's for at least 2 weeks... That's something they never said in the Briefing.. Which worries me, what if something happens? Eh, nothing's going to happen.

Oh! I think I see tomorrow's dinner. Hopefully I'll find something like that tomorrow.

Day 6: Mikennah

Well.. uh, something like the thing I saw yesterday showed up again... . and killing it was harder than.. Well.. than I thought...

And, well and Amanda wanted to take the lead.. .. so I let her.. And I was tailing like.. Well like a half decent.. Half decent person!

B..but something was tailing me

And and and.. Wait did I write that once or three times..

I don't feel so good.. Ugh.. Maybe that bite was worse than I thought, maybe walking and writing isn't such a good idea.. Can't let Amanda find out.

We'd fail training.. Haha.

God my leg hurts like hell.

Damn that snake...

Vision.. Fading.. Ugh..

"H..Hey Amanda.. S-somethings w...wrong"

Day 6: Amanda

There is good news and there is bad news.

Good news? We've survived almost the entire first week. Two more days and we'll officially be halfway through the assignment.

Bad news? I don't think Mikennah's going to make it that long.

Everything was going so well! We were surviving, we were doing well, the food was even bearable once Mikennah stopped telling me just what we were eating (though given the rest of the week's meals, I can guess well enough). But no, she just had to go and get herself bitten by a snake, and an incredibly venomous one at that by the looks of her symptoms. She has been sick, weak and feverish, and mentioned stomach pains.

If only she'd told me sooner! I know I'm not the best of partners, but I could have done more, could have been of more help.

Which The Bureau won't be.

I used the emergency radio transmitter she brought along and managed to get ahold of the Bureau pilot that dropped us out here. But even when told of what was going on, he said that his orders were to leave us be, that we were on our own.

Day 7: Amanda

She's gotten worse.
