Boy of 1000 Faces, reporting for duty!

Cobalt Kid checking in!

If you go to The Original LMBP thread (yes, the original back in 2000!) you'll see that I, Cobalt Kid, am the leader of the Espionage Squad! Which is, of course, why I'm Chief of Security for life! How is it, you ask, that someone with magnetism is head of the espionage squad? Bah! For the same reason Wolverine is on the Avengers!

Well I have a feeling I'm on teh Espionage Squad as well but for the life of me I can't think why that would be the case. Possibly it was just so I could supply the squad with the chic-est spy gear in the whole multi-verse. Or possibly just because I volunteered and no-one noticed my slight lack of sneaky-ness or subtlty.

Any espionage squad member who checks in here can't be that good at espionage.

True espionage members check in on the predetermined thread and use their special code word within a seemingly innocuous post.


See if you can spot the espionage member reporting in on this (non-defunct) reporting in thread
Espionage Reporting in Thread

Oh and a high paying job as lead investigator at Quislet's Super Law Office of Space is the prize for the first person to correctly identify the espionage agent

Now, more than ever, we need the LMB Espionage Squad. The strange disappearance of plucky volunteer attorney, Quislet, esq., must be solved.

New members required!

And check in here , a thread so secret only Sketch Lad has posted to it!

Quislet, Esq. has disappeared?

I offer my service in the search for him.

I also offer my services. He's already been missing for 22 hours and 53 minutes!

But Time Teller Lad, how many seconds has he been missing?

Too many! We must find our friend and colleague before many more elapse!

Oh Time Teller Lad,

Quiselt, Esq. was the first Legion Worlder to befriend me and my men. I feel at a lost with him being missing. I really appreciate all your help.

*Helena gives Time Teller Lad a hug.*

That was speedy service. Quislet, esq. is back. And the LMB Espionage Squad fades silently back into the shadows....

Fat Cramer,

I am still tied up and blindfolded in an undisclosed location. I am able to post due to my telepathic internet connection via Titan Communications.

* interested

How much are you paying for that plan, Quis?

Time to re-evaluate, Espionage Squad. Perhaps Quislet does not wish to be rescued. Best to await his telepathic SOS.

Any word on Quislet Esq.? I've been searching for him but found no sign of him.

Have their been any clues? I thought maybe he's hidden in an old thread, possibly one mentioning the ice cream parlol, but I haven't been able to find him.

It's possible one of our sentient threads captured him. In fact, there may be sentient threads here that are pretending to be ordinary, inane threads. Be very afraid.

Fat Cramer,

I do indeed want to be rescued. These ropes are starting to chafe. As I said in the shout box, I can hear a pretzel vendor hawking his wares. Also I can occassionally smell lilac. I hope these clues help.

Hmmm... sounds like Montmartre. I'll get a flight to Paris and start looking around immediately.

You might want to tour the countryside as well. One must be thorough in these matters.

I dunno, all the clues Quis has given us seem to point to a series of adventures the LMB had beginning with "Hot Summer Nights", particularly the references to France and the Parlol.

Does anyone know if Omega Man is currently France again?

I have just returned from an intensive study of the 352 public houses located along the banks of the tynesideest van oglehimer, the longest river on the planet Henpartyest

I can say that Quislet is not there, from what I can remember anyway, although there was that moment with the broccoli and the flying helmet when i thought maybe....but it wasn’t him.

Now who do i see about claiming these expenses back as some of those pubs charge more than a few erlocks per drink and i had to, well shall we say lubricate, a few tonsils to get them to talk.

I remember Cobie once saying "Drinks are on me!" I don't think the offer was ever revoked.

That was usually after one of his Girlfriends had tipped a full pint over him because he had been caught canoodiling with another

Faraway,

Do you want Cobie to pay for all those drinks or don't you?

I stuck it in that pile of paperwork on his desk. He sign it when he gets in, probably without reading it, if I time it right and hes got a hangover.

Yeah, as if that requires special timing!

Did I hear someone say "Timing"?


We've wasted too much time! We must find our friend!

Doesn't it kind of defeat the purpose of the Espionage Squad if we all check in and reveal ourselves?

Was thinkin' the same thing as Ibby.

Well, we gone done and killed this thread!

Or killed the Espionage Squad, anyway.
