The daily life of a Catropolis spy

Day 1:

I'm so excited, our scientists just discovered methods for carrying out espionage on other cities. I was the first of the citizens to volunteer for duty and our emperor the wise and noble Catman picked me of all of the additional citizens that eventually applied. Today I get to report to our scientist so I can read the espionage manual that they have put together and then I get to show off for the emperor.

Day 3:

I spent a day getting "my office" built, apparently I now have to live in a run down part of the town and be segregated from the rest of the population. The "training" from the scientist took a whooping 17 minutes to complete, luckily our wise and noble emperor didn't know this and I have some time to prepare on my own.

Day 5:

The other citizens have started ignoring me, which is the point I guess. I am supposed to blend in with my surroundings, but I didn't know I would feel so alone and isolated. Until I prove my worthiness to the emperor I doubt he will allow me to expand my office and recruit more "Spies". That's what the scientists started calling me after I was trained.

Day 7:

I met with the emperor today and I impressed him with my knowledge and proved to him how well I could blend in with the population and obtain critical information for him, however, he decided I needed to change my attire. I don't know how I'm supposed to blend in with a crowd when I am wearing a cape. Anyways I got funding for an expansion of my office and a single recruit. My friend Paul would be a good recruit.

Day 9:

We have expanded out facilities and I have trained my friend Paul in espionage. He does really well the only part we're both having trouble with is the damn cape, we keep tripping on it and the citizens keep noticing it sticking out of our hiding places. I talked with the emperor about it and all he did was correct me that it is a hooded cloak and instructed me that it is a complete necessity to carry out our missions. He also gave our department it's first mission. Infiltrate a neighboring town as a trial run. Unfortunately, he picked a level 2 town with only 60 people in it, how in the hell can I get into that without being spotted ?!?!? Paul's not going to be happy.

Day 15:

15 .... 15 .... 15

How can I live with myself? I realized today that this is my fifteenth day in operation and I just lost contact with my fifteenth recruit. What in the hell is our emperor thinking, we can not blend in with these level 2 and 3 towns and his desire to have reports instantly is insane. Of course that last guy was a moron, spying on the garrison then yelling at the messenger on the outgoing boat that they had 10 slingers and 5 swordsman was just stupid, but we did get the information. I can not send another one of these poor souls to their death. I must make a stand. Our leader can not be this inept, he must listen to reason or I will refuse to carry out my orders even if it means death..
