Archived Blue Moon Masquerade
Seeing both Sarah and Patty properly ready, VILE's leader felt more secure. "Be careful," she advised without instructing, "I'm sure you've seen the back? Remember, once you reset the sensors, move on to objective two. There is a sixty-second timer before all units function. We're using the... -

Morgan Kent's strategy depended on knowing how much time to spend, and with whom. Near the hour of the museum's closing, she meandered through faces and light conversations, informing many of them in minor ways that she would be joining William Blake for the countdown. More importantly, she... -
Archived Blue Moon Masquerade
This short gathering was a necessity only to confirm attendance. All members of her team understood what to do hours before the party began. The target, however, was a variable. No picture or depiction of this 'Mask of Helen' ever made it to the media until after the gallery opened, and... -

Patty's accented American English received a proud expression from Carmen, whose mind still fluttered about the Grecian funerary mask. Coincidentally, as she let herself consider the topic, Dragon's sardonic voice recited a greeting with a modified line from an Emily Dickinson poem. At the... -

Once her eyes fell upon the coveted 'Mask of Helen', Carmen was transfixed. Its blank, placid gaze beckoned with a characteristic appeal unrivalled among the work of so many great talents. She had researched the mask of Agamemnon extensively in the past, and among the tendrils of information... -

Slowly handing the watch to Sarah, Carmen paused just before letting it go. A critical thought appeared... this was Chase Devineaux, ACME's Director of Special Operations, he would recognise a woman dressed as a man and then identify Sarah without much trouble. Not that she enjoyed giving the... -

"Thank you for coming," she said as she rolled the watch she had stolen from Chase in her left hand, "I know you were looking forward to another round of that Celtic punk this year... but if I may make it up to you when the Stones go on tour next year?" Lifting the object to the light of a... -

If 'William Blake' had not stopped, Carmen may have overlooked the shorter man with a peculiar temperament. He referred to her by 'name' while failing to give his own, and then made an impossible request. Pertaining to her role as the elegant Morgan Kent, she had little choice but to ignore... -

Walking with Giulio Sarno into the crowd, Carmen became aware of a small incident involving a 'Phantom of the Opera' and a garcon. In a party of hundreds, such things rarely affect the mood. As she scanned the floor, she saw Patty's blond confidence off to mischief, leading two newer VILE... -

Lights glazed the basilica in stark bluish white, giving the men standing in front of it an aura of righteousness. They seemed almost impossible to touch, but for a certain pseudonymous guest, one above all others appeared particularly vindictive. As his hand extended to hers, Carmen took it... -

Carmen Sandiego, still as Morgan Kent, allowed herself some time to adjust to the weight of her dress. Walking back and forth in a swinging gait before a large mirror, she judged how well her wardrobe had been fastened, and how her steps would look to the casual observer. Finding a natural... -

Hyatt Regency London - The Churchill Carmen, under the alias of Morgan Kent, was spending a few nights in London after a planned trip near Minsk, Belarus ended with satisfaction. An Italian tour group, presumably of dignitaries, resided at the same hotel. From them, Carmen had been hearing... -

Delighted to meet you
On my last passage through Aix-en-Provence, I briefly 'visited' Paul Cézanne at Saint-Pierre. Some disagree, but I've always thought the unique perspectives he plotted of the paysages provençaux were among his most moving works. After Camille Pissaro's influence, of course and before the height...- Carmen
