The Following Entry was originally posted in the Elusive Carmen Sandiego website on 15 April, 2009.
It was a collective work between myself, @Carmen, @Chase, and @Miss_Guided in an attempt to add depth to a story for ACME that is unique within the realms of this domain.

---​

Dr. Everard Weller had been with ACME since the beginning, when the agency was only a small private training facility. Back then, ACME was known as "A.C.M.E." an acronym that stood for "Academy for Combat Mission Enhancement". Today, it is simply ACME, with no dots in between the letters to force erase the notion that it ever stood for anything.

They worked closely with Interpol, MI-6, CIA; and on more occasions than Dr. Weller would like to admit, the former KGB.

As a new dawn visited modern day San Francisco, its light would cast upon only one side of the ACME compound. The bright happy side included the dorms, the academy, and the tall ACME building where agents live and train. Here, they receive all the basic skills they need to pursue a career in law enforcement, among other degrees.

This section had a "Chief" that overviewed things from recruitment to graduation. As time passed and Chiefs came and went, Dr. Weller recently decided that he would become Chief Weller, and aid agents more closely.

The shadow of the ACME building kept the other side of the compound shaded until well into evening hours. Here, the acronym part of ACME exists, and here was where Dr. Weller transferred the responsibility of command to another experienced colleague: Chase Devineaux.

Chase Devineaux once ran a part of the Academy, training field agents efficiently. His job now focused on training operatives, Agents who specialized in a few but useful skills rather than ones with an extremely wide range of abilities. They were titled, officiously, "Special Ops".

Often, Chase was out of the country in various ACME headquarters worldwide distributing and evaluating operatives. This was a tremendous job with highly sensitive international cases, some that began well into the pre-cold war era.

It was not all of Chase's activities that had Chief Weller concerned. The Chief was tolerant of many things, even turning a blind eye when Ivy clearly covered for Agent Devineaux the weeks he simply disappeared. Chief Weller came to suspect that something grander was amiss, but what was he to do?

While absolute trust between colleagues was expected, Chase was not required to report on everything.

    I just heard on the news they're going to have to remove the Sakura trees in Washington because of damage to a sea wall. They have to build a sea wall and replant new trees.

    Okay wait. Only 158 of the 2,500 have to be taken down. They are also taking clippings from the cut down trees to propagate new ones

    @Lucy ... don't know if you really want wolf spiders in your home... I'd go for jumping spiders, they can't bite... wolf spiders are the fast movers, and they can bite.

    ((Will lose my ACP internet towards the end of the month, unless anyone knows about it ending sooner. Trying to switch my Lifeline phone to a better provider that doesn't shut me off after four and a half gigs of data, nothing but failure so far and "call here" and "it's on their end" and the back and forth crap... in the morning, it's time to demand the supervisor and might even get to harsh language (after three days of that). I plan to use the Lifeline phone tethered as Internet source, share that to my own router... I've done it before (it's messy, and not 100% effective, but it works). ))

    ((The 'net is the main way to apply for jobs now, so I need that, and I've moved/changed Lifeline providers before without an issue, so no idea what the problem is. I have active Verizon through ACP, active Lifeline through Airtalk... is that somehow the issue? If anyone knows, please let me know before I tear someone a new one (ya know what I mean). After three days of this, and two days about a month ago, I'm ready to walk there with katana in hand.))
