Part 37: Ep. 27: Our Priorities Are In Order
---
: Last time on MySims Agents: That seamy underbelly of the city: the industrial district. A gritty wasteland of broken dreams, weird smells, and labs run by mysterious people with single letters for last names. A single hazy memory dredged from the mind of a yeti sends Special Agent Sam on a hopeless quest...

... but not yet.
Before we go anywhere gritty, we have more junior agents to recruit! Our, er, stellar performance at the lodge has paid off. Let's look at who all we've attracted.
First of all, to no one's surprise, Agents Marshall and Vector have transferred to Sam's division.
: Welcome to the team!
: Welcome to the team!
Professor Nova was so impressed by our helping Paul that she also decided to pitch in.
: Welcome to the team!
... Beebee? Well, okay, maybe Beebee thinks we were responsible for saving Preston from that horrible yeti. Or something.
: Welcome to the team!
Sam's round of applause for her joining could be called 'sarcastic'.
...
Preston?
It's a condition of your probation?! Oh, man, I am going to work you like a charismatic mule!
: Welcome to the team!
Sam puts his hands on his hips and shakes his head in wry amusement.
And, finally... WOLFAH who's a good doggie you're a good doggie come on boy here boy
: Welcome to the team!
The Agent Wolfah FAQ:
Q. Is Wolfah really a real agent with duties and everything?
A. Yes.
Q. Will he send us text messages while on missions?
A. Yes.
Q. Really?!
A. Yes.
Q. ... how?
A. Yes.
Here's how Sam's got the teams set up right now, on the appropriate floors. (Wolfah can pinch-hit between Leaf's Nature team and Roger's Sports team.) They're all running around inside the building right now; Sam can go talk to them if he wants to, and they'll usually have something pithy to say about the current case, or the last one, or their own pathetic lives.
... you guys, I don't think that Preston and Beebee have a very healthy relationship.
But then again I don't think Preston is capable of having a healthy relationship with anyone who isn't actually made of money.

Sam
Sam you are worrying me
WOW OKAY ENOUGH OF THAT--because we finally have more than three agents, it's VOTING TIME at laaaast holy crap I did not think it would take this long to get here
This is our mission, should we choose to accept it (spoilers: we will):
: ... cars?
Renee's pigs require agents strong in Nature and Charisma to herd them through traffic! Who should we send to help?
Vote for any three (3) agents from the following list to send on this dispatch mission: Travis, Leaf, Roger, Rosalyn, Vic, Nova, Beebee, Preston, Wolfah.
You can see their stats in the second post in this thread, just underneath the OP.
Remember: there are no consequences for failing a dispatch mission. Vote for whoever the heck you want to send! If they fail, Sam will just send a different team to try! No pigs will be irreparably harmed by our incompetence, probably!
During this mission, Sam will be called upon to occasionally make choices for his hapless juniors. Here's how that's going to work:
- If the voting skews heavily towards a good team for the job, I will try to pick the best choice each time. And sometimes fail, because it is not always obvious what is 'good'.
- If the voting skews heavily towards a bad team for the job, I will try to pick the worst choice each time.
- If the vote is close or otherwise creates a random team, I will flip a coin each time.
You've got approximately twenty-four hours to make your pick!
