Agents of H.A.R.E. Chapter 1 -- Mission Impossible


Mother Nature is usually a calm and placid immortal being, emitting gentle rays of green, blue and indigo light, so loving and peaceful. But the morning Mother Nature phoned the headquarters of High Arctic Reconnaissance & Espionage (H.A.R.E.), she was a blazing firenado of crimson, orange and yellow flames, shooting out showers of dangerous sparks and an occasional lightning bolt!

“Send over your very best field operative right NOW!” she demanded.

And that’s how I came to be in her office that fateful morning. 

Oh, let me introduce myself -- Commander Tundra Bunny, Agent of H.A.R.E. We’re a secret, covert organization based North of 60, sworn to protect the ecosystems of the High Arctic. Because of our special skills and extraordinary capabilities, however, Mother Nature often relies on us to handle sensitive missions wherever needed in the world.

“Someone has murdered my Chief Wizard Gandalf and stolen my Karmic Crystal of Justice!” Mother Nature raged. “I need you to get it back for me! Assemble a team and find it STAT!

“Yes, Ma’am.”

Now’s the time to cue the Mission Impossible theme music running through all of your heads . . . .

Uh, oh! I hope H.A.R.E. doesn't take revenge on Cleveland for being the HQ of BP during that arctic pipeline fiasco! (I told people at the time that it would end the way it did, the pipeline an ecological disaster, and BP vamoosing from Cleveland the second its contractual obligations were over.)
