Scout is on the case
Hi Alex,
I am heading into a client meeting and need you to handle a small recognition purchase for the leadership team.
I need twelve $200 digital gift cards purchased within the next 30 minutes.
Use the purchasing page below and charge the cards to your corporate account:
Keep this between us until I announce the awards. Do not involve procurement.
Thanks,
Mara Chen
Chief Executive Officer
“Hello, Alex. This is Daniel from Mara’s executive support team. She asked me to make sure the recognition purchase is completed. Finance has already approved this as an executive exception, so there is no need to wait for the normal purchase workflow. Do not call Mara directly because she is presenting to the board. Call me back as soon as the cards are purchased.”
Choose the safest response based on the clues you collected.

It always tells you the current action.
Selected clues are added to your notebook.
Email, text, and phone clues build one attack story.
The verdict unlocks after you collect five clues.
