3. Mission
Perspective Agents:
Recently aliens began controlling all teachers and principals in every city and town in
the United States. They have changed the school day to be 12 hours and have
eliminated weekends. We are now attending school 7 days a week. This is not right!
They must be stopped. We have sent letters out all over the United States asking for
kids like you to help us break into their hideouts and recover the microchips
controlling the teachers and principals. The hideouts are located all over the US and
every microchip needs to be recovered in order to give the teachers and principals full
control again and to send the aliens back to their home planets. We are asking you to
help us. If you choose to help us please hit the next button to gain further
instructions. If you chose not to help us, we hope you enjoy all the extra homework
and class time you will now have.
Sincerely,
Agent Gamesalot
