Subject: Urbantics Threat Assessment Report

Our counterintelligence agents have attained this Threat Assessment Report from a rival agency:

“Urbantics was founded in 2021 by Sam Newton. While our details on Newton are sketchy, it appears as if he has had a past career in software development and a lifelong fascination with word and logic puzzles.

Initial attempts to set up the Urbantics agency in the mid-2000s were thwarted by underdeveloped technology. The plan was to use GPS units stored in briefcases to track squads during their missions, but this was untenable.

The advent and proliferation of smartphones meant that Urbantics could become a reality. In 2001, amid Covid, Urbantics developed the agent training program that is now known as their Spy Skills Mission.

Urbantics partner with Caught to provide their agents with the necessary tools to complete their missions. This turns a regular mobile phone into the Swiss Army Knife of secret agent communication devices.

A key difference between Urbantics and other similar urban activities is that one of the Urbantics Mission Controllers will always monitor agents as they complete their missions. This makes an Urbantics mission more challenging than if agents were left to their own devices.

Urbantics became involved in Paranormal Activities in 2023. Other activities have been detected, running custom missions for various organisations.”
