Quietly nursing your dihydrogenmonoxide burn, you make your way over to the Arctic VPN™ arena again. Just before you reach the entrance, a troop of Jamaican bobsledders cut off your path. When the snow cloud finally settles down, you find dAnkan standing in the doorway engrossed in a phone call.
“No-no-no, you give me YOUR address and I’ll call you BACK. I’ll call you back with some more info! Just give me the address you want me to call. I. WILL. CALLBACK!” dAnkan angrily hangs up and looks up at you. “You know, I really thought you were sportier than this. Anywho, today we will fill the roles of secret agents.”
“Can I ask why?” you inquire while dAnkan leads you into the gift shop.
“I’ve had my ear to the ground for a while now and heard rumours of cheating going on. So we have to put on some disguises and sniff out the scandals. Do you want the spider or pirate costume?” dAnkan reaches into a clothing rack and pulls out a pair of disguises.
“What are we going to be? The web hook agents? How are those costumes useful for an agent?”
“You’re a user agent! Come on Hook, put this on so we can start spying around.”
After you and dAnkan are properly dressed, you begin to walk around the arena.
“Excuse me, you wouldn’t happen to be a cheater?” you ask a contestant.
“No no no, you are doing it all wrong!” dAnkan says while dragging you away by your ear. “You can’t just ask them for information, you need them to ask you for information. Observe.” dAnkan then waddles up to the contestant again. “Hello, I am agent Web.”
“Cześć! My name is Krzysztof Dishoneski, do you know where the tokens for cheating are?” asks the seemingly Polish contestant unprompted.
dAnkan waddles back to you. “See! Now I’ve got him in my Web, and you come in with the Hook! If you now try to look like someone this Dishoneski trusts then we should find some proof of cheating!”
You look around for a moment before finding the solution. On the wall next to you you find a wreath made of candy cane that you put on your head, clearly proving your Polish, user agent origin.
“Hello fellow team mate,” you say, approaching the Polish competitor yet again.
“Ah, there you are! Please, I need a VIP frame, but I forgot my login token to this website. Please help me authenticate as admin.”
“Zoo-wie, this is a doozy. Even the Web Hook agents will need to put some work in to get into this site,” grumbles dAnkan while looking over the website. “Just remember who we are, and what we’ve learned earlier. It might be time for a callback.”
