The Philippine based Eksena Manila is a young developing community of 87 (and counting) agents to date in the process of establishing their name and reputation to match the global Improv standards.
Just recently, the team completed their first official mission. So here are your Manila agents, reporting.
Mission Report
Team: Eksena Manila
Number of Agents: 14
Mission Date: April 19, 2008
Mission Name: An Angel Passed By
Planning: Agent Pjax
Agents: Bleue, Denise, Doodle, K, LA, Nightowl, Orange, Rob X, Pandabear, Pao, Phinee, RS, Starkee and TJ
The Mission
On its very first organized mission entitled “An Angel Passed By” (May Dumaan na Anghel), Eksena Manila filled up an establishment with talkative agents and designated another agent as an “angel”. The mission is to build up a considerable amount of noise, and when the angel stands, all talkative agents go silent, and when the angel gets back to his/her seat, the talkative agents will bring back the noise. The mission is inspired by Agent Dan of UK Agents.
The Act
Time stamp was 09-APR-2008 1415H (Manila Time) when the agents started to arrive at the meeting place – Forum Robinsons Mall (Formerly Robinson’s Place Pioneer) for this mission. The headcount was fourteen.
After some orientation and getting-to-know-you stuff, the team scouted for a venue to execute the mission, and the only qualified location was the KFC Ground floor. The catch was – the group’s meeting place was on the benches just outside this fast-food.
Eksena Manila Team met outside the KFC where they end up staging their mission.
The team relocated to the third floor for the briefing. After half an hour of preparation and planning, a script has finally been made and all systems go.
Mission Briefing
Videographer agent TJ went first to the scene to setup the camera, which later on followed by our angel agent PJ. The talkative agents were divided into five groups, each group entered the scene in five minute intervals. Agents Pao and Phinee first; followed by Agents Bleue, Rob X, L.A and RS; then the group of Agents Denise, Nightowl and Orange; the duo of Agents Starkee and Doodle; and lastly lone Agent K. Agent Pandabear was the last undercover to enter the scene who joined agent Pao’s group.
The noise started to build up as the agents entered the scene. At first, it was barely noticeable due to the influx of other customers, but the agents were decided to pollute the room with their noise. When the angel hinted the first clue and all agents muted, some customers noticed the abrupt silence but most just ignored.
Come the second hint and we noticed some turning heads and curious looks. A family seated in between the groups of agents were in wonder when the room suddenly came to stillness.
The third cue was the turning point as most patrons noticed the build up of noise. Some inquisitive customers even tried to investigate. Two old ladies seated behind agents Rob and RS jolted when the agents’ voices filled the store after a moment of silence.
The agents made the room noisier before the fourth cue, some customers in line even made a 180 degree head turn when agents Bleue and Rob greeted agent Denise’s group seated on the other side of the store. Come the fourth cue, the agents muted once more, and most customers showed confused faces, more turning heads and rolling eyes.
The angel then stood up for the final cue, and made his exit. The agents were quiet, and gradually the room went back to its normal atmosphere. One by one, the agents departed, leaving the perplexed customers in puzzle.
Eksena Manila still has a very long way to go, but for now, it’s “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!”
