News Flash: Covert Agenda Uncovered!


According to unnamed sources, Sean has resurrected his Covert Ops (CO) project.   The program, in the planning stages since March 2011, is an “old-school espionage role playing game, Covert Ops, which is inspired largely by Top Secret.”  More specific details can be found here.
