The options below give you the power to shake up the star counts, in either miniscule or MAJOR ways.

The turn order for each round will be selected by the player with the LEAST amount of stars. They can either choose to go FIRST or LAST for the round.

## Speare's Sonnets

*The final 4 agents sprint through the underwater cave within the cenote, when suddenly they begin to hear the voices of Handlers Doony and Cuka! Doony and Cuka are discussing their evil plans, and how it was them who have been setting up every roadblock for agents so far in order to snatch the magical gem of the cenote for themselves, how dastardly! Luckily their cruel conversation is cut short, as Embezzlement , Athena , Vibes & Nineties run forward!*

*It’s revealed that in this finale, the agents must battle with each other AND the handlers, who are trying to stop the agents by any means necessary! In this 3 part finale where, only 3 of these 6 competitors will make it out!*

*In a challenge that uses the stars agents have collected all season, while also testing social bonds, it’s Athena that comes out of the first checkpoint in, well, first! And unfortunately for that crazy cuka, Athena and Embezzlement work together to make sure she comes in DEAD LAST and is eliminated from the finale altogether!*

*Next, the agents and Doony’s memories of their operation are tested! Embezzlement blows through the challenge and finishes in first- he even has time to try to trip up his fellow agents with some fake info along the way! Despite his best effort of sabotage, it is still Handler Doony who finishes this part in DEAD LAST, which means... Our agents defeated the wicked handlers!! Woo yeah they’re the best of all time!!!*

*But one of them still has to lose... Shucks! The final part of their challenge is a puzzle battle royale extravaganza, and our agents all rush through them, putting in a truly valiant effort! Honestly, if it was up to me, they’d all be winners!! But alas, someone must lose... The first to finish the finale and an official winner...*

*EMBEZZLEMENT!*

*Not far behind him...*

*NINETIES!*

*With the last spot up for grabs, it’s truly any agent’s game, no one can tell who’s about to escape the cenote and jump on the copter, it’s.. IT’S....*

*ATHENA!*

*And with that, our three winners are decided, and they head back home with a magical gem in tact, the evil handlers defeated, and an operation SUCCESSFUL!!*

*Unfortunately, this does mean Agent Vibez is a loser... That’s so sad, I was rooting for them... Well, it probably wouldn’t hurt to give ‘em a bit of encouragement! I’ll just go tell them that they can do another operation, there we go, problem solved right as rain, with no one feeling like a loser at all!!! Woohoo!!!*

*Oh, and one last thing.. Thank you all for reading! Can’t wait to do this again next operation!!*
