## Description

Barb Larvernor is the head of the American Secret Service (A.S.S.) Technology Lab. She, along with the Informant, it one of the two characters who went rouge with Agent Mega following the incident in Geneva.

## Personality

Barb is very nerdy, charismatic, and passionate character, often prone to infodumping and getting off track when unchecked. She is likely the smartest character in Spies Are Forever (possibly only being matched by Owen Carvour), and spends a lot of her free time on developing new advancements in espionage and spying. As is typical with the nerd architype, Barb tends to miss social queues with others often, especially Curt, often misinterpreting normal conversations for flirting.

Barb is shown to be one of the only characters we see in the A.S.S. who has no combat training, presumably lacking in the field, as she stays in remote locations when helping on missions.

## Biography

### Before the Musical

Not much is known about Barb before the start of Spies Are Forever, as she is not a main character. She likely had been working with Curt for years, as she seems quite used to his penitent for danger.

### Act 1-

#### Russian Weapons Facility (a Few Miles Away) - 1957

Barb, assigned to work remotely as technology correspondent on a standard mission, had been monitoring Agent Mega's mission via tracker, only for him to turn it off sometime during the mission, a seemingly common occurrence. Due to this infraction, she attempts repeatedly to contact Curt, only reaching him part of the way through the mission, once he had met up with Owen.

After finally reaching him, Barb is able to relay the plan, asking him simply to photograph the document from the mission with his watch. Bored with the plan, and not wearing the rocket shoes he had been told to wear, Curt decides to blow up the facility despite having no real reason to. Barb reluctantly lets him and Owen go through with the plan.

Due to the risks taken during this plan, this explosion would go terribly wrong, ending in the presumed death of Owen, and Agent Mega dropping out of the espionage field for the next 4 years.

Over the time he is gone, Barb begins the development of a large scale system for collecting and archiving state secrets that would later become standard in the agency, possibly being made in the aftermath of Owen's death, as the incident was caused by human error.

#### A.S.S. Headquarters, Technology Lab- 1961

Agent Mega, now back working for A.S.S., and already with a failure on his hands, visits Barb in the technology lab for a mission to the Richman's Casino.

While trying to catch up with him, Mega is generally destructive and distractable, destroying multiple projects from other scientist in the process. Barb presents Mega with various new gadgets for him to use, but he is continuously distracted, frustrating her. In the process, Barb is able to shave off Curt's beard and pack him various gadgets, along with clothes and food for the trip.

As Curt leaves the lab, Barb laments about her unrequited love for Curt, but brushes it off as unprofessional, and hypes herself up to go on the mission along side him.

#### Monte Carlo, Monaco - the Following Evening

During the entire trip, due to budget restrictions, she is forced to stay at a hotel abord a fishing boats while she stands by to remotely help Curt. At some point while working remotely, Barb would receive a call from Cynthia informing her that Agent Mega is unauthorized to continue the mission any further, and informing her to relay this information to Agent Mega.

When the mission goes wrong, and the Curt is shot by The Deadliest Man Alive, Barb rushes in to the casino's hotel to give him quick medical attention in the elevator and informs him he is no longer allowed to continue the mission. Mega, realizing it's a life or death situation, ignores this order. Barb tells him that either way, she has his back, which he brushes off.

#### New Democratic Republics of Old Socialist Prussian Slaviscia - Three days later

Barb, having presumably been called in by Agent Mega, and going against the wishes of the American Government, makes her way into a Prussian Slavacian bar to meet up with the rest of the team. The Informant, noting how they're all now enemy's of the American Government, is at a loss for what to do, so the task of planning is left up to Barb. Having only brought very limited supplies, notes they will have to be very careful

As they are at a bar, they team call for a toast and all get drunk. Despite having drank the least alcohol of the group, she is notably the most drunk, flirting with Curt and almost making out with the Informant, though being interrupted when he vomits. The night ends with all of them passing out in the bar.

During the mission, Barb stays remotely somewhere in the New Democratic Republics of Old Socialist Prussian Slaviscia while Agent Mega, Tatiana, and the Informant all stake out in a War Room meeting between the Deadliest Man, Baron von Nazi and the Prussian Slaviscian government.

After the whole ordeal leaves Curt chasing after Owen, Tatiana gets on call with Barb, instructing her to look for an island in the Pacific the size of a compound with hundreds of computing systems. Barb, having already been researching the topic for her own project, is quick to find one, only to find the facility they are looking for. Tatiana, still in procession of the rocket shoe and Hydrogen Bomb, makes her way to the facility and blows it up after some help from Barb activating it. During the call, Barb has to simultaneously help Mrs. Mega with her refrigerator as she talks on call with both of them at once.

### Epilogue -

After leaving the office for the last time, Mega meets up with Barb, who tells him her technology division and the data analysis division have merged and that she wasn't fired. Curt remarks that he will still be asking for her assistance on the inside, even if he's left the agency, and she excitedly agrees to do so.
