IDEA: As the preeminent G.I. Joe website, the Hisstank.com membership should be experts at what a G.I. Joe operative should do on a mission.
I will present the mission. Hisstank members will make their decision using a Poll and the choice with the most votes determines the next course of action. One wrong move and you might not come back!

Moving smoothly across the wooden floor, the robed figure advances. His steely eyes are locked on you in total, unshakable concentration. He sees every move you make. He seems to feel your heartbeat.
You know you are up against a master. He pauses. His left hand circles in front. His back leg trails to the side. You adjust your stance. You have to be ready...ready for the split second in which... "Ee-iyah!" This is the moment. Your opponent attacks! His lightning-fast kicks snap through the air. You are driven back to the wall. He comes in close. You jump out of the way and counter with a reverse punch. The blow catches him in the chest. He drops to one knee. Now to finish him off with a... "Yame!" The master's voice rings across the floor. "The fight is over." You lower your hands and bow to your opponent. He rises and does the same. It was a good workout. --- Turn to page 2.

Your code name is Sting, and that's what you do best - with your hands, with your feet, and with the traditional Oriental weapons. Snake-Eyes, the silent and deadly G.I. Joe master of martial arts, trained you. Now you hold black-belt rank in three styles of the martial arts. When it comes down to a hand-to-hand fight, you're one of the best.
You fold your gi - the training outfit you wear to workouts - into a neat roll and tie it with the belt. Then, bowing to the master and the other students, you leave the dojo. From the top floor of the old factory building, its 117 steps to the ground floor. And each one of those steps makes its own particular creak. You've been practicing at this dojo for so many years that you know them all by heart. At the bottom, you push open the metal door and walk into the warm New Orleans night. It rained earlier, but the air smells as if it might start up again. You make your way through the back streets of the city, stepping around puddles as you go. You're halfway down Tenard Street when you hear footsteps following you rapidly. You whirl around, thinking you are ready for anything. Nonetheless, you are startled by the sight before you. --- Go on to page 3.

"Hawk!" you say, surprised to see your G.I. Joe commanding officer here in your hometown of New Orleans. "What brings you to these parts?"
"Actually, I'm here to see you," he answers. "I was up in Washington D.C. for meetings. It almost drove me bats. You know me, I like the active jobs, I can't stand all that talking..." His voice trails off, as if he has something else on his mind. "And then this package came for me." He pauses under a streetlight and pulls a handkerchief from his khaki jacket. Unfolding it carefully, he produces a tiny stone carving. It's a piece of dark green jade, beautifully formed into the image of a tiger. "It's from a friend, someone I knew a long time ago," he says. "And it mean's he's in trouble." "What kind of trouble?" you ask. "And how can I help?" Hawk smiles for the first time since you've seen him, but it's only for a second. His grave expression returns. "Come with me," he says, "and I'll tell you the whole story." ---- Turn to page 4.

Yes. I was originally going to do a review of the book and then the idea struck me to do a 'crowd sourced' attempt at a Find Your Fate story.
Just don't want to run afoul of the Mods if this is not ok to do!

Ah. The lyrical second person prose of William Sno.

Something tells me there might be a legal issue if you print the entire thing online. Not too sure but could be fun.
