SECRET
MISSION
Mission Briefing
Classification: TOP SECRET
Target: Danielle Robertson
Operation Code Name: D-Day (aka Danielle-Day > Surprise 60th Birthday)
Deployment Date: Saturday, October 17th
Threat Level: High (Target possesses above-average detection abilities)
MISSION
OBJECTIVE
Should you choose to accept it...
To successfully surprise Danielle after she has been lured to what she believes is a quiet birthday dinner with just Michael, Zoe, Zac and Greer - only to be slowly ambushed at a restaurant that eventually ends up full of family and friends all celebrating her 60th birthday.
THE
PLAN
Phase One ➙ The Arrival
Danielle and the first four undercover agents (Michael, Zoe, Zac and Greer) arrive at the restaurant- a perfectly innocent table for five
(but actually squeezed into a table for four to keep Danielle annoyed and distracted).
Phase Two ➙ Pure Coincidence
Jon and Venita just happen to arrive at the same restaurant - and they are seated right next to us - what are the chances?
(the tables are joined. I mean, it would be rude not to).
Phase Three ➙ Deja Vu (all over again)
⚡︎ Lightning has been known to strike twice - so why not dinner guests?
What a surprise! Cam and Leanne also just happen to arrive at the same restaurant - and they are also seated right next to us - what incredible odds - maybe we should run out and buy lottery tickets!
(more tables are joined - and by now I reckon that the cat is well and truly out of the bag).
Phase Four ➙ The Reveal
At this point Danielle realises she's been completely set up, but she doesn't know that there is more. Much more - as over a dozen of her friends and family just happen upon her quiet birthday dinner.
(the restaurant staff magically transform more tables into one enormous celebration as everyone else appears).

Mission Success Probability
Event Probability
Danielle suspects nothing 63%
Michael accidentally says too much (or not enough) 84%
Danielle cries more than once 97%
Everyone has an amazing night 100%
Meeting Point
Volunteer Only (non-conscription)
Danielle will be taking the train from St Leonards around 5:30ish to Milsons Point with the aim of arriving at Milsons Point around 5:45pm and to Loulou Bistro just before 6:00pm (she is always very prompt).
As such we will need to have the train and station clear so as to avoid any potential run-ins with people.
A fun (although non-mandatory) suggestion would be for people to meet early at the Kirribilli Hotel Pub as it is only an 8 to 12 minute walk from the pub to the restaurant.
Our Captains will text to let you know when we have safely exited the train station and are en-route to the destination.
