Mela prepared for the disguise lecture, introducing Hoagie as her slightly unwilling assistant
She outlined the topics to be covered as; name, hair, body, dress, make up and story. She began with story, firstly giving the example of a character she plays when in disguise....
…..and then challenging us all to invent a name and story of our own on which Mela questioned each of us rigorously. She made us realise how thoroughly we need to think through our aliases before venturing into hostile territory.
We then moved onto dress, Mela pointing out how we must ensure our clothes fitted our background story. To illustrate her point Hoagie was “persuaded” to dress as “Lady Samantha”.
The lack of shapeliness of the chest was quickly dealt with.
Next came make up, much to Hoagies dismay and the delight of everyone else.
Finally Mela described how best to dye hair and in the use of wigs. This time demonstrating on herself.
An excellent training which certainly made this scout vow to put in a lot more thought into his disguise before venturing out on his next mission.

Edmund Rufus
