Year 1562
Currently Viraja was interacting with 25 men standing before him send by his father as fulfillment of a request made by him a month ago. This men satisfy all criteria that has been put forth by him to his father which includes they are highly trained in espionage and assassination and extremely loyal to the crown, has some knowledge of different region in the greater Bharat and willing to go to any length in order to to execute a mission also highly skilled at hiding in plain sight and extracting information. Best of all they have family in the capital who are well taken care of by the royal family so if he sends them on mission there is little chance of them becoming turncoat and betraying him.
As he looked at the men standing in-front of him, he wanted to gauge their impression about taking orders from a 8 years old. So he asked them "What do you all know about me and i want an honest answer, do not worry I give you my word that you won't be penalized if your words are unflattering". Initially there was silence then a middle aged man took the lead introduced himself as Suryasen and said "Your Highness we know how it was your idea which was employed by His majesty to counter the noble in the court and His Majesty has also informed us that even-though you may look like a child your intelligence and knowledge are at par with a well learned scholar". Hearing this Viraja was quite satisfied but just to double check he asked loudly "Does everyone here has the same understanding about me as described by Suryasen here", hearing this everyone answered in affirmation.
Then lets move on to the order of business for the day. From today onward you are all under my command you report to me and me alone. This organization will be named as the Third Eye and I appoint Suryasen as the Head of the organization. He will be the one who will give you all orders and he will directly report to me. Except Suryasen everyone is dismissed, Finally when Suryasen was the only one left Viraja handed him a the official document which list the mission that he want the men in the organization to undertake priority wise.It includes as follows:
1) As many as 100 to 150 more agents need to be recruit/trained within a year and half. Every agent should have information of the mission on a need to know basis to plug leak if any and make sure the new people recruited should be loyal to the crown.
2) Send agents towards the barony Badrak to find out the situation in and around the same in detail including suitable remote location to build foundries and if there is any noble personal army stationed nearby and report to me within a month.
3) Agents to be send to Mughal empire, Maratha Kingdom, Vijaynagar Empire, Bengal sultanate, Portuguese occupied Chittagong on priority basis to understand if any internal conflicts going on within their borders along with the weapon they are using and approximate army structure and composition and their current enemies that they are at war with.
4) A spy network to be created for effective communication of information between Third Eye Headquarters and the agents in the field.
5) Agents to be send to all the other nations within the greater Bharat and beyond to understand the political situation, weapons and army composition of the same. This is a long term mission and has the least priority for now
After reading the mission outlined the only thought came to the mind of Suryasen is "His highness is truly worthy of praise given by His Majesty". Once done reading as he looked at the prince, Viraja said "I want mission written in point 3 to be worked on as early as possible so that i can have steady information flow of all that is going there. With this Viraja dismissed Suryasen and commanded him to report back to him about the progress after 30 days as the meeting ended.
