Mission Impossible: The Search for Ethan Hunt
Mission Impossible: Search for Ethan Hunt” aims to transport its delegates into the world of the Mission Impossible franchise following the events of Rogue Nation. Delegates will tackle realistic crisis scenarios with fun, fictionalized twists, bringing the spirit of the franchise to life while teaching delegates valuable skills. Delegates' mission, should they choose to accept it, will be to save the world from its latest danger, the Apostles. To do so, they must find Ethan Hunt.
Topic one: Saving the World
The CIA thought that Solomon Lane’s capture meant the end of the terrorism group known as the Syndicate, made up of rogue field operatives from various intelligence agencies. Now, two years later, it seems as though they may have been mistaken. The Syndicate has reappeared under a new banner: the Apostles. Whispers in the underground world of crime suggest they, directed by a mysterious figure named John Lark, are planning to undermine the international order using nuclear weapons. The committee must prevent this group from succeeding; the world depends on it.
topic two: Ethan Hunt is Missing
Impossible Missions Force (IMF) agent Ethan Hunt is famous within the intelligence world for saving the world many times in the past. As another world crisis looms on the horizon, the CIA and its allies hope to enlist his help yet again. The issue: Hunt has been missing for nearly a year! He’s gone completely off the grid, evading any and all attempts to track his location down and avoiding all forms of communication. The committee must find him if there is going to be any hope of stopping the Apostles, even if he does not wish to be found.
