Iranian ninjas... When I first read those two words back-to-back, I confess I paused for a few minutes, and pondered on the meaning of my life... Like, am I in the best or the worst version of the Multiverse? Iranian ninjas...
Joke aside, the story was nice, and milked its concept for all its worth (I'm talking about the fact it takes place in Iran, not just about the ninja part). Muslim-inspired clothes haven't appeared often in USB stories, so it feels like a breath of fresh air.
I don't know if it was intentional, but there seemed to be a recurring theme that some of these women hide a more cheeky side under their conservative clothes.
The end feels like the light-hearted version of Harper's story. Man, even when they try to be nice, these government agencies can't help but treat their employees like pawns...
"Just send her a goddamn check." Love the running-gag.
Hi Rufus
I must admit that when Cynthia introduced me to the Iranian Ninja's on the Discord. I was taken completely aback myself, i didn't even know it was a thing. But sexy, sultry persian girls in camouflage karate suits? I knew I had to write a story about them. I was sold at the thought of tied up persian girls, in just their undies. (Or if you're Liesel, the unfortunate German tourist, naked.
)
I'am glad you enjoyed the story, I had noticed that Muslim religious clothing hasn't featured much on the USB so I thought to redress that. As clothing like the hijab, abaya and of course the burka, all make for great disguises for a USB heroine stuck in the Middle East. I'am pleased with the positive reception they have received. (And recently, Israeli special forces used Muslim female clothing, along with medical uniforms to infiltrate an hospital. And some of these operators were women, so it makes you wonder how they acquired these disguises... But I digress.)
I will hold my hands up and say that was purely intentional on my part.
Whenever, I see pictures of beautiful middle eastern women in their conservative clothing my mind wonders to the thought of their underwear. Would they take the chance to at least feel like a woman, and wear racy underwear? I mean the prophet isn't going to care if they are wearing lace knickers under their Abaya's, right? At least I hope that's the case.
That's intelligence agencies the world over, I'am afraid. Always treat their staff like chess pieces, and if you're an asset its much worse. Personally, I think Shahnaz would be better off if she joined the SI. She will get to use fancy gadgets and will be treated like a human being and not an expendable asset.
I think the CIA would go bankrupt on the USB if they had to compensate every woman who got robbed by one of their agents.
Thanks for the review, Rufus. I appreciate it.
