Kuryakin's appetite for learning was as voracious as his desire for a second helping of a good meal. First it was books but now access to UNCLE computers became his organon of choice when it came to research.

The agents watched with raised brows and twisted lips as the beautiful Innocent strolled away on Waverly’s arm. “Alas, there is no organon of the heart,” Illya said.

This was a tough one. 😁

And yet you managed it beautifully!

Illya's propensity for knowing everything had been annoying to Napoleon at first. These days, however, the American found the Russian to be an excellent organon.

No one seemed to know what Mr. Waverly's organon was to keep abreast of all the happenings in U.N.C.L.E. headquarters. Illya Kuryakin's was to listen unobtrusively to secretaries gossip. Napoleon's was to listen to his partner.

That's a hard one, I'll pass on it.


Congratulations to all who have come up with something.
