section7mfu | Reminder: The Great Episode Challenge Stories Begin Posting Tomorrow! (Reply)

Your choices for this first challenge are:

Choice #1: The Hula Doll Affair

In the episode’s prologue, Illya is in a bunker with an unnamed female UNCLE scientist waiting for the outside temperature to reach 90 degrees so he can observe the M4 explosive detonate. He seems quite attracted to her, even commenting that it is getting warm in there to which she replies, “Thank you.” She is never seen or mentioned again. The question is: What if Illya had acted on his attraction?

Choice #2: The Summit Five Affair

When Harry Beldon reveals himself to be a THRUSH agent, he says that he has waited 7 years to make his move. How long he has been with UNCLE, was he always THRUSH or was he a defector, and how he was able to remain undetected are not explained. The question is: What was Harry Beldon’s motivation to betray UNCLE?

The challenge is to choose one of the presented episodes and compose a story that answers the question raised. If you have already written a story that you think best answers that question, by all means, please repost it.
