A Different Flame

"A Different Flame" is a The Lord of the Rings mission undertaken by Adam and Frenchie.

Synopsis
Adam and Frenchie came across Harrow the Balrog Sue on a routine mission to capture audio samples for the B. S. Johnson Collection of Improbable Sounds, in this case the roar of a Balrog. They accidentally wandered into a fanfic in time to witness Durin's Bane spout pop slang at Gandalf and plummet to his death. Harrow appeared shortly thereafter. She had, horror of horrors, bright blue eyes and a multicolored mane. She dove after him (dragging the agents with her in a tangle of recording equipment) and apparently spent the rest of the fic whining and crying about her mate and their fuzzy, loveable family in a manner most unfitting for a fire demon of the ancient world.

Sadly, the mission doesn't go into great detail about exactly how the Sue acts soppy and ruins the badass reputation of Balrogs everywhere. This probably has to do with the fact that the fall knocked Adam and Frenchie unconscious, rendering them unable to witness the specifics. The fact that she's still at it when they come around speaks volumes nonetheless.

Unfortunately, not being Assassins, the Geeks didn't actually kill Harrow. Fortunately, this unwieldy creation became the entertainment of several of HQ's mini-Balrogs.
