The mission requires the spy to stand on the same <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22pad%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22pad%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5Bpad%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="555026-3292320885445757ee1ac1" href="/wiki/Pad" title="Pad">pad</a> as the target, and select the "Flirt with Seduction Target" action. Doing this fills the seduction progress meter displayed in the mission status area at the upper-left of the spy's screen. The more effective the flirt, the more the meter will fill. The mission is complete when the seduction meter is full.
</p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Flirt effectiveness is controlled by two factors: the spy's proximity to the target and the results of the <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22action%20test%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Action%20Test%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BAction%20Test%7Caction%20test%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="555026-3292320885445757ee1ac1" href="/wiki/Action_Test" title="Action Test">action test</a>. The mission can be completed with only two flirts if the spy stands right next to the target and performs green action tests. If the spy stands on the opposite side of a <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22conversation%20circle%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Conversation%20Circle%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BConversation%20Circle%7Cconversation%20circle%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="555026-3292320885445757ee1ac1" href="/wiki/Conversation_Circle" title="Conversation Circle">conversation circle</a> and performs white action tests, it will take six flirts. A meter next to the mission name at the upper-left shows the spy their current progress on the mission.
</p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">In a conversation, a flirt will be complete as soon as the action test is finished. In all other pads, the spy must wait a certain amount of time, shown by a progress meter just above the seduction meter, before the flirt is complete. The flirt will fail if either the spy or seduction target moves before the meter fills.
</p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">After a flirt, a cooldown timer begins, which is displayed as an orange meter just above the seduction meter. Until that timer expires, the spy cannot flirt again. The duration of the timer depends on the distance between the spy and the seduction target. Being in the same pad as the seduction target applies a penalty that slows down the cooldown timer. Leaving the seduction target's pad will start reducing that penalty; the longer the spy is out of the pad and the further the spy gets from the seduction target, the more the penalty will be reduced. The cooldown also drains faster if the target moves.
</p>
<h2 data-rte-spaces-before="1" data-rte-spaces-after="1" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"> Action Test </h2>
<p data-rte-fromparser="true">In a conversation circle, a talking animation will be displayed as soon as the action test begins. (Flirting in other pad types does not require talking.)
</p>
<ul data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"><li data-rte-spaces-before="1"><b>Green:</b> The flirt is very effective, filling up to half of the seduction meter if the spy is standing right next to the target.
</li><li data-rte-spaces-before="1"><b>White/ignored:</b> The flirt is less effective, filling up to a third of the seduction meter if the spy is standing right next to the target.
</li><li data-rte-spaces-before="1"><b>Red:</b> The flirt fails, and the seduction target leaves the pad immediately.
</li><li data-rte-spaces-before="1"><b>Aborted:</b> If the spy or seduction target moves before the action test or seduction timer finishes, the flirt will fail, but there is no other punishment.
</li></ul>
<h2 data-rte-spaces-before="1" data-rte-spaces-after="1" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"> Spy Strategy </h2>
<p data-rte-fromparser="true">This is considered one of the easiest missions for a spy. Flirts can typically done with casual visits between other missions. However, experienced snipers may notice if you stand very close to a character more than once, or pursue them around the map, so you still need to be careful. Once you start flirting outside a conversation, wait for the seduction timer in the top left to fill before moving on. Avoid beginning to flirt immediately upon entering a pad; NPCs typically wait a little before talking.
</p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">The red action test can be used to <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22frame%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Framing%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BFraming%7Cframe%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="555026-3292320885445757ee1ac1" href="/wiki/Framing" title="Framing">frame</a> the seduction target. For example, <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22uttering%20%5C%22banana%20bread%5C%22%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Contact%20Double%20Agent%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BContact%20Double%20Agent%7Cuttering%20%5C%22banana%20bread%5C%22%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="555026-3292320885445757ee1ac1" href="/wiki/Contact_Double_Agent" title="Contact Double Agent">uttering "banana bread"</a> in the same conversation circle as the seduction target and then doing a red flirt will cause the target to immediately leave the circle. To the sniper, this makes it look like the target is trying to quickly leave the circle to avoid being <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22highlighted%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Laser%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BLaser%7Chighlighted%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="555026-3292320885445757ee1ac1" href="/wiki/Laser" title="Laser">highlighted</a>. Essentially, you will have caused the target to simulate a "banana split."
</p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Doing a red action test is also useful if you want to flirt, but the seduction target is on the far side of the conversation circle. By red flirting, you force the seduction target to leave the conversation circle. You can then follow them to their destination and flirt with them there, since red flirts don't activate the flirt cooldown timer.
</p>
<h2 data-rte-spaces-before="1" data-rte-spaces-after="1" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"> Sniper Strategy </h2>
<p data-rte-fromparser="true">Catching the spy flirting with the seduction target is quite difficult, especially since you don't know the target's identity and there is no hard tell. However, there are some behaviors that may clue you in to the spy's identity. Because distance is a determining factor in how quickly the target is seduced, spies tend to stand very close to the seduction target, and must flirt with them at least twice. It is possible to watch suspects and see which characters they are standing close to, and use that to determine if the spy is going for a seduction.
</p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">A character that immediately starts talking when entering a conversation circle is also suspicious.
