Okay woodcampers, lets make a vote!

1. Regular weapons

Its been said that "The pen is mightier than the sword": Sure, blackjacks, pistols, fully automatic weapons, and so on, are good, but the press of a key can lead to absolute pandemonium. Though the Agency has a lot of training and wepaonry, they could suddenly find themselves surrounded by hordes of cops due to someone with Anonymous hacking into cop computers, giving each agent a criminal record. They could even strike back at Agency computers, and this will be the pressure cooker: Unlike the CIA and NSA, the Agency is relatively underfunded, severely so, so its computers are not as numerous, or on par with the big boy agencies, and are thus not as safe from mass hack attacks: they will be crippled in cyberspace, perhaps never able to recover from the damage!

Plus, Agents in the field might be overwhelemed physically by members of Anonymous, through sheer numbers (similar tactic that Zombies use, except Anonymous members are FAR smarter and faster).

However, in the open field, the Agency will dominate by having a supeirority in physicality, weaponry, and hand to hand combat techniques.

Still, Anonymous has a major hacking superority. They have the edge.

EDGE: Anonymous!

2. Special

Darien Fawkes is a professional cat burglar who can become invisible and visible at will, making him the best stealth agent in the world. He is a master thief who can steal a vatiety of objects, even, oh I don;t know...COMPUTER DISKS! Even with Anonymous knowing of its existence, they do not have any way to defend themsevles from him, for how could they tell when he is nearby?

Anonymous will indeed have numbers, but if they try to pass the disk from person to person to ad infinitum, Fawkes will follow unseen, watching whoever has the disk, and then spring to the attack, snagging the disk and either destroying it or returning it to the agency.

Darien does have a weakness: Quicksilver madness. the More he uses his ability, the closer he gets to going cuckoo for cocoa puffs! His eyes turn red (eventually solid silver of nothing is done to stop it) and goes on the rampage, potentially lethal. His strength might even increase during the more extreme periods of Quicksilver madness. Though he is the most important asset to the Agency, its most useful agent, Fawkes could prove a liability should the chase last for days, or if it starts when he is nearing the time for a counteragent to undo the quicksilver madness.

Still, the Keeper, his private nurse, is often close enough to get there in time to give him the shot, and if he is nearing such an episode during this event, she will most likely be close by, should the worse case scenario arise,

Despite his weaknesses, Darien Fawke's invisibility outwieghs Anonymous' Numbers.

EDGE: The Agency!

Computer savvy will be crucial here, but it will not be by itself the key to a victory. Anonymous has to shift hands with the disk and get it to a safe place or in safe hands before the Agency can attain it. This means cat and mouse. And while Anonymous could hack into street lights and cop car computers to cause the Agency misery, they cannot confront what they cannot even see. If Anonymous tries to overwhelm Agents through physical sheer numbers, they will pull out there weapons and stop them dead in their tracks without one shot fired. Though the Agency does not have the numbers of cumputer experts Anonymous has, they will give a good battle online, and though Anonymous can threaten superpowers, they cannot face supermen, nor indeed have they ever faced someone with superpowers before...

The Agency wins, but barely...

THE AGENCY ASSAILS ANONYMOUS!
