Actually it's not as mad as it sounds (guarding snails, that is). There are lots of strange collectors out there and lots of rare snails as well*. Imagine a scenario where an environmental pressure group hires BE to protect the last few Curly Coated snails because they're all that stands in the way of an environmentally damaging project in the middle of some god forsaken jungle.

1) Find your snail...10mm long and camouflaged in the middle of 1000 square km of jungle. Put up with antics of environmental activist sent along to "help" you.

2) Guard snail against company gunmen, disgruntled locals, collectors and local drug lords who are using the area to process coke.

3) Try not to step on snail when collecting cash reward.

* I think that there are some 300 on Tasmania alone but I might be wrong. Popular with snail collectors Tasmania.

Once is chance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.
