Solution to Bring Us Food, Yo

by Timothy Abbott, Jennifer Berk, Iolanthe Chronis, and Roger Ford

The first step is to bring us food, yo. Once teams do that, we give them seven fortune cookies, each with a spy-related fortune (surrounded by happy faces) and a set of "Lucky Numbers". The fortunes and lucky numbers are:

Winter territory often slows aging assassins.
4 7 11 23 33 36

Never disguise Vietnamese traitors with sombreros.
2 13 14 27 28 34

Alert spies usually spot simple traps.
1 16 19 24 35 41

Iridium radar imaging targets hidden bunkers.
15 26 29 30 31 39

Windows cannot often escape computer infiltration.
10 17 18 22 32 40

Satellite espionage worries valuable agency spies.
3 5 8 37 38 42

Randomizing obscure routes simplifies difficult evasions.
6 9 12 20 21 25

Each of the sentences is six words, and each number from 1 to 42 is represented once. Take the first letter of the word corresponding to each lucky number, in order by number, and you get ANSWERTWOWORDVISCOUSDESSERTWITHCASSAVABITS. That clues TAPIOCA PUDDING, the answer to the puzzle.
