I am doing a thread with George at the moment, which is a loose mission. And will give him his first steps as a Shadow.
More training is great and I would be happy to help out there too if you need me.

You can start threading as a Shadow out side SSC boards, just keep it at your rank level and so on. I did when first doing this, it also helps with developing the char as well as promo etc.
If you are thinking of infiltration into other factions that is harder to do, but if you want that contact the respective admins of the groups and see what they say. Or, you could create your own situation on for example Coruscant, and see if there are some Sith that might like to thread it out with you. Win or loose with it is not the importance, but the story. Or make something up on a planet that would not require permissions etc.
Self training is another good thing to do if you like those, the Dark Heart is there for you to do that as well. I kinda have a padawan at the moment, but I would be happy to do some training one to one for you all as well.
