The Astrologer


Good morning, Mr. Phelps.  Nikolai Kurzon, in spite of his exile from Veyska by the military junta that took over the country, has continued to lead a popular movement to overthrow this dictatorship.  We know that two days ago, Colonel Alex Stahl, head of the Veyskian secret police, seized Kurzon outside the country, but we don't know where.  Kurzon had in his possession a frame of microfilm containing the names of Veyskian officials and leading citizens who support him.  If Kurzon and the microfilm are returned to Veyska, it will result in the murder of these patriots and kill their chance to liberate the country.  Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to rescue Nikolai Kurzon and make sure that microfilm does not get to Veyska.   As always, if you or any of your IM Force should be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.  Please destroy this tape in the usual manner.  Good luck, Jim.
