The Choice



Good morning, Mr. Phelps.  During the past six months, the Grandduchess Theresa of Trent has come under the domination of a self-proclaimed mystic, Emile Vautrain.   Vautrain is a sadistic charlatan who plans to use his relationship with Theresa to make himself ruler of the duchy.  If Vautrain succeeds, Trent will become a cruel dictatorship allied with our enemies.  Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to stop Vautrain.  As always, should you or any member of your IM Force be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.  This tape will self-destruct in five seconds.  Good luck, Jim.
