The Crane



Good morning, Mr. Phelps.  This is a man known only as Constantine.  He's the leader of the People's Republican Army, the guerrilla force which is fighting the brutal, dictatorial military junta that overthrew the Republic of Logosia five years ago.   This junta is headed by General of the Army, Yuri Kozani.  Second in command is Colonel Alex Strabo, chief of the elite National Security Force.  Several days ago, the struggle against the military junta was dealt a heavy blow with the capture of Constantine.  He is to be brought into the capital of Logosia within twenty-four hours for execution.  Your mission, Jim, should you choose to accept it, is to prevent the execution of Constantine and pave the way for his guerrilla forces to smash the military junta and restore Logosia's democratic government.  As always, should you or any 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.
