Good morning, Mr. Briggs. The man you're looking at is Henrik Durvard. He
seized power in Lombuanda, a small country on the Gulf of Guinea, and has given himself
the title of prime minister. He is in fact a dictator who rules with an iron hand,
keeping two million natives half starved, with no schools, hospitals, or any voice in
government. Recently, native tribesmen in the northern part of the country
discovered a naturaldiamond that is rumored to be the largest ever found: nearly
twenty-seven thousand karats, worth about thirty million dollars. Durvard has
confiscated the stone and intends to sell it, using the proceeds to take over other
independent tribal areas. You mission, Dan, should you decide to accept it, is to
stop Durvard and return the diamond to its rightful owners. As always, should you or
any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your
actions. Please dispose of this tape by the usual means. Good luck, Dan.
