The Field


Good morning, Mr. Phelps.  This satellite, launched this morning by a hostile power, contains several thermonuclear bombs, each large enough to destroy any capital city in the world.  Controls for the weapon, which is designed for international blackmail, are situated on this fortified island in the Adriatic.  The installation is protected by a sophisticated mine field designed by an American defector, Arthur Norris, and considered to be impenetrable.  Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to destroy the satellite.  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.
