Fool's Gold



Good morning, Mr. Phelps.  One of these hundred drona notes is the legitimate currency of the Kingdom of Bahkan.  The other is a perfect counterfeit.  One hundred million of these counterfeit drona have been printed by Igor Stravos, finance minister of the Federated Peoples' Republic.  Stravos has demanded that Bahkan redeem its currency in gold.  If Bahkan cannot prove the notes are counterfeit, it must meet the demand.  Stravos knows this will exhaust Bahkan's gold reserve and precipitate the overhrow of Bahkan's pro-Western government.  Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to destroy the counterfeit drona, get the plates, and make certain that Stravos never again presents a threat.  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.
