The Glass Cage



Good morning, Mr. Phelps.  The man you're looking at is Anton Reisner, the much-beloved leader of the resistance against his country's tyrannical government.   Three weeks ago, he was incarcerated in the automated Trast Prison, from which no escape has ever been made.  The prison is currently commanded by this man, Major Nicholas Zelinko, who is torturing Reisner in order to get the names of other resistance leaders.  Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to get Reisner out of Trast Prison.  As always, should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.  This message will self-destruct in five seconds.  Good luck, Jim.
