Good morning, Mr. Briggs. Josef Varsh, public
prosecutor and head of his country's secret police, is one of the most dangerous men in
Eastern Europe. He heads the political faction which wants to heat up the Cold War.
Opposed to himare those who favor coexistence, led by Anton Kudnov, a deputy
premier. Varsh now plans to stir up feeling against the United States by arresting
and charging some innocent American with a serious crime, and then staging a propoganda
show trial for the world. He plans to use this to gain absolute power for
himself. Should Varsh succeed, not only will the victim lose his freedom and
possibly his life, but the international peace will be threatened. Your mission,
should you decide to accept it, is to stop Varsh and so discredit him that he will never
again be a political 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 recording
will decompose in five seconds. Good luck, Dan.
