  Person on Tape : [voice on tape]  Good afternoon, Mr. Briggs. Two espionage groups from an enemy country are engaged in a power struggle which has focused on the problem of which group will assassinate this man, Professor Napolsky, who recently defected to us. In six days, the professor must appear at a scientific conference where he will be an open target. This is Andrei Fetyakov, the number one assassin for the new young civilian group which the Secretary considers far more dangerous than the old-line military intelligence service represented by this man, Colonel Shtemenko. Mr. Briggs, your mission, should you decide to accept it, would be to stop the assassination in such a way as to totally discredit Fetyakov and his organization, so that the old group, which we find easier to handle, will remain in power. 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 recording in the usual manner. Good luck, Dan.
