Good morning, Mr Briggs.

The man you're looking at is Helmut Cherlotov,

the Iron Curtain's expert in rocket control.

He was supposed to follow, but never made it.

Since then,

Cherlotov has been under suspici

by Taal Jankowski, the head of security.

to a simple yet extremely effective antiballistic-missile system.

A system of that sort, in the wrong hands,

Your mission, should you decide to accept it,

is to get Cherlotov out

before mks g WGisee

As always, should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed,

any knowledge of your actions.
