Episode 18: The Diamond

Good morning, Mr. Briggs. The man you're looking at is Henrik Durvard. He seized power in Lombuanda, a small country on the Gulf of Guinea, and has given himself the title of prime minister. He is in fact a dictator who rules with an iron hand, keeping two million natives half starved, with no schools, hospitals, or any voice in government. Recently, native tribesmen in the northern part of the country discovered a natural diamond that is rumored to be the largest ever found: nearly twenty-seven thousand karats, worth about thirty million dollars. Durvard has confiscated the stone and intends to sell it, using the proceeds to take over other independent tribal areas. Your mission, Dan, should you decide to accept it, is to stop Durvard and return the diamond to its rightful owners. 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 tape by the usual means. Good luck, Dan.
