Episode 59: The Elixir

Good morning, Mr. Phelps. The woman you're looking at is Riva Santel, widow of the late president of San Cordova. Riva has always been the actual power behind the throne and she arranged to make herself the focus of an intense personality cult. The people of San Cordova have been systematically propagandized into revering her face and name. In seventy-two hours this man, Deputy Premier Tomas Avilla, plans to announce free elections. Before then, however, Riva intends to make a televised speech in which she will announce her takeover as dictator of San Cordova. Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to stop the coup planned by Riva Santel, and to make possible free elections in San Cordova. As always, if you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This tape will self-destruct in ten seconds. Good luck, Jim.
