| Good afternoon, Mr. Phelps. The man you're
looking at is the eccentric art collector Victor Laszlo, who recently arranged
the theft of a new fuel formula vital to America's missile defense. The theft was
executed by Laszlo's partner Ray Dunson, who also killed the one American
scientist capable of duplicating the formula. Enemy scientists have recently
solved the same problem, so they do not need our copy of the formula. But they
will pay Laszlo handsomely for the privilege of destroying it, and thereby
putting us years behind in military capability. Your mission, Jim, should you
decide to accept it, is to recover the formula. As always, should 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 five seconds. Good luck, Jim. |
