- Person on Tape: [voice on tape] Good morning, Mr. Phelps. On Wednesday morning, Adolfo Rojas addresses a joint session of Congress. Before he enters the congressional chambers, Rojas will be dead, his government taken over by Manuel Ferrar, his Chief of Internal Security. The murderer will be a professional assassin with the code name Plato, whose true identity is known only to Farrar. Although warned, Presidente Rojas refuses to cancel this vital appearance, and obviously, our government cannot withdraw its invitation. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to learn Plato's identity and transmit the information to Washington before Presidente Rojas begins his speech. 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.

- Presidente Adolfo Rojas: [on television] And in my speech to the American Congress, I intend to propose a new kind of partnership with the United States. One built on cooperation and mutual understanding. The old cliches must be forgotten. During the next decade, the problems of overpopulation, of poverty, and of militarism, must be met squarely, if we are to survive.
