- Person on Tape: [voice on tape] Good afternoon, Mr. Phelps. This is Professor William Bennett, the Nobel Prize winning archaeologist who is becoming the innocent pawn in a political coup being staged by this man, Stephan Gomalk. The Chief of the Security Police, Gomalk, plans to overthrow the pro-Western government of his closest friend, Beyron Rurich. The plan to assassinate Rurich has been code-named Anniversary. Professor Bennett has a chronically weak heart. When he was arrested by mistake and intensively interrogated by Gomalk, Bennett's heart failed. He is now in a hospital maximum security ward. Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to get Bennett out alive and prevent Rurich's assassination by Gomalk. As always, should you or any of your IM Force are caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This recording will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jim.
