- Person on Tape: [voice on tape] Good morning, Mr. Phelps. One of these 100-drona notes is the legitimate currency of the Kingdom of Bahkan, the other is a perfect counterfeit. One hundred million of this counterfeit drona have been been printed by Igor Stravos, Finance Minister of the Federated People's Republic. Stravos has demanded that Bahkan redeem its currency in gold. If Bahkan cannot prove the notes are counterfeit, it must meet the demand. Stravos knows this will exhaust Bahkan's gold reserve and precipitate the overthrow of Bahkan's pro-Western government. Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to destroy the counterfeit drona, get the plates, and make certain that Stravos never again presents a threat. 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.

- Igor Stravos: We all have to make little compromises.
