- Person on Tape: [voice on tape] Good morning, Mr. Phelps. The man you are looking at is King Selim III of Qamadan, a good friend of the West. Unknown to the world, the King has been imprisoned somewhere for over six months by his younger brother, Prince Samandal. With the King in his power, Samandal now controls the huge oil royalties which are Qamadan's main source of revenue. To suppress those opposing him, the Prince resorts to inhuman torture and murder, carried out by this man, Colonel Hatafis, who heads one of the most brutal and feared police forces in the Middle East. Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to rescue King Selim and restore him to his throne. 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 second. Good luck, Jim.

- Colonel Hatafis: To maintain order, I propose therefore, to assume the powers of regent. Now, this has not been a quick or easy decision for me. However, I feel confident in the affection and the support of our people, and in my ability to carry out the great work which was so close to His Majesty's heart.
