- Person on Tape: [voice on tape] Good morning, Mr. Phelps. General Aragas, Regent of the Kingdom of Sardia, plans to murder young King Victor and make it appear that the boy's uncle, Grand Duke Clement of Montego, was responsible for the crime. By disposing of the royal family in this way, General Aragas will make himself permanent ruler and embark on a course of international adventurism that would engulf the whole region in war. Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to stop Aragas. 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.

- General Stefano Aragas: Victor, there was someone behind you. Believe me, this is a trick. This is a despicable trick.
- King Victor: You tried to kill me.
