    • Quotes
      • Person on Tape: [voice on tape] Good morning, Mr. Phelps. A canister of deadly experimental nerve gas TX-222, ordered destroyed by the President, has been stolen from an army laboratory. The canister was hijacked by this man, Wendell Hoyes, a fugitive Syndicate Enforcer whose brother Cayman, is serving a life sentence for the murder of a federal agent. Wendell Hoyes is threatening to release the gas in a heavily populated area unless authorities immediately surrender his brother. Obviously, the government cannot be party to any such deal. Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to recover the canister of TX-222. This tape will self-destruct in five-seconds. Good luck, Jim.
