HARRY THE REPORT BELOW IS CAUSING A LOT OF CONCERN IN UK

INTELLIGENCE AND GOVERNMENTCIRCLES. WHITEHALL ASKED ME TO BRING YOU

IN ON THIS. CAN YOU GET OVER BY NEXT WEEK? SEEMS LIKE YOUR SORT OF

PROBLEM. HOPE YOU CAN MAKE IT, THIS IS TURNING INTO SOMETHING BIG.

ANYWAY HERE IS THE INTELLIGENCE REPORT FROM OUR AGENTS. WE HAVE BEEN

GETTING REPORTS OF ENEMY ACTIVITY ALONG ESSEX COAST UNDER COVER OF

LAST WEEKS FLOODING. ONE REPORTED SIGHTING OF A SUBMARINE CLOSE

INSHORE ON ESSEX MARSHES. SEVERAL NAZI SYMPATHISERS IN EAST ANGLIA

KNOWN TO HAVE SLIPPED SURVEILLANCE DURING THE CONFUSION WITH SOME

POSSIBLE SIGHTINGS LATER IN LONDON. INDIAN INTELLIGENCE REPORTING

CONSIDERABLE ACTIVITY IN BOMBAY AMONG EX-PAT FASCISTS WITH LINKS TO

THE UK NAZI MOVEMENT, IN PARTICULAR TO ONE OF THE AGENTS NOW

MISSING. BY THE WAY, WE INTERCEPTED THE ATTACHED MESSAGE, WHICH

SHOULDNT POSE TOO MUCH OF A CHALLENGE TO DECRYPT! CHARLIE

MY DEAR FRIEND HERZ-FEUER , ALL IS WELL HERE. BOTH OF OUR AGENTS

MADE IT SAFELY ONTO BRITISH SOIL. THE CHAOS ON THE ISLAND IN THE

THAMES MADE IT EASY TO SMUGGLE TWO MORE MEN UNNOTICED ONTO ONE OF

THE MANY RESCUE BOATS CROSSING THE ESTUARY. THE LIBERATION OF THE

MOUNTAIN SHOULD PROCEED AS PLANNED. THE LOCATION OF THE TWIN IS YET

TO BE DETERMINED BUT OUR AGENTS ARE CURRENTLY RECRUITING LOCAL

SYMPATHIZERS TO ASSIST IN TRACKING IT DOWN, AND TO HELP FIND A

SUITABLE HEADQUARTERS FOR OUR SCIENTISTS TO WORK. ONCE THEIR MISSION

IS ACCOMPLISHED OUR SPIES IN ENGLAND SHOULD BE INSTRUCTED TO CROSS

COUNTRY TO CORNWALL FOR THEIR EXTR ACTION. DO NOT REPLY UNTIL YOU

ARE ABLE TO CONFIRM THEIR WHEREABOUTS. FOR THE HONOUR OF THE REICH,

CHARLIE, THE THEFT OF THE IMPERIAL CROWN FROM THE WHITE TOWER LAST

WEEK HAS SHOCKED THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY AND MOST OF MY CONTACTS

ARE LYING LOW, BUT I MADE SOME ENQUIRIES WITH KHOLI. I THINK YOU MET

HIM WHEN WE WERE BOTH IN LAHORE DURING THE WAR? HE HAS HEARD RUMOURS

THAT THE ANCIENT CULT OF THE KOH I NOOR TWINS HAS BEEN VERY ACTIVE

RECENTLY AND IT CANT BE A COINCIDENCE THAT THE CROWN HELD THE KOH I

NOOR DIAMOND. I CANT BELIEVE HOW NAVE THE GERMAN AGENTS ARE BEING,

IF THEY KEEP USING THESE EASILY CRACKED CIPHERS WE WILL BE FIND IT

PRETTY EASY TO KEEP TABS ON THEM. THIS ONE IS A BIT TOUGHER BUT NO

ONE IS GOING TO LOSE MUCH SLEEP OVER AN AFFINE SHIFT! ANYWAY IT SAYS

THAT THE NAZIS REALLY ARE BEHIND THE THEFT OF THE DIAMOND, THOUGH I

STILL HAVE NO CLEAR IDEA WHY! I AM CONCERNED THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT

OUR INVOLVEMENT WATCH YOUR BACK, YOUR AUNT WILL NEVER FORGIVE ME IF

ANYTHING HAPPENS TO YOU. I WOULD SUGGEST SENDING THE KIDS TO THE

COUNTRY FOR A WHILE (THOUGH CORNWALL MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST CHOICE)

SO YOU CAN DISAPPEAR IF YOU HAVE TO. KHOLI HAS INFILTRATED THE CULT

AND WILL BE FEEDING US MORE INTELLIGENCE SOON; I WILL LET YOU KNOW

IF I HEAR ANYTHING. HARRY

MY DEAR LETZTER,

THE DIAMOND IS SAFE IN OUR HANDS AND ON ITS WAY TO THE RENDEZVOUS.

IT WILL BE FLOWN FROM THERE TO OUR AGENTS IN SLOVENIA WHO WILL

ARRANGE FOR IT TO BE SHIPPED TO BOMBAY. THE CULT IS, AS YOU CAN

IMAGINE, IN A HIGH STATE OF EXCITEMENT, BUT THEY HAVE NO IDEA OF OUR

PLANS FOR THE GEM. THE MAIN TASK OF OUR AGENTS IN INDIA IS TO OBTAIN

THE KOH I NOOR TWIN. WITH BOTH JEWELS IN OUR POSSESSION THE CULT

MEMBERS WILL BE OURS TO COMMAND AND THE WORK OF OUR PHYSICISTS CAN

BEGIN IN EARNEST. THERE IS ONE SERIOUS CAUSE FOR CONCERN. WE HAVE

HEARD RUMOURS THAT THE AGENT KNOWN AS HARRY HAS BEEN MAKING

EXTENSIVE ENQUIRIES IN THE REGION. WE HAD HOPED THAT THE AMERICANS

WOULD BE KEPT OUT OF THIS OPERATION, SINCE THEY HAVE NO REAL

STRATEGIC INTERESTS IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD, HOWEVER THE BRITISH

AGENT CHARLIE, WHO WE BELIEVE TO BE RELATED TO OUR OLD NEMESIS

AGATHA HIGHFIELD, IS THOUGHT TO HAVE BROUGHT US INTELLIGENCE INTO

THE FIELD. WE MAY NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THAT PARTICULAR IRRITATION.

FOR THE HONOUR OF THE REICH, HERZ-FEUER

HARRY, I TOOK YOUR ADVICE AND PACKED THE KIDS OFF TO AUNT AGGIES FOR

A WHILE. I FIGURE THERE ISNT A NAZI AGENT ALIVE THAT CAN TAKE HER

ON AND LIVE TO TELL THE TALE. I MADE MY EXCUSES IN LONDON AND AM

WORKING OUT OF A SMALL OFFICE BY THE DOCKS IN SOUTHAMPTON, ONE OF

THE FEW LEFT STANDING AFTER THE BLITZ. I HAVE A PILOT FRIEND WHO

WORKS THE FLYING BOATS FROM HERE, HE OWES ME A FAVOUR AND I SUSPECT

WE MAY NEED TO MOVE FAST. BY THE WAY IT TURNS OUT HE KNOWS GORDON

MITCHELL, THEY WORKED TOGETHER IN SEARCH AND RESCUE FOR A WHILE.

THOUGHT THE CONNECTION MIGHT SUGGEST A FEW IDEAS TO YOU FOR CIPHER

KEYS. THE LATEST NAZI MESSAGE WE INTERCEPTED WAS A BIT OF A PIG TO

CRACK IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE, THOUGH ONCE I FIGURED OUT IT WAS JUST A

KEYWORD SUBSTITUTION IT FELL PRETTY QUICKLY, SURPRISING TO FIND THAT

THE NAZI AGENTS SEEM TO BE WODEHOUSE FANS. IN ALL SERIOUSNESS I AM

BEGINNING TO FEAR FOR KHOLIS SAFETY, THE NAZIS ARE RUTHLESSLY

EXPLOITING THE CULTS LOYALTY TO THE DIAMOND AND THIS WILL, I AM

SURE, MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR HIM TO RECRUIT ANY CULT MEMBERS AS

AGENTS. HAVE YOU HEARD ANY MORE FROM ANY OF OUR CONTACTS, WE REALLY

DO NEED TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE NAZIS HAVE IN MIND. SHOULD I

HITCH A RIDE ON THAT FLYING BOAT AND TAIL HERZ FEUER? MAYBE. AUNT

AGGIE SAYS HI, CHARLIE.

APPOINTED TO TELL YOU THAT THE KOH I NOOR DIAMOND, THAT MOST

PRECIOUS OF ALL THE WORLDS TREASURES, IS TO BE RETURNED AT LAST TO

THE SAFE KEEPING OF THE BROTHERHOOD. MY FELLOW DISCIPLES ARE

TRAVELLING EVEN NOW TO YOUR HOME IN UTTAR PRADESH, WITH THE TREASURE

IN THEIR SAFEKEEPING. AS YOU KNOW IT IS MY DEEPEST WISH TO BE IN THE

PRESENCE OF THE KOH I NOOR TWIN, WHILE I KNOW THAT I AM NOT WORTHY

OF SUCH AN HONOUR, I HOPE WITH ALL MY HEART THAT MY OWN PART IN THE

RESTORATION OF THE MOUNTAIN OF LIGHT MIGHT ENCOURAGE YOU TO

ENTERTAIN THE POSSIBILITY OF GRANTING THIS MOST HEARTFELT WISH. I

WILL MYSELF BE TRAVELLING TO UTTAR PRADESH SHORTLY AND LOOK FORWARD

I WAS GOING TO TELL YOU NOT TO GO BUT I HEAR FROM GORDON THAT YOU

HAVE ALREADY GONE. HE SAID THAT YOU MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT A

GERMAN BUYING A TICKET ON A SHORT SOLENT AND BEFORE HE HAD FINISHED

SPEAKING YOU WERE OUT IN THE HARBOUR BOOKING PASSAGE FOR THE

CANARIES. I AM GUESSING FROM THE INTEL IN THE ATTACHED THAT YOU

WILL END UP IN BOMBAY SO I AM SENDING A COPY OF THIS TO THE CANARIES

AND ONE TO THE US NAVAL ATTACHE IN BOMBAY. I GOT A PRETTY FRANTIC

TELEGRAM FROM KHOLI HE HAS GOT CLOSE TO CERTAIN MEMBERS OF THE HEAD

OF THE CULT AND IS IN CONTACT WITH THE NAZI SYMPATHISERS. SO FAR HE

KNOWS THAT THE NAZIS ARE BUILDING AN ADVANCED TECHNOLOGICAL DEVICE

WHICH WILL USE THE TWO DIAMONDS BUT NOONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IT

DOES. IM MORE THAN A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY AS ITS

BEGINNING TO SOUND TO ME LIKE SOMETHING I SAW IN BLUEPRINTS BACK IN

THE US AND IT LOOKED FAR TOO POWERFUL TO BE JUST A NEW TYPE OF

FLASHLIGHT. I WAS HEADING OUT TO INDIA MYSELF IN A FEW DAYS. KHOLI

NEEDS SOMEONE TO WATCH HIS BACK THOUGH IT APPEARS FROM THE MESSAGE

WE INTERCEPTED BELOW THAT WE MAY BE TOO LATE. I HAVE OTHER AGENTS

COMBING UTTAR PRADESH BUT NO NEWS YET WHATEVER HAPPENS STAY SAFE. BY

THE WAY THE ATTACHED GERMAN CIPHER WAS EXTRA HARD TO CRACK IN MORE

WAYS THAN ONE. IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO FIGURE IT OUT BUT THEN I

REMEMBERED SOMETHING I DISCUSSED WITH JACK WOLFE A PROFESSOR FROM

P a g e | 10

BROOKLYN. THE NAZIS USED TO PAD A LOT OF THEIR MESSAGES WITH THE

LETTER X TO HIDE THE FREQUENCIES. THEY GOT SLOPPY AFTER A WHILE AND

USED THEM PRETTY SYSTEMATICALLY BEFORE AND AFTER ALL NUMBERS, PROPER

NAMES, PLACE NAMES, SENTENCES WITHIN ABBREVIATIONS. ONCE I FIGURED

OUT THAT WAS THERE IT WAS PRETTY EASY TO STRIP IT OUT AND CRACK THE

CIPHER. GOOD LUCK CHARLIE, BE CAREFUL. HARRY.

MY DEAR HERZ FEUER YOUR WORK WITH THE CULT IS OF THE FIRST ORDER AND

OUR HOPES NOW REST ENTIRELY ON FINDING A SUITABLE POWER SOURCE FOR

THE DEVICE OUR AGENTS HAVE INFILTRATED THE POWER WING OF THE CENTRAL

WATER AND POWER COMMISSION AND HAVE BEGUN A SYSTEMATIC AND

COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF THE HYDRO-ELECTRIC RESOURCES IN THE COUNTRY

THEIR INITIAL ESTIMATES SUGGEST THE POTENTIAL TO GENERATE OVER FOUR

THOUSAND MEGAWATTS AT PEAK LOAD ASSUMING ONLY SIXTY PERCENT

EFFICIENCY GERMAN ENGINEERING MAY WELL INCREASE THIS AND I SEE A

HAPPY FUTURE FOR THE REICH IN THE INDIAN SUBCONTINENT EVEN NOW A

PILOT POWER PLANT IN UTTAR PRADESH IS GENERATING ENOUGH POWER FOR

OUR INITIAL TRIALS WITH THE TASCHENLAMPE PROJECT THE ENEMY AGENT

HARRY, I HAVENT GOT MUCH TIME. THE CULT HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING ME FOR

SEVERAL DAYS AND I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO LOSE THEM. THE NUMBER OF

TAILS HAS INCREASED A LOT IN THE LAST TWO HOURS AND I DONT THINK I

CAN GET AWAY. MY SOURCES IN UTTAR PRADESH TELL ME THAT THE

PHYSICIST, TREVOR SALINEN, HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED AND THAT HE HAS BEEN

TAKEN TO THE POWER STATION BEING BUILT THERE BY THE NAZIS. AS FAR AS

I CAN TELL HE WORKS IN QUANTUM PHYSICS AND HE HAS WRITTEN SEVERAL

PAPERS ON LIGHT TRANSMISSION IN CRYSTAL LATTICES. IT IS NOT CLEAR

WHY THE NAZIS WANT HIM, BUT IT MUST BE CONNECTED WITH THE DIAMONDS

AND THE POWER PLANT. IF I AM CAPTURED AND I CAN GET A MESSAGE OUT I

WILL MOVE TO USING TRANSPOSITION CIPHERS AS THE NAZIS SEEM TO BE

DOING NOW. THEY ARE EASIER TO WRITE OUT QUICKLY. K.

MY DEAR LETZTER, I HAVE GOOD NEWS, THE AGENT KHOLI HAS BEEN CAPTURED

AND IS NOW BEING HELD AT THE HYDRO PLANT IN UTTAR PRADESH ALONGSIDE

THE AMERICAN PHYSICIST SALINEN. FOR NOW, SALINEN IS REFUSING TO

COOPERATE AND HE HAS SHOWN A TIRESOME DEGREE OF COURAGE. WE ARE

HOPING HOWEVER, THAT A RECENT DEVELOPMENT MAY COME TO OUR AID, THE

AGENT KNOWN AS CHARLIE HAS ARRIVED IN BOMBAY AND OUR AGENTS ARE

FOLLOWING HER MOVEMENTS. SHE APPEARS TO BE MAKING PLANS TO TRAVEL TO

SHIRAZ-I-HIND AND IF WE CAPTURE HER THERE WE MAY BE ABLE TO USE HER

TO PERSUADE SALINEN TO WORK WITH US. FEW OF OUR ENEMIES HAVE THE

MORAL COURAGE TO WATCH SOMEONE ELSE SUFFERING FOR THEM. OUR

PHYSICISTS TELL ME THAT THEIR INITIAL CALCULATIONS SUGGEST THAT THE

DEVICE SHOULD INDEED BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SUFFICIENT ENERGIES FOR

OUR PURPOSE, WITH SALINENS ASSISTANCE. WE ARE ON THE BRINK OF A NEW

DAWN WE ALONE WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE POWER OF THE SUN

HERE ON EARTH. THE REICH WILL BE AVENGED. H.F.

CHARLIE, NOT BEST PLEASED TO HEAR YOU ARE NOW WORKING ON THE INSIDE

AT THE POWER PLANT HOW DID KHOLI ARRANGE THAT FROM A CELL ANYWAY

HAVING YOU BOTH THERE IS A BIG PLUS FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF THIS

OPERATION AND I GUESS I CAN LIVE WITH IT YOU REALLY DO SEEM TO HAVE

INHERITED MORE THAN YOUR SHARE OF AUNT AGGIES SPIRIT I FOUND A

SUPPLIER FOR THE RDX WORKING ON THE FRINGES OF THE INDIAN MILITARY

AND HE HAS ARRANGED FOR A TRUCKLOAD TO BE DELIVERED TO THE POWER

PLANT IN THE GUISE OF INDUSTRIAL LUBRICANTS NOONE IS GOING TO STICK

THEIR HAND IN A BARREL OF OIL TO CHECK IT AND HE CLAIMS THEY CAN

WRAP THE RDX IN SOMETHING TO PROTECT IT I AM NOT SURE WHAT YOU HAVE

IN MIND HE TELLS ME THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE ASKED FOR COULD BRING DOWN A

SMALL MOUNTAIN BUT BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY MY CONTACTS IN THE US TELL

ME THE PHYSICISTS MENTIONED IN THE NAZI REPORT HAVE ALL BEEN WORKING

ON SOME SORT OF RAY BEAM LIKE IN THE MOVIES I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS

CAN BE TURNED INTO A SERIOUS WEAPON BUT WHETHER OR NOT IT CAN I AM

NOT HAPPY TO SEE AN ORGANISATION LIKE THIS ONE GET ANY TRACTION SO I

SAY WE SHOULD AIM TO WIPE IT OUT IN ONE BLOW I AM HOPING THATS WHAT

YOU HAVE IN MIND TOO MY MAIN WORRY I SHOW WE GET YOU KHOLI AND

SALINEN OUT OF THERE SAFELY DOES KHOLI HAVE ANY ONE ELSE HE NEEDS TO

PROTECT I LIKE THIS VIGENERE SYSTEM BUT MAYBE A KEYWORD OF LENGTH

SEVEN WOULD BE BETTER NEXT TIME ALL THE BEST HARRY

Report from Indian intelligence concerning overseas operatives in

Uttar Pradesh. Sources in Uttar Pradesh reporting heightened

activity among foreign nationals. Suspected Nazi infiltration of

regional power generation network and suspicious activity at the

hydro-electric plant. UK and American Embassy traffic increased

shortly after the arrival of suspected agents known as Charlie and

Harry and we placed them both under round the clock surveillance. We

have reason to believe they intend to disrupt the Nazi operation.

Our agents arranged to supply Harry with a large quantity of RDX

explosives and the shipment is being closely monitored by Indian

Special Forces. The RDX is not fitted with detonators so is largely

inert. The American physicist Trevor Salinen, who disappeared

recently is believed to be being held by the cult of the Koh I Noor

for reasons currently unknown to us Special Forces are standing by

to effect a rescue once this has been confirmed. We are monitoring

the traffic between CandH in the hope of clarifying the situation at

the power plant. Report Ends.

Harry, youll already have heard that the Nazi base blew up. The

news spread like wild fire and Im pretty sure you and your contacts

in the cult must have had something to do with that. In any case the

fuss over the damage to local farms was enough for Kholi to smuggle

us across the northern frontier unnoticed. There was a slight hitch

though, the fuses you provided were duds we were double crossed by

your source whoever that was, but it didnt matter Kholi and I

persuaded Salinen to pretend to cooperate with the Nazi sympathisers

in order to get access to a lab and we improvised some of our own

brand of detonators. We planted the barrels in the valve rooms

controlling the flow through the dam and blew just enough to take

out the labs. We had originally hoped to retrieve the stolen

American lab notes but the damage was so severe we have no way of

telling whether the papers were removed from the labs before hand or

not any way Kholi is confident that no one would have anticipated

the need to store them elsewhere and Im happy to trust his judgment

for now, but if you ever find anything. There is only one problem

remaining we took out a Nazi courier on the way back and intercepted

the enclosed communiqu I have no idea what it says it seems to be

encrypted using a stream cipher. He was carrying a deck of cards

wrapped in a scrap of paper with some words on it so I figure it is

encrypted using the solitaire cipher like the one die alchemisten

used back in the war. Aggie told me about that if I am right then

the order of the deck gives the key but unfortunately the cards and

the paper got a bit charred during the encounter, dont ask, and I

only managed to read the top half of the deck I laid them out and

took a picture and have attached it in the envelope marked any one

for cards, it seemed fitting. We have made our way back to London

and Salinen is currently being debriefed at the us embassy. Salinen

has an idea to use x-ray machines to try to see the print under the

fire damage on the rest of the playing cards, but we can only do

that a few at a time with the facilities we have here I will send

new pictures of the playing cards as we get them. Any way another

great mission, it will be good to get back to the kids, I promised

them a turkey this Christmas. Give me a call when you are next

around. Charlie

REPORT ON THE LOSS OF THE KOH I NOOR LIGHT BEAM WEAPONS FACILITY IN

UTTAR PRADESH THE LOSS OF THE KOH I NOOR LIGHT BEAM WEAPONS FACILITY

IN UTTAR PRADESH IS A MINOR DISRUPTION IN OUR PLANS TO RE-ESTABLISH

THE REICH INDEED GIVEN THE DEATHS OF THE IN COMPETENT LETZTER AND

HERZ FEUER IN THE INITIAL BLAST IT COULD BE SEEN AS A GOLDEN

OPPORTUNITY TO REFOCUS OUR AMBITIONS ON ALTERNATIVE WEAPONS SYSTEMS

WHICH OFFER GREATER POTENTIAL A PROPOSAL OF THIS KIND FORMS THE MAIN

AND FINAL RECOMMENDATION OF THIS REPORT THE DESTRUCTION OF THE

FACILITY APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED BY THE COMBINED EFFORTS OF

THE ENEMY AGENTS KNOWN AS KHOLI CHARLIE AND HARRY WE HAVE BEEN

UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THEIR BODIES IN THE WRECKAGE AS LOCAL

INVESTIGATORS HAVE HAMPERED OUR ACCESS TO THE SITE OUR PREVIOUS GOOD

RELATIONS WITH THE LOCAL OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY DAMAGED BY

THEIR BELIEF THAT WE ARE TO BLAME FOR THE ACCIDENT IT IS EXTREMELY

FORTUNATE THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONVINCE THEM THAT IT WAS INDEED

AN ACCIDENT IN RETROSPECT IT MAY HAVE BEEN AN ERROR IN OUR INITIAL

DEALINGS WITH THEM TO TRY TO CONVINCE THEM THAT THE INCIDENT WAS

CAUSED BY INADEQUATE WORK BY POOR LOCAL CONTRACTORS THE CONSIDERABLE

DAMAGE TO THE FACILITY AND SOMEWHAT LESSER DAMAGE TO LOCAL PROPERTY

P a g e | 26

WAS CAUSED BY THE DESTRUCTION OF CONTROL VALVES IN THE FACILITY THE

RESULTING FLOOD IN THE LABORATORY SECTION OF THE FACILITY DESTROYED

RECORDS AND EQUIPMENT BUT THE SOUND BAFFLES WE HAD BUILT CAUGHT MUCH

OF THE FLOW AND IT WAS DIRECTED INTO THE LOWER WATERS IN THIS WE

WERE LUCKY MANY OF OUR OWN AGENTS AND ALL OF THE LOCAL CITIZENS

ESCAPED DEATH ON THE OTHERHAND WITH MUCH OF THE FACILITY SURVIVING

WE HAVE HAD TO WORK HARD TO CONCEAL ITS TRUE NATURE FROM THE LOCALS

AND HAVING LOST THE SUPPORT OF THE CULT OF THE KOH I NOOR THIS HAS

BEEN AN EXPENSIVE TASK IT IS UNLIKELY THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO RE-

ESTABLISH A BASE IN THIS REGION OF MORE CONCERN WE NOTE THAT INDIAN

INTELLIGENCE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN TRACKING OUR ENEMIES AND THIS MAY

HAVE LED TO THEM INFILTRATING OUR OWN OPERATION HERE IN INDIA IT

WOULD BE PRUDENT TO MOVE OUR MAIN CENTRE OF OPERATIONS AND WE

BELIEVE THAT SOUTH AMERICA WOULD PROVIDE A MORE CONVENIENT LOCATION

THE LOSS OF THE LIGHT BEAM WEAPONS RESEARCH IS DISAPPOINTING THOUGH

IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS IS STILL AT A VERY EARLY STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT

AND WE DO NOT RECOMMEND FURTHER INVESTMENT AT THIS TIME WE BELIEVE

THAT IF SALINEN SURVIVED THEN HE WILL SURFACE AGAIN SHORTLY AND IT

WOULD BE BEST TO KEEP A WATCH ON HIS LABORATORIES WE MAY FIND A USE

FOR HIM OR HIS TECHNOLOGY WHO KNOWS WHAT THIS STRANGE LASER MAY DO

IN THE MEANTIME WE WOULD SUGGEST KEEPING AN EYE ON PROF SAMUEL COHEN

OF THE RAND CORPORATION HE IS BELIEVED TO BE WORKING ON THE EFFECTS

OF RADIATION AND MAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE MANHATTAN PROJECT IT

MAY BE TIME TO REVIVE DIE ALCHEMISTEN FOR THE HONOUR OF THE REICH
