I'll have the police station information in our dead drop behind the bushes in Morevi Square.' I'm sure it'll be there, Tom's a trustworthy type. If I can safely make the drop, I may leave you a toy or two. Walk softly. -David T. *Data stick(2): From: William Robert Blaustein TO: Jonathan Sutton Sent: 14/10/2004 05:32 Subject: RE:Madison Mr. Sutton, I think we can stop dancing around the words 'Agent Madison is dead.' Our only real question now is why, or more importantly why Nikoladze thought he could hide it from us. Your theory about her disappearance as a way to keep secret the connections between Georgian politics and the Russian Mafia works, but it's too easy. It wouldn't justify murdering a U.S. agent. And Nikoladze knows we know how dirty he is. I think I'm being followed, though it's hard to seperate paranoia from reason in this part of the world. I suggest we start swapping digital signatures more often, maybe twice a week. Forward Gurgenidze this keypadcode for the back door: 091772 Say happy birthday to Kaye for me. Hopefully I'll be back in VA for the next one. - B.B. Blaustein *Data stick(3): From: Philip Masse To: Tristan Gogoberidze Sent:15/10/2004 12:14 Subject: RE: cut rate third world flophouse Go go Gadget Beridze It's a pain in my ass to leave my work for half a week to have some hush-hush pow-wow with Nick and U.G., but it's an INSULT to have to deal with morons like the concierge at this dump you guys put me up in. I'm serious, I don't want t see his face again I need to get back out to the rig and back to my work. Especially in the middle of our you-know-what out in you-know-where. Idle hands are the Great Satan's playground. - pHilip MAsSE *Data stick(4): From: Officer Beso Cheishvili To: Officer Givi Kausadze Sent: 11/10/2004 10:34 Subject: RE: Evidence???? Givi, I know you're new here so I'm not going to have your thumbs broken. Don't question Lortkipanidze, not if you want to keep your job and your breathing priveleges. Let's have a drink tonight, I'll explain some things to you. -Beso- *Data stick(5): From: Dr Slava Konipodze To: Sgt Ramaz Lortkipanidze Sent: 12/10/2004 09:13 Subject: Morgue Security Cameras Sergeant, While I appreciate your newfound zeal in securing the station. I wonder at the need for a surveillance camera in the morgue. In my near forty years as a medical examiner, I have never once seen a Cadaver commit a crime. I am certain that there are other places in this very building where security cameras might do a much better job of spotting criminals. I am not speaking of the holding cells either. Why, just last week I tagged some poor soul whose skull had been caved in by an object distinctly similiar to the batons issued to our officers. Had there been security cameras in the research lab instead of the morgue itself, we might have caught the party responsible for destroying the evidence in that case. Dr S. Konipodze M.E. PhD. *Data stick(6): From: Kakhi Berikashvili To: Office Beso Cheishvili Sent: 16/10/2004 17:56 Subject: Crowd Control Gentlemen, You'll all be heading crowd control teams at next Friday's political rally in Morevi Square. Nikoladze's people have warned me that the President plans to make some extremely inflammatory statements. He's getting the people riled up. Get ready for some big news in the next couple of weeks. Chkhilkvadze, let's not be so free and easy with the teargas. We want the people angry, not revolutionary. Keep it to batons. Captain Berikashvili *Data stick(7): From: Officer Beso Cheishvili TO: Sgt Ramaz Lortkipanidze Sent: 15/10/2004 23:53 Subject: Three in traction Lortkipanidze Sir, I just returned from the hospital, where about two and three-quarters men remain in critical condition. The beat cop taking statements from the doctors had a picture-perfect description of the men's attackers: your friend Grinko and some ogre named Nikolai. You may want to put in a call to the commisioner over at the Eastern Precinct if you want to keep your friends from drawing more attention than they need right now. -Beso- *Data stick(8): From: Sgt Ramaz Lortkipanidze To: Officer Gizo Giorgobiani Sent: 15/10/2004 04:36 Subject: Resisting Arrest Gizo, I need you to stop by and pick up the concierge at the Hotel Begurebi for questioning. Make up whatever charges you see fit, something he won't be inclined to talk about. Once you get him back to the station have him resist arrest and break something painful. It's a favor for a very influential friend. Do it well and we'll both be a little richer for it. R.

Murman Kobulia Sent: 15/10/2004 14:32 Subject: RE: Laser Grid Concern Murman, The solution to not tripping the laser grid is staying out of the damn courtyard. Period. But, just for the sake of argument, I guess the correctly calibrated thermal optics would enable one to see lasers. But please, don't try anything that's going to get us in trouble. - GKY *121_05/05: Philip Masse photograph *121_04/05: SUBJECT:Case File UPLOADED:16/10/04 SOURCE:Grimsdottir FULL NAME:Philip Frankel Masse AKA:crYSTaL*NinJA, Cerbere, Marvin Kurzweil BOB:21/08/72 CITIZENSHIP:Canadian AO:Georgia ASSPCIATIONS:GFO Inc.

Ramaz Lortkipanidze Sent: 15/10/2004 08:03 Subject: Gentlemen, President Nikoladze has personally requested that I impress on you the importance of our guests, the Canadian Philip Masse and Vyacheslav Grinko, who many of you are already familiar with on less than pleasant terms. Since Grinko has come under President Nikoladze's official employment, his many crimes in Georgia have been pardoned, and he is to be treated with the utmost respect I likewise ask for your patience with Mr. Masse They are both key figures in the President's current operations, and security for the next 24 hours should be at its highest state. Please impress this on the men in your charge. Respectfully, Colonel Murman Kobiashvili *Data stick(3): From: Georgi Katin-Yartsev To: Pavel Druzhnikov Sent: 15/10/2004 14:32 Subject: Courtyard grid Pavel, Let all your men know that the laser grid in the courtyard is active. I don't want any false alarms caused by this grid, it triggers simultaneous alarms at five seperate police and military stations nearby. Explaining a false alarm is a headache niether of us need. If you absolutely need to go in the courtyard, you can disable the grid from the security terminal in the Main Hall of the South Wing but you better have a good reason. - GKY *Data stick(4): From: Col. Ramaz Lortkipanidze To: Clive Alimov Sent: 14/10/2004 21:02 Subject: Not a gazebo Mr. Alimov This is my second request that you tear down the ornamental latticework lining the courtyard. The wisteria has become thick enough that I'm afraid it could support the weight of a human being, and so represents a very real security threat to the ministry. Please respond, letting me know when those lattices will come down! Thank you. Colonel Lortkipanidze *Data stick(5): From: Vyacheslav Grinko To: Philip Masse Sent: 15/10/2004 11:46 Subject: RE: some covenant? Philip, I cannot believe, considering your position relative to both Nikoladze and the CIA, that you have no knowledge of anything called the Ark. You don't want to know what it would take to convince me of your honesty. We are playing a dangerous game of chess, and cannot afford to have gray pieces on the board. I have a sneaking suspicion that this 'Ark' is our queen piece. Nikoladze will tell me about it sooner or later; God help you if he tells me you knew about it and didn't inform me. I need to know more than Nikoladze thinks I do, so that I may protect him from even his own ambitions. VG. *Data stick(6): From: Kombayn Nikoladze To: Philip Masse; Vyacheslav Grinko Sent: 13/10/2004 18:45 Subject: Acceleration I laud you both for how efficiently you have uncovered and solved our CIA situation. This incident is a great cause for concern; I hate to think what the outcome could have been had we not had our 'little birdie' in Langley. I am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that we must move our Azeri operation forward. The disappearance of the two American agents will certainly raise some eyebrows. We must begin before coming under the attention of our neighbors. Our potential oil relationship with the Americans will keep them from interfering, but only if the scale is already too far tilted in our favor. Both of you should begin preliminary steps towards our initial countermeasures in case the Americans discover us. Let us keep our glass dagger sharp. We'll meet this saturday (the 16th) in my office at dawn. Make it 4:30, Masse, I'll arrange for a helicopter to pick you up from the rig. KN *Data stick(7): From: Vyacheslav Grinko To: Kombayn Nikoladze Sent: 15/10/2004 10:12 Subject: RE: Glass Dagger President Nikoladze, You can be certain that our glass dagger will shatter as intended if attacked. Our army, broken into smaller units, will only become sharper and further scattered. My contacts have scouted and secured areas of operation for our splintered army to occupy. We will have a free hand in much of Northern Russia, the orient, and possibly even the United States. However, I do not believe that it will come to this. Our plans are too well laid, and our enemies asleep at their posts. My only worry is your dependence on Masse and his technology. I have trouble trusting so obvious a coward. But the vision is yours, and I believe in it. VG Mission 4_ [oilrig] *Data stick: From: Sergo Shengelaya To: Guram Tkeshelashvili Sent: 27/10/2004 03:18 Subject: Hey Guram, You at your semi-permanent posting yet? My platoon finally got off the school buses two hours ago in Belarus and rendezvoused with another platoon that came via cargo plane; we're all heading East but we haven't been told where yet. When I get there I'll shoot you another mail. This is so unlike the military we knew when we joined. We're in incredible shape, lean, decentralized, efficient. We're acting more like a business than an army. Colonel Alekseevich explained to a group of us that we could win this by allowing the Americans to 'surrender aggresively.' Any idea what that means? I'll write again soon. Sergo *133_04/0: DESCRIPTION: Following is a transcription of a fragment of a radio message intercepted by an SR-71 pilot and an AWACS control aircraft over the Caspian Sea.

They're outfitted for winter operations and morale is high. As requested, I've got tech people scouring for microwave relays and they've come up with many, many options. Communications should not pose a problem. Respectfully, Colonel Amiran Urushadze *133_05/05: Industrial Water Pump picture Industrial Water Pump Manufacturer: Yutani Systems, Inc. CAUTION: Damage to cylinder shell can cause massive leakage *Data stick(3): From: Piotr Lejava To: Philip Masse Sent: 26/10/2004 22:49 Subject: RE:THEN GET ANOTHER JOB Mr. Masse, Don't get me wrong, I'm perfectly willing to try tapping little bird for Ark intelligence, but I don't think it'll do any good without the key. I'll get whatever I can, but I really think Nikoladze will need men inside the Presidential Palace, which is obviuosly impossible considering the current state of affairs. But I will do my best, and whatever is possible to retrieve from the oilrig, I'll get it.

Apparently you were right, the turret is sensitive to both heat and motion. We're having trouble identifying the software, but there is definitely a very effective IFF recognition system at work in this thing. Anyone not preprogrammed as a friendly will be fired upon if in range. Disabling the IFF system simply makes it fire on anyone...friendly or not. A week ago I wouldn't have believed anything this advanced would exist anywhere close to that region. A dangerous time to be underestimating our enemies. S.A.

Edik *Data stick(3): From: Edik To: Ruslan Sent: 23/10/2004 16:23 Subject: Wall Mines Ruslan, Pavel says he briefed you on the wall mines. But I want to make sure you understand. They are EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. Do not think that they are a toy. The mines detect motion by emitting an infrared pulse every half second. If you move too quickly during that pulse, YOU'RE DEAD, RUSLAN. When you place the mine on a wall, it will self-activate. It will beep rapidly for one second and then emit a solid tone for a second more. After that, it's LIVE and DANGEROUS. So set the mine and move back quickly. If you need to move a mine, APPROACH IT SLOWLY. And only try to grab it when the GREEN LIGHT IS ON. This is important, GRAB THE MINE WHEN THE GREEN LIGHT IS ON. You will know you screwed up if the light starts blinking faster. When that happens, RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN. Be careful Ruslan, I worry about you.

Your message suggested it would be high on the CIA's list of threats to national security, but this does not appear to be the case. We will keep monitoring Dougherty's PC and hope for the best. I feel strongly that we should not attempt to insert another 'peep hole' into Langley's data stream. I do not think we will be presented with another oppurtunity as advantageous as Dougherty.

The Georgian information offensive was not nearly as decentralized as they claimed. It appears that the second most important of the hydra's heads has been severed. There are even rumors that Philip Masse has been killed. Apparently a troop of American commandos (the estimation runs between 10 and 80) played hell with the Georgian's men on the Kola Peninsula. In my opinion, the Georgian Information Crisis is over. Which is not all to say that Kombayn Nikoladze is any less dangerous a man. If he is able to use the Ark as he intends, the game could still be his. Between the Ark and our own initiatives, I have every confidence that we will shake the globe.

                Sir,
   
                The Chinese ambassadors keep talking to each
                other in Chinese. This probably isn't surprising, but
                it makes me worry since we can't understand them.
                I'm afraid they might be plotting something. Grinko
                has tried to force Long Dan to translate for us, but
                so far nothing has worked (and he has done some
                things I will not soon forget.)

                I was wondering, sir, if we could 'borrow' one of
                General Feirong's troops for the duration of our
                stay here, to watch over the ambassadors and
                translate for us if needed. Thank you.

                If your men need to beat the Americans, they must
                confine themselves to body blows. We are less
                than twenty-four hours from their appearance on
                world media, and they need to be pretty for the
                cameras. Their deaths will be viewed and re-viewed
                for decades to come; it must not be seen at all as
                an end to their suffering. Bloodied and bruised
                faces do not very well show fear. Let nobody
                mistake what we do for pity. Further damage to the
                Americans' faces will not be tolerated.

            03/01/01
            Cristavi secures a position as Minister on
            Nikoladze's Cabinet, representing the district of
            Marneulis.
 
            12/09/01 - PRESENT
            Cristavi sells information regarding Nikoladze's oil
            policies to CIA Agent Tanahill. Information drops
            continue irregularly, at a frequency of two-to-ten
            weeks.

            20/10/04
            After two days of near-anarchy in the Georgian
            government, Cristavi assumes power, promising to
            hold elections within a month.

                We're keeping this quiet, so be careful with this
                information. Yes, Cristavi has arranged to allow
                Nikoladze into the Presidential Palace. It will happen
                tonight shortly after midnight. Nikoladze is giving
                Cristavi a sizeable sum of money, along with some
                near-priceless oil drilling data from the Caspian, in
                exchange for Cristavi letting Nikoladze retrieve
                'the Ark' from the palace unmolested.

                Nikoladze claimed that the Ark is a 'dirty bomb,' but
                Cristavi has learned different. I'm betting he won't
                let Nikoladze walk out of the palace with the Ark in
                hand. Hard to say. My advice: keep your head low
                around midnight tonight.

                T'Bilisi police force, especially nos. 4 and 12.
                -No intelligence available on this 'Ark' you speak of.
                Cristavi feels, and I agree, that the Ark is a rumor.

                Please know that we appreciate our relationship
                with the Agency, and are eager to help in any way
                possible.

*511_03/03: DESCRIPTION:
            Cristavi's men interrogated one of Nikoladze's
            colonels for information on the Ark. The 8-hour
            ordeal was videotaped and transcribed. I've pulled
            the most relevant bits from the resulting 
            document.

                I just got the final 'go' for tonight's operation. We
                are to allow Nikoladze and his men complete access
                to all areas of the palace until we recieve the radio
                signal. At that moment all of Nikoladze's guards
                should be disarmed, those who refuse should be
                killed. If possible, we should take Nikoladze alive.
