You are OSS Agent Code Named Carr Phillips. You were an Flying Tiger during the fall of Burma and now work for the OSS Station Chief in Cagliari, Sardinia. Whos current job it is to learn of any unknown threats to the upcoming Invasions of mainland Italy. The OSS Station House, in Cagliari reports to the Station Chief of OSS MTO Command in Algiers, Algeria. Whos job it is to over see OSS Operations in the Medditerranian Theater of Operations.

You are currently sitting on the veranda of a cafe in Alghero a small fishing village on the northern coast of Sardinia when a young well dressed Sardinian pedaled up to you on a bicycle and handed you a note that read as follows:

Tuesday, August 10th, 1943
Alghero, Sardinia

TOP SECRET

EYES ONLY Mr. Carr Phillips

DUPLICATION FORBIDDEN ORIGINAL TO BE DESTROYED AFTER ENCRYPTION AND TRANSMITTAL TO Mr. Phillips.

From: OSS Station Chief Italy, Cagliari, Sardinia...

Dear Mr. Phillips:
You have been chosen to be team leader of a new assignment code named MacGregor Mission. At 0400 hours, on the 11th day of August 1943 you are to report to Alghero Harbor where you will be picked up, and fly with a PBY crew to the Island of Margherita. The island is occupied by an OSS coasthingycher team. There the PBY will land and taxi to a Submarine named the USS Greenling in Margherita Harbor. The crew of the PBY will be picking up one of our OSS agents from by rubber raft that the USS Greenling picked up off the coast of southern France...

Afterwards the PBY will fly northwest around Napoli's fighter parameter at Pescatori Island, and turn north to land on the coast at an Italian fishing village named Rapallo. There you will paddle ashore from the PBY in a rubber boat with four agents and two radios, where you will make contact with several members of ORI, the Italian Resistance...

These contacts claims to have a hidden airstrip the locals used for smuggling before the war. You will see to this airstrip, set up a safe house and radio contact with Sardinia, and then determine if this alleged airstrip can be put to use. You will be working with some ruthless customers so watch yourself. As you know when El Duce created OVRA, the Italian Secret Police he had them go after any groups thought to be a threat to fascism in Italy. Number one of that list was the Mafia. Most of the ORI contacts you meet will be members of Murder Inc., much as Sicily was.

Looks like the vacation is over, Good Luck!
Major Harold Drumbee,
OSS Station Chief Italy
