>>>>>[I thought you might care to know that we have received over two
hundred
calls, and the analysts say the conditioning and implantation has succeeded
to a better degree than projected. Of the known subjects, the success
rate to date is 82%, slightly above predictions.

How are the security issues?]<<<<<

>>>>>[I am delighted by Manchu's success so far, Colonel. However, we
have another difficulty, one which perhaps should have been foreseen:
some subjects appear to have difficulty in fulfilling the compulsion,
either from incorrect recollection of the telephone number or an
inability to reach a telephone. This may draw attention to the Project,
at a time when its problems - notably Lynch - appeared to be under control.

I must also register my disquiet at the concessions offered to InterPol:
they seemed somewhat excessive.

Lynch appears to be effectively neutralised for now: he remains unaware of
the chips' true function, and does not seem to have any clear leads beyond
street level dealers. With your permission I intend to set an ambush for
him: he is still operating alone and unsupported.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Very well, Major. However, use only expendable assets. Do not involve
any of your staff, or yourself: remember your predecessor's fate in Denver
when she insisted on working close to the subject. Also, if you can operate
within the legalities, you will be to involve InterPol directly.

The price was high, Major, because Commander Drake himself has been assigned
to bring in Lynch. Do you, now, comprehend why the concessions were considered
worthwhile? Acquire some independents, bait your trap, and let InterPol be
its teeth: but concentrate upon your assigned mission.

I applaud your enthusiasm to apprehend or terminate this enemy of the State,
but you must accept that Lynch may escape: however, even then, we can let him
and InterPol attack each other, while we continue with our work.]<<<<<
