JAMES POND II - ROBOCOD - HE'S MEAN, HE'S GREEN, HE'S PART MASHINE ------------------------------------------ - OCEANIC TIMES - MAYBE TAKES OVER TOY FACTORY AND HOLDS WORLD TO RANSOM. IN A NEW BID FOR WORLD DOMINATION, THE EVIL DOCTOR MAYBE HAS TAKEN OVER THE MAIN NORTH POLE BASED TOY FACTORY AND HAS SABOTAGED MANY OF THE TOYS DESTINED FOR HOMES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD THIS CHRISTMAS. AS YET,WE DO NOT KNOW HIS DEMANDS, BUT WORLD LEADERS ARE MEETING AS A MATTER OF URGENCY TO DISCUSS THE SITUATION IN AN AFFORT TO AVERT HIS TREACHEROUS THREATS. GOVERNMENT SPOKESMEN HAVE NOT BEEN AVAILABLE FOR COMMENT; HOWEVER, WE DO KNOW THAT THE PRIME MINISTER HAS CANCELLED ALL MEETINGS AND THIS MORNING LEFT FOR WASHINGTON WHERE IT IS BELIEVED HE WILL BE MEETING UP WITH THE PRESIDENT AND OTHER WORLD LEADERS. RUMOURS EMERGED FROM WHITEHALL LAST LIGHT THAT SECURITY SERVICES HAVE BEEN PUT ON ALERT AND THAT THE HIGHLY SECRETIVE SUCCESSFULL F.1.5.H UNDERWATER ESPIONAGE AGENCY HAS BEEN CONTACTED. DOCTOR MAYBE STRIKES DREAD IN THE HEARTS OF US ALL, BUT HAVING BEEN THWARTED IN THE PAST BY F.1.5.H, IT WAS BELIEVED THAT HE HAD GIVEN UP ALL HOPE OF FUTURE DASTARDLY ACTIVITIES. IT SEEMS, HOW EVER, THAT HIS EARLIER FAILURES HAVE MADE HIM MORE DETERMINED THAN EVER TO DOMINATE THE WORLD STAGE. PRESIDENT OF NORTH POLE TOYS INC., MR. S CLAUS, WHO NARROWLY ESCAPED FROM MAYBE'S ABLE CLUTCHES AND FIRST BROUGHT THE NEWS TO THE OCEANIC TIMES SAID LAST NIGHT... ' THIS IS TERRIBLE NEWS, OUR WHOLE YEAR'S SUPPLY WAS READY FOR DISPATCH WHEN WE WERE OVERWHELMED BY MAYBE AND HIS GANG. ' PRESSED FURTHER BY OUR TOP REPORTER LEWIS LEAN, CLAUS SAID THAT HE HAD LITTLE FAITH IN WORLD GOVERNMENTS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE ONLY WAY TO ENSURE WORLD SAFETY THIS XMAS WAS TO LET F.1.5.H DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM. LEWIS LEAN, THE ONLY KNOWN PERSON OUTSIDE OF WORLD LEADERS TO HAVE MADE CONTACT WITH F.1.5.H, SPECULATES THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO PUT THEIR TOP AGENT ONTO THE CASE, JAMES POND. HE HAS HAD DEALINGS WITH MAYBE BEFORE AND KNOWS HOW HIS EAGLE AND DASTARDLY MIND WORKS . HOWEVER, POND HAS BEEN OUT OF CIRCULATION FOR A WHILE SINCE LAST ENCOUNTER WITH MAYBE AND IS RUMOURED TO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A HIGHLY INTENSIVE TRAINING PROGRAMME. WE WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED ON ANY FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS. IN THE MEANTIME THE WORLD WAITES WITH BATED BREATH FOR MAYBE'S NEXT MOVE. IT SEEMS THAT OUR ONLY CHANCE NOW LIES IN THE CAPABLE FINS OF THE AQUATIC SUPER HERO, JAMES POND. WHEREVER YOU ARE POND, OUR HEARTS ARE WITH YOU. _______________________________________________________________________ | ____ ___ __ ___ ___ ___ __ ___ ____ | | _ / / / /__) /__ /_ / /__) /_ / _ | | / /__/ / ___/ /___ /___ / \ /___ / | | | | BRIEFING DOSSIER | | | | READ AND THEN DESTROY | | | | TO: JAMES POND | | CODENAME: ROBOCOD | | SECTION: OCEANIA 007 | | FROM: " F " | | SECTION: F.1.5.H HQ'S | | DATE: 23.12.91 | | | | | | POND: | | | | DOCTOR MAYBE IS BACK !
