Agent Fresh swiftly polished off his plate of Grilled Flounder and Pomeranian potatoes; in a creamy pepper sauce, and smacked his chops. War; it seemed, was not only unavoidable in Europe - but apparently in full swing. He took another swig from the bottle of Mosel, to wash the fine repast down, and turned swiftly to his report:

****MESSAGE ENDS****
Agent Fresh lit a match to the butt of his last Sobranie and prepared to pack his gear and head to the station. If he was lucky, a swift absinthe, and a schuss down from Verbier in the Valais, were waiting for him, back at H.Q.....
...if he was lucky.
