The time is several years from now. Technology has advanced at a rapid pace. Electronic equipment is now smaller and lighter weight. The one exception is televisions, which are now bigger and better.

There have also been a number of social changes. The government has created a new monetary unit, called a credit. The government claimed this new type of money would solve our nation's inflationary problems. However, this new currency didn't stop inflation at all; it simply got several politicians elected.

The first official act of these new politicians was to create a government agency called Central Control. The Agency's purpose was to hire and train Special Agents. Those agents would then be assigned to work on missions of national importance.

That's where you come in. You were just hired as a Special Agent, and you have been assigned to work in the city of Marshallville. In the days ahead, you will be called upon to handle a wide variety of extremely dangerous missions.
