Rex Donaldson?
gpt
Yes, sir.
human
I won't waste time on preliminaries, Donaldson. We've been discussing, here, some of the disconcerting rumors coming out of your section. Are you acquainted with this figure, El Hassan?
gpt
I have heard a good many stories and rumors.
human
Yes, of course. They have been filtering into this office for more than a year. But thus far little that could be considered concrete has developed.
gpt
Actually, we are still dealing with rumors, but they are beginning to shape up. Evidently, this El Hassan has finally begun to move.
human
Ahhh,
gpt
As we understand it, he wishes to cut across tribal, national and geographic divisions in all North Africa, wishes to unite the whole area from Sudan to the Mediterranean.
human
Yes, Donaldson nodded.
gpt
That seems to be his program.
human
It has been decided that the interests of Her Majesty's government and that of the Commonwealth hardly coincide with such an attempt at this time. It would lead to chaos.
gpt
Ahhh,
human
Your instructions, then, are to seek out this El Hassan and combat his efforts with whatever means you find necessary. We consider you one of our most competent operatives, Donaldson.
gpt
You mean that he is to be stopped at all cost?
human
You are given carte blanche, Donaldson. You and our other operatives in the Sahara and Sudan. Stop El Hassan.
gpt
You have just received my resignation, Sir Winton.
human
What ... what!
gpt
You heard me,
human
But ... but what are you going to do?
