1 to var ish chi our agents in the us have concluded their investigations and have determined that
2 there is indeed a saboteur working in the heart of the capitalist space agency security there has
3 tightened but they have been unable to discover who it is that is working to undermine their efforts
4 to colonise space no one in the kgb or gru is aware of anybody working directly for us who would or
5 could have carried out these attacks furthermore the risk of an escalation leading to all out war
6 means that brezhnev would never countenance or authorize such a mission even if we had the assets in
7 place to carry it out the memory of the confrontation over the missile base in kuba still burns and
8 the possibility of nuclear annihilation is too strong to justify this sort of action indeed the
9 politburo has determined that the race to space is better fought in near earth orbit where our own
10 technology has already proved itself to be superior the first satellite and the first manned space
11 flights were accomplished by our heroes at baikonur our american comrades may have thought us weak
12 when we moved our lunar orbiter to ensure the safety of their first lunar landing but this was an
13 entirely strategic move intended to build confidence between our two nations what will they do now
14 that that the first lunar landing has been accomplished more landing show many moon rocks can they
15 possibly need and what will it cost for them to bring them home every mission they launch risks
16 catastrophic failure and now it seems that one of their own is working to ensure the total
17 humiliation of the capitalist system meanwhile our goals are better met by striving to learn from
18 the americans cooperating where we must to ensure that we win where we can nasa administrators have
19 already made overtures to us concerning joint exploration and our plan is to build on the dryden
20 blag on ravo v agreement if we can coordinate a joint mission this should give us access to some of
21 the american technical and training materials while our own rocket systems are far more
22 sophisticated than theirs their reliance on the skill of their astronauts means that they have
23 learned far more about the limits of human endurance and performance than we have be enable to so
24 far it will take sometime to overcome the american distrust of our state and its agencies but as
25 long as they do not believe that we are behind the recent sabotage attempts then i think we will be
26 able to achieve this goal
