look, kuryakin, cut out the cracks. robert kingsley has disappeared. kingsley used to be a field operative. hehesed to be in the field like you. now he's number four man here in hong kong. every scrap of information we e ther passes through his hands, and he's vanished. any documents go with him? wewere checking, solo. what did you find? sir, a capsule. it gave off kind of a vapor. what are you talking about? are you all right? yes, sir, i am now, but... we just stood there, the secretary and i, after we took a sniff of that stuff, and it was the strangest... what's strange? what are you talking about? mr. grant, for about a minute, e, conscious, perfectly all right, except it was like waiting for someone to tell us what we should do. then it wore off, and i came here to repopo to you. show me this capsule. i wish i could, sir, but it evaporated. that's right, sir. did it leaea any residue? we'll check that out. that's your assignment. robert kingsley. -mrs. kingsley? -yes? we're from uncle, and we'd like to have a word with you about... what happened? is it robert? uh... come in. thanks, thank yoyo well, please tell me, what is it? mrs. kingsley, your husband has disappeared. it can't be. mrs. kingsley. i don't believe it. there must be some mistake. i'm afraid not. now, if you have any idea, any information at all where... but you people know far more about robert than i do. i only happen to be married to him. uncle is his way of life. i understand how you must feel, but... he has a desk job now, how can he disappear? mrs.s.ingsley, can you recall anything that he did, anything that he said, -that could help us? -how? he never discussed his work with me, he wasn't supposed to, you know that. he seemed happy and content. how can i help you? you always ask the wives, the last people who'd know anything about the real lives of men like robert. did he ever say anything about a capsule that we found at his desk? no. no, nothing. mrs. kingsley. yes? seven, seven, seven. over and over, i don't understand. what does it mean? solo here. another disappearance, mr. solo. dr. kurt erikson of berlin, presumably with kingsley. mr. kikisley? i am dr. erikson. dr. eriksoso doctor, i'm honored by your presence here, and your collaboration. thank you. sit down, doctor. mr. kingsley, this is an historic moment, ironically so, for history, as the world knows, it will soon end.d. to look at this. the world's future on a scrap of paper. we can change mankind's personality, mold it to any shape we want, steer it in any direction with this. and we will. oh, excuse me, dr. erikson, your daughter. you said you wanted to bring your daughter .th you. have we e pt her waiting outside?

why not ask mrs. kingsley? she knows her husband. i have already stated my position. besides, i need not remind you that mrs. kingsley is doing her part. thanks to her, thrush is in on a scheme which will give it control of the world forever, and i see no reason to burden her with additional problems. why not let mrs. kingsley speak for herself?

you cocoitted an act of piracy. i have a right to defend my ship against pirates. who are these men, captain? anne erikson? and the only mr. kingsley i k kw of is an english lyric poet long since dead. then why are you on this ship? the only fact worth a penny-worth of cold gin is you're aboard my ship unlawfully, uncle or no uncle. you are from uncle? uncle, and so was kingsley. don't believe you. i don't either, fraulein. a couple of born liars if i ever saw them. now, don't you worry your pretty little head. why don't you pop off and play some shuffleboard or something?
