Leave No Evidence
London
November 10, 1981
Quentin Travers toyed with the little scrap of paper he had just decoded. His brow was creased and his lips were set in a deep scowl. Cursing softly, he kicked at the side of his desk. Slowly he stood and walked to the fireplace. Hesitating for a moment he dropped the paper into the smoldering coals.
As the flames licked at the parchment, these words began to disappear:
Project has been interrupted. Subject turned feral. Destroyed lab and several operatives. Gone to ground. Subject has been linked to control and activated. Danger to control and local populace eminent. All possible attempts at recovery have proved fruitless. Leave no evidence to trace back to us intact and we will do the same.
We have found another test subject and will try again with a different form of control we have developed. Your participation is no longer necessary.
