Part 2: The First Mission

008 arrived in Zurich late in the evening. She made her way from the airport through the bitter cold of December to her hotel in the middle of town, just near the river. She checked in with an alias.
"Your name please madame?" said the man at the front desk, looking bored.
"Alice Green" she replied.
He handed her the card key to her room and she made her way to the elevator. When she was finally inside her room, she dropped her luggage at the foot of her bed and peeled off her cold wet clothes, which had received a dusting of snow on the way in. She opened her handbag and rummaged around for her PDA and a a small black velvet sinch sack, which any other lady would have used as a change purse. She set her PDA on the bed and dumped the contents of the black sack out next to it. There were about a dozen little plastic chips of various colors. Sifting through them, she found the black and orange one, which was a Swiss sim card. She replaced the others and proceded to insert the the little card into her PDA.
The first thing she did was to check her email, and at the top of the list was a frantic message from her mother regarding a certain lamp in her hallway. She laughed and typed a quick response:
"Mother,
You're terribly gullible!
Love, me"
She filtered through some junk mail and messages from the organization. Her mission in Switzerland would be to study and report back on foreign policy strategy and the secretive financial system. The information would be used as a model in the effort to bring America back to a fully free-market capital system, starting with the banking and financial sectors, and to regain a neutral standing in its international relations. Her contacts in the organization had pull in Washington and would try to use their status to fight the recent uprising of various special interest groups that were creating excessive beauraucracy, draining the economy and choking out freedoms in the interest of "security" and "social welfare".
Exhausted from her flight, she resigned to the weight of her eyelids, undressed, and crawled into bed.
