RCA Teletype/visual-data terminal interface Welcome to "Operation Marathon" As of this morning the Allied forces have begun their attack on Normandy. Hopefully this fight will keep the Nazis distracted long enough to allow you to complete your mission in Cherbourg. If you fail, D-Day will have failed. Why is Operation Marathon so important? Atomic fusion has been developed by the Nazis in the form of a plasma pistol. The secrets of this device must be stolen by you and utilized by the Allied nations before the Axis powers can develop a fusion style "hydrogen bomb" based on the scientific principles behind this new and deadly force. The O.S.S. has hand picked you and your men for the job of retrieving this unique weapon.
RCA Teletype/visual-data terminal interface You are to be parachuted, with your small band of elite militia, into the outskirts of the Port of Cherbourg to gain access to the only possible entry into the laboratory that produced the fusion pistol. The pistol and all its ammunition is well hidden, but our sources insist that the fusion pistol itself is to be found before you exit the lab. If you do not have it do not jump from the rear exit of the lab. When you have accomplished your mission you will rendezvous at a secret room near the destroyed bridge. You MUST retrieve this object. You will be sent back until you find it...
