St. Claire takes the elevator back down to his interior office, and as the doors slide open he takes a few long strides to his desk. One final swig of his coffee later, and he sits back down to quickly review the files in front of him.
Silvio Berlusconi was able to quickly put together his 60th Italian government... but I don't know if he's going to make it to the end of his term.
As he flips the pages, they go all over how Prime Minister Berlusconi had been ousted from power via a vote of no-confidence, but was able to return to power at the request of the Italian President if he was able to put a new government together. His five-year term is due to end in May of 2006, and it was wondered whether he'd be allowed to finish his term. Looking over the pages he had in front of him... St. Claire realized there was more riding against the Prime Minister than perhaps he even knew. There was a lot to consider... and a number of things in Rome that were not sitting well with either him or the U.N. In two days time, once all his agents had cleared their plates... there was a job for them all to do.
He leans over and presses the intercom to Maria out front.
'Maria... I'm going home for the evening. Send out a memo to the group to let them know that we're having a meeting on Thursday in Auditorium A at 3pm to discuss what is happening in Rome with their government. Waves and above only. Thanks Maria! Have a good night.'
ESPION's levels of clearance are based on the famous Zenner cards used to test for ESP. Yes, St. Claire knows it's cheezy... but it's no different than using numbers, or letters, or code names, or any such nonsense the spy game is famous for in identifying agents or operations. The lowest clearance level is Circle, followed by Square, Cross, Wave and finally Star. Only two agents have Star clearance (of which St. Claire is one of them), and only eight agents have Wave (of which you four are included). So at the meeting on Thursday, ten people are expected to be there. By the time Thursday rolls around, Berlusconi will probably be back in power... but for how long will be the big question.
