All I’ve ever wanted to do in this life is to bear children to fight for the fatherland. But this, Himmel tells me, is a privilege that must be earned.

So, for now, I am assigned to the Society for the Promotion of Intercultural Exchange of Scholarship. Our mission; penetrate this great but, thankfully, sleeping democracy and silence Zionist elements that oppose lebensraum. Our covers as musical performers let us travel widely without raising suspicion.

A matter of interest is the Scacht Plan that would let Zionists ransom their brethren in the Third Reich. They seek the pendant known as the Bete Noire to fund this project, making it useful as bait. Himmel has arranged for our ally, Alberto DiSibio, to give me the pendant in a public place. We’ve tipped the local paper where he’ll be; a club called The Topaz. A reporter will attend.

DiSibio will not like the exposure. But in exchange for things he doesn’t like, we give him things he does. Including access to my perfect Aryan body.
