As a long-time member of the White Rose, you are quite used to the cryptic messages and letters alerting to travel to locales of danger and evil. However, this time, you receive a different sort of calling.
Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, you are greeted an impeccably dressed member of the White Rose. The young man or woman uses the proper code phrase and immediate explains the situation to you.
“I’m sorry,” says your escort. “I know this is terribly irregular, but something of dire urgency has come up. A situation of the utmost importance has arrived. I am to convey this letter to you, along with this package. Please understand that I do not know the contents of the letter, the package, or the nature of your mission. I merely know that I have to escort to you Athens, Greece where you are to meet with others on a boat.”
“I do not know where the boat is going. Only what the name of the boat is, what dock it will be at, and when it is departing. Understand that I have not come alone. There are five other guards. We have been informed to protect you with our lives. All of us intend to do just that. Unfortunately, after we reach Athens, my friends and I will be leaving you.”
