Today marks the beginning of the end.

I met with Colonel Kravchenko to discuss the Projekt Endstation film reels. I told him I recently found them gathering dust in a restricted portion of sub-basement records storage.

There is some truth to that statement. It is indeed where I found the recordings – a decade ago. When I first came to the KGB, my Father told me that was where I would find them. I just need the right opportunity to present them.

There is a rumor that Special Operations Group Omega is to be dismantled. Kravchenko has been given a difficult task: finding an appropriate response to the United States’ Strategic Defense Initiative. He believes he is being made a scapegoat.

It was in this context I suggested that Omega Group pursue Projekt Endstation. It was a gamble – the Colonel could easily have dismissed it. But I saw the look in his eyes. He saw opportunity. A chance to demonstrate he was nobody’s puppet.

I have been given authorization to begin the operation. Our time is finally coming, Father.
