Introduction

This is an adventure divided into four chapters within two volumes, Operation Safras and Pettigrew's Diary, which are on two separate tapes. Each chapter is an adventure in its own right and is loaded separately. You may only progress to Chapter 2 when Chapter 1 has been completed and likewise with Chapter 3 and Chapter 4. All four chapters are linked by the mysterious Safras Sword and the ubiquitous Diary, and many skills and talents are needed to finish the complete adventure.
