  "To search and recover that which is missing." -- W.C.C. 1972. The World Securities Corporation is a transnational firm insuring and protecting various treasures and institutions. They are also hired by governments and private citizens alike to track down everything from caches of diamonds to nuclear weapons. The most difficult and sensitive assignments fall to the W.C.C.'s supersecret branch: Programmed Retrieval Operations, referred to as "Probe." The agents of Probe rival those of the CIA or MI-5, and are equipped with unique devices that even real-life 21st-century spooks would envy.  Each field agent is outfitted with a miniature scanner disguised as a piece of jewelry, which can be magnetically attached to special cufflinks, tieclips, or pendants. This device continuously monitors the agent's progress, transmitting audio, video, and phyiscal telemetry to Probe Control. A team of specialists at Probe Control analyze the data, consult databases worldwide, and immediately provide information covertly to the field agent via a subcutaneous earpiece. The agent can respond to Probe Control either audibly or by tapping out code with a dental implant. |
