Latest Mysteron Threat: To assassinate the world president

In the early 2060s, the majority of the World is run by the World Government, working from Unity City, Bermuda. Security is enforced by the World Army/Air-Force (W.A.A.F.), World Aquanaut Security Patrol (W.A.S.P.), the World Space Patrol (W.S.P.) and the Universal Secret Service (U.S.S.). But now there is now the need for an ultimate security task force, intent to keep peace on Earth, and relieve some pressure from all those specialised forces. For this reason, Spectrum was formulated, and a committee was formed to put together this new organisation, under the control of the World Government, and the watchful eye of the then current World President, Nikita Bandranaik.





As the basis to this new organization was taking shape, ideas for this new headquarters, which construction would be the first task at hand for the World Government, were formulated in complete secrecy. The headquarters had to be fully self-sufficient and fully operational, with the risk of failure cut down to the minimum. Construction and ultimate location had to remain secret, for security reasons. Many ideas came to the drawing board: a massive submarine craft that would travelled into the deep of the ocean; a floating island; a land-based complex in the Sahara Desert or the Amazon jungle, a space-station. All ideas were ruled out for diverse reasons – from being impracticable to security leakage. The last idea – that of the space-station, being rejected too, the committee amended it slightly, and the new headquarters would then become some kind of air-floating carrier, set at the brink of the Earth’s atmosphere, some 40,000 feet up, able to then change locations at will, to travel where it would be needed, and to have its interceptors in the air, ready for action, in a matter of minutes. The name of this headquarters for the new security organisation would be Cloudbase.
