September 1941 - Rome
The world is at war. In the middle of the Second World War, the United States, declared neutral, provides France and Great Britain with weapons thanks to the recently created Cash and Carry law. Despite being neutral, acknowledging the threat represented by Nazi Germany, it has significantly increased espionage missions throughout Europe.
You are an agent of the SIM (Servizio Informazioni Militari). Despite your efforts to avoid Italy entering the war, your boss, Cesare Ame, asks you to spy on the Americans to obtain their secrets and gain tactical advantage over the Allies.
As a trained intelligence agent, you have your eye on the spies who are conspiring in your country and you know that the American embassy in Rome has been in turmoil lately. You suspect they have a coding system to send the information to the US.
Obtaining the American secrets could help your country and the Axis win the war, or at least shorten it and avoid millions of deaths.

BackMission: Get the secret codes
We suspect that Bonner Frank Fellers, the US military attaché in Cairo, is a spy who collaborates with the British and regularly sends information back to his country. He makes continuous trips to Rome and has an office in the American embassy.
Bonner Frank Fellers
We have noticed a lot of communications originating from the embassy so we are sure that Fellers may have the codes in his office. From there, they might be feeding messages of vital importance for the war.
Your mission is to break into the American Embassy in Rome, access Fellers' office and obtain the manuscript with the codes that will help us decode the messages he sends to the United States.

The player will be helped by the information indicating the context and the next steps to be taken, as well as by other documents and images that will be provided or found during the game.
