Howard Katt walks into an office boardroom. Inside are eight other agents. Agent Alpha, the undisputed leader, is watching from another room.

Agent Alpha: (dark, grim voice) Agent Gamma. Nice of you to join. We can finally start our area financial report. Agent Kappa.
Agent Kappa: (Russian accent) In exchange for return of son of Soviet premier, nine million rouble ransom has been received.
Agent Alpha: Agent Delta.
Agent Delta: (French accent) The payout for the recent robbery of the French National Bank was 12.71 million francs.
Agent Alpha: Agent Eta.
Agent Eta: (English accent) Participation in a large cub-trafficking cartel in the Philippines. 6.9 million pesos, collected by Agent Theta and myself.
Agent Alpha: 6.9? I was expecting a somewhat higher figure, Agent Eta.
Agent Eta: Competition from Thailand and Vietnam. Prices are down.
Agent Alpha: I anticipated that factor and all others. Are you positive that all amounts have been accounted for by the two of you?
Agent Eta: To the penny, Agent Alpha.
Agent Alpha: Quite the opposite. I have established that one of you has comitted a serious case of embezzlement. INERT is a dedicated fraternity whose strength lies in the absolute integrity of its members. I have identified the culprit, and am deciding on the appropriate action.

Agent Alpha has, in front of him, a control panel. Nine of the buttons have Greek lowercase letters Beta through Kappa embossed on them. Alpha presses the "Theta" button. Agent Theta catches fire. His chair tilts back and tosses him, returning smoking and empty.
