AGENT ROTH<br />

The two are engaged and later<br />

married in New York, but she is<br />

found dead after <strong>the</strong> ceremony.<br />

SECRETARY OF DEFENSE<br />

Tough break.<br />

AGENT ROTH<br />

This may also have been <strong>the</strong> work of<br />

Hanoi Xan, but again, <strong>the</strong>re is no<br />

physical evidence to support this.<br />

She was buried with <strong>Banzai</strong>'s<br />

parents on <strong>the</strong> family plot near<br />

Austin, Texas.<br />

AGENT ROTH<br />

In 1972, at <strong>the</strong> age of 22, using<br />

his grandfa<strong>the</strong>r's fortune, <strong>Banzai</strong><br />

founds <strong>the</strong> <strong>Banzai</strong> Institute for<br />

Biomedical Engineering and<br />

Strategic Information in Holland<br />

Township, New Jersey to, and I<br />

quote "fulfill a need of <strong>the</strong><br />

scholarly community for greater<br />

continuity of research." In<br />

reality, it's a 112-acre fortress<br />

where he and his men carry out all<br />

sorts of unsanctioned experiments<br />

and covert activities without so<br />

much as a by-your-leave from <strong>the</strong><br />

United States Government.<br />

phrase "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum" (If you wish for peace,<br />

prepare for war.)<br />

AGENT ROTH<br />

Soon afterward, <strong>Banzai</strong> formed what<br />

is pretty much considered to be his<br />

own private army, called <strong>the</strong> Blue<br />

Blaze Irregulars. We estimate <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

number at roughly 25,000. Scattered<br />

all over <strong>the</strong> world, <strong>the</strong>ir devotion<br />

borders on fanaticism. They attend<br />

survival camps and engage in o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

paramilitary activities associated<br />

with <strong>the</strong> <strong>Banzai</strong> Institute under <strong>the</strong><br />

guise of public service. They have<br />

been known to help out <strong>the</strong> red<br />

cross during natural disasters, but<br />

we believe that this is just<br />

showboating for <strong>the</strong> press.<br />
