Mission:  Friend
Mission Date:  0-97
Mission Summary:

(1)  Capture Hans Korda -- genetic engineer, who created designer
      viruses stolen in Zurich.  Viruses designed to attack specific ethnic
      groups.

(2)   Plant audio-surveillance in phone of Businessman Wm. Glasser, who
      planned on selling viruses to highest bidder, in order to trace lab where
      viruses are being held.

(3)  Destroy above lab

Secondary Mission:

Michael was given the side mission of testing the mental stability of Asian sector profiler, Andrea Karsov

Mission Anomalies: 

(1)  First mission to capture Korda went critical in first ten minutes due to
      faulty profile design (perimeter left unsecured for 30 seconds), deemed
      unacceptable by Michael.

(2)  Profiler attempted to kill Michael by deactivating the fail-safe
      mechanism during the mission to destroy the lab.

Adversaries:  Hans Korda, William Glasser

Team Members:  Andrea Karsov, Section One Profiler

Mission End Game:

Hans Korda captured.  He gave up William Glasser.  Genetic lab was destroyed.  Andrea Karsov canceled.

 


 
Psychological impact:

Nikita:
 
Nikita was forced in this mission to watch Michael seduce another operative.  While she did not know that this seduction was a private mission which Michael had been given, she did seem to realize that ‘something' was going on. Basically, Nikita was able to function even though Michael began his seduction of Andrea right in front of her.  Her quick action saved Michael's life in the genetic lab.  It did not look as if Nikita had made up her mind to report Andrea's attempt on Michael's life, when she was told by Operations that Andrea had already been canceled.

Flaws:  Nikita allowed her focus to lapse during the mission to bug Glasser's phone.   Cammview tapes show her focusing on Michael and Andrea dancing for those three seconds.

Michael:
 
Michael's execution of both the primary and ‘secondary' missions was flawless.  Michael's abilities in seduction are legendary in S1.  The mission to seduce the initially reluctant Karsov (in order to summarily dump her) was achieved with little obvious effort on his part.

Michael and Nikita's Bond:
 
Through surveillance, Nikita was heard defending Michael to Andrea.  Andrea referred to the "relationship" between Michael and Nikita while she and Michael were in bed.  Is this one of those situations where the Section is the last to know? Nikita was seen to warn Michael that Andrea was dangerous.

Recommendations:
 
Continue observation.  This pair gives little evidence to the overt observer, but because of continued rumors and speculations abounding in S1, it is recommended that covert surveillance be maintained at all times.  This profiler bases this on the old observation, "Where there is smoke, there is fire."
