Hunting the Desert Fox and Meet Colonel Hargrove

**Hunting the Desert Fox** is the second mission in *Medal of Honor: Underground*. The mission is divided into four levels: Casablanca, Lighting the Torch, Burning Sands and Ally in the Desert.

## Background

In Casablanca, Manon is on the verge of being discovered by the Afrika Korps the hotel she is staying at. She makes her escape, fights her way through the town and sneaks into a supply truck to get into a secret Supply Depot. Inside the depot, Manon traps a Vichy propaganda photographer and impersonates her. This gives Manon sufficient access around the depot to do some espionage and notify the American Fleet the location of the depot. However once she does a lot of damage around the place, she faces tanks and Anti-Aircraft guns. At an airfield she is picked up by a pilot, whom Colonel Hargrove would reveal to be none other than James Patterson.

## Briefing

Good morning, Mademoiselle Batiste. My name is Colonel Hargrove. I'm from the Office of Strategic Services. I heard you've been looking for us. To be honest, we've been looking for you. We just didn't know it. Now I'm sorry to be crass, but while we've been aware of your brother Jacques for some time, we had never heard of Manon Batiste until you made contact with our station chief yesterday morning. We knew your brother occasionally worked with another resistance member. I'm just sorry to say that I assumed it was another man. It was wise to keep your identity a secret. I've seen several good operatives denounced by people they thought they could trust. With both your anonymity and your brother gone, you could've easily opted to return to a quiet civilian life. You could've even... collaborated. Turning over those papers you collected to the Gestapo would've earned you a lot of special privileges over the German authority. Instead, you committed yourself to a life on the run, away from everyone and everything you've ever known. From the looks of your G-2 debriefing, you and your brother found yourselves in some pretty hairy situations during the early days of the occupation, and it's exactly that kind of experience we need to employ if our intelligence operations are to stand a chance.

We're preparing to launch a major assault in North Africa very soon. Unfortunately, all the men we've sent out to do reconnaissance have their covers blown. Now, as serendipity would have it, we've learned that the Vichy propaganda magazine has sent a female correspondent all the way to Casablanca to profile the "brave men" of the Afrika Korps. We want you to intercept this woman and take her place. It should provide the ideal cover for getting in there and seeing what Rommel is up to. And if the opportunity presents itself, we want you to take action to disrupt his operations. If successful, your exfiltration would be by airplane, specifically on an old Northrop Alpha that's perfectly suited for this special kind of operation. The pilot is a lieutenant in the Air Transport Command who's been given strict orders not to even look at you, because we don't want to compromise your identity in any way. You'll be briefed of the rest of the specifics during your transit to the African continent.

It's a privilege for the OSS that you want to join our ranks. Be careful and good luck. I'll see you when you get back.
