there was more likelihood of his being presented with that sort of sycophancy than there

“Who the hell’s this and what the god-damn hell’s goin’ on?”
“Sir, we tried to explain to him that these meetings are super-secret,” explained
John Foster Dulles, the Secretary of State. “Hell, most of the time we don’t even know
we’re having them ourselves, when we’re having them; that’s how secret they are.”
Ike mulled Dulles’ remark over a couple of seconds before muttering “Right
about that,” so that the entire assemblage could hear. Then he turned and addressed his

“Jeeziz God!” exclaimed Ike. “You brought a known Soviet Spy here?”
“It’s okay, General,” interrupted the secretary. “She doesn’t understand English,”
he explained. The secretary turned and addressed the woman: “Svetlana! You
understand English?”
Ike exhaled, saying “Oh jeeziz!” Clearly, the agent understood enough English to
respond that she didn’t. Eisenhower recovered some and continued: “Let’s just get this

While Ike reached for the paper, the CIA Director added clarification concerning

He was right about that. Either way, there were an hellacious amount of variables
to consider. If the intercept was not intended by the Soviets, and should the message be
decipherable, ought the intelligence be acted upon, or would the security of American be
better served by allowing to transpire whatever might be planned by its Cold War
adversary? And if the U.S. was intended to intercept the message, was it deliberate
misinformation or something true that the Soviets really did want America to know

fingers to spread the fleshy part of her anterior vulva, so that her clitoris was exposed.

between thumb- and finger-tips of both hands and began tugging at her labia in up-and-

Ike, loosening his own tie and pulling it through his collar. “Use this to tie her hands.

session had transpired across the continent in California, immediately before P.I.S.S.’s
morning meeting. A young musician, Russ Basgadarian, had sat alone on a beach west of
Fresno, in the wee hours of the morning. About half an hour earlier he’d ingested some
pills that somebody named Kevin had given him. Kevin said he was in the writing
program at Stanford. Or maybe his name was Ken. Russ had met Kevin (or Ken) briefly
at a party in San Francisco, a few days earlier. Kevin-Ken had promised Russ that all
sorts of things would become clearer to you, when the pills took effect. They had been
stolen, Keven-Ken said, from a cache maintained by the US DOD, the Department of
Defense.
hours” were called that because this was the time of day that people interrupted their
slumber to stumble one-by-one in and out their bathrooms, taking their leaks. Russ began
turning it over and over in his mind, how it was he’d never before happened upon such an
apparent explanation (after all, it had been staring him in the face for years), but he soon
found himself detoured in his ruminations, caught up in the mesmerizing rhythm of the
slow sound of the surf, upon which was superimposed the faint ringing of distant buoys.
Russ became aware that the background of his mind was dimly beginning to wonder
whose later memory of it would demonstrate to him without a doubt that his mind—
shackled or no—created his own reality. A naked lady emerged from the sea, trailing
seaweed and kelp behind her, illuminated by the moonlight. To Russ, there in the wee
hours, it was tangible and immediately-palpable verification that life had in fact sprung
from the oceans—it was doing so now, in front of his very eyes. Russ remained seated,
transfixed, while the woman walked to him, her hair a tangle of seaweed.
The woman squatted in front of Russ and reached, with her thumb and two
fingers, up into herself, extracting a small vial, one of whose ends she uncorked. Inside
the vial was a scroll, which the Sea Creature unrolled, displaying its magical writing, and
the woman read in her melodious voice to Russ from the scroll, in what was surely the
First Language. Whatever the message was, Russ knew he understood it at a very deep
level. The woman looked at Russ to make sure he had understood, then ceremoniously
rolled up the scroll, placed it inside the vial, which she corked, then she placed the vial
pointed to the Moon with one arm and the North Star with another, before she walked
For Russ, when the pills wore off, the event would be considered just the first in a
series of acid-induced hallucinations. But for the woman who had in fact emerged in the
flesh from Fresno Bay, it was yet another in a series of goddamn miscalculations she was
continually suffering at the hands of those from whom she took her orders. She was
another Soviet agent bearing the exact same matrix-message as the one now in the hands
of the American government, and she’d scuba-dived to the precise place on the beach her
Soviet handlers in the submarine had pointed out to her, despite her protestations that this
was not the site indicated by the coordinates. As a precaution, she’d taken care to stash
the scuba gear underwater, in case she’d need it later, before emerging from the ocean for
“Good thing I hid this scuba gear,” she thought as she again swam underwater,
this time in search of the proper strand to beach on. Whoever that was she’d met back on
the beach, he sure as hell wasn’t expecting her. When she’d shown him the vial, he was
supposed to take it and vamoose with her to a safe house. But he simply sat there, as if to
say “Open it up,” which is what she did. She showed the uncomprehending lout the
message, and even read it to him, for chrissake, before realizing that this guy was not her
contact. And how in hell was she supposed to sound out that gibberish, anyway? No
sense to any of its seventeen lines. Once she figured out for certain that her handlers had

position by using her body as a crude astrolabe, pointing her arms to the moon and north

agent held by P.I.S.S. and about a dozen other young Soviet women, were all KGB
operatives who had been ordered to smuggle the same matrix worldwide, as a test of
efforts. The only thing different, from one matrix to the next, were minute variations in
the composition of the paper they were printed on. The matrix itself was meaningless.
The whole operation was the brainchild of an up-and-coming KGB bureaucrat named
Andropov.
Back on the wrong beach, Russ struggled to recall the exact words the woman had
intoned, his memory receding as the pills he’d taken wore off. By the time he was sober,
the only bit of the Sea Creature’s elocution he could remember was the ninth line of the
matrix, the one smack dab in its middle. A few months later, Russ would cut a record
with those words as its chorus, using his stage name, Davis á Vill. It would become a
national smash hit, eventually working its way into world-wide cultural consciousness.
Go figure.
Svetlana, the Soviet agent who would be called upon to demonstrate her talents to
senior members of the American Ruling Elite later that day, had her own back story, the
telling of which is important, as she will re-emerge later in this book as a major character.
revolutionaries who had been internally exiled shortly after the Russian Revolution. The
members of this group, who had wanted the Mensheviks to prevail, had been sent by the
victorious Bolsheviks to the Sakhalin Islands, where they could do no harm. In the
direction the Soviet Union was taking under Lenin and Stalin, but they had enough sense
not to yap any too much about it. Some of their children had married and held similar
feelings—one such set of parents had beget Svetlana. During late August of 1945, her
exiles, had foreseen that the triumphant Americans would set up an occupation force in
the Japanese Islands, and they bribed vodka and saki smugglers to take their children
across the Le Perousa Strait to Wakkanai, the northernmost city on the Island of
Hokkaido, in Japan. The children were given instructions to get as far away from the
Sakhalins as possible, and surrender to someone who was from America, where their
Most of the children made it across the strait to Hokkaido, and began traveling
south by night in small groups, some of them fortunate enough to find and surrender to
American forces, some being intercepted and detained by the extemporized remnants of
whatever local authority might still exist, some being shot as looters, while they foraged
for food. In all the confusion of the war’s aftermath, it took the Soviets a while discover
this small exodous, but once they did, they sent scouts into Japan to recover their
wayward citizens, as the state—like any administration—could not bring itself to admit
that it was capable of making any type of mistake that might cause its charges to want to
leave.
Svetlana was the last of the living escapees to be found. She had became
separated from her group, and made it all the way to the southern island of Kyushu,
where Nagasaki was. She had been secretly wandering southward for well over a year,

Neither the woman nor Svetlana knew it, but the Soviets were still actively searching for
any of the Sakhalin escapees that might still be around, and they were closing in on
Svetlana. Be that as it may, the American convinced the elders of the monastery that the
Russian ought to be allowed to stay, and she became quite a sensation there. But almost
immediately the Soviet agents finally caught up with Svetlana, snatching her off the street
Given the choice of her parents being killed or her spying for Soviets, Svetlana
chose the latter, and she began spending a fair amount of time off the monastery grounds,
to be trained as spy. This wasn’t against the rules, as she’d taken no monastic vows. The
American noticed that Svetlana’s absences from the monastery were slowing down her
progress, and in order make up for lost time, she explained to Svetlana about clitorises.
Sex was a big part of the day at this particular monastery. The young Russian was
immensely grateful for this particular boon, and the next few weeks were the happiest of
her life. Then one day, without even so much as a chance to say goodbye to her friends
in the monastery, she went to spy school and the Soviets sent her on her first assignment,
which was to smuggle a message into America. But she got picked up by American
Intelligence before she even left Nagasaki, and shipped to the states, where she was
called upon to strut her stuff before the Wise Men of P.I.S.S.
