Jeffrey Pelt:
Let's assume for a minute that you're right and this Russian intends to defect. What do you suggest we do about it?
Jack Ryan:
We definitely grab the boat, sir.
Jeffrey Pelt:
Hey, wait a minute. We're not talking about some stray pilot with a MiG. We're talking about several billion dollars' worth of Soviet state property. They're gonna want it back.
Jack Ryan:
Maybe it's enough then just to get some people on board and inspect it. Call it whatever you want to; a-a Coast Guard safety inspection.
Jeffrey Pelt:
So, how do we proceed?
Jack Ryan:
First, we need to contact the commanders in the Atlantic directly. The Russians get one whiff of this through the regular communication circuits, the game is up. Second, we need to figure out what can we do to help him? We need to devise a plan to intercede, ready to go at a moment's notice. And third, somebody's gotta go out there and make contact with Ramius and find out what his intentions really are.
