III - Intelligence

The Imaginauts are off again on a search for 'Intelligence'! Could you have a relationship as with an AI? Would you want to? Would you pay US$90 for the custom package? What's the world of espionage really like? Is one of history's greatest spies really called 'Garbo'? And where's Chief Engineer Tom? Who's flying the ship!?

All these questions answered and more!
