 * StoryTitle1        = Kent Blake
 * Synopsis1          = Kent Blake has joined a military strike at a location called Doom Mountain, which Kent has to infiltrate as part of his mission for G-2 Military Intelligence. He joins in a push to try and break through the Chinese defensive, but they are forced to go back. Returning to base, Kent meets with Major Kruger and Colonel Harnett who inform Kent that aerial recon of Doom Mountain has found it's peak camouflaged. Stranger still is the fact that equipment has gone on the blink and photos have been fogged when used around the area leading military intelligence to believe that the Chinese are using atomic energy in the area to build nuclear rockets. In order to complete his mission to destroy the atomic rockets, Kent is assigned to work with a specialist, Captain Farrel, who has been ordered to accompany Kent. After meeting Farrel, Kent expresses his concern with working with such a young soldier to Major Kruger, however Kruger assures Kent that Farrel is just the man he needs on his current mission.

Kent and Farrel return to the battle front and manage to slip past enemy fire and get across to the base of Doom Mountain. There they are spotted by Chinese soldiers but manage to knock them out and continue on their mission. After a treacherous climb to the top of Doom Mountain, the pair find that their commanders worst fears are true: That the Chinese are working on nuclear rockets on the top of the mountain. Checking his Geiger counter, Farrel also confirms that the area is rich in uranium and other fissionable materials to make the bombs, making it a strategic advantage to the enemy.

Spotting an enemy rocket ready to be launched, Kent and Farrel sneak up to it and divert the rocket to launch harmlessly into the sea and set it off. As they flee back down the mountain, the rocket's blast off destroys the enemy base, leaving nothing behind.

Back at base Kent Blake gets patched up by a medic while he explains the outcome of his mission to Major Kruger. When he asks what happened to Captain Farrel, Kruger reintroduces Kent to Bobby Farrel, who turns out to be a woman. They explain that they disguised her as a man so that Kent would allow her to accompany him on a mission. This turns out to be a delightful surprise to Blake who then asks Farrel out on a date.
