Look up more details about the mission

Alex calls up the mission briefing file and begins to read.

The premise of the television show is a lot like "Survivor," but instead of living in primaries conditions, the contestants will be quite comfortable. The contestants will be divided up into teams -- the composition of which will be shuffled up from time to time to make things interesting.

The teams will compete against each other at least once per day, with the losing team going into a competition amongst themselves to see who will be sent home.

In addition to team competitions, individual contestants will each be assigned certain tasks that will allow them to rack up bonus points.

Since this is all for the purpose of a tv show, the entire island is covered with cameras and microphones, allowing the producers to see and record every intimate detail without obtrusive cameramen. That was going to be a major complication for Alex's mission.

Alex was about to close out the briefing when he noticed one last section that appeared to have been added almost as an afterthought: "As an added element of intrigue, this season the producers have insured that every female contestant is a full-blown nymphomaniac. This fact will not be revealed to any of the contestants until after the competition is over."

Alex was momentarily distracted from the mission. A week on an island with a bunch of nymphos! He got an erection at the thought. But then he immediately thought of Sabina and his determination to be faithful to her. He was ashamed that he found himself wondering just how much he might be able to get away with.

Trying to shake that thought, Alex closed his eyes and tried to sleep before the plane started its descent.
