Operation Bodyguard It is April 1943 and Rama is crossing the Atlantic ocean aboard a liberty ship. Rama had always wanted to visit the United Kingdom, just not under these circumstances. The U.S. and allied forces knew that the Third Ravana's eyes were on them. Spies were sent over like monkeys. Every spy that was sent in was caught.
